Most valuable off road technique you'll ever know
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- Taking all your bodyweight away from the motorcycle during impacts and hitting obstacles is a technique that will make you a safer, better rider.
In this video I'll show you how to practice standing up and relaxing your stance so your body mass can float independent of the motorcycle as you hit obstacles and negotiate terrain.

Your stuff is so much easier to absorb, primarily because I feel like I’m getting tips from a more experienced riding buddy, rather than a teacher lecturing an invisible classroom. Plus, the helmet cam real time instruction has an authenticity that really comes through. Even though I know a lot of what you show us, you create a memorable narrative in normal human language that resonates with my “in the saddle” experience. Keep it coming.
Thanks mate, glad you're getting a lot out of this series
yeah but do get the front wheel up in third?
I still dont ... :))
Love it
So I've been watching this video, and practicing weightlessness. The other day I was out on the trail and ran across a chicken. All of the sudden...there it was. And because I was weightless, I didn't even feel the impact. I don't think the same could be said for the chicken. A glance in the rear-view showed nothing but feathers. I turned around and went back...
So not only are you helping me learn to ride my new bike, you're helping me feed my family too.
Thats awesome. Thanks man.
Comment of the week right here, haha!
Poor old chook got it wrong but a bonus dinner for 'executing' the technique. Well done mate!
why did the chicken (try) to cross the road?

He saw someone on a bike who looked like an egg.
I have been riding for over 50 years and I still find a gem or two in every one of your videos. Keep them coming. I made the switch from a 1090 to the T7 6 months ago and absolutely love it.
have a 1290 and thinking of doing the same thing
Damn! You must have invented motorbike riding! I clock only 40 years!!
the best description I can think of is you're trying to use your arms and legs as suspension to keep your body at the same ride height while the bike bounces around under you. If you're tight on the bike it's suspension has to work for itself and you, if you use your limbs and look ahead not only can you do the work for your own weight, but you can anticipate bumps the bike suspension can't and help it out with your own weight.
I have a friend that bought an Africa Twin and wanted to join us on our offroad rides. I made him watch all your videos as homework before his first ride out! 😂
Samesies, I just got the AT about 6 days ago, I'm taking it easy off-road until I get some protection on it but doing my due diligence in the meantime 😁
How did your friend do?
Your tips have actually saved me !!!
I was going for a short ride by myself , going slow just enjoying the ride and then i got to a section that is open and i really like it, so here i am going 3rd gear pinned on a ktm 250sx and as i come around a corner i see a big rock right where i was going, i had no time to change direction due to the speed i was going so i did what you said, i washed off as much speed as i could and then popped the front wheel, i got a little sideways mid air but i went back home in one piece !!!
So thank you Adam for your awesome videos !!!!!
Sounds like it's become instinctive for you now. Safe riding mate
It always surprises me how much I can still learn. I always thought this was just a natural way to ride, instinctive and intuitive, but you've still given me a little more insight. I started riding at 14 with the only lesson from my dad was how to use the clutch, and never had any formal training until I was 30 and decided to try the intermediate MSF course. Even learning about countersteering I was like "duh, doesn't everyone know this?" Now I like watching training videos like this to see how others are learning and what else I can improve on!
i learned most of these things messing around on bicycles as a kid, on a bmx (or a dirt jumper) the only suspension you have on most (more modern DJs have front suspension, but they're generally really hard and set up to take the edge off of massive jumps) are your arms and legs so unless you're using them as that you will have a bad time. Same goes with countersteering because who didn't like doing skids on their bicycle.
When taking a few old tomos bikes on a 160 km round trip that had a rough fire road section a few weeks ago my uncle (who was leading and also grew up in that area riding the same bikes there) and I didn''t struggle at all (if you don't count the rocks chucked at my helmet and legs because i was following too close) while my dad (who didn't mess around on a bicycle as a kid) was really struggling. And that was when i only had about an hour of experience of riding a bike with a clutch and gears (i have a scooter at home that i sometimes ride through the local trails, but that's a whole different beast and a completely different terrain and the road tires don't really help with the mud plus the worn out springs don't support my weight through bumps at any speed).
Your instruction combined with your desire to share and help feels so genuine that it goes straight in. More than clickable UA-cam content, I feel you are building a legacy showing us proficiently how and why to enjoy motorcycling. Good on you Adam and thank you!
I switched from Hayabusa to T7 World Raid. I tryed it one week ago and I absolutely wanted one instead of my big Busa. I'll peak up my new T7 this week. Mean while all your videos are pure gold. Thank you for your work and continue ! :)
That "let the bike come to you" thing also works with mountain bicycles. Thanks to you I have a name for the technique. As always, excellent presentation!
Another great tutorial Adam. All seems obvious to me but I grew up riding dirt bikes on a farm and soon learned that if you don’t lift your weight off you get thrown off. Mountain bike riding also great for honing this technique. Even more noticeable when your body makes up 90% of the combined weight.
Always tuned on your channel, with the best content, tips, techniques on the web ! Please tech us how to do a powerslides, just for fun or a fast turn entry. Congrats Adam! Im your biggest Brazilian fan!👊🏻
your wish was granted!
Years ago (many) when I was, a long distance runner I found it important to run without my eyes moving up and down. This was pure efficiency. Your comments about the helmet staying still turned on a light. Thanks
Just got my first adventurebike. Have been riding for years but mainly custombikes and on boring tarmac.
Now just getting into offroading and these videos are just what i need yo get better and as you say, safer driver. So easy to follow your instructions and how well you go through how i should start training that and then you go through more advanced stuff, so i have a goal to aim at.
Awesome videos. Keep'em coming! 😊
I really appreciate your instructional videos! I rode a KTM 350 and 250 2 stroke (what a hooligan!) yesterday and was able to really practice this on these lighter bikes.
This is so spot on. Flowing (floating) with the bike versus fighting it. I had to learn it the hard way. Wish I would have watched this a few years ago. Thank You!
Cheers!
Such great instruction and somehow also very entertaining to watch. Nice production quality too.
This are the best and easiest to learn videos for off road riding you can find in all the UA-cam universe, thanks for sharing and keep them coming 💪
Pretty good however IMHO,
Preloading suspension front and rear before hitting and object (log etc) makes it easier yet for bike and rider. The timing has to be muscle memory and practiced untill it is! Thxz
Mountain biking is great training for this technique on an adventure bike. Someone (I can't recall who) once told me to let the bike dance about underneath you while you stay relatively in the same position, only counterbalancing.
Muchas gracias por tus enseñanzas, las pondré en práctica cada que salga a pasear. La técnica de no pesar es muy interesante y muy cierto. Saludos desde San Diego Ca. 🇺🇸
Means that, absorbing the hit is relaxing the rider's active muscles under control at the time. Adam your tutorials are so precious. Thnks so much.
Alpinestars pajama range is awesome
Thank you for making these videos. I'm still a novice rider after buying my first bike in my early 40's. Today I went off road and tried to put into practice your riding advice. By the end of the ride, I felt a lot more in tune with my bike!
You have a good spot there to practice and the old log too.
I realize I need to find a more advanced section to practice.
Maybe with a buddy and a sack lunch right?
Love your videos, thanks for sharing with us!! You ride that horse like if it was a bicycle, lol! I’m trying to get more confident riding my T7 and your content it’s the way to go. Greetings from Argentina!
Mountain biking is good practice for off road handling and fitness.
I learnt a lot of my skills on dirt bikes, then moved into mountain bikes and now to adventure bikes. The skill all transfer from one discipline to another. Yes, mountain biking is great fitness for off road motorbike riding.
Wow! Man I love your series about off-road techniques! These videos are so lean and concise! Your experience is valuable thanks for sharing 🏍🏔🙏
So good. This is the way i was taught to ride a mountain bike, using elbows and knees as shock absorbers and maintaining the same height of the head.
Great tips, will practice them on my next ride when possible (:
Can you maybe make a video about driving trough mud one day?
In simple terms when you rise up from the seat but keep your legs bent and arms relaxed your body is giving the bike room to rise up over the obstacle rather then having all your weight in the seat, the same goes with horseback riding weight in the stirrups at all times and "float your butt" in the saddle
I just did my first off road and survive most of it, thanks to you! Short video but really great! 🏍️ I did get stuck on a deep mad but that was just my lack of experience! 😂
Rocks tend to be my nemesis. Last year I was riding my dirt bike on a trail that I have ridden probably 500 times. There's a spot with a bunch of loose river rocks and I generally take the line next to it so I can avoid them all together. That day to avoid colliding with another rider I had to quickly choose the river rock line. A loose rock deflected my bike and I hit the ground. I broke my right knee, 4 ribs, and my right collarbone. I'm 38 and far too old to be getting hurt like that. 😂
Hit everything! Yep, I'm working on hitting every trail and every obstacle in my area!
Went out and practiced this today, huge improvement in the way my T7 takes obstacles, thanks.
I learned this technique from skateboarding great video and breakdown on this technique I wouldn't even know were to begin to explain this
Love From Kerala-India
Great channel, great information. It's hard to find a good channel for bigger off road bikes 🙏 love your advice
What a gorgeous bike thanks for the info I will definetly try to practice this
I love seeing this guy (a kid in heart) enjoying & teaching us how to be safe and ride better ♥. Thank you!
I really wish the inflation wasn't so high here so i could get one go on rides. Hopefully, soon! 🤞
All useful information and it made me chuckle to myself.
Your log hopping technique is exactly how I negotiate speed humps (sleeping policemen) on the road on my 2016 A/Twin which is set up for riding on road and I am a total novice off-road
Cheers Barry. Uk.
Excellent stuff Adam, I´m truly impressed with the whole package, content, sound & image quality! Keep it up!
Trials is probably the best introduction to improving your riding off road. Check out how to " bunny hop" where you also make the bike weightless.
Trials are for black belts.
You are a very good teacher and have a nice way about you in how you communicate. Good job!!
Finally someone that really teaches!
How do shift standing?
Also why is so much fun descending a MTB but scary on a motorcycle?
Yes, weight but...
Excellent masterpiece of a tutorial my friend. Like you said, we should be weightless riding. And instead of a 2 pieces suspension, it is actually 4, adding legs and arms , like a 4x4. We then learn to approach any terrain without fear of fail. Thanks mate for word of wisdom. Hi from Puerto Rico.
It's simple and clear instruction like this that encourages the practice we all need. Great work
Glad it was helpful!
I learned this technique instinctively back when we kids we took our heavy Schwinn road bicycles on all kinds of inappropriate trails. It was that, or fall off the bicycle. It helped me later when I commuted on a road bicycle, ya never know when a random 2x4 or other crap will be on the verge - or getting cut off and having to jump small curbs.
Another great vid. You’re managing to come up w/valuable training content no one else has. Sort have figured this out myself, but this explains the optimal body position/movements.
Love these videos. Thanks for the great info. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Super informative!! Awesome
Thank you! Good skills!
O wow...I've always did this instinctively, without anyone teaching, while riding my street bike every time I saw a pot whole or something on the road I couldn't avoid. I need to start riding off roads.
100% 👊 Great tutorial
3 points of suspension Forks / Body / Rear
Save your joints, elbows, shoulders, knees, and hips
Fewer crashes caused by deflection, rocks and 45' logs because you can react with your feet
Less punctures 🎉🎉🎉
Valuable advice, thanks a lot. I may have to watch your videos over and over again. And go training. Günter/Nürnberg
I love this video. You blend theory and practice very well, while also educating as you go.
There was what looked like some moto-tai chi with the instruction. Lol. Love it mate.
Great tutorial, one always thought of it as turning your body into suspension. The “watch my helmet” was a fantastic way to explain it. 👌🏻👍🏻💪💪😊
"Hit everything", lol, I like that. In 2015 I was in Africa and I hit a double ditch that I didn't see coming at me at 90kph. It was more than a meter deep and wide enough to swallow my XT600 whole. Did I say it was two of them, one after the other, running across the road at 90 degrees angle? As I saw them late, I didn't brake, just stood up on my feet. The first one went better than I expected and I had just enough time to smile to myself thinking "wow, this was easy" when I hit the second one, probably with my suspension compressed after the first one. Man, did it launch me into the air, I didn't know what was happening - and still don't know to this day. The only thing I can actually remember is that the landing after the second ditch was so hard, I didn't know what hit me. For a while I felt lucky to be alive. Yet, the bike didn't miss a beat and kept on straight as if nothing happened. I sold that bike a long time ago, but I regret it now. I couldn't have foreseen that Yamaha would stop making them. Such a shame, they were great little bikes.
I’m too old and stiff these days to get onto stuff like this but on country lanes in the Uk the roads are pretty bad in places Adam and I have definitely been saved from certain injuries by applying your off road style and dumping all the unnecessary stuff I had on my Africa Twin cheers mate
Awesome content! Calm, on the point. A win for every adventure bike rider. Thank you and best regards literally from the other side of the world.
Another great video 👍 I always liken it to downhill skiing where your legs are acting as your suspension dampers, soaking up the bumps
I don't ever know this technique before. I suppose human have the instinct when they face different kinds of obstacle on road. My body always comes naturally to standing mode when I saw an obstacle ahead and it feels really natural when it happened. Thank you for explaining the technique mate!
I try to practice this technique all the time during commute, whenever there's a speed bump I try to do the floating technique.
Seems to work really well and it really does feel like you are floating over the road with the bike doing its thing underneath you. However if I combine it with accelerating or harder braking its very difficult, as it seems I have very little forward/backward stability (feels like leaning too far over the bars). Probably bad standing technique or setup.
Never thought that you could combine it with the pop so well to process obstacles. Great stuff.
You need to shift weight forward/backwards BEFORE you accelerate/brake.
GOOD TO SEE YOU USING DIFFERENT BIKES, LOVE THE KTM 500 AND YAMAHA 700 .
🍒, sure needed this info (40) yrs. ago! 🍎, Absolutely complete & understandable.
You are the best teacher! It was informative and visual! Thnx!
Love from Andhra Pradesh,India 🇮🇳
Great video! It would be awesome to compare the force at which you hit an object with both techniques.
Bravo mate!
🙌
I daily commute on 700x25, transitioning is key with potholes lol; while pedaling in aero tuck, on bullhorns.
"...and letting the bike eject up to me"... That r the true words, why wightless riding is the deal! Thanx sooo much for your lessons!. Great, Adam! Henry from Oberursel/Germany By the way: It.s the same with bumps and moguls in ski technique...
Excellent instructions. Cant weight (lol) to try this.
The shots were you’re absolutely giving it the berries, sounds so sick!!!! What an animal that bike is!
Works! Also on old africa twin rd04! Now the real problem are my legs 😂 thank u!
Thanks for very good tutorial😄😄😄
Thanks for the no BS straight up explanations - learning heaps
Great stuff as always and the reason I love the new speedbumps in my neighborhood...everyday practice. Thanks for all the great content.
Absolutely. Speed humps are the perfect opportunity to practice the weightless method.
Super video and super useful!
a couple of questions:
- what about the boots? it's necessary to "squeeze" the bike with the ankles in order not to lose the pegs, right?
- and what about to put a second gopro on the side of the obstacle and make a slomo of the impacts? 😁😁
Love these video's, I learn something new every time.. thanks from the USA
The most important lesson I learned riding Downhill Mountainbike was by a really talented rider, when he said "the bike is going down that mountain anyway, you are just the passenger. let the bike do its thing"
The roughter the terrain gets, the more this becomes true. get weight off your front wheel, loosen your grip and let the bike do its thing.
You are a great teacher! Thank you for your videos!
Good stuff! So many tips & techniques to absorb. My folks started me riding in my pajamas as well. 👍
Your skills are incredible. I thought I was getting a bit better with my riding but I have so far to go. 😂
thanks for going to the effort and running through this for us..
good to know my enduro skills will carry over to my t7 😀
Tanks for the encouragement mate. Wish I still had my 2010 GS. Took it off road a bunch of times, but it was just to big.
Till next time. Cheers mate.
Arie, appreciate you actually going to play to help us play a better. My questions are how well do you latch yourself on to your motorcycle when you stand up, and also the angle of bend in your arms and knees while standing up, how well should one distribute the weight biasing, forward, rear while standing up, your feedback would be much much appreciated.
I feel like I've been doing this instinctively on my xr400 if i know im gonna hit gnarly terrain i stand up and bend my knees and elbows for the impact great tips definitely gonna try and take advantage of more of deweighting from the bike.
So helpful and informative. Thanks
Always tuned on your channel, king regards from Barcelona!
Very good advice including real time examples. Invaluable.
Sick moves bud. Thankyou
These vids are so good man
Thank you for this.
You are the best person to learning from.
Thank you!
Another great video and I've got lots to practice when winter clears out. I had to chuckle at the rock field, my pasture looks like that, I won't have to go far to practice. 😅
This is something I noticed I do because all of my toys lack good suspension. My snowmobile has a blown rear shock and forces me to handle every bump as if I weren't on it. I do it when hitting the big dips in the railbed trails I ride. It makes a huge difference. If I fully weight my bike, it will pogo when I come out of the dip. If I reduce my impact on the bike it will handle the bump like it was nothing. This all takes place at 60ish mph so keeping your line is very important.
You're 100% all over it 👍
Awesome videos....so many mountain bike techniques that can be transferred to off road motorcycle riding....so well explained...
Love your videos. Always looking forward to them. Thank you!
Thanks again man!
This stuff is invaluable as a newbie adventure rider, all of my experience was from GSXR's and a Hypermotard which has all become useless on a little baby KTM 390 ADV!
Basically you turn your body into another form of suspension for the bike. Your joins being slightly bent are acting like a spring that absorbs shocks.
