So many excellent points! Coming from a track and street rider, it is very difficult to train yourself to lean off opposite or lean off and back in a turn. I still struggle with that. It also took me a while to find the right combo of riser for my bike so that I could stand while riding without having knuckle dragger type arm placement. I ride a Hypermotard off road so the bars come stock in a low position as compared to a normal adventure bike. It's funny, the comments about the amount of time you ride standing. For me is just about being old. I generally change position when a body part starts hurting, LOL. It probably works out to be about 50/50. I know there are some states who will ticket you for riding standing on the highway, not cool. One last point. You briefly mentioned shifting weight back coming down hill. But you also mentioned that one does not want the back moving around. How true! I have had to learn that the hard way because I would make the mistake of being indecisive about line choice and make a lot of changes when coming down a hill. My worst crash coming down Imogene was like a run away train because of this. Great job with the vid!

I do miss Brett, but Dusty is THE MAN! Transitioning from street to ADV, this is great advice

Why does this channel only have 135K subscribers? Deserves many more.

Take Dusty’s classes! They’re even better than the videos! I know from personal experience! Strong work Dusty! Thanks for the tips!

I love these "basics" videos. They never get old and I cannot pound enough of it into my head.

It is probably THE biggest thing I still battle with. Apart from confidence.

Thanks! Don't stop making quality content!

Great instruction !! really no complications. No frills or cute antics ! thank you !

thank you Dusty, very clear explanation!!

Go to the extreme first!! Gotta love that advice!!

I have now watched 2 of your lessons Thank you for clearing things up. I have been told many different things by many people you break it down and make it simple with demonstrations that show what your talking about. Thank you.

Just looking forward to practicing these drills. Great music in these videos, too.

Excellent presentation - thank you!!

Lovin your work Dusty. It's hard re-training an old road bike brain to ride off road. Thanks for your help.

Absolutely love the video🙌👍

Excellent Advice. Thank you.🙂

Excellent, thank you.

Al fin alguien que me explica la posición parado. Eres muy bueno. Gracias. Sirvió. Saludos desde Argentina. Like.

Well done mate, thanks, very helpful

Dusty, you're an awesome teacher. Thanks bro.

Thank you so much for all the advices. Real pro!

Thanks a lot for your videos bro, you are awesome. I own a sport bike (Honda CB250F) and even with my bike I've been able to get my way out of risky situations while driving off road in gravel, corners, and uphills. It takes time, practice, and balls to win fear! Nice videos man 👏✌

“Out of whack” - you get a subscribe for making me smile in an uncertain world. Motorcycles have given me freedom for 45 years now, on road and off road. Sadly my Route 66 trip with my wife (was due to start in three weeks time!) has been cancelled so I will view your country’s beautiful vastness through your video.

Good morning Dusty! I saw this video for the first time 2 years ago, and watched’em from time to time when I get some improvement in technique so to be sure to do not loose anything. We miss more content! Please continue give us video!

Love these videos. Thank you for posting

Another good one, thanks Dusty.

These videos are just the best really enjoy the tips and Ive combined it with off road courses in NSW Australia, at 50 you break easier so I suck up all the advice I can , well done keep them coming

excellent video and explanation of body position...well done Dusty thank you from British Columbia Canada

Chris Birch “Say No To Slow” videos are excellent and contradict some of what you are saying. That being said I try and combine any instruction and training I receive to be the best rider I can be. Keep em coming.

This one and the video on cornering fast have been very good. I can't watch without wanting to ride so bad :)

Yesterday I did my first (easy) offroad we followed a trail next to a park it was a little road, I was very scared I will fall down, saw everybody standing I try to stand and my quads were tired after a minute now I understand I should have stretch a little more my legs and rest them in the tank will try this again next time, thank you, wish I could take that course😅

Great coach on person, great coach on video - thanks!

Thank you Dusty that was incredibly helpful

That’s where I grew up, so awesome!

Thanks Brother great advice

So I've been working a lot on the standing position off road and my worst problem is being shot to the back of the bike when accelerating. I've also watched videos from the likes of Chris Birch who advocates bending at the waist and really sticking your butt out. You advocate standing taller and shifting the hips forward when gassing it. I've experimented with both and found that your method works better for me. I can't wait until tomorrow to get back out there and try to apply this more. I was actually trying to break myself standing tall and moving my hips forward. You have me rethinking the entire concept. Fantastic video start to finish.

excelente vídeo, gracias!!

Yet another great video

Hello teacher!!! Thank you very much for all your advice. I really enjoy your lessons, because now I ride my BMW 1200GS with more confidence. Blessings and a hug from Mexico. I am from Sonora, and my roads are beautiful to ride on my motorcycle. Great detail to have a sticker from Mexico. Blessings to you and your entire family.

Greetings from Costa Rica! Thanks a lot for these excellent pointers! I have 10 years of street riding, and getting now my hands on an adventure bike...so you just taught me basically the opposite to what you do on asphalt! (at least on sleeks cornering, I mean.) CR has great mountain and beach bike trails so am planning to get the most out of your teachings. Visit anytime! Pura Vida!!!

All of the Mototrek comments are going through my head whenever I go off road now. Thank you all for your great videos. It has definitely saved me from crashing a few times. Was planning to ride out West this summer to take a course with you all, but with all of this craziness and border closures.... Well there is next year.

Love it! Please keep this content rollin’

Fantastic. Thank you

Great stuff Dusty. I use your advice/training on every ride.

Nice work Dustsy!!

Excellent video, it's all stuff/balancing skills that I've done naturally without training (largely coming from mountain biking background). But this video articulates it perfectly, I've always not been able to explain the way to position to newbies because I just did it without thought. This is great information, I'll be sure to pass this video to people when they ask👍🏻 New guy on the videos seems to be very knowledgeable, and can convey it well🤙🏻

Another great video Brother!

Ty for these great videos

Awesome explanation, thank you!!

Very clear and simple instructions 👌

Excellent video. Couldn’t be clarified any better. Much appreciated!!!

Very well done and informative for a nine minute video. Thanks!

Amazing! I'm so glad that I found you guys! I'm understand that my skills are only in the beginning of this long way to ride good. It's only my first season and I want to go out from asphalt :) But I'm not sure what things I have to learn first to feel comfortable off-road. It's so many things to learn... Thanks for your video! Sadly I'm in Europe. I would love to go to real class to learn from you.

Great stuff, practiced the shit out of it today on an AT, this vid and your one on Ride fast and safe around corners, REALLY HELPED my confidence and and Cranked up the sheer Enjoyment of it all. Thanks man, I appreciate the technical wisdom

The work on the suspensions @ 5:00 is mesmerizing

Excellent advice on your channel. I have ridden in the Himalayas and all the advice on this video and the others on your channel are spot on!

Dusty......you’re still a video star.....not a radio star! 😆 👍🏽 You Badass!

So good

Great advice. I’m learning and find your content excellent. Thanks for sharing this with us all. #technmoto

nice thanks bro 👍

great video，learn a lot

Great information....would it be possible to make a video on body position in the event that you take a small jump and find yourself in the air? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Sir. Goa, India.

Excellent. That area looks so familiar. Up between Flagstaff and the GC I guess?

Awesome video!

So good! Thanks bro.

Thanks 🙏

Perfect, thanks a lot for that lesson Dusty 😍! We like your Vids✌🏼 Greetings from Germany!

멋진 정보 감사 합니다^^

also miss brett video but let me tell you that your video are just as good!!!! continu to create great content!. best adv bike channel on youtube!

Glad you don’t mind risers. As Brett made a video saying not to put them on! 🤔

Nice👍

thank you for the instructions , will practice and put them to work , question pros and cons of handle bar risers verse lowering foot pegs to accomplish good body position ,

Somehow, unknowingly, I learnt this on my own on a bicycle. But on a motorbike, off road - yet to explore.

Thanks you so much

Man the camera work is the best on Mototrek videos

Good content 👌🏻my friend 🌹

I was on Motojitsu live chat and he is a super knowledgeable guy but these videos are solid. I researched a lot and bought a 850 gs for my first bike and the safety features are solid. I ask the question “is the 850 gs a good beginner bike and he just responds, “obviously not” is their this line in the sand between street riders and adventure riders?! That answer makes me nervous I feel confident I can master my bike.

This is EXACTLY the video I've been looking for! Thank you for this! Is this all still solid advice for all terrain?

Great video, Dusty. Please share what pants and boots you have there!!!

This video has helped me. Thank you. I do have a question that is not related to this video, though. What pants are you wearing in this video? Thanks!
