Get a jump start on becoming a skilled off road rider!
I have been riding street motorcycles for many years and recently also started doing some trail riding on the dirt bike.
After watching the Long Way Round TV Series me and some of my friends became convinced to go on a motorcycle riding trip where we needed to go on unpaved roads to be rewarded with great nature views.
This training video fit the bill very well.
I sometimes cannot believe BMW was ok releasing this to everyone. Essentially it is an excerpt of and a window into what their off road training academy does.
You get a introduction to common challenges to off road riding, adjustments to make on your bike before you begin, techniques to focus on as you begin, and a set of drills to help bring your skill level up.
Highly recommended!
Great Information to Reconnect with Off-road Riding
This DVD was well prepared and includes the necessary information to learn and hone skills necessary for successful off-road riding. I found myself going back to the DVD several times, after I tried different methods of riding, as explained in the DVD. Being an accomplished on-road rider, and fairly decent off-road, I am of the opinion that the instructions presented hit the nail on the head, which should help novice and accomplished riders collectively. Although 95% of the world's road are not paved, enjoying those experiences hinges on riding safely and minimizing injury or damage, so that more and more roads can be ridden. I strongly encourage anyone who wants to brush up on off-road techniques, or for the novice who wants to learn how to do it right.
Worth the watch
The basic tips from day one of the BMW off road course. I would say its worth the $2 rental. You got what, 10k or twice that in your bike so this is nothing. I've been riding for over 40 years and started in the dirt. Haven't done dirt for years and got an adventure bike, big and heavy. It's nice to have someone show you what skills to practice and drills to do to help you in the rough stuff. He explains things in a way that lets you understand easily what he's getting at and may even give you that aha moment when he explains why you've been doing something that seems to come natural to you for years. Recommend.
