    Confidence is definitely key! I lost my left arm in a bike wreck 11 years ago. Last June, I bought a WR250R and added a Reklus and Scott’s steering dampener, and started riding every Sunday.... and I noticed as scared as I was, the more I rode, the more confident I became. By September I did Missouri’s big ADV Palooza ride, 660 mile round trip through trails and gravel roads, the creeks seems to pull me in for a swim lol but still fun! Our team was one of the winners for 19 and was the coolest trip of my life. Never take unnecessary risks and never give up!!

      Awesome work, man! WR250R has been a great bike for me.

    This is a good video.
    I recently bought a 97 KLR 650, a huge bike for me.
    (I am under 5’10)
    I laid it down for the first time last week on a trail because I was being to cautious and afraid of crashing, if I had just carried a little momentum and wheel speed I would’ve been fine. I immediately became more confident because I realized my own paranoia was getting me in trouble. Ride with confidence, and own your mistakes. Stay on the bike.

    This trip was the greatest bang for the buck imaginable, a real confidence builder. Got my butt kicked but I’ll be back!

  • @orangelion03

    Sweet! That team thing: the best and most rewarding rides have been with the same other three guys, all of us in our 60s, but unlike me, have been riding dirt for most of their lives. I listen, I watch...they encourage, advise, and challenge me to ride my best. No "pushing" or shaming. They have taught me skills and given me encouragement to improve. We ride both big ADV bikes and dual sports.

    I really appreciate the title. "Mental tips", "momentum", facts of the state of mind. These count for skill at least as much as physical abilities. Thanks for helping all us newbies get into dual-sporting :)

  • @DadsDomain
    @DadsDomain 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Great Video. I've learned to pay attention to my heart rate. If its high cause I'm tired thats fine. But if something sketchy happens or I crash and my heart rate is out of control I try to reset and breath deep until it calms down. For me a high heart rate that isn't because I'm tired makes me ride way worse

      @TwoWheeledBooBear 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Most of Nevada, Most of Utah, Northern California and the deserts of SoCal along with much of Arizona collectively make up one of the best regions to ride dual-sport on the globe. I'm in a small town in Northern California primarily due to the easy of access I have the thousands of miles of trails, old mining establishments, ghost towns and unlimited geological resources to explore.

  • @EachAdventure
    @EachAdventure 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great advice man! I’m teaching my oldest how to ride and he had a tough day today when we went out. Next time out I really want to focus on the fundamentals so I might have to re-watch that video with Gabe teaching you. I can’t wait to show him this video so he can see it happens to everyone and the key is to stay positive. Well done! 👍🏻

  • @JoshSmith-vj3yb
    @JoshSmith-vj3yb 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Me and my very close friend still do that to this day. We are constantly critiquing each other when we notice bad habits/old habits in our riding but it's all in good fun. Weve rode together since day one "20 plus years" so theres no bad attitudes if we do say something

  • @mainstreammoto4856
    @mainstreammoto4856 4 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    Well done! I can tell by watching your videos over the years that you would be a great teacher. You remember what it is like being new to riding and not knowing the basics that beginners don't know. As soon a teacher makes someone feel stupid about not knowing something simple, the student will most likely shut down and become almost unteachable. True, being humble and teachable is the responsibility of the student but, the teacher has a lot of influence over that as well. Obviously you don't think so highly of yourself to put that in your video but, if your students are having fun with the learning process and making progress it's because you are a good teacher!

    • @neebob2
      @neebob2 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      So well said ! Also I'll add you can not minimize the mental aspect . The number of pro's in many sports who hire sport psychiatrist to take them to another level is amazing . The brain is a powerful " muscle " we all need to harness .

    Great video. This is great advise and agree that having a positive attitude even when conditions or simply the day of riding may not be ideal can literally prevent a not so good day from turning in to a awful day. Attitude and mental fortitude are so much of this style of riding.

    Gabe's not a pro, because the pros saw his dr200 race video and they are afraid.

    can make or break any learning experience
    confidence in the instructor and self and your fellow students

    • @antalgyori6744
      @antalgyori6744 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree. Just wanted to elaborate on what you said about having confidence in the instructor. You have to believe or trust that what the instructor tells you is correct. I invited two riding buddies to take an advanced riding course with me. One guy went because his wife urged him to go. At the course, his attitude was not good. He has been riding for many years and has many miles under his belt. But he is not a good rider. I get chills whenever I'm following him. I can't believe he hasn't killed himself. Everything that was taught went in one ear and out the other. His opinion was that the course wasn't worth the time and money.

    Went out a few days ago and rode the most sand I have to date, now I normally hate sand but after having couple of guys sticking behind me and keeping an eye out made it so much easier to have the confidence needed. On an even better note now I want to go find more sand.

    Thanks Tyler. Another great video about the state of mind that helps to become a better rider. Had an road accident on my motorcycle two days ago. Jumped back on the bike even with minor injouries. Because i learned from horse riding: Get back on the horse asap or the fear will grow on you.
    Much love to you.

    6 years without a bike, just bought a Honda crf300l, pretty nervous and wobbly at first but 300 miles in I'm relaxing into it. I'm addicted to going out just to feel that confidence building. Apart from a Transalp 650 I've only ridden pure road bikes. Explored the local byways today, got a bit stuck when one ended at a narrow gate, hard to turn around with tree roots blocking the tyres.
    Passed the 300 mile run-in period. love it. I want more 20 -30mph balance control, I need a flat grassy field to practice slow u-turns.

    Very good video, I ride with a group of mates who all have different skill levels and different bikes from WR250 to KTM 1190, we have the faster blokes at the back of the pack so that they can ride at their own faster pace after waiting some time for the slower riders to get ahead, thus it does not feel like the slower riders are holding up the faster riders.

  • @advsquared

    @garyhoward2490 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good info.
    I have been riding dirt for 50 years, and have learned many lessons, the hard way. Dual sporting is great. I love it, at this point in my riding career.
    What I see a lot, is guys getting into it...later in life, which is terrific.
    But...many of these people, get kinda overly enthusiastic, too soon.
    Meaning, they get a bike, and right away, buy every damn gadget, and accessories, that they see.
    I get it. Easy to do.
    But when they don't take the time to develop their skills, they get frustrated, because they have been sold a bunch of expensive stuff, that they don't need.
    So they have a big investment in "stuff" that is not only, unneccessary, but a hindrance to their rider development.
    People....don't buy, and carry, so much stuff.
    Leave your bike "stock", don't buy "stuff", that isn't safety related, and learn skills. It's free, and the best investment you can make.
