_________________________
These agility & skills courses/exercises are designed to help develop the fundamental riding skills of clutch, throttle, brake and active balance by the rider.
Precise practice in coordinating these techniques can lead to instinctive/reflexive actions by the rider and allow for more precise control of the motorcycle.
Mastery of these techniques allows the rider to more smoothly transition the bike when cornering as well as being able to react reflexively when encountering unexpected changes in surface traction in off road conditions.
Depending on your skill level, you may want to make the courses larger to feel more comfortable while you develop these skills.
Performing these exercises carries a risk of dropping your motorcycle which may result in damage to you or your motorcycle. Always be sure that your bike has the proper crash guards and that you also wear the appropriate protective gear.

What a great video bro! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Nice tips at all the most frequently Gs Trophy's exercises! Well done😉👌🏻
Glad to hear you like the video. Our goal is show good riding practice that help us all become more confident off-road. Thanks 👍
@@advmotoskillzabsolutely right mate. When everyone rides better, is safest and funniest to all of us. I'm trying to help people in Brazil to get better with some ride tips video as well. Many brazilians don't understand english, so I make some kind of translated video os these theccnics...
@@CasalGSA obrigado brother. I hope you can help out lots of riders there in Brazil.
Ohh... nice portuguese skills! 👏🏻
I hope so there I can help many of them!✊🏻💨
I am 65 year old planning to buy a BMW GS to explore the counties around me. Your video was excellent for a new rider like me. Thank you fro Oman
That is great! The GS is the best bike for exploring the Gulf! Be sure to check out some of our other videos, like how to stand for off road riding.
Best part of this video is now i have one video to go to which captures all the skills challenges i need. Thank you
@@dnbanb That was the main reason for putting this video together 👍🏻 Share the information and help riders improve their skillZ! Thanks for letting us know you liked it🤝🏻
This is the best video ever seen on RUclips to improve Adv skills
I’m glad you like it! A lot of good ideas for training 👍🏻
I’m not a gsa guy anymore, but the same techniques and skills practice I do with my ktm890. Great stuff!!
Glad you liked the video!👍🏻 The 890 is a fun bike for sure.
One of the best I've ever watched, thank you!
Wow, thanks!
I just discovered your channel. As a fairly new GS owner and recently completing the MSF Dirt Riding course, I appreciate the practice and techniques videos on your channel. Great production quality and content. Keep up the good work!
Welcome to the GS family and thanks for subscribing.
It is great that you have taken the MSF course! Keep investing in your Skillz as they pay dividends down the road (and trail!)
......and any adv bike besides Beemer (and there are quite a few nice ones) will do perfectly!
Hi, I really enjoyed watching this, thanks for sharing. I am collecting my first GS next week after 21 years of riding sports and naked bikes. I never dreamed I would want a GS, but after finally riding one I suddenly understood their appeal. I will definitely be practicing some of the drills shown here, thankyou!
Thanks Davvy & Welcome to the world of adventure riding and the GS family!
"21 years of riding experience" 👏 terrific ... you’ll be well on your way in no time!!!
With your level of experience, perhaps getting used will how to balance these bike during slow speed turns (especially in off road conditions) will be important to practice.
No more leaning into corners 😉
These are the exercise that really helped me in that regard ruclips.net/video/3M6sCvORCWw/видео.html
@@advmotoskillz that’s great thanks, I’ll take a look. On the road at least, despite only having ridden a GS for about one hour so far, I was very surprised at how balanced and comfortable it felt at low speed...as well as fast sweeping bends! 🤭
How many people can learn from this experience?
Such a Helpful Channel. This is what all biker Needs 👍🏻
Absolutely Perfect, and it's Makes Safety.... I do appreciate it 🙏
Thank you for Sharing this 🙂👌🏻
Thanks! 👍
Love it. What's a DAB?
Thanks for watching! Take a look at our glossary for a defination of Dab

Great job on your skills, great job on putting together an amazing list of skills to acquire. When I go out to practice off-road skills I always forget what to work on when I get to the training area 🥲😂. This video is perfect for me. Admission- I own an Aprilia Tuareg
Thank You
Thanks! Great to hear from riders who are putting in the time to improve their skillZ. We are in the process of putting together a book with more info on traing, Be sure to sign up to our newsletter for details. advmotoskills.com/#signup
Fantastic video - Thank you so much!❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Lots of fun practice ideas in that one.
Wow ! 👌👌👌🙌🙌🙌. I'll practice one at a time for sure from tomorrow
Thanks a lot !
Have fun with the practice!👍🏻
Amazing video !!! amazing exercises !!!
Suscribed and 🔔 hitted :)
Regards from Spain !
Welcome Jesus & Welcome Spain! Thanks for the comment and glad to have you here. Let us know how your practice goes
Have to agree. In this video there is a lot for and ADV rider. :) Can check my content man. :)
Thanks again...It's great you show some of the dimensions..... :o)
Most welcomed ... hope you have fun with the exercises.
Great work! My first GS trophy was 2012. Still a noob but had a great time and happy I got 17/56
Thanks very much. 🤝 This video was a lot of fun to make. The more we can contribute to elevating the abilities of all riders around the globe … the safer and more fun our sport/passion becomes. The GS Trophy exemplifies what it means to fine tune skills and become better riders … but any rider on any bike can hopefully use these ideas to improve.
EXCELENTE VIDEO, PARABÉNS! QUE RETROVISOR É ESSE QUE VC USA?

Man is this cool, This might be tougher than what Motor officers do.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!!! The precision riding that Motor Officers do is VERY impressive! Amazing to watch gymkhana rides do their stuff too! This is good practice to be proficient with riding a large bike off road 👍
Thanks for this video. Definitely will train these exercises. 👍
You're welcome! Let us know how you get on with them. 👍
Brilliant. Loved the music. What was it?

Just wow! Amazing drills great ideas! Have a new KTM 890 ADV R coming off a 500. I need to do many of these drills because I’m a little bit lost so far. This is a completely different bike and I’m having a re-learn some riding skills. Thank you for posting an excellent video. It might take me a couple years a master all that… L O L!
Glad you found us here at ADVMotoSkillZ! Yes, these ADV bikes do require a little getting used to, especially line selection as compared to a 500. We also post some short cilps on out Instagram account and articles on our blog at advmotoskills.com/ Keep us posted on how you like the 890!!!
Great great tipZ 👁️🗨️🏁 thank you
Hello Silvia!!!! Thanks for taking a look at the GS exercises. There are some fun and challenging ones.
These are great! Now I'm going to put some boxes and a tent and a dry sack on and then practice :)
😅I've tried with panniers and it was difficult... never mind the tent!
Great video, thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for watching and letting us know you liked it👍
You have real fun with driving skills. Great👍
Thank you ... yes, I do love it :-)
Hey great channel! Love your work!
Thanks for the feedback & glad you enjoy! Let us know how your practice goes.
@advmotoskillz - Great video and we use quite a few of these exercises with our local training group. Could you give more info on the construction of the teeter-totter? We're looking to build something similar. Thanks!
Excellent vid!!!
Thanks very much. Enjoy
🔰 excelente obrigado
Que bom que você gostou.🤝
I'd prefer to hear the engine but good exercises nonetheless.
I agree... Hearing the engine gives cues of how much rev the rider is giving to keep in control...
Nice exercises btw.
Another really good video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for checking us out.
Thank you very much 👍🏼
Very welcome. Enjoy your skillz building!
Excelente, muy buen material.
Gracias amigo
Great video!!!
Thank you!!
Well gee wiz.......something fun to do in the backyard instead of a long-ride. I'm all in!
awesome! Let us know how it goes for you!
@@advmotoskillz quite well actually and lots of fun thanks - sometimes I don't feel like riding but messing around trials style is definitely not boring.
@@Lt_Tragg totally agree💯 and those slow speed skillZ definately pay off when you do hit the trails. Keep having fun 🤙
So much to learn…..
We have your back!!!😎 Lots of ideas on how to make training fun.
Enjoyed the video! Keep it up :)
Thanks, will do!🙌

What a skill...!
Question : What is the size of the square for the last exercise (Full Lock U-Turn)?
Thanks! It was 5 meters square
@@advmotoskillz Can you tell me if this 5 meters U-turn can be made with any motorcycle? I train hard with my Tiger 900 Rally pro but I can't do less than 6 meters... Maybe the GS is easier? Moreover, your swaying seems not to be excessive for such a tight U-turn.
@@LaurentLombardMusic 😅It comes down to technique..
Yes, a Tiger can make a 5M U-turn.
The first few successful 5M turns, at the apex of the turn, it will feel like you and the bike are going to fall to the inside of the turn. Proper counterbalancing posture and being smooth with the friction zone is the secret.
Take a look at our blog post or some inspiration:

Nice one again 👏 Thanks motoskilzz 👍 I have one question, what are the dimensions for GS Garage practice station?

@@bulutermis8262 You are most welcome! Hope you love it as much as us.
I'm torn. I used to love drXXX for off road. Now I have an f800r. I know it's not the same, but I think the dr is better for the application. I'd like to do both, but I think you can do one better with the equipment made for it. The dr is a mediocre road bike, etc...
Awesome and un-doable for most of us. But why the 1970s British gameshow soundtrack?
Thanks for watching. We are all about SkillZ development here. Feel free to take a look at our ADV Moto Basics Playlist at ruclips.net/p/PL8bkYmMdyraUQsWEqaxj-rOK44s-xGhWa for inspiration.
Amazing!
🤝Thanks! Welcome to ADVMotoSkliiZ. We also have quick tips and videos on Instagram (if you follow) at instagram.com/advmotoskillz/
Amazing, i would like to try on my own 😍
You can do it! Let us know how you do 👍
algumas coisas parece ser facil, porem para quem tem a manhã, para quem nao tem a moto e dificil para quem tem acho que nao seria.
@1:16 there is an edit in the video I assume b/c the rider blew the cone course -- it looks like he blew it at the prior cone, from which there was no recovering. Am I right? Can you show the unedited version? Thanks for sharing! Excellent video. Hello from New Brunswick Canada.
Thank you for the compliment. Feel welcome to watch the complete cone video at ruclips.net/video/g6nXt9GisRQ/видео.html to see the successful run uneditted. Thanks for visiting the channel.
@@advmotoskillz !
Great 🤝
Thanks! Hope you get some practice in!!👍🏻
Amazing BMW Park I wish we would here in Oz have such a facility. However the video reall does not show the actual techniques and implementation and at times it can give you a headache.
Thanks for watching.👍
This video purpose was simply to introduce the GS training exercises. A companion video reviewing tips and techniques will be dropping in the coming weeks.
So the aim with a few of these exercises is no hand on the throttle but using one handed clutch control. I guess there'll be lots of small clutching to prevent the bike stalling.
Hi Charlie. Yes, Rope Around A Tree is 100% friction zone with clutch constantly in & out. All of the other exercises have a heavy focus on friction zone control. A great way to practice this technique is actually walking next to the bike letting the clutch in & out without use of the throttle (certainly cover the front brake for safety). In our Elephant Turn Practice video ruclips.net/video/gU7SYX-jg2Q/видео.html there is an example of this process. Thanks for the great comment...you are right on
@@advmotoskillz cheers for the advice and great video. I will be practicing all this soon!
@@charliem5332 Welcome anytime. Let us know how it goes.
Nice video. It deserves more views. :) GS it is just a great bike. :) Rode one. For those who want, can check it. :) Anyways you got my like.

Hi, cool exercises, I have one question, @5:35 how do you put the bike in gear after walking around it? My shift lever Is on the left foot, and you seem to not hold the clutch while walking around the bike, how do you reengage the gear? Thanks
Hello 👋🏻
Glad to hear you are enjoying the video.
A little more info on this particular exercise you mention-
Ride on One Peg
* It is performed in first gear.
* Ride one length with right foot standing on left foot peg.
* At end of length - kill the engine.
* Walk to the right side of the bike and restart the bike.
* Ride back with left foot on right foot peg.
Let us know how you do👍🏻
Great!
Cheers!
I did many of these as part of my adv class. They are so frustrating to pull off.
😅Yes... some a very challenging for sure.
show, very good training
Thanks for the feedback, Igo. Hope you enjoy today's video as well.
Applause👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks!!! Hope you are getting some ride time in. 👍
This is hard! Great stuff though
You can do it! Thanks so much.
In gamba l'amico 👏👏👏💪👍🆗😁
Beautiful...
Cheers .. enjoy your practice.
What do you use for making the boxes? Is it just caution tape held down with rocks?
In this case, yes it is caution tape. Typically, we just scratch lines into the ground ... it makes for a nice 'green' build out and can not damage the bike in case of tips.
Not bad.....some of the same stuff we do on our Harleys when doing competitive riding. I wonder, because of the low center of gravity of the BMW, how much better I could perform? 🤔🤔🤔
Thanks for checking out the video 👍
Nice driving skills. I see lots of work coming 😞
Thanks 👍 It is lots of work, but incredibly fun and pays off 100X going forward. Let us know how your practice goes !
What is\are "dabs" ??? never heard of them/it.
A "foot dab" is when you quickly put a foot down to help clear a technical section or to help regain your balance if you feel you are about to tip over. "Dab" for short... 👍
For the last exercise (Full lock u-turn) what is the length of a side?
This was performed at 5 meters. You may enjoy our U-Turn video here ruclips.net/video/WagYFdREzpE/видео.html
What tires are in the video?
Thanks for watching.
Front tire
Pirelli Rally Scorpion
Rear tire
Mitas E07 Plus
Currently running matching pair
Motoz Tractionator RallZ
Gs 310 has no abs disable option we cannot do the exercises which requires abs off
Every bike/brand has different configurations for sure. Emergency procedures should still be practiced in order to have proper body positioning to help ensure the best possible outcome when hard braking skillZ are needed. 👍
very2 good
thank you 🙏
👌
👍🤝
whats the measurement on “the garage”?
We list the measurements in our video: "GS Garage Switchback - Motorcycle Agility Course To Practice Tight Cornering" ruclips.net/video/O43H8RbJvQY/видео.html
Не могу понять когда райдер отпускает правую руку (ручку газа) ,чтобы держать верёвку или перекладывать мячик, то мотоцикл работает на холостых или как? (холостые не всегда вывозят). Спасибо
Да, мотоцикл на холостом ходу. Скорость регулируется с помощью зоны трения. Сцепление включено… сцепление выключено… См. Наше видео с советами по зонам трения мотоциклов ADV.

How is the rope around the tree done with the Right hand??? Hmmm... The be-bop has ta go !!!
All friction zone use ruclips.net/video/XqAre95cx0M/видео.html
Wau 🇦🇹✌️✌️✌️✌️👌😘
😅 😂
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Balance with one hand, way to fast gone around. Do it slowly much harder, or with eyes closed (need a second person)
if i paid a fat stack of cash for a adv course and they had me going around in circles i would ask for my money straight back!
Holy shit that’s good riding.
I would have picked it up 30 times 🙄
Thanks 🙌 The 30 drops are all worth it for the success at #31 😉
Why, why always this crapy music to an otherwise excellent video😤
UAU
