Don’t shame the dealership for not selling to Jocelin, but rather the legal system that would allow her to sue them if if any harm came to her because they sold such a large bike to someone her size.
@@michaelp9759 I would say that was on the dealership and not about liability. If they genuinely laughed without letting her make the case as to her riding experience then it was presumptive and discriminatory. Obviously without knowing the actual details it can’t really be said, but if it’s true then she likely has more of a civil case than they would if she were hurt riding.
Some of your videos have made me cry, and this one was no exception. I lost my 21-year old son in 2018 when he lost his battle with depression. Learning to ride a motorcycle in 2020 at age 55 literally saved my life after my son passed. I have had to overcome so much fear and put in so much work this last year and a half to go from riding a little Honda 250 to a behemoth bagger. You have inspired me from the beginning because of videos like these. You humbly show your willingness to push past fear, to keep getting up when knocked down and to never give up...this has helped me so much and inspires me more than you could ever know! Thank you, Carolyn, from the bottom of my ♥️
That makes two of us… reading this comment made me cry… I am so sorry you for your loss… am so proud of you for being a light since then when I’m sure it wasn’t easy. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you back
Hello from Canada. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so incredibly sorry. I suffer from depression too, and what you did to help deal with your own grief is so inspiring to me. Thank you for showing me and others another way out from under sometimes crushing, self defeating, fear. Sincerely yours, Andre EDITED for typo
I'm sorry for your loss Amy V, may your son rest in peace. It's good to read that video's like these help you in some sort of way. I barely watch Doodle, but apparently she makes a lot of impact and that's just awesome. Take care everyone.
Unless you have tried this yourself, you have no idea how difficult riding off-road can be. Great job and don’t stop surprising us with you’re determination.!
I agree 20 years ago I rode my first dirt bike and it was really hard to ride it at first but after awhile I got used to it I was doing stuff that my little nephews were doing going over jumps and trail riding and going over tough terrain
You two are amazing. I have never felt so absolutely inadequate as a rider before. To see what someone a foot shorter than me can do on a bike bigger than mine is humbling. Hats off to you both for the hard work you put in.
This is so inspiring! My wife is 4'9" and I am now looking forward to teaching her. I told her that "you riding on a motorcycle is 90% will and 10% skill" she's looking forward to getting her first bike and I'm looking forward to falling and failing gracefully with her so that we can learn more. You're an inspiration along with Jocelin. Please keep up the great work.
100 points for going to the absolute expert (and sexiest) ADV rider in the world for advice! Motorcycle riders come in all sizes and everything Jocelin ever said about riding is relevant for all of us. Her positive outlook on life, and that smile and laugh, are contagious. Not everything street translates to dirt, but EVERYTHING dirt translates to street. And everything Jocelin translates to life. Someone else you should meet is Megan Griffiths aka Megs Braap.

I never thought I am short to ride a bike but then just 40 days back I bought ktm adv 390 and I was standing on my toes to reach safe ground ! I was a bit worried about my choice of bike as I was not so confident as I never been on a tall bike before n also had an accident just few days after purchasing this bike not on the new bike, ended with fractured right wrist , left palm soft tissues scrapped away, right ankle soft tissues scrapped away n a very painful recovery for weeks, after 40 days healing of wrist fracture I have started driving the ktm adv 390 but a little fear was in my mind especially after had the horrific accident ! But, now, after seeing your video I have overcome the fear, confident to drive the bike in comfort ! I am 48 years and had been a biker since age 16 ! Thanks 🙏👏
Jocelin has been an inspiration to many of us mini-sized riders. As I've said many times before there was youtube or the internet, I had learn all the techniques Jocelin teaches by trial and error... which means I dropped my first bike A LOT... Great job Doodle... 👍🏼
Indeed , no fear of dropping the bike is a big thing. Miss Snow practices like a cirque du Soleil artist. Just over and over again . For us to be inspired by. Beautiful backyard. Such is impossible in Europe nowadays. Noise pollution , neighbours , insurance , government approved training area , .... But I hope salesman in Europe are friendlier compared to the one that wouldn't sell her the gs. ( Maybe the seller had a low-confidence complex about something small shaped himself)

Jocelin had years of riding taller bikes prior to her getting a GS but I bet the Salesman didn't even know that.

Ms. Doodle, I've been a Honda Goldwing rider for over 10 years, and that was my 13th bike since 1972. On June 27, 2024, I suffered a major stroke the emergency room said,, "I had no stroke." of course, it left me blind in my left eye, so I had to sell my 1985 Goldwing to one of my clients (who actually did it to help me as I had helped his family for many years) and I have not been able to work or drive anymore, I depend on my wife now. I've practically eliminated all my bike video subscriptions except yours and your teacher in Florida. So these videos are really great and allow me to adjust to my new situations. Thanks for the excellent videos. Julian from San Francisco, CA.
Most surprising, isn’t that your skill on a motorcycle has improved… but what an increased level of confidence you have. So much so, that it can even be heard in your voice. I am learning from you, much more than motorcycling knowledge.
I have been riding for over 50 years; consider myself a competent rider. This was impressive. With a relatively short inseam, there are some bikes I wouldn’t choose. You showed the shining example of “where there’s a will, there’s a way” in this video. Much respect!
Loved the video! Made me smile and laugh. Girls ROCK! This 57 yr old Mom wants to ride w/her 21 yr old son! It's been awhile, still have a lot to learn, but I'm ready to get back on a bike. Can't wait to buy an ADV motorcycle! Girls, you're my inspiration! I'm learning a lot from your vid's.
I'm a fairly big dude on a 1200GS Adventure. Taking that thing on technical dirt with my wife riding pillion, with full luggage, is downright scary. This is where the content of this video is both inspiring and informative to me. That bit with the butterflies or chicks was brilliant. Stay loose. I struggle to stand on dirt, but I'll get there. Go girl-power!
This is one of the best and most inspiring video I have seen in a long time. I'm 5"1 and I recently bought a triumph street triple 675 and I have struggled with the whole height thing and have dealers tell me there is no hope for me on bike but boy am I now proving them wrong. Keep doing what your doing, you are an inspiration 👏
You are an inspiration for motorcycle riders, but also for everyone. Your life skills of never giving up and having a positive attitude impacts everyone priviliged to had either met you or watch thru your videos. Thank you for inspiring me to be a better rider and also a better human being. 🙏
Amazing video!thanks so much for the upload and the effort of making it! This is really inspiring!I’m a short male rider of 5’5” and am just starting out on baby 310 GS! Some days on the dirt can be somewhat challenging and overwhelming, but this video has given me even more confidence to not give up and just keep on practicing. And thanks for sharing Jocelin Snow with us. I’m sure I’m going to learn LOADS on both your channels
I'm 6'2" and I'm in awe of super short riders like Jocelin Snow and Megs Braap who can handle bikes 50 times better than I can. It's amazing what practice and persistence can do.
The video I've been waiting for! Amazing job Doodle, you killed it! I had a huge smile on my face the entire video. Our biggest limitation is ourselves and you've shown the most important person that you have no limitations, yourself. Congratulations on facing a huge challenge and conquering it.
Ahh! That's so cool!! Great job and congrats! You went from a lowered street bike to a giant ADV bike in the time I've been watching you. What a fantastic accomplishment. Really was smiling this whole video. It's inspiring to see someone transition in such a big way. Good on you for never giving up, and never letting people influence you away from something you love.
I'm so impressed with all the training you are going through. You are doing an excellent job and it seems Jocelin was the perfect trainer for you. Keep up the good work.
I'm 50 and been riding for 15 years and I love this video, especially the ending as you both complete the dirt bowl and she hi-5's you. Now I'm the hugest fan of Jocelin (and her team)!!
Great job Doodle and Jocelin. This video was awesome to watch. I am a retired Motorman and love to see people pushing the envelope to be the best riders they can be. Keep it up! P.S. I, too, would have picked the baby chicks.
I remember watching some of your early videos where you struggled with road riding on a small bike and lacking self belief. To see the things you do now and how you challenge yourself, I have nothing but admiration for you.
Hi Doodle, your video was a great watch! The obstacles were insane, mostly mind over matter and Jocelin clearly shows that stature doesn't play a part, It's technique! Picking up the GS looked so difficult and requires real strength from your legs and the ground was very loose! You did really well and I see a champion in the making!
Seeing how much you've learned and progressed since I started watching your channel is so motivating! I have a 34" inseam and my big GS still intimidates me even after 100k+ miles on sport tourers over the years. You're constantly reminding me that determination and proper education can help bring more fun and safety on two wheels. You and Jocelin add so much value to the motorcycle world!
Jocelin Snow, in my opinion, is the best in the world when it comes to this. So glad you were able to spend a few days with her and show yourself that there is nothing to doubt, just learn how to do it. Awesome job. Was a pleasure to watch.
Wow Doodle!!!! Your videos are at another level this year! The production and storytelling are soooo GOOD!!! Also, you're becoming such a good rider! Very inspiring! You should be proud!!
It's truly amazing how many adventures you have had and will have since you decided that you wanted to ride motorcycles! Awesome job Carolyn! Keep having fun. Take care.
I’ve been watching Jocelyn’s videos for years and she does the work! Like how she collected leftover logs from the County ha. Solid skills and so impressive. Awesome you did this collaboration!
This makes me think I need alot more practice. Watching you ladies inspires me. I'm average height middle aged man on an above average size bike. There's so much I can learn from watching you two. Thanks for the push to better learn the craft .
Doodle, this was awesome to watch. Your editing and story telling skills seem so natural. Your pursuit of two wheel skills is inspiring and it’s so fun to tag along on these adventures with you. Keep it up! 🙌
2 days into finding your channel and I've shared your channel with my wife with great enthusiasm. My daughter (6 yr) and I have been watching all evening. Great work. I can't wait to teach my girl to ride.
This was the one I've been waiting for. Two of my most respected riders working together in one video. It looked like you two had a lot of fun in between your terror. Well done both the riding and the content.
Jocelin has always been my inspiration to go for the adventure segment bike as I was sceptical about my height. I am not short as she is nor I ride the motorcycle as big as hers but adventure bikes are intmidating and seeing Jocelin on those obstacles helped a great way to overcome my fear. Kudos to you for learning[ from an absolute legend.
Love the encouragement. A true adept has no problem sharing their knowledge and experience. We’re all on this planet to learn & share. Absolute quality from all involved.
Excellent work Doodle, Jocelin and team! My daughter will be able to get her 'L' plates this year. She has done some junior Flat track and bush trails, but been off the bike for a couple of years. This will be a bit of motivation that with practice, she will be fine. Cannot wait to do some dad and daughter adventure riding! Angry Pete
Others may have done it too, but I remember suggesting you check her out! Possibly 2 years ago. I’m a smidge over 6ft with a new (to me) GS Adventure and I’ve already dropped it twice in the last month! You guys are great! Technique is everything!
One year later... I bought my own adventure bike, and rode across America to train again with Jocelin on my OWN bike. So of course, she had me go on the even CRAZIER obstacles - check it out here! ruclips.net/video/4o06dEL1gwQ/видео.html
Please inform us about the price of the training at your facility and how long it takes to train on driving an Africa Twin, as I am experiencing a problem with height.
Owning that mission!! Go get em. Serious question, why did the build these bikes so big and top heavy?? There has to be a reason. I’ve heard they are difficult to ride even for seasoned veterans, and the learning curve is steep.. CONGRATS!!!!
Fantastic video. I'm 5'3" and have been limiting myself to cruisers with low seat heights. This video has given me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone.
You definitely picked on of the best to learn from. I like how you are using your format to inspire and push other people to get better. At 53 with over 200,000 miles I still try to go to a class every year. You are never to old to learn and get better. Keep up the good work. You should try to make it to the 2022 BMW MOA Rally. You will be amazing at how fun it is to meet so many like minded people.
I can't believe I somehow missed this when it first came out. Snow's course and instruction are nothing short of amazing. As a fit 6'1 man I'd pay hundreds for a couple of sessions with her and that track. Absolutely love how Doodle's journey has progressed to the point where she's going all of these amazing adventures just because she decided to buy a motorcycle one day.
Save this playlist, it's the tips Jocelin showed me in the video bit.ly/JocelinsBeTheBoss Want to train with Jocelin? Just email her to schedule it! Jocelinx@gmail.com Jocelin shows you how to build your own adventure course so you can do these exercises in your own backyard too! bit.ly/JocelinsChallengeCourse
Doodle you are killing it. I've seen you do some challenging stuff before but now you seem to be reaching levels that few riders will ever get to. I love that you keep finding ways to improve your skills and your can do attitude about all of it. I'm a bit jealous and very happy for you at the same time.
Between watching you and Jess ("Her Two Wheels") at these Adventure courses, I have taken the first step at overcoming the mental reservations that have built up the last two years. COVID in 2020 and cancer in 2021, I have let my riding skills on the street get weak. I have a BMW R1250GS (low Chassis) and an HD Pan American Special. I signed up this week for the two-day off road adventure course at the BMW MotoRad school in South Carolina. I will use their bike, and asked for the R1250GS regular chassis. This will FORCE me to use skills that I need to have. I have always told my sons (who are in their early 30's) to never judge your teacher by their age, but by their motivation. You and Jess have motivated me to take the BMW course. Thank you!
Your amazing! You have proved that anyone can ride a big bike! Especially a ADV MC. I am going to show this to my GF to show her how practice,breathing,and a great attitude can make ride anything. It is great seeing you do what you do. Pretty awesome of the stuff they teach and what you are accomplishing. Keep it up! Love the videos.
The first time I watched her ride I cried. I am a huge believer in challenging yourself Always! She is such an inspiration to me! Thank you Doodle for this video and for sharing your experience with her. It is so Amazing how we an all as a motorcycle group grow and teach and inspire one another! ❤❤❤
I love this. I grew up riding dirt bikes but I won't lie... these big adventures are a little crazy. Good for you, Doodle, and for anybody else wanting to conquer this fear I say go for it.
I love when a someone tells a woman she can't do something and she not only does it... but does it better than anyone. You guys are the best love this❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for the video, funny and informative. When I first started riding my Honda Transalp 650, I had much fun training/ playing off-road. Like doing brake exercises at a sandy construction road, a gravel road, and off-road on grass, both wet and dry. Starting out at a low speed with (full) brake force, and increasing the speed, and experiencing the effects on the bike of various braking forces front and back. One of my favorite exercises was to control the bike with one or both brakes locked up, and letting the rear of the bike 'sliding out' a little. All those hours training and playing, off-road has kept me safe and in control, throughout the years on the road.
Absolutely loved every minute of that video, now I got to get my 5ft 1 wife to watch and inspire her to get her first bike, it took me 10yrs to get her on the back of mine, and she loves it, I really hope she says come on hubby let's do this! Thank you for this video, once again I throughly enjoyed it, definitely want to see more!
wonderful. I'm 1.9 metres tall and ride a GS because I can't really ride small motorbikes. But I love it when I see small women riding a big GS. It just looks fantastic. Also, I like your attitude of not listening to the negative recommendations of others. Super! A big compliment. If you ever ride through Germany, get in touch.
Best video ever to boost trust and self confidence...in your(my)self..........about big bikes. I'm a new rider and my very first choice for a bike was a trial one. And abviously, I had to realise that this was not going to be as easy as with the roadster version of my motocycle school. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
As a small guy almost exactly your height, this gives me tremendous hope and courage. I'll share it with my friend who is also my height and loves bikes. You're awesome
Doodle this is amazing and inspiring 😭 I just got a Vstrom 650 that's a little too tall for me and already dropped it at a standstill. Little bad habits that I get away with on my supersport are becoming obvious. I love the bike and am determined to get confident on it. So good to see other women doing the same and achieving that goal, helping me see what is possible!!! Thank you!
Loved this, what a cool lady. I'm 5' 5" with a 29" inseam and have never been able to flat foot anything. Seeing her schooch from side to side with one foot down is all I've ever known. One thing about the GSA, once you are rolling at any speed the weight disappears as was demonstrated in this video. I've dropped mine in the forest plenty of times and having those wide crash bars down low really put the bike at an angle that is much easier to lift than most other adventure machines. Thanks for posting.
You got the skill to pay the bills!!! Awesome! It warms my heart knowing us shorter riders can do all and ride all. It just takes some work to get there!
Thanks for all your videos Doodle (coincidentally my partner's nickname). I am just under 5'2 , 115lbs and can totally relate to the challenges you talk about. My current fleet (Harley Heritage, Triumph Speed Triple, & two Suzuki DR650s) all require slightly different riding techniques, but as you say "keep a positive attitude and have fun". I've been riding for almost 50 years, raced pretty much everything from 250GP to superbikes and even sidecars, but now finding more fun than ever riding my trusty old DR on dirt roads & trails (plenty of them here in Australia). Still learning stuff from your vids. Thanks heaps.
I m from India. Wish someday I can meet you girls and take an autograph. You are the real heros for all women out there. I will show this video to my little daughter. She is just 8. Nothing is impossible, you girls proved it. God bless.
I love Yamaha Ténéré 700 and I'm 5 foot 8. I had quit on the idea of buying an ADV and was thinking of sticking with low seat cruises. After I saw this video, the desire to buy the Yamaha T7 has been lit again. Thank you.
I absolutely love it. I saw one of those bikes the other day and thought...no way. Now I'm looking forward to riding one. Thanks ladies and continued good work.
I love seeing this! You are truly an inspiration to motorcycle riders everywhere. After watching your journey I will never say “I can’t” ever again! Thanks for all of the amazing content.
This was awesome. Really loved the inspiration of the story. These are big bikes. Even for a 6' tall person. When I first got mine a few weeks ago it got away from me . Embarrassing but real and reminded me how key it is to know and understand your bike. No matter how long you have ridden.

Sand and gravel are hard enough on a sub-500 cc adventure bike. On a massive GS, that's some intimidating riding.
I found it just to my liking. Bought adventure 1100ccm as my first bike, but i was a natural, i won´t recomend it for all... I love it
I’m 6’4 250 and I’m nervous about riding a gs1200 due to its size and weight. Mad respect to you and Jocelyn for learning to ride such machines.
You two are amazing. I have never felt so absolutely inadequate as a rider before. To see what someone a foot shorter than me can do on a bike bigger than mine is humbling. Hats off to you both for the hard work you put in.

I'm 6'2" and I'm in awe of super short riders like Jocelin Snow and Megs Braap who can handle bikes 50 times better than I can. It's amazing what practice and persistence can do.
The video I've been waiting for! Amazing job Doodle, you killed it! I had a huge smile on my face the entire video. Our biggest limitation is ourselves and you've shown the most important person that you have no limitations, yourself. Congratulations on facing a huge challenge and conquering it.
Probably one of your best videos. Admitting to shortcomings just ads to your credibility. Good job. Keep reminding us to always want to improve.
Ahh! That's so cool!! Great job and congrats! You went from a lowered street bike to a giant ADV bike in the time I've been watching you. What a fantastic accomplishment. Really was smiling this whole video. It's inspiring to see someone transition in such a big way. Good on you for never giving up, and never letting people influence you away from something you love.
Everything is possible when you have the right teacher!!!!Great work and the idea with the yellow baby chick was awesome and cute at the same time!!😊
I'm so impressed with all the training you are going through. You are doing an excellent job and it seems Jocelin was the perfect trainer for you. Keep up the good work.
I'm 50 and been riding for 15 years and I love this video, especially the ending as you both complete the dirt bowl and she hi-5's you. Now I'm the hugest fan of Jocelin (and her team)!!
Great job Doodle and Jocelin. This video was awesome to watch. I am a retired Motorman and love to see people pushing the envelope to be the best riders they can be. Keep it up! P.S. I, too, would have picked the baby chicks.
I remember watching some of your early videos where you struggled with road riding on a small bike and lacking self belief. To see the things you do now and how you challenge yourself, I have nothing but admiration for you.
🥲❤️
Hi Doodle, your video was a great watch! The obstacles were insane, mostly mind over matter and Jocelin clearly shows that stature doesn't play a part, It's technique! Picking up the GS looked so difficult and requires real strength from your legs and the ground was very loose! You did really well and I see a champion in the making!
That was your best vid by far in my opinion. I am so in love with both of your enthusiasm. Well done
Seeing how much you've learned and progressed since I started watching your channel is so motivating! I have a 34" inseam and my big GS still intimidates me even after 100k+ miles on sport tourers over the years. You're constantly reminding me that determination and proper education can help bring more fun and safety on two wheels. You and Jocelin add so much value to the motorcycle world!
Jocelin Snow, in my opinion, is the best in the world when it comes to this. So glad you were able to spend a few days with her and show yourself that there is nothing to doubt, just learn how to do it. Awesome job. Was a pleasure to watch.
Wow Doodle!!!! Your videos are at another level this year! The production and storytelling are soooo GOOD!!! Also, you're becoming such a good rider! Very inspiring! You should be proud!!
Ahh thank you I’m tryin’!!
Go Doodle GO!!!!! Amazing video!! Jocelin was amazing and you showed what you're capable of!!! Go for it!!!
It's truly amazing how many adventures you have had and will have since you decided that you wanted to ride motorcycles! Awesome job Carolyn! Keep having fun. Take care.
I’ve been watching Jocelyn’s videos for years and she does the work! Like how she collected leftover logs from the County ha. Solid skills and so impressive. Awesome you did this collaboration!
You and Jocelin have been such an inspiration for me. Thank you so so so so so much for sharing!!!🙏🏻 Keep kicking ass girl🤙🏻
This makes me think I need alot more practice. Watching you ladies inspires me. I'm average height middle aged man on an above average size bike. There's so much I can learn from watching you two. Thanks for the push to better learn the craft .
Doodle, this was awesome to watch. Your editing and story telling skills seem so natural. Your pursuit of two wheel skills is inspiring and it’s so fun to tag along on these adventures with you. Keep it up! 🙌
2 days into finding your channel and I've shared your channel with my wife with great enthusiasm. My daughter (6 yr) and I have been watching all evening. Great work. I can't wait to teach my girl to ride.
Omg ❤️❤️
This was the one I've been waiting for. Two of my most respected riders working together in one video. It looked like you two had a lot of fun in between your terror. Well done both the riding and the content.
One of your best videos Doodle. Awesome substance in your stuff. Keep ‘‘em coming.
Jocelin has always been my inspiration to go for the adventure segment bike as I was sceptical about my height. I am not short as she is nor I ride the motorcycle as big as hers but adventure bikes are intmidating and seeing Jocelin on those obstacles helped a great way to overcome my fear. Kudos to you for learning[ from an absolute legend.
Love the encouragement. A true adept has no problem sharing their knowledge and experience. We’re all on this planet to learn & share. Absolute quality from all involved.
Excellent work Doodle, Jocelin and team! My daughter will be able to get her 'L' plates this year. She has done some junior Flat track and bush trails, but been off the bike for a couple of years. This will be a bit of motivation that with practice, she will be fine. Cannot wait to do some dad and daughter adventure riding!
Angry Pete
Others may have done it too, but I remember suggesting you check her out! Possibly 2 years ago. I’m a smidge over 6ft with a new (to me) GS Adventure and I’ve already dropped it twice in the last month! You guys are great! Technique is everything!
Congratulations you've come a long way the past few years. Your dedication and determination is paying off big. 👍👍😎
Your video put a perpetual, goofy smile on my face. I’ve gotta show it to my wife. She feels like she can’t ride, but (as you’ve proved) she can!
She is a top notch trainer.
One year later... I bought my own adventure bike, and rode across America to train again with Jocelin on my OWN bike. So of course, she had me go on the even CRAZIER obstacles - check it out here! ruclips.net/video/4o06dEL1gwQ/видео.html
"I want the contact information for this trainer. Thank you."
Please inform us about the price of the training at your facility and how long it takes to train on driving an Africa Twin, as I am experiencing a problem with height.
Owning that mission!! Go get em.
Serious question, why did the build these bikes so big and top heavy?? There has to be a reason. I’ve heard they are difficult to ride even for seasoned veterans, and the learning curve is steep.. CONGRATS!!!!
@@johngrabowski2957 you dont need them, its marketing mostly, the my thing is better than etc.
Fantastic video. I'm 5'3" and have been limiting myself to cruisers with low seat heights. This video has given me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone.
What about riding in bumper to bumper traffic in India? For short riders that's the most difficult thing I feel
Friction zone and slow speed skills!! Jerry Palladino and Moto Jitsu have a lot of videos on that
Sir yh fake feminist ka kida hota inke andar , practical way se nhi sochti
You definitely picked on of the best to learn from. I like how you are using your format to inspire and push other people to get better. At 53 with over 200,000 miles I still try to go to a class every year. You are never to old to learn and get better. Keep up the good work. You should try to make it to the 2022 BMW MOA Rally. You will be amazing at how fun it is to meet so many like minded people.
I can't believe I somehow missed this when it first came out. Snow's course and instruction are nothing short of amazing. As a fit 6'1 man I'd pay hundreds for a couple of sessions with her and that track. Absolutely love how Doodle's journey has progressed to the point where she's going all of these amazing adventures just because she decided to buy a motorcycle one day.
Amazing inspirational video. Doodle, I'm 61 and sometimes wonder if I'm physically past the 1250 GSA. Today I learnt that I'm not. Thanks!
100% this was one of the best Doodle training arcs yet! That seems like such an amazing course to train/practice on
Save this playlist, it's the tips Jocelin showed me in the video bit.ly/JocelinsBeTheBoss
Want to train with Jocelin? Just email her to schedule it! Jocelinx@gmail.com
Jocelin shows you how to build your own adventure course so you can do these exercises in your own backyard too! bit.ly/JocelinsChallengeCourse
Doodle you are killing it. I've seen you do some challenging stuff before but now you seem to be reaching levels that few riders will ever get to.
I love that you keep finding ways to improve your skills and your can do attitude about all of it. I'm a bit jealous and very happy for you at the same time.
Between watching you and Jess ("Her Two Wheels") at these Adventure courses, I have taken the first step at overcoming the mental reservations that have built up the last two years. COVID in 2020 and cancer in 2021, I have let my riding skills on the street get weak. I have a BMW R1250GS (low Chassis) and an HD Pan American Special. I signed up this week for the two-day off road adventure course at the BMW MotoRad school in South Carolina. I will use their bike, and asked for the R1250GS regular chassis. This will FORCE me to use skills that I need to have.
I have always told my sons (who are in their early 30's) to never judge your teacher by their age, but by their motivation. You and Jess have motivated me to take the BMW course. Thank you!
Si excited for you 😋❤️
Your amazing! You have proved that anyone can ride a big bike! Especially a ADV MC. I am going to show this to my GF to show her how practice,breathing,and a great attitude can make ride anything.
It is great seeing you do what you do.
Pretty awesome of the stuff they teach and what you are accomplishing. Keep it up! Love the videos.
I just LOVE Jocelin's excitement when you accomplish a challenge! What an amazing, fun, supportive instructor! Way to go Doodle! ❤
The first time I watched her ride I cried. I am a huge believer in challenging yourself Always! She is such an inspiration to me! Thank you Doodle for this video and for sharing your experience with her. It is so Amazing how we an all as a motorcycle group grow and teach and inspire one another! ❤❤❤
I love this. I grew up riding dirt bikes but I won't lie... these big adventures are a little crazy. Good for you, Doodle, and for anybody else wanting to conquer this fear I say go for it.
Both of y’all are amazing, but extra kudos to the instructor, she always had excellent advise on building specific skills on specific obstacles.
very inspiring as a 5'4 woman in beginning motorcycle journey
Baby chicks was the best advice for (almost) every riding situation ! Relax your arms and hands - even when riding a sportbike.
what are the scenarios when it's not?
@@kriskale I can't think of any. I typed "almost" just in case someone might come up with a good reason to be rough with the handlebars ☺️
I love when a someone tells a woman she can't do something and she not only does it... but does it better than anyone. You guys are the best love this❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Great Job, Doodle! Riding ADV bikes opens up so much more riding.
Thanks for the video, funny and informative.
When I first started riding my Honda Transalp 650, I had much fun training/ playing off-road. Like doing brake exercises at a sandy construction road, a gravel road, and off-road on grass, both wet and dry.
Starting out at a low speed with (full) brake force, and increasing the speed, and experiencing the effects on the bike of various braking forces front and back. One of my favorite exercises was to control the bike with one or both brakes locked up, and letting the rear of the bike 'sliding out' a little.
All those hours training and playing, off-road has kept me safe and in control, throughout the years on the road.
Absolutely loved every minute of that video, now I got to get my 5ft 1 wife to watch and inspire her to get her first bike, it took me 10yrs to get her on the back of mine, and she loves it, I really hope she says come on hubby let's do this! Thank you for this video, once again I throughly enjoyed it, definitely want to see more!
You are an inspiration to all bikers big and small, simply by your your keenness to learn new skills. Every day is a school day. 👍
Thanks! That was fun!….one of your best IMO. - Channel is evolving!!
Her training methods are amazing and you are a very good student. I can t wait to get my actual license. thanks for sharing something so positive.
This is the most entertaining moto video I've seen in a long time, really great work Doodle!
wonderful. I'm 1.9 metres tall and ride a GS because I can't really ride small motorbikes. But I love it when I see small women riding a big GS. It just looks fantastic. Also, I like your attitude of not listening to the negative recommendations of others. Super! A big compliment. If you ever ride through Germany, get in touch.
*_Very Cool that Jocelin has it dialed in. I couldn't imagine anyone better to train with._*
Best video ever to boost trust and self confidence...in your(my)self..........about big bikes. I'm a new rider and my very first choice for a bike was a trial one. And abviously, I had to realise that this was not going to be as easy as with the roadster version of my motocycle school. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
As a small guy almost exactly your height, this gives me tremendous hope and courage.
I'll share it with my friend who is also my height and loves bikes.
You're awesome
Doodle this is amazing and inspiring 😭 I just got a Vstrom 650 that's a little too tall for me and already dropped it at a standstill. Little bad habits that I get away with on my supersport are becoming obvious. I love the bike and am determined to get confident on it. So good to see other women doing the same and achieving that goal, helping me see what is possible!!! Thank you!
I love your determination Doodle, each video I watch you get better..Well done.
Just turned 52. I am getting my first adventure bike. You inspire me to go for it! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Loved this, what a cool lady. I'm 5' 5" with a 29" inseam and have never been able to flat foot anything. Seeing her schooch from side to side with one foot down is all I've ever known. One thing about the GSA, once you are rolling at any speed the weight disappears as was demonstrated in this video. I've dropped mine in the forest plenty of times and having those wide crash bars down low really put the bike at an angle that is much easier to lift than most other adventure machines. Thanks for posting.
As a 5’2” rider, this gave me hope and great tips for doing better on my 650gs. Thank you!
Wow Doodle! Amazing what you did with Jocelyn’s help!
You got the skill to pay the bills!!! Awesome! It warms my heart knowing us shorter riders can do all and ride all. It just takes some work to get there!
Another great video, Doodle. A nice, well put-together video about your trials and tribulations handling big machines. All great advice.
Thanks for all your videos Doodle (coincidentally my partner's nickname). I am just under 5'2 , 115lbs and can totally relate to the challenges you talk about. My current fleet (Harley Heritage, Triumph Speed Triple, & two Suzuki DR650s) all require slightly different riding techniques, but as you say "keep a positive attitude and have fun". I've been riding for almost 50 years, raced pretty much everything from 250GP to superbikes and even sidecars, but now finding more fun than ever riding my trusty old DR on dirt roads & trails (plenty of them here in Australia). Still learning stuff from your vids. Thanks heaps.
Jocelin is actually unbelievable, one of the best riders I’ve seen. It looks like she’s on a bicycle.
I m from India. Wish someday I can meet you girls and take an autograph. You are the real heros for all women out there. I will show this video to my little daughter. She is just 8. Nothing is impossible, you girls proved it. God bless.
So happy you finally got into adv bikes. They are so dang fun and open up so much terrain and new adventures.
I love Yamaha Ténéré 700 and I'm 5 foot 8. I had quit on the idea of buying an ADV and was thinking of sticking with low seat cruises. After I saw this video, the desire to buy the Yamaha T7 has been lit again. Thank you.
This is by far your best Video yet! I love watching you learn and succeed at new skills. Keep up the good work!
I absolutely love it. I saw one of those bikes the other day and thought...no way. Now I'm looking forward to riding one. Thanks ladies and continued good work.
I love seeing this! You are truly an inspiration to motorcycle riders everywhere. After watching your journey I will never say “I can’t” ever again! Thanks for all of the amazing content.
Wow, Jocelin Snow is impressive and a inspiration 💪😎
I loved her tip with the babychicks
Met Jocelin once at a course and she made me feel as if I have known her for years, beside her motorcycling skills, she has superb people skills.
Seriouslyyyy
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle yes
This was awesome. Really loved the inspiration of the story. These are big bikes. Even for a 6' tall person. When I first got mine a few weeks ago it got away from me . Embarrassing but real and reminded me how key it is to know and understand your bike. No matter how long you have ridden.
