    This is by far the best tutorial for counter steering. I've been watching and reading everything I could find on this topic and your video is the best. Perfect timing as well, I just brought home a new Ducati SCRAMBLER Desert Sled today.😎

    I think I speak for thousands off off road riders when I say we trust and appreciate your tutorials mate. Thank you for the passion, time and effort you put in to help us all.
  • @cathodion
    Your style in both riding and presenting is awesome. Down to earth, funny and informative.

    It was your warhorse story that made me come back on top of a bike, for the first time, after nearly getting killed in a traffic accident about 14 years ago... In more or less a month I bought a new adv bike, and if all goes well, in three years I should upgrade to a t700. Been recalling a lotta stuff and getting a new understanding and new stuff in these videos. Things that weren't available to me in my youth. I'll never be at the level of a guy like you but since I got back and refound myself and a sort of joy that was long forgotten, I stopped smoking and I just get out every time I can. It's like if I'm a bit of an old warhorse myself. Thanks mate. Cheers.

    I've just started with offroading with nobody around to teach me all the stuff i need. This man is the cool off-road encyclopedia helping me out with everything i need to know
  • Just went spent 2 days practising the weightless chassis technique, I must say I went from being terrified of the throttle to loving it I had so much fun shifting my weight back an forward to find the perfect spot for that back end to drift as it pleases I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to ride offroad it is perfect.

    As a teenager, riding my 125 two stroke suzuki on the dirt and gravel back roads of northern Arkansas. I used that exact technique. It just felt right and much more in control to me. No one taught me as I rode mainly by myself. I used it on the muddy fields as well. No one has ever explained how it works like you did. I've tried to explain it and teach it with some success but you nailed it.
  • @ridelifenz
    Definitely the most practical lessen I've ever seen. Brilliant demonstration. I just practiced on my 390 and suddenly I was nailing it. What a buzz. thanks mate.
  • @lowiet8979
    You got a great natural feeling for motorcycle riding. Alot of people can do this technique but not many will feel and understand what the bike is actually doing, relaxing the chassis and let it choose it own path.
  • @MrLdvo
    Thank you very much friend! I'm practicing your teachings seriously. Gaining control on my 450 throttle is the most important skill for me. I dream with buying my tenere, but my wr450f still intimidates me so I'm training as much as possible every day.
  • Thanks so much for this, I spent many a day as a kid skidding my mountain bike like this and naturally did this on a dirt bike too. I guess muscle memory helped there. I would never be able to articulate it like you have here. Please keep making these videos, you are a great teacher
  • Once I realised this simple cornering style on the road my cornering became so mush more sure and solid and easy, it utilises the gyroscopic effect of the front wheel, in that the force applied to the gyro acts at 90 degrees to that force so in effect the front wheel pulls you around the corner by the gyro effect and not just road grip. Great content cheers.
  • I'm glad you don't add too much technique in one lesson. It's typically a few days before I can get out on my bike to practice these techniques right now I'm couchsurfing!!! I do very much appreciate these lessons. I've picked up on quite a bit and I'm enjoying riding the beast a little bit more 😃
  • @HVincent83
    Yes!! Finally! I've been looking for a high-speed gravel/dirt cornering technique for an adventure-bike for a long time! Thank you!
  • @craig8187
    Between yourself and another biker named Motojitsu many people can learn some awesome riding skills. I've been riding for just over 40 years and still pickup fantastic tips and even validation and a better explanation of things i already do but dont quite do properly. Great work 👍

    Hi, I watched this yesterday and the extra understanding from this video just saved my life today. I was practicing faster exiting turns on asphalt moutain roads. I was being mindful of this video, feeling the chassis relax, as car came at me the wrong way at the exit of a blind corner. I had both tires drifting with the back out, but managed to squeeze out of the corner whilst full braking. (ABS off). it just kept swinging in the right direction as i got up and leaned forward. Tried and tested, even on road. Scary encounter, but definitely got a new skill :) Thanks for saving my sorry ass. Much love.
  • Your videos are excellent. I learned a lot of these techniques in the early to mid 80’s on 3-wheelers in the dirt. They were demonized as dangerous simply because people weren’t learning the techniques to control them based on terrain.
  • @ownyourworld
    Great videos , I went out and practised on my gs doing the slalom drills etc and practise makes perfect I feel much more confident off road thank you 🙏
  • I've never heard it described this way. I'm newish to dirt, and this definitely will help me out. I've had the scary moments with off camber or bump just before an unexpected tight corner. I knew I was watching better riders 2 wheel drifting but making the corners that I was struggling with at my much slower speeds. You've just explained what they were doing different in a way I can begin to try out and learn.
