R4790 all inclusive I.e. accommodation + meals +'unkniwn extras plus the obvious... Mike's skills transfer on hectic sand. If I may have your mobile number I can send the flyer or check out their website.

Last weekend I attended a pleasant training program at Boulders Adventure Academy (abbreviated, BAA). The Academy's main instructor is Mike Grimsted and his mannerism and detail to explaining techniques were impressive (at least for me). Since the last sand riding training weekend for 2023 is...

Subie ek wens jou alle voorspoed toe. Ek sal vroeg September naby die Weskus wees. Wanneer verwag jy om weer "Langebaanerig/Saldanharig" te wees? Ek sal graag wil kom groet.

Ooooops.

I somehow suspect both had wet boots + wet lower legs. Degree of wetness might differ. If the second rider dropped then bigger risk awaits + higher probability of such incident. If first rider dropped then perhaps, lesser risk awaits + lesser probability of such incident. So I think....... by...

Finally I've got the answer. Good!!!

Weet ons van enige geakkrediteerde navorsingspublikasie(s) oor die inherente gevaar (of gevare) wat 'n neck brace bied? Ek het nog net van leke opinies gehoor (ervare en behendige ryers ingesluit). Dr Chris Leatt het na wete baie deeglike navorsing gedoen. Ek het 'n oortuigende argument gehoor...

The Youtube video above offers good advice when the terrain offers patchy patchy slippery spots. However, 30+ metres of muddy road cannot be "rolled through". He is clearly a highly skilled rider so I find it difficult to distinguish when superior skill (overall) & "baddish" technique...

My 2 cents are that for safety of feet, ankles and higher up nothing beats MX boots. But for me and my recent Gaerne choice I a still adapting much much. I have some difficulty with changing my gears smoothly & with certainly (strangely, escpecially 3rd gear.... dammmm on all three my bikes). I...

Welcome Lance and enjoy your initial two-up riding. Besides upping your riding skills in general, use the time to "define" your riding style as well as your preferred routes/terrain preferences. Once that is sorted you can meaningfully decide on the second bike.

So was "legging" part of getting through??

Yes please..... on a bike on slippery mud track. Do not generalize to just "a slippery track" hahaha

I enjoy the comments thus far. Hoping to get more. It seems that for most terrain types, the more you practice the better yout get. But for mud it seems to reflect what Gary Player said i.e. 'the more I practice the luckier I get.' Perhaps succeeding at a mud challenge is more luck than skill...

My buddy wat tweede deur is ( na my downer en optellery met my goeie "Frans") het 'n AT 1100 Adventure gery. Met sy vooraf kennis van my drop het hy bly sit, bene wat effens hang en op die regte oomblik met sy regtervoet gedab en whalla, netjies die "stamprant' (walletjie) uit. Soos in, beheerd...

Presies wat met my gebeur het. My geheue kon nie die laaste "split-oomblikke: onthou nie, Ek was dalk oorgretig met die throttle.

Yesterday I elegantly dropped my AT at the 99% through an awkward "mud-hole". A nasty muddy section developed over a section of a service road next to a railway track. Vehicles (viewed from my direction of approach) tracked a side track to my right to loop the mud section. The rightside was...

Hi Adriaan I am taking down my WR450F.

Dammm yes I actually heard the same. I recall/think that a member of Adventure Muppets had such misfortune. Okay so I'll look for a buddy.

I'll be in Cape Metro (northern suburbs) from 2-12 September. I want to do sand track riding with the aim of practicing sand riding. Capetonians who know the sand routes along the West Coast, outskirts of Durbanville, Joostenbergvlakte, Muizenberg and alike 'gently bark' your advice.

Hi Matthew, Kokkie this side. Matthew if you wish a CRF450L and that's it then ja, that's it. If you are open to an alternative I can show you what I've done to to a Yamaha WR450F to get a 'mean' light weight adventure bike. Very capable to go long distance as well. 'Bark' at me on 064 654 7285...
