glad I found your page my friend!! I commute my Triumph Rally Pro into and out of seattle as well! Super glad to have found someone who's also loving the ADV bike. No better state for it!
I often set up a Gras track for my daughters (8/11) and while they are riding I like to practice things like full lock turns, balance skills and other basic slow speed stuff. Its a great opportunity.
Good video, thanks for these drills. I’m a competitive mountain biker and can do trackstands on my mtn bike for basically as long as I want… but I’m really struggling with this on my Scrambler XE. Not sure if it’s just the weight difference between the two, but I certainly need lots more practice on the motorbike.
Ah, yes - the ballance game... Used to do it all the time : stop the bike and the engine, ballance the bike while moving one foot to the other peg as the foot from that peg went to the front axle then foot of the first goes to the other bide of the front axle. You ARE holding the front brake, aren't you - Now there should be a foot on both side of the front axle. Shift the first foot to its opposite peg , move the second foot to the other side of the front axle - foot of the first movement to its proper peg and foot of the front axle to its proper peg. Now stab the kick starter lever, put it in gear and proceed down the trail. Without a dab. That was on a '70s Bultaco trials bike. When it and I were both "new". I'll be 80 next year. Still have the Bultaco - so the unspoken question is - - - By the way, You have a very interesting regimen too. Different machines, different approach - obviously. Powering down the trail with a big smile.
My bike is ready, I am not. I need to get my core stronger. I don't want to go to the gym, so have just started working out around the house. Maybe do a video for tips on exercises focused for riding? I would assume mainly core and upper body?
One thing to note is that balancing a 1250 GS is much easier than balancing a 750 GS. The center of gravity of the boxer engine equipped bikes is much lower.
When YOUR bike is stationary and balanced you can feel how much leeway you have to lean the bike before it becomes unmanageable. When you're riding slowly you'll know how critical it is to find the exact balance. Just try it.
The biggest challenges for filming Dusty videos are finding time in his busy schedule AND the 1000 miles of travel it takes to meet up. Wish we had a sponsor :)

Thank you!
2:40 That is incredible balance! Thank you for this!
Right on!
Great vid. Glad to see y’all up and running vids again!
More to come!
Wauw! Truly inspiring, very well deliverd, fun and confronting. And leading by example. I'm going to find minutes before and after commute.
Good reminder to practice this on the regular!
Absolutely!
Just add ly and drop two redundant words, it’s easier
You’re right, I need to practice these full lock turns more often. Thanks for the video & tips.
I'm gonna eat so much dirt, thanks!
Noice! Missed you in Idaho. Next time. Rock on 🤘
Shenanigans! Way to go, dude. Great demo of what's possible...bent my universe.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I got up to 30 seconds using a brick to block the front tire (Honda CRF300L), then I was immediately humbled when I tried it on concrete. LOL
Track stands are easier if you can dig the front tire into a little dirt.
@@MOTOTREK so I'm learning. Thanks for the helpful vids. Being 51 and starting a trail riding hobby has been interesting!

Really great advice, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, thank you for the reminder on the important skills that are overlooked.
I think this is one of the most useful videos i’ve seen… perfect for someone like me who is just starting out into enduro riding! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Más videos como éste compañero que ayudan mucho. A seguir 💪
Wow great exercises 👍 doing balance at edge of big drop off 😮very impressive 👍 yes more practice needed by me 👍 cheers Karl in Oz 😊

Genial y muy util
Some wheely tips !!
I am seeing some dirt naps in the future 😂
He is Luke Skywalker's cousin...
Cool.
The only drill I'm interested in practicing is the helmet to flat cap transition.
Hey I'm down in Kent WA. Where was this video taken? I'd like to see it for myself! Looks beautiful.

I need to practice track standing. Would be a Boss Move to not touch the ground through an entire stop light cycle.
What tires are you running BB?
Hey I'm in seattle too. Im having trouble finding good trails i can ride nearby. Any recommendations?
All the good dirt is at least an hour out of town. There's Tahuya near Belfair, or Capitol Forest near Olympia, or into the Cascade foothills.
Hello is there a difference between find tha balance then do the balance?
When YOUR bike is stationary and balanced you can feel how much leeway you have to lean the bike before it becomes unmanageable. When you're riding slowly you'll know how critical it is to find the exact balance. Just try it.
Im not that tall i can only tip toe mine 😂
I swear, if I see one more demonstration of "you can hold the bike up with 1 finger"... we get it! That's how literally everything works
Where is Dusty?
Out leading rides and doing classes. He’s a fantastic teacher!
Miss Him, hope he will back soon on Chanel. They both will give us nice content. 🎉
@@Na_Tubie agreed!👍

This video would be more convincing if you'd do these on a top heavy adv bike
Thanks. Now that you've shown what you can do, maybe it would be useful if you taught too.
Maybe start here?
