Mototrek plus Fortnine? It's KZfaq motorcycling gold!!

Glad to see RyanF9 in your video.

Ahaaa... professor Ryan Surprise!

Was barreling down a dirt road the other day and came up on 8"+ deep loose sand heavy rutted by heavy equipment doing 50++kmph. Sure glad I had watched this video a few times, and even happier I remembered everything you said. The road was like this for over 2km so I ran it out. I must admit I was very proud of myself and thankful for the channel.

Two masters in one video . That was awesome breakfast of knowledge . Thnx love from India

Nice collaboration with F9! I always have a smile on my face through sand until I have sand in my teeth.

I love it! My two favorite Moto vloggers in one video!

HOLY SHIT IT'S F9

What I learned from this video: Hold on loosely, don't let go. If you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control. That kind of sounds like a song....eh, nevermind, it won't sell.

Great to see Brett and Ryan collaborating on this one. Nice juxtaposition of presentation styles.

Cool to see this explained what I learned through trial and error in Mongolia. One can only wipe out so many times before going "screw it I'm hitting it fast on the next patch". Did it on the next section of super soft, 95kmh or so, held my breath, flew through it. Life was never the same after that, what a rush. Having that "fuck it" moment helps a lot I reckon to put aside that fear you mentioned.

The two best motorcycling guys on the internet. I think I had a bikegasm...great tips debunking the bullshit out there. An excellent technical description of why the bike self corrects. Thankyou!

What a surprise! The two greatests moto-story-tecnique-tellers together! Great video! As always.

good tips. i'd also like to add more sag to the rear shock if its an adjustable unit. decrease air pressure a bit too. Also, the BMW GS is a bad example for Ryans explanation, which btw, is absolutely spot on. The question to ask is, Why has BMW dumped his telelever for the HP2. My answer for is that the front wheel kinematics was "refusing bumps" for the telelever setup. Technicians will agree that a wheel is refusing bumps when the tire patch is accelerating on bumps, but on the contrary with a telescopic fork, the wheel has to decelerate on bumps and therefore is swallowings bumps. This is why Moto-cross bikes have got less vertical fork tubes. BMW's approach with the GS was: "With touring bikes, it's not so bad : just shaking your forearms a bit when accelerating on a bumpy road" .. this is why the HP2 does not have a telelever, nor did any of thier works bikes.

Great to see you and Ryan creating content together! Keep up the great work!

There you go my Favourites in one video Daaaaaam, Way to go and as Bret says always look ahead not down, Also Tim that was a fab execution cheers guys keep rocking

I've been racing MX and off-road for over 40 years and decided I needed a 500LB 1290? It's definitely a new ball game with this beast, especially in tight single track and deep sand. Practice is my friend. These videos are great.

Great advice.

Cheers to the 2 best dudes on motorcycles!

I have to say: yours are among the best instruction videos on the internet. Not flashy, detailed and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Ryan AND Brett. Now that's an adroit combination. More please.

Thanks, Bret and Tim. Nice video for newbie dirt riders like me. Trail braking for nose-up-sand-riding was a new concept for me for sure.

I love it! my 2 favorite you tubers on another great production. Brett-Ryan you dudes are studs

Bret and Ryan are on track to take over the motorcycle internetz! awesome!

Getting an ADV soon and just learning about this channel. I really love the advice, and seeing Ryan here is just the cherry on top :) Big smile on my face.

I went offroad for the first time today on a 99 Honda Varadero XL1000V. I had watched a good number of your vids before today and they really helped me keep the big old bus upright. Its a totally different set of skills from road, so thank you for the informative videos, they made my trip with friends enjoyable rather than disastrous. Many thanks from Australia

I love the fact that I always come back to your videos to get a refresh lesson, as we forget the basics and keep doing the same mistakes when we ride. Also very happy you and Ryan teamed up on this video, you both are my favorite motorcycle KZfaq Channels that I always look forward to watching and learning.

Maybe the best motorcycle instructional video ever. Really great job guys! Thanks!

I am an riding veteran of 30+ years, but an absolute novice in adventure riding. You make it look sooo easy, but I love the videos and am trying to learn. Thanks!

Fortnine & Mototrek together.... awesome guys....keep the collaboration going👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Very informative and comforting. I loved seeing Ryan.

Great video Bret. Excellent explanation of the basic sand riding techniques.

Great info as always, love the moto wisdom gained in experience Great combo with Ryan F9, keep it up All in all, your videos and knowledge are the best in training new and old adventure riders.

Great subject. Fantastic footage. Fun collaboration. Well done and thank you.

I've had so many different kinds of advice over the years, and I had developed a fear. What you said about having the right attitude, and letting the bike go where it wants... I had a *lot* of fun in the sand and I never thought that was possible. Thank you for that.

My two favorite motorcycle channels on KZfaq joining forces? And on a particularly interesting topic I needed help with? This deserves a comment. Here, thank you guys!!

Thanks so much for the info. Something this old guy will have to go out and get used to. Thanks also to Ryan for the input. I learned something today, again!

Awesome content, the conveyance of the technical explanation of rake and its effects in the sand was very well done! Learned something today!

Mototrek and Fortnine are my favourite channels. Great guys and great techniques!

Really nice class. Good to see Ryan in the video! Keep the channel going! You're doing an excellent work! Kudos from Rio!

You and Ryan F9 are in my top three or four all time favorites on You Tube. Hope we see more of you together.

Seems like i am not the only one here loving these two guys on the Tube. Natural match! Please do some more stuff together: You’re like a motorcyling encyclopedia 🤓

Truly the most wondedfull knowledge on riding motorcycles. What I learned is to take it easy and the bike will be in yiur control. You get tense, the bike will feel it and fight you back.

Love seeing our Spokane, Washington ORV park put to the test! A great place to practice just about every type of terrain...sand included!

Great information, I am always learning on this channel. Love that you had Ryan on. You two are my favourite KZfaq creators by far.

Great information. I’ve been told over and over again. Gas it hold on. Not anymore. Good job and thanks to the both of you. KLR Jim

Great to see a collaboration for the betterment of motorcycle rider knowledge and skill. Bravo

Awesome video! Thanks for creating it! 👏👏👏👏

W0w, nice tutorial! Best I've ever seen. Keep up the good work. Now I want to find some sand!

Thanks for this great sharing of knowledge Brett and RFN! Really appreciate the work y'all do.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I always enjoy your attitude but facing your challenges on the trail

Mototrek and FortNine, my two favorite moto channels combined! Great work gents!! Yeah, I be scared of sand. This helps, but I will be seeking direct pro instruction soon, and practicing.

Amazing video and a great surprise! Thanks, guys!

This was my first time seeing the channel. Excellent production quality and I learned a thing or two as well. Subscribed.

just watched this div over again and got amazed second time:) great job!

Awesome to see Ryan on here, great team you two would make. Thanks

That was a good lesson and the first alternative I have seen to opening the taps.. Thank you

I have doing much of these things instinctively but it was great to hear these things being pointed out. Very useful

My favorite skills guy and my favorite review guy in the same video! Thanks!

two of the best, Mototrek and FortNine, thanks for teaming up.

fortNine for the win

Good explanation guys. Just learned these things after my latest motocamping trip with a lot of sandy dirt road. Gained a lot of experience from that trip. Good vid.

Great video, thanks to you both!!

Two of my favorite motorcycle youtubers in one video... Shweet! Nice video!

your lessons keep getting better and more fun. great fortnine guest spot, my other fav channel for adv. now go wheelie in tim horton!

Awesome stuff, just getting into dirty stuff myself, learning heaps! Thanks 😀👍

Thanks for the Videos. I remember the moment I relaxed my grip and said to myself if I wreck I wreck, Well I didn't wreck and found my confidence in the sand patches that appear on the trails I ride. Haven't tried feathering my rear break yet. I will think about that next time.

Your videos are the Most helpful I‘ve found here so far. 🏍💚👍

This video is one of the best for me ! Great job !

This is the BEST DUO EVER. Awesome video brother. 👏👏👏

Thank you for this video! I had seen it some weeks before. Yesterday I had my first deep sand experience and I reminded your tipps about. And...it works well!!! Your channel is the best!

Yes! Awesome collaboration!

Love to see the collab with Ryan! More please.

The most important thing about sand is learning to read it; then you shift your weight and get ready to flow with the bike. I ride in sand basically constantly here in East Texas. Learn to read when a rut or groove is going to push your front is number one. Second is putting your weight back (almost over you passenger seat; yes, WAY back) in straight lines/gently curves and moving very far forward in corners/berms (think motocross cornering).

Really cool to see you guys hook up. Met Ryan a few times in Montreal. Real stand up guy and fun to ride with.

Big thumbs up for the Ryan cameo

You guys have unleashed the power of the engineer gone adventure rider mind! I really appreciate the explanation of this "phenomena". I have learned on my mountain bike, as I down hill a sketchy spot, to let the bike roll and let it dance in your hands "light hands, light feet". This gives me confidence to trust it. I guess i'm NOT just lucky! guess I should stop playing the lottery after a successful ride! Thanks again. Great tips!

Nice job once again..well done .. well explained

Best explanation of how to ride on sand I've seen so far - Thank you!

Very cool to see Ryan on the video. Both of you guys are great. Cheers!!

Mug of tea, toast and marmalade, whilst watching a great Mototrek video= Perfect breakfast for me. Thanks for the upload.

great video , useful . great collaboration and love those slow mo shoots . GREETINGS FORM SANDY FLORIDA

Bret, I ride an Africa Twin, so I follow you (and the oh-so charming-and-technical Ryan/Fortnine) regularly. I saw a Sporty in your office during your phone cut, and it prompted me to comment. My other car is a "Road King," and while traveling today, coming through a small town, I found myself on a road that was undergoing re-surfacing, and they had scraped the old tarmac off, leaving Ines akin to rain grooves, parallel, but squiggling at Radom departure angles. The grooves were not linear. I found myself using your sand technique by letting the bike self correct, using a light-touch on the bars. What a leap of faith -- the bike, with my large arse on it exceeds 1000 lbs. The epiphany was like a light-bulb over my helmet, and turned "snake-creepy" into, "Wow, I just learned something!" It's fortuitous that your subject, today, was spot-on pertinent to todays experience. Nice to be affirmed by a rider as talented as you. Thank-You, Mike

Simply great content all over the place!

Great videos. I’ve been riding for 52 years and I find that most of the techniques discussed… are the way I already ride… but if I had to explain them or teach them… I couldn’t do it because I don’t really realize what or how I’m doing it… it’s just the way I’ve learned to ride over a life time of… learning to ride. Your delivery is exceptional. I’d love a chance to ride with you.

great as always it was very cool to see ryan in your video!!! nice move!!

Bret, thank you so much for always reminding us of the positive attitude 🙃 Your videos are super helpful 💪

Awesome vid to wake up to.. Thanks B&R!

I used to ride a 1100xx blackbird, but due to soreness in shoulders and back ( ok it’s an age thing )I purchased a Triumph Tiger 1200. Awsome bike and so comfortable. I am getting a lot out of these videos and so much to learn. I wish these guys were out here in Australia. Thanks 😁

Awesome tips. Rode a 300 Honda in the sand for the first time. Frankly my first time off-road…. Did pretty well but was scary! Only dumped it once ;). Can’t wait to ride again! Will remember some of these tips!

Awesome to see both of you on the same video. I’m consistently alternating your videos!

Excellent breakdown. Will save this and share with my buddies

that surprise collaboration just made my day

Nice job, Brett! Very helpful.

Hey bret :) This video was right on time! My deepest fear off road is sand! Even yesterday, on a known trail, they filled a part with sand! The bike automaticly started squirming! I didn't enjou that patch at all! From you video, seems like I have to go back there and practice! Thank you for the videos.

Great video as usual. Wish i would have seen it a couple of weeks ago before I found myself in some deep sand in the middle of nowhere in SW Montana. Had a hell of a time getting through it and probably wouldn't have if it weren't for a couple guys in a truck that were behind me and picked me up several times. Before i watched this, i would've thought it impossible to get through that crap.

Thumbs up for your videos, Big smile from the Netherlands.

These slow-mo's are pieces of art!

Awesome. Did a lot of deep sand last summer in Colorado. Found myself in a spot where the sand went on and on and on and... for hundreds of feet. I knew enough to know I didn't want to stop and I got through it, but it wasn't fun. I didn't hate it, but it definitely wasn't fun. I'll go back there when the snow is gone and practice, practice, practice.
