    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

    • @MOTOTREK

      Track stands are easier if you can dig the front tire into a little dirt.

    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.

    • @MOTOTREK
      @MOTOTREK  9 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      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.
