Kawasaki KLR 650 Off Road Practice - Richmond BC

I really suck at riding offroad on my KLR.

In order to get better at dual sport riding, I like to go to this nice little sand pit area not far from my home. One can go and ride through sand, dirt, rocks and mud there. Some of the areas are a little more geared to smaller bikes but those with better skills than I can push a 650 through them.

This is some footage of me riding though an easier area just to get some practice riding through mixed terrain. It's nothing spectacular and not very challenging but it is fun.

Nice vid and thanks for your help on the Drift Cam. I'll be getting one soon to add road footage and audio to my own vlogs, woo-hoo! Love the recommendation that everyone get off-road sometimes, its nice to not stress about those other vehicles.

The first time I rode in sand, I learned really fast that you don't make sharp turns......unless you enjoy wiping out....lol
