First Trail Ride on a Dirt Bike

[adamgamedude]

y do i gota see the ground the whole time ....

[Islandwarrior233]

Your a fricken pussy dude



[MxAxRxK]

heres some advice. in sand the faster you go the easier it is.

[s10cberry]

wow this guy isn't bad he looks about like what I did when I was 4 and first learning how to ride

[creamypoop1]

that is a endour bike

[kj7687]

You are on a DR350? You didn't buy a KLR 650 did you? If you did, don't. The DR650 is a much better bike, if you want a 650. Lighter, lower center of gravity, more reliable. And IMO looks better.

[chersh08]

@kj7687

For what Atlas is doing in terms of highway travel, a KLR is much more comfortable. But you're right, in the dirt a DR650 beats it all day.

[rideredification]

god you suck.

[lacollll]

"this is cool" .. of course it is :D ... for a beginner you should have gone a bit faster ... going that slow in dirt and not knowing how bike will react on cerain bumps, slides, sand, rocks ... could have resulted in crash ... but its really easy to ride when you get into it

[bigmacbiker]

Some people don't realize how big a difference is between dirt and street riding. When someone asks my opinion about getting a street bike I have always recommended to learn how to ride a dirt bike first off road because dirt is a lot more forgiving then pavement. And I personally learned to ride a dirt bike first and had several years experience off road before I made the decision to buy a street bike.

[footballmaniac1001]

hay u mother fucker go fast or dont ride dude ur like 30 odd years old and im 15 when i got on my first dirt bike 90cc got on went 30mph traight away

[dakotaryun12]

mann u sound scared?? is it that bumpy

[Dp908]

Remember when going through stuff like that, you don't have to stand straight up, just get kind of hunched up and get your ass towards the rear of the bike, and do not let off the gas when going through sand or any deep type of terrain.

[bigfatcrisp9]

It looks like you have had a good first ride, mate. It is really addictive.

[hondaxlr125hard]

what r u woried bout ur frount tire is fine

[luisRRR69]

thats a crp bike. get a crf 450

[CLUMZYLB]

@luisRRR69 hey man i ride a yfz 450 quad.. i want to get into motorcross though!! i know a quad is much different from a dirbike im 5'8 and weigh 180 pounds would a 250f or a 450f be better for me this would be my first motorcross bike if i get one if u could help me out thanks!!

[509eddels]

nice job for your first time. but if your interested in getting on the dirt get a DIRT bike not a dual sport. the gearing will be better and you won't have a ton of extra weight. and try to look up more towards your riders so you see whats coming so you can avoid it instead of a split second before you hit it.

[xenonnerd]

On days that I want to go ride but it's raining i've watched some video's on the net of other people riding and yeah the guys on their 250's and 450's look so cool roosting out of a burm, but that isn't what most of us started out liking about dirt bikes. It was about being out with your buds trail riding and exploring and pushing each other to get up a hill or something like that. Can't wait to do some more trail riding and just having fun like this.

[zebrahead175050]

damn everybody quit complaining, obviously its his first time on the dirt, why dont u try giving pointers to help him out instead puting him down. I know dam well that u wernt perfect when u first rode on the dirt. STOP being so rude if you dont like it dont watch it.

[funnystuffpatty]

OMG u call that trail bike riding??? i could fukin walk faster than that... and no wonder ur shitting urself, LOOK UP and u might be able to see wats goin on!!!

[TheCarnac449]

Wild guess -

Are you riding a Yamaha TW200?

[Mr45C2]

dude quit complainin...and u drive like my grandma

[COPH8N]

wtf were u thinkin u actually put this on u tube???? did u ever get to see wat coplour the sky was? theres not much interesting on the floor!!!!

[zoooyork911]

post another video id like to see how youve improved.

i find it harder to look at the ground when i ride if you were to keep looking at the ground and an animal walked out in front of you i guarantee youd hit it. good job

[ToKeDaSmOkE23]

quit looking at the ground pussy nd learn how to ride

[dakaraabbccdd]

he wasn't looking at the ground.. it's how his Sony camera being setup.. watch his camera setup video before you put your comment..

[HybridSprinter08]

I LOVE dirt biking. I'm getting to get a motorcycle soonish though. prob september- march. i know sounds far away. but i'm looking @ a kawi 650

[cbryant3]

if u wanna watch the ground look about 10 feet in front of you and dont go that slow on a dirtbike they will tip rlly fast

[BungaEBiker]

Hey Atlas you should take a look at a BMW R1200GS Adventure. MMMMmmm very sexy bike and it's damned near indestructible. As well its quite inexpensive considering its a BMW. .I have seem them priced at $20,490 and less for an older one. Those are the bikes used in Long Way Round/Long Way Down and Race to Dacar.

[AtlasRider]

It's too big of a bike. I like small and nimble bikes. They are amazing machines, but they're not for me. I'd love to get a F800GS though.

[zoooyork911]

where are you? what state or country?

[brotherblonde]

Hey Atlas, welcome to the wonderful world of Standing-on-the-pegs-gripping-­the-tank-with-your-knees-and-p­uffing-a-lot, style of riding! :-)

[chick5581]

It is hard to pick just one prettiest place....BUT I was fortunate enough to see the Nasrid Palace in the Al Hambra AT NIGHT. They are SPECTACULAR at night and since the rest of the Al Hambra is closed, there are no large crowds to deal with....

[svengalie]

Tougher than it looks eh? Now look back some of my vids and try doing *that*

:P

[AtlasRider]

heh yea, I've got a lot to learn

[Yeshua1Reborn]

if you keep on staring down....you will eventually go there....just keep your head up!

[wintertyme]

good job!!

[DanER6F]

nice vid atlas, not easy is it, serious fun though :D

[xe1dvi]

This is going to make you a better rider in many ways, specially when you ride on the road, I have had so many close calls on the road/track, thanks to my dirt bike ridding experience I've been able to saved it.

[dprider02]

Good work. You are on the verge of opening up a whole new, extremely fun world. And you are living in one of the best parts of the country for it. Have fun!

[robinphillips]

That looked good mate ;-)

[TheBoyNamedNoize]

a rejetted carb i can hit about 115 (completely spooled out though)

it can ride comfortably at 70-80 though.

i have an assumption those mods from the previous owner didnt change much, so even stock would be powerful enough

[TheBoyNamedNoize]

i bought a DRZ400SM

changed my life

thing is so amazing. i can hit the railroad crossing doing 60.

its the supermoto version so its made more for the street then dirt but it has gotten stopped by anything.

and with an airbox mod an aftermarket pipe and

[britex3186]

Seems like you have your camera zoomed a little.

Dirt riding is fun, but you have to get used to the bike moving independently of your body. will you keep the ninja too?

[AtlasRider]

I was really focused on what was in front of me so I had my head tilted down a bit more than I usually do. I'm usually looking up the road while on the Ninja. I will have to come up a fix for that angle when I'm riding off road. I'll keep the Ninja until I leave for South America next year. I'll sell it for gas money.

[8cuttlefish8]

Wooohooo!

DUALSPORT PRIDE!

[wintertyme]

when are you leaving on the trip you won??

[8cuttlefish8]

Huh???? Did u mean to reply to me? Because i have not won any trips.

[wintertyme]

I was replying to Atlas.

[brnonrb]

I thought that have a plan go to Alaska for next year.
