Thanks for the laughs and many many thanks for reminding to an old guy the fundamentals of off road and learning to the beginners how to save the precious bike and break something. That was nicely and clearly explained.
Dammit. Watched this after dropping my 701 too many times on a wet Welsh TETTY. When you break it down, it is obvious and simple physics. But I didn't. But you did. I'm going to commit that technique to memory. Thanks. And like a lot of others, I'll say your enthusiasm, humour and knowledge is really impressive and doubly so in what is a foreign language to you. Obrigado and anyone, do the Portuguese ACT and TET. Portugal is a beautiful country, dirt bike friendly and excellent value with plenty of accommodation so don't bother camping.
Thanks for watching and for saying such nice things! Its awesome to get this kind of feedback! And congratulations on yout bike choice...it would probably be my pick if I was ready to leave my XT660R :D
@@OFFroadOFFcourse I'll be back in Portugal soon enough. You're welcome to try my battered 2016 701 with a Nomad fairing. It's a great lightweight adventure bike. I'm off to the Pyrenees ACT and TET next week. I loved Portugal, I've surfed there and ridden the ACT and TET. You live in a beautiful country.
I always enjoy your videos. You have a great sense of humor. Today you did a great job at explaining this process slowly enough and clearly enough that I think even I might be able to do it. Keep the videos coming.
I knew this technique since long ago and used plenty of times. It is epic indeed as make very easy to get out of very complicated situations. I watched all the video thought and picked few hints in how to make it even better for myself. You have certainly helped a lot of people with this 🙂👍🏻
Planning to buy an XT as my 1st bike ever next year after I get a licence. That brought me to your channel. I like your videos and sense of humour 👍 You are as educational as FortNine channel but way more funny 🙂 Definitely deserve more subs.
Hey man, thanks for the words (and for subbing ^^) I love fortnine... I think I am (or try to be) a mix between Fortning and C90adventures :P The XT660 is a great bike, and an awesome "bang for the buck" deal. Are you planning to do a lot of off-road?
@@OFFroadOFFcourse Hi there. Since I am from the Czech Republic there are not many true off-road options unless you want to "donate" your money to a local police office 😁 I won't get more then dirtroads or some temporary highway/depot construction sites here 😐 First year or so, I want to get some confidence and some paid off-road courses. If everything goes allright and I won't wreck myself so my wife won't put me against a "sell or divorce" choice I think I'll be eager to cut of some weight from the XT (2v1 exhaust system etc). Then I will try to steal some weekend once in a while to ride abroad for some Poland TET as I live very close to the borders.
@@GunBiker07 sounds like a plan, man! Lets hope you dont get to that "Sell or divorse" situation! Ahhaha, loved it! XD Its a shame you guys cant ride offroad there in Czech Republic :(
@@OFFroadOFFcourse Well...I haven't said I won't break the law sometimes to get some muddy fun 🙃 BTW as you are an XT owner can you tell me wheter it does matter what XT generation I pick ? For example in the matter of that 2v1 exhaust system or other aftermarket parts. Are there any differences?
Very cool tips man. Nice and simply explained. Just back from an epic trip here in S Africa and a mate of mine could have done with this info on a few occasions! LOL
@@papawhisky2935 He`ll understand anyway. We portuguese and spanish talkers can conversate each one in it`s own languaje happily if not perfectly :D....Que bueno! Que bom! same thing jaja
@@papawhisky2935 jaja...well I speak spanish....the literal translation would be "pedo gordo", as you see......they sound (and smell I guess) pretty much the same :D
I enjoyed and learned something from you today. Haven't yet seen the respected Bret Tkacs teaching this technique, you beat him to it and did a great job of it. 2:50 safardana, long time no see! Cheers, man
Um gajo tanto cai e rebola que acaba por aprender a defender-se :D mas esta tecnica por acaso aprendi na net, na altura dos forums...ja nem sei onde :o
Some great information! What's your advice if you're in the same situation on single track? I tend to do the same process with the bike on its side and swear about my life choices and why I'm riding an adv bike.
Well, to a degree you can still apply this tecnhique, or some principles of it, since it takes the least amount of room to turn a bike around. Probably you have to use the clutch to back the bike into the bushes a little (rear wheel into the bushes) and then use the tecnhique to get the front wheel where you need it to be (pointing down). But each situation/trail/bike will require different solutions :o
Hey there! Its a modded XT660R (2008). I have a video somehwere on the channel listing the upgrades i've done to it. Recently I replaced the stock shock for a WP one as well :)
This technique is probably THE most useful thing I learend from an offroad riding training some year ago!
F9 + OFOC.....20-30 minutes of relaxed delight....

@@GunBiker07 i am not 100% sure, but i dont think there are any differences between them. Only "bold new graphics" :p
Excellent, informative and concise.
If it´s muddy, that´s when starts to get really interesting, to say the least, however good hint here that´s for sure.
Keep going man, well done.
Very cool tips man. Nice and simply explained. Just back from an epic trip here in S Africa and a mate of mine could have done with this info on a few occasions! LOL
learned a new Spanish thing: "que bueno!" :) Cograts on 10k sub, man, you deserve way more for the sheer usefulness of the stuff you put out here!
He's Portuguese 🤣

The front wheel 'wiggle' is a good technique.

Bravo, very good.
Always great advice. Cheers mate
good tutorial!
I try to fail to the right so I can use my kickstand is case I need a break. Good video.
Mais uma dica muito pertinente para quem se quer aventurar noutras andanças
Excelente!!
Mais um vídeo totil Nice. Muy bueno :-)
What if you do not have electric start? Coast back down?
mais de 120/130kg já é muito para andar nesses trilhos. Já passei por isso...
No meu tempo não havia estes ensinamentos disponiveis, aprendi tudo isso á conta de valentes trambolhões🤣🤣🤣
