yea i find people always try and stay in lower gears and that just digs a hole

Thank you!

Thank You! I’m in the process of launching my ADV Academy. It’s my online training program. It has my entire curriculum of off road training. I’m sure you will enjoy it www.theadvacademy.com

@@SocalOffroadSchool Awesome !! I assume you can watch it at your own pace; a few video lesson at a time? Thanks. I am in.

@@greatfallskam Yes. Once you set up your account you can watch and rewatch the lessons whenever you want.

It's tricky. I try to do it as little as possible but find that it helps me turn the bike a little bit easier. Just always making sure that the leg stays forward and doesn't slide back or underneath the bike.

@@SocalOffroadSchool agreed. I try to keep mine real high when I do.

Yes, same techniques apply on the lighter bike. On the 250, leaning back when riding through deep sand will have a bigger impact because the bike is lighter, so riding with your hips a littler further back will be beneficial.

Thank You! Not yet but I'm looking to do a training event in SA in the coming months (my winter, your summer). I have done trainings in many African countries before but haven't made it to South Africa yet.

We must find a way of connecting directly. I will be a student and moreover, I can assist with coordinating this side. Especially with riders to enroll. I try to get email contact. 👍👍

Thanks for watching!

I’m a new rider, half the vids say grip the bike w knees, other half say stay loose. Personally staying loose was much easier for me through rocks and mud, have to try the sand trail near me. Is there a rule about gripping w knees on different terrain? I’m on a wr250 so a bit different.

@@waynejohnstone3685 Not really. The bike will move with obstacles (rocks, sand, mud, steps, whatever) while you are stable. If you try to hold it down with your legs, knees or hands, you will move with the bike and will have to compensate to regain equilibrium and stance. You will be all over the place. If instead, you steer with your feet and stay loose, you will be very stable while the bike leans, jumps, moves downward or upward. Practice leaning the bike in turns while you stay vertical, make figure eights. Then do it in an easy incline with no obstacles, this is harder. Increase the gradient of the slope. You can also practice on obstacles on a straight line, let the bike come up and down while you remain centered and relaxed. Take your time, breathe, enjoy and relax. See how the bike has better traction when you are centered. Push or let your ankles down, this will relax your calves and give you more traction and control. Once you've managed that, concentrate on your eyesight, look ahead, where you want to go. Try it and let us know.

Thank You!

Yeah me too. I went into 200 meters of sand before giving up after wasting so much energy steering with my arms😅
