No BS tips from proper good rider, delivered short & sweet without any nonsense. Excellent.
AR is gold
Well said .. Adam , that’s good mail 😘
That's exactly what I thought!!
I wish videos like this existed 15 years ago when I went to the Sahara on a YamahaXT600 with zero off-road experience. The only advice I was able to find on the internet at the time was: when it gets rough, stand up. Honestly, it did help me, but I wish I knew these tricks as well. If anyone cares to check my video from that trip, (it's professionally produced), here it is: kzhead.info/sun/lK99eqavamWKY6M/bejne.html
25 years of riding sportsbikes and now 5months of owning a new dr650, think i learned more in that 11minutes than i have in the last 5months. Please keep the tutorials coming your a natural teacher
You just ruined these years.
5 months is one thing, real riding hours something else
Coming from many years on street, to dirt................can be a real trick. Going from mostly 100% traction to all kinds of levels of next to no traction, is disconcerting for most. Takes a while. Im glad I learned dirt on much smaller bikes, and learned as a youngster.
Welcome to DR 650 family.I've got my first one in 1995,still have one today but in Europe,where i go every year to ride it.
I really pays off watching videos but also attending as many courses as financially possible, you will definitely get more out of your bike
30+ years on the road and now on adventure bike since April of this year. Taking in all the little tricks i could find. Went on a two day off road class and practicing whenever I can.
cost much?
Everyone should learn in the dirt so many times my dirt experience has saved me on the streets
I've read books, attended trainings, watched a lot of vids. This is BY FAR the most condensed and best explained content on ADV riding I've come across. Thanks mate, subscribed!
-Hi Bxx radio controled, ----> must have been bad books and lousy training s !
Try actually riding for a change
Your biggest gift is the confidence you invoke in your viewers with your calm demeanor. Not only do you get the knowledge across but you also instill a calm self belief in your viewers that you got this! Bravo!
You legend!
Sarge The Legend!! You’re always an inspiration to the biking world.
Get off his knob already
I was expecting some Indian moto influencer presence , and seeing you here made me happy.
just bought a packet of cones, (football training cones) heading out tonight when i get home from work. i recently bought my first ADV bike and theres a new world of skills i need to learn, loving your videos and channel. cheers fella
I watched this video before going out riding in the Backcountry for the first time in my life. I did many of your exercises and it was SO MUCH FUN. Havent had this much fun on a motorcycle in years. Thank you for making it possible
Should do a series on adv offroad techniques. Would help so many people like myself who are just getting into it! Can't wait to take what I've learned intimate the dirt this weekend!
Check out Chris Birch 'say no to slow series'. Costs money but excellent watch.
Love the concise explanations. 8:54 Technique on how to pop the front would be good to know too. Preload, little burst of throttle, and pop clutch or no clutch?
I love him and his videos but I was like: "how the hell do I pop it?!"
Surely it cant be much harder than with a bike…
If this guy start a course I'll definitely attend to it, so clear and objective, this is a truly off-road master!!!
Watched this video randomly, thinking "another click bait" and was I wrong!! This is a 10min masterclass that could easily develop into a half day class provided time allocated for practicing the exercises. Thank you for the great teaching and no-nonsense techniques. It looks so easy like this but definitely requires a lot of practice to get right and becoming a second skin. Immediately subscribed to your channel to see what else you have to share!
I am a newish rider and I found the "tipping the bike, not you" technique was a game changer ... in my urban riding in tight junction corners in the wet. Makes me feel instantly more in control and confident in the bike.
This was amazing - more like these please! I was out yesterday for the first time this year (Norway, winter) and I rode over something and the rear bucked up like crazy and threw me around on the bike. Somehow I saved it 🥴
"be your ABS", best quote ever
You're a really great teacher! I'm learning to offroad with my heavy 200kg Scrambler 1200 and just seeing you demonstrate the techniques really increased my confidence to go out and practice properly. I hope you'll post more tips like this in the future!
My biggest question has been, how do you go into a turn and power slide if you will.. and I think you’ve given me the answer. The cone drill but getting comfortable with the rear tire slipping out but maintaining that weight over the bike. It would be cool seeing you take that lesson a step further in a future video and maybe touch on those power slides more. Thank you!
stand, weight fwd : throttle back 🙂 trying to power slide a bike with yer ass sitting on the rear is possible but its also asking for inconsistency and trouble
Cone drill. Practice.
Find a low stress spot and play around, don’t forget it’s supposed to be fun!
This is great. I’m gonna start on this next week!
@MM SVB even if it became a fashion, it still teaches you controll over your power output and sliding the rear. So why are you bitching about it?
these videos are a big help for a beginner rider like me! Thank you! Best wishes, TEKKY.
I'm that guy your talking about in the video. 25+years road riding, street and track. Minimal offroad riding, picked up an Africa Twin last year and quickly realised that cornering in the dirt is not the same as riding on the road. This video was great. Would be good to see a series of these. Excellent stuff mate, keep em coming. Can't wait to see the War Horse here too.
Me too. I'm 2 years in with a 690R & 890R. Frustrating as he'll, isn't it?
@@philgoogle1535 Sure is but I'm loving it so far, and these video's help immensely
I'm a mountain biker, but this 10+ minutes instruction short film was exactly that many rider should practise! Very goog footage, keep posting, well done,very usefull!
I really appreciate videos like this. Last year I picked up an 890R so I could get back in the dirt after 20 years of on road only riding. The tips and drills are great, but even more importantly, the confirmation that my instincts are correct is a real confidence booster. Thank you.
I always enjoy watching your videos Adam! What I appreciate most is that you alternate storytelling with more practical training like this one. Always nicely filmed. Cheers mate :)
Good points, even for a rider of 50 years experience. I spent my first 10 years on a 200 pound dirt bike. I had great skills then, and transferred those skills into street bikes. Now I'm back to a 550 pound adventure bike re-learning those skills. I liked the part about turning up into the hill for turning around. I've had to modify my Super Tenere so that it was comfortable to stand up on the bike. It doesn't come that way. The one thing I regret is that it has the 19" front tire. But I've learned how to deal with it; stay out of deep sand. On the dirt roads, I have not had to turn off the ABS. As you say, I let my brain monitor the brakes. I've done some pretty hard stopping on gravel with the ABS on. It is indeed why I bought the bike, that and the traction control. I find them both a useful tool. I'm 68 now, and not as aggressive. But I enjoy the back roads which most of them are nothing more than trails.
Good refresher as Spring is Coming! 🏁🌻
Great instruction. Super helpful step by step process. Been on my 790R for 2 years, off road a handful of times…and really excited to find some local dirt roads and begin practicing these things! Thanks so much for sharing!
Your description of body position during turns is spot on. I see a lot of other videos with different explanations, some of which are just flat out wrong. This is a simple explanation. I'd love to hear more from you about body position. Weighting/unweighting, forward/back, etc. I think one thing that is overlooked or misunderstood by many is the fact that you want to be forward/near the tank in most circumstances.
This is brilliant! He makes it so clear and simple. Of course, that doesn't make it easy, but at least easier to understand the fundamentals behind it. Just fantastic!
I get zoned in and mesmerized by your teaching style. Best I’ve seen.
Thanks Adam. You are a really great instructor. Taking show and tell to the next level. Simply told. ❤❤❤
Great video Adam! I am going to get my wife to practice these drills to build her confidence on her dual sport. You do a good job of explaining the basics and are better than I am at articulating it to someone else. I grew up riding without formal instruction so everything just feels instinctual and its hard to explain that to someone else a lot of the time.
This... this is excellent, I have been needing a video like this for a while now. I have a 2018 Street Scrambler 900, and while it's not the biggest bike to off-road...it's definitely bigger than the usual off-road bikes. This was one of the best how to vids I've seen. No BS, easy techniques anyone can practice on any bike, with a straight Forward down to earth teacher. Thank you
Some pretty basic things I do all on my dirt bike without thinking. But on my adventure bike it feels like a different animal so I threw all my basics out the window. Really good to watch and listen to someone era talk and explain these. Thank you!
Fantastic video. You have put into words and video what comes natural to experienced riders and provides clear guidance to newer heavy bike riders!
Love your work Adam. Your videos are great. Very entertaining, informative & they make for compelling watching. Love your mannerisms & approach to everything motorcycling. I'm 63yo, heavily into bikes (one of my bikes is a T7) & I'm learning stuff from watching your videos. Great!! Cheers from a fellow 🇦🇺
Wow absolutely amazing content. Seriously great drills to work on. And I love the energy and chill nature of the way you teach. I’m glad I got randomly fed this video!
I was 13 when I started riding a 450. Naturally learned everything talked about here over the last 22 years of dirt riding
Watch this, and then watch it again. Adam Riemann has an enormous wealth of riding knowledge (The Aussie version of Brett Tkacs, but with KTM Factory Racing experience) and I hope this transforms into a series of ARienmann1 Masterclasses! Thanks for sharing mate!
Man i wish i got these lessons years ago! They would've definitely fast tracked my progress! Keep the good content coming!
Great instructional film- shared it with my friends who are at the start of their off road journey. People often mock exercises but I love them.
These videos for beginning adventure riders are fantastic! You're a great instructor!! Thanks!
Estou aqui do Brasil assistindo! Parabéns pelo profissionalismo. Sabe muito e tem uma didática muito boa.
Great advice. Thanks! I’m fairly new to off road adventure biking, but have been riding mountain bikes for over a decade, and find a lot of the bike handling principles I use riding downhill apply to ADV riding.
It’s cool to watch your very practical videos. I’m 65 and used to race IT 465’s and other bikes and completely enjoy your videos as condescending as they might be to the more experienced riders. I have been riding more that 50years road and dirt. What you demonstrate is spot on and when I watch and relate to my own skills I realise I do this kind of with out thinking. The old saying that you can’t buy experience or you can’t put an old head on young shoulders is absolutely true. I’m not as fast as I used to be but can still keep up with pretty much anyone. I wish you well and keep up the entertaining videos.
Your presentation was by far the best I have seen in years. Thanks for the valuable info and for your excellent delivery.
What a great video! I will definitely be trying the exercises (minus the hitting the 'twig' during a wheelie ;) ) Are you thinking of making more videos like these? If you are taking suggestions, I think in particular a riding position/hand-position,foot position, how to shift and brake video would complement incredibly well, as having a good stance and grip is vital (maybe even prerequisite) to doing these drills. Also perhaps a video on how to set up the bike for riding offroad (the height of shifter/brake pedal, adjustments to handle bar etc). Kind of like the foundation to build upon. Also of course more advanced stuff like, how to 'pop' the bike as you showed in the video, how to ride specific terrain (ex. deep sand with ruts), where exactly to look etc.
I appreciate your advices Adam. I rode street and dirt bikes for many years, but I was wondering how things actually worked with such a heavy bike as an Adventure! Really cool to learn from a pro! Cheers from Québec!
Mostly summarizes my pain points riding off road. Very helpful thank you 😊
What a great instructional video for riders of any skill level. I've ridden off road my entire life and still learned about things I didn't even consciously realize I was doing. Thank you.
Great video, i'd love to see a whole series on this subject. I've been riding a sport bike only for over 10 years and i don't know anything about riding in dirt. I freak out as soon as i see a little patch of sand on a curved road so i always wandered what it's like to ride a dirt bike. Give us all the details ✌🙂
Great vid, great tips. I kind of knew all of this through instinct, and years of riding experience, but would find much of this very difficult to actually explain to somebody else.
Thanks for sharing. It’s a great no-fluff breakdown of the mechanics for these situations that are precarious when you first start riding off road.
This video highlighted many shortcomings in my technique and cleared on how to correct them, thanks a ton.
"iTs Not ThAt HaRd" dude ,im 5'2, youre atleast 5'9, and i weigh 1/4th the weight of the bike😂
Check out Doodle on a motorcycle. Just takes practice 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Brilliant! Makes complete sense about keeping the bike in traction in turns by keeping the body position upright and leaning the bike. Thank you so much!
Coming from road an track riding I've gotta say these videos are transformative cant wait to get out and put them to use again :) thanks for taking the time to share the tips and tricks with us all in a no nonsense way superb
this is one of the best informational videos I've watched on offroad motorcycling and I've watched a lot
SO needed to see this... over 25yrs on tarmac n gravel just not getting into the dirt
This was brilliant! All of my riding knowledge is on tarmac. Had my Tenere 700 for almost a year and it’s been great. Been trying to use my mountain biking knowledge while riding certain terrains. Great video! Definitely going to practice. Thank you!
Lovely way to teach a beginner the best way to learn riding and safety tips at once
Awesome video - great advice! I recently downsized from my T7 to a CRF450 - your recent videos make me miss the T7!
Some really valuable information given here. Thank you Mr ARiemann for the free lesson.
straight up the most informative biking channel
Love your videos. Puts you on the path to better and safer riding quickly. And LOVE the maintenance and set up videos.
Man thanks for this brother, getting my first tenere this year and a novice rider!!! Knowing is everything thanks
This is the best video I’ve seen around. 10+ years into riding proper motorbikes, I recently switched to a GS and this video makes a lot of sense especially the part about body weight. Bravo!
I love this way of explaining. Simple, to the point. Thanks!
I love this. Grew up off-roading and considered myself pretty decent, then moved around a bunch for work and lost the skillset took a MSF course coming back into bikes because my work required it for me to ride. Now off-roading on a heavier bike my brain feels rewired for road riding and i feel so unconfident off road.
Love your way to simplify difficulty! Thank you
Thanks so much! Teaching my kids endurance, as beginners these videos are priceless.
Such a great vid! Amazing how much you can learn in 10min with no bs! Thank you 🙌🏻
Great tutorial of basic off road skills. I will back to this material! Thank you!
This is one of those videos which you will watch every second of it, no skipping, so much of good and helpful information that too only in 10-11 minutes!! I am going to try and master all of these, and subscribing your channel to learn more!!
I can not overestimate how well made this is. Perfection of a tutorial vídeo.
Quite honestly one of the best, straight forward and helpful videos I have seen in quite a while. As a rider who started as young teen on dirt, then went road, then big adventure, I absolutely admit my dirt skills went to rubbish after years of tarmac only. Just as he mentioned-- those road skills you worked SO hard to learn will have your guts on a big bike riding a goat trail. Chapeau. I will add this-- there is more technique in this fellow than he is communicating in the video-- throttle response and body inputs are more advanced and instinctive than your average rider, and he does not mention much of that as he works through these exercises. AND he can flat foot that Tenere. Many riders cannot, diminishing their confidence.
Always enjoy your videos and continue to learn even after decades of riding. Well done as usual, thank you!
That was the first explanation and drill that has ever clicked for me. Thank you for this video. I rode street for years and now have a R1200GS. Going to go find a place to practice this.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you’ll do more videos like this.
Sometimes you just get the feel of it and figure it out yourself, just need some experience and practice. Its good to see someone explain it in detail.
Being a road rider, but plenty of motocross in younger years, this is still fantastic educational video. Quality work!
This is how a tips and tricks video should be made - on any topic - Greetings and thanks from Denmark.
Been riding for years, best advise ever, much appreciated.
Great video. Thank you. Please don’t let this one be your last. You have such great skill and a wealth of experience ,and you really know how to teach, communicate and share it.
I can now take on my paved roads in West Virginia with more confidence now! Thank you!
Good tips, I have been riding my 690 in off road and single track for years now and I am still up for drills and practice that will make me a better rider.
the best online teaching I've found on off road bike, tumbs up mate
I'm in my mid 40's and got back into bikes a few yrs ago. About a year ago I decided to start honing the skills as I've always been a rather average rider skills wise. All my rides are solo which gives me the freedom to practise new skills as I ride without disrupting others. It's been worthwhile. I'm no racer, but it's nice to have the confidence and skillset to deal with sketchy situations or just simply for fun. Adam's videos (including those since this video was published) have really helped the learning process. For me it's alot of practice and creating the muscle memory needed for actions to become more 2nd nature than a deliberate thought process. Anyway, cheers Adam 👍
Beautifully made, and straight to the point.
Thank you. Most of my experience is on the road/tarmac, so I'm exactly the target audience, mostly. I've also spent several years practicing and racing regularly on supermoto bikes (small for miniGP, and still all tarmac) and sportbike-like miniGP bikes (even one I designed and built). I got used to sliding the bike sideways on track. As a result, I've sort of learned some of this already anyway, but it's good to know I'm on the right track and even pickup some drills to help me get better for specifically offroad adventure riding, especially since I just bought a place that has 8 acres that's all wooded with trails. Thanks again!
Back in Wales when I was young, wet logs were often a problem. It hurts so much when you get it wrong it never happens again. Great tips
Thanks for this. Really refreshing to watch skill updates from the GOATs
Best advice I have seen yet for riding the T7
Best straight to the point tips. Not intimidating to watch. Keep making videos like this.
This is excelent man! thanks for your time to film these.. Love from Portugal
Excellent perspective provided. Great job man.
Great video. Older guy that hasn't ridden for decade or so and recently got an XR650L. Getting my riding legs back and your videos are great.
Thanks, will practice your instructions
A big difference in learning is the teacher. you sir, are an excellent instructor.
Thanks for the vid. So many easy tips crammed into just a few minutes.
Hall of Fame YT channel right here ! 🏆 Best 11mins. in Decades of motorcycling (all ‘tarmac’).
Thanks. That really makes a huge sense for me. I just realised why I got into some trouble recently
