No dirt needed, dirt skills: the rolling hip pocket turn
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лют 2024
- The perfect no-dirt-needed dirt skill to practice. The combination of rider skills are the ones that get rusting in the off season and are most significantly missing in riders I train. This is a common U-turn technique I use off road

0:53 is a HISTORIC MOMENT. NO HAT.
I literally did a double take
It's an imposter. Only explanation for it.
If I did not recognize the voice I would have doubts if it's really Bret...
And I mean, he looks badass like that
The coppola is always cool, but I would say totally not needed
that's how i *knew* this was AI generated.
No one heard or saw a thing you did here Bret after we saw you with no hat!!!!!! 🎉
In the 1970's when I was a kid, I would turn my Bultaco around like this on tight trails. Except, being lighter, and much younger, I would Rev it and dump the clutch to slide around. That was so fun, and u could turn on a dime.
It's good to see that you don't always wear your cap when not wearing the helmet. Great video. Thanks
Glad to see you've ditched the cap Bret!
I am so glad to see you Brett, on a real motorcycle 😎😁
You are such a Genius, Sir 👍💪
Learned this one at Brett’s class last year. Once you get comfortable with the rolling mount and dismount, it definitely saves energy! Especially helpful for people that are riding tall bikes
It's amazing how useful these types of techniques are in the real world
@BretTkacs very useful for my 990 S with high COG and wide turning circle.
We have a long tailed Weimaraner, favorite part of the video was see that happy hound running along with you. I'm signed up for GA ADV challenge in late March, very much looking forward to it!
The foster mutt doesn't get to join me in GA 🙁
Great skill to train. Especially into you less favoured direction. Getting it right will certainly impress your friends. But I don't see it on tight mountain tracks. Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg
Nice skill to have and good advices as usual. Thank you.
This is a more useful skill than most give it credit for... Mostly those you don't understand or can't do it
You are the man Bret! Also great to see you without your Spanish hat! Greetings.
Great, I can't wait to try this!
Awesome trick! Could’ve used it yesterday!
Thank you for doing these. I am just stepping into adventure riding at 53. I have a dirt background as a youngster, but those skills are rusty to say the very least. Energy conservation makes perfect sense, and I will be practicing these excercises as soon as it quits snowing up here in Great White North. Again thank you.
Great job very informative. Keep it up.
Fantastic technique Brett, but you forgot to tell us how you get your helmet off and hat on so fast. That is the coolest move. Dave from Canada
Great video thank you
I live SoCal, yes, I know, I know. But I tell you what... The riding season is about 11.5 months of the year😎🤔😁
I think I had to perform this maneuver in a trail with a 600 lbs adv bike . It wasn’t as smooth as yours but I got the job done . So I had a very big tree that fell on the trail ahead of me there was no way to get around so I had to turn my bike using this method . Now that I’ve seen it done right it all makes sense. Thank you Bret !!
Fantastic... I love when riders share the practical use of the free lessons I share online
GREAT info.... Dang Bret you make it look so easy lol.
It is easy 😁👍
Always enjoy your videos… hat or no hat now. You look distinguished without the covering.
As always, good vid.
Mannnn, thats cool like the other side of the pillow👍👍
Impressing and useful, great ideas. Regards Susi Lippstadt, Germany G65GS❤
See you next month in Virginia. I'm sure we'll learn this skill.
When you,ll come to Mexico? I learn a lot with your videos, thanks for your passion to teach
Thank you.
Looks intimidating to do that is in practice but looks a very useful drill to get comfortable handling the bike off the saddle
I feel like I did this before. I also feel like I may have been dreaming
Neat trick.
I’d like to see this demonstrated on dirt. Thx for the video!

No HAT needed, dirt skills
Well done for losing the Hat, you look 👌
I do that everyday in my driveway. Single lane dirt driveway and I have to turn my motorcycles around to park them in a row.
It's a great method...
''See that dog, do he bite''? Eddie Murphy Saturday Night Live, years and years ago. There's more, but is NSFW..
I prefer to do this towards the hillside so I don’t have to explain how my bike flew off the cliff.
🤣
Why not just ride the bike through the turn?
I’m curious why you’d do this as opposed to other methods of a u-turn? If terrain is suitable to turn at speed then it seems like you’d use less energy doing a conventional turn instead of dismounting and walking with the bike. I’m 6’4” with 36” inseam, so is this primarily a skill a shorter rider would need?
I regularly practice standing/sitting 3-5 mph u-turns on pavement, perhaps this technique is needed in dirt/uneven terrain?
I enjoy your videos! Learned a ton watching!
….its not an event, its a process.
Oh oh. That’s brilliant. Great idea for a writing on a t-shirt.
I have to confess that I’m still sometimes in the event mode 😞
Paul and I don't belong to the "just send it" club 🤣
@@BretTkacs sorry, Bret, I don't get the joke. sorry.
Well I'll definitely keep practicing the rolling mounts and dismounts, learned them at the BMW class. This looks both useful and fun. Oh, btw Bret, I notice you are wearing a Defender jacket - I am really interested in it and am wondering of the gortex inner jacket that comes with it can be worn on the outside? I currently have the offtrack, and always wear the membrane outside so the jacket doesn't get wet.
The liner of the Rev'it! Defender 3 GTX is a GTX jacket that is worn inside the protective shell and cannot be worn on the outside.
Rev'It! makes the Stratum that ia designed with an outer GTX shell www.revitsport.com/us_en/motorcycle-jacket-stratum-gtx-grey-anthracite
Alpinestars also makes a similar design where a large portion of the waterproof outer jacket zips off. They use there Drystar instead of GTX and are 1/3 less expensive than the Stratum and similarly priced to the Defender
The Defender 3 is my suit of choice but I'm going to check out the AMT-10R or of curiosity this season.
Thanks for the reply, and bummer. I think I'm still going to get the defender. Have an outdoor research shell that packs down really small (I carry it during trail runs) and that fits over my current jacket so I'll stick with that. I'm in the southwest, and really don't want to shell out the $$ for a goretex outer shell.
sweet! no dorky hat! I don't believe it! I hat hats...they are hot, unless they are shading me, then I like shade hats.
But they keep the skin cancer off ky bald spot
Bret, I enjoy your content and have shared your channel with many of my riding friends.
I do have a question I’m hoping to find an answer for.
I have seen two bikes with Pirelli scorpion trail II front tires on backwards, is this just in error or is there a reason this is done that I’m not aware of?
Thanks from Alaska
finally got rid of that stupid hat. congrats for owning it. great content too
I’m strongly considering getting the vstrom 800de as a 40th birthday present to myself, then using it to attend your course. Is there any bike you’d recommend in that price range that I might also want to consider? I thought about the AT, used, but I’ve had a streak of bad luck with Hondas.
I don't understand why I wouldn't just stand on the bike and do a standing u-turn?
Do you think this is more difficult dismounting on the right. Here where we ride on the left side, a u-turn is naturally to the right, putting the clutch on the far side of the bars for this type of manoeuvre.
Absolutely! In other videos I stress the importance of using bith sides of the bike for mounting/dismounting as well as which leg to drop, the terrain should dictate both. Riders that follow that advice have far less issues.
I think you should do a lesson on the helmet to hat swap.
I like your riding buddy, though he's not on the bike
I noticed that your front wheel is a 21. Did that change the riding dynamics of the bike?
He discussed that last summer in a video (with Dusty I think). He was impressed with the improvements of the larger wheel.
This is a couple years old...

@@BretTkacs Seems just like yesterday 😁 How time flies.....
If you miss your foot peg on the way back up, you're going to have a bad time.
1:50, you crossed a double yellow line.
🤣
Hi, are you interested in a free trial of our Dirt Bike Handlebar & Handguards or lift stand?
But can it be done on the ATAS ES DCT?
Absolutely! However you will want to brake against a VERY light throttle as you turn if you don't have enough momentum.
The DCT does this very well
What levers are you using on your BMW?
Wild@Heart out of South Africa
Dude! Where's your cap???
Who is this guy that sounds just like Bret?
🤣
Ultimate purpose of this?
Limited space, limited traction roads and trails
Is it possible to do that on bike with DCT?
Use rear brake instead of clutch
@@kingofallworlds 😆 I want to see that. Walking next to the bike and using rear brake. 😂
🤔
Absolutely... The DCT works very well. I don't let my fingers leave the brake lever.
Most don't realize the DCT does have a "friction zone". I normally chose to have VERY light front brake application as I bring the power back on and don't let my fingers leave the brake lever until I am committed to the exit
Looks easy, try it , not so easy on my 990 Adventure. After 15-20 attempts and 1 drop i did it.
But it is so useful once it's mastered! Congratulations
On dct
Noooo hat!?!
I would have lost the bike down the cliff...lol
intimidating, thanks. 😕
If you practice the prerequisites first it is far less intimidating. This is the first video I've done that I've made a prerequisite list
The lesson is great, but Weimaraner is super
He's my foster mutt. I can't have a dog due to my teavels so I foster when I am home for extended periods
I was more worried about the HAT than the explanation....You can't just transition without a heads up videos 🤨
I enjoy the videos though and thanks for the informative videos ✌🏼
Wow. Great as usual, but not for this 70 year old. Well maybe on my 250 with a Rekluse clutch
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAT ???
This isn’t the same guy… sounds like him, though. I’m going to travel back in time to figure out what’s changed. Hmmmm. 😂
;o)
Total respect and admiration for all that you do, but I really don't get the point of this. Improving your skills is a worthwhile thing to do, but this just looks like "showing off" more than a practical thing to do. I don't mean that in a disrespecting manner, but the risk of injury to master this manuver outweighs the benefits in real world situations. Have learned a lot by watching your channel and will continue to do so, just my 2 cents on this particular episode.
I’m bu no means any kind of expert but I can see where it has its place. Executed correctly, it’s easier and probably safer than coming to a complete stop and doing a multi point turn. It looks almost effortless, and Brett is always big on conserving energy.
I use this on a very regular basis on the trail. I haven't had a single incident with riders learning to do this. Of course that is with me there to work them through each step in a layered teaching process. Success is in the details
@@deanmalkewich2366I agree with you. Multi-point turns can be dealt with effectively with this technique
Initial impression, you’d seem correct; this tight turn can be made staying on the bike so long as one condition is met, you’re on pavement.
When trail riding, dirt, gravel, obstacles, this would allow the tightest and quickest possible uturn with the added benefit of if the wheel slips out you’re in position to catch the bike.
Riding is the art of keeping the motorcycle between you and the ground; that ain't it.
Mr Bret seems like a guy who once loved teaching, made cynical by a million dumb a*s students....
I still love teaching in spite of my experiences 😉👍
@@BretTkacs I still love learning despite my experiences.
Nice to see, smooth, utterly useless. There is nothing really bad about it but the fact that instead of chasing irrelevant stunts, people could spend their time practicing actually useful skill. Just doing various radius figure 8 at different speeds makes more sense than this....
This is a very useful skill but the others need to be mastered first
Neat trick.
Useful "trick"
