if he s using the standard fit pirelli scorpions, which are normally fantastic, they however, do not like wet ruts of mud. he needs some proper knoblies. how do i know, i ve done what he did, but did nt drop it. turned round, and bought some knoblies.
For the guy drivng that bike it is not a pleasure, he is looks scared and tired and girlish.... This is the main problem in my opinion... Hot something he would enjoy to do, bad driving is just a consequence of that...
Standing up: why? imagine when the bike gets jurked outa of course and you are sitting, your body gets pushed in that same direction but by reflex our sholders go the oposite way. So your ass, sitting on the seat actually pushes on the bike making it fall even more on the side it jurked. If you are standing up and the bike jurks on one side , your body does not get pushed with the bike and your body can counter-act in a natural way. Half the work is done .
hey, tnx for al the advice..i'm getting there. it's a faith thing, standing up, leaning back and using speed! i used MT21 tires and of course, hardly a challenge then!
I have to say it's a pity that you never told us you were hurt. Sorry about that. Hope your work didn't suffer due to the injury?
Now, perhaps it'll please you to know we adapted the parcours for 2009. It's much more lighter and much less difficult and so it's much more suited for those who want to discover the joys of off-roading.
yeah get the katoom more comfortable for you to stand on (bigger pegs that grip to your boot and maybe handlebar risers). Standing up on the bike lowers the center of gravity making it easier to push around with your legs
standing up doesn't lower the center of gravity. On the contrary, it raises it. But the motorbike can move more freely and that is the important bit. ;-)
Yes and no. You are correct when you say that the weight goes on the pedals, not on the seat. But this does not mean that the center of gravity (of man and machine) lowers ! Oh no ! But hey, you don't have to believe me... just ask a scientist ! ;-)
Hey ... keep practicing .. you will get better...little bit of weight on your pegs...ie...butt off the seat...move weight back a little.. and just a little acceleration through those grooves...weight on pegs will give you better balance and weight back and slight acceleration will help you to drive through them... Keep riding... Nice video....
may practise

Foward when you climb, back when you go downhill . Just feel the bike and relax. I'm no expert and I,m learning but thats what I observed so far.

You're right it doesn't lower it lol. Don't know why I said that. =) Just feels better standing up.

When you stand up you also lower it because your weight goes on the pedals and not on the seat.
