    Thanks for that. I had a situation on the interstate where a long ladder fell off the roof of a van. Was preparing to go over it but the car beside saw it and gave me room. Not sure how things would have gone. The ladder has the two sides and open with the steps in the middle. Afraid the wheel would get caught in between. Thankful for an alert driver.

    today I went over some crazy invisible road flaws.. Like 3 large planks 10-20 metres after each other. I'm not sure what I did or didn't do, but I kept it straight somehow. Maybe staying loose and letting the bike do its thing (to a reasonable degree). Also rolling of throttle.

    Good video. A lot of new (and some old) riders don't know how to go over "surprise" obstacles. The driveway to the parking lot at my work is terrible. Cracks, bumps, enough to bounce you around pretty hard if you sit down. I "dirtbike" my 700+ pound pig of an ST1300 on that road every day. I get my 200 pound ass off the seat and up on the pegs. It's the best technique to go over sharp bumps like that.

    I ride on Chinese national roads (not highways), which are often ridden with holes in my region. I'm used to constantly hit the brakes to slow down, stand up and coast through the potholes, often also requiring a blip of throttle at the end to get out of it 😂 Thanks for all your videos, it's really hard to get some good riding courses here, your tips are priceless!!

    I usually pull in the clutch half way, get off the brakes and stand up a bit. Getting off the brakes was the best tip a riding buddy ever gave me. Suspension travel is at max. There are these rumble strips that really mess things up, which are of course glued to the tarmac, in which case being a bit on the throttle was best. This is, as usual, a great video, Greg.

    Great tips. I would respectfully add one more. Keep the hands loose and relaxed on the handlebars so that as the bike hits the obstacle, it can correct itself. If there is too much tension in the hands/arms. this may result in the rider trying to steer the bike in stead of letting the engineered design of the bike and physics correct any instabilities that may result. To me, this is a perfect example of off road riding skills improving your street riding. Thanks for sharing.

    The handle bar slapped once and stabilized.
    I have experienced the opposite too.
    As i was going over a raised railroad crossing, i couldn't see the potholes around the tracks, so i was hitting one dead center.

    Where I leave its unavoidable to ride on the shoulders from time to time.
    A big obstacle is transitioning from the shoulder to the road pavement which is about 4" higher than the shoulder.
    Making a complete stop to fully turn the front tire 90° is not always an option, most of the time you have to transition as you're riding forward, kind of like switching lane positions.
    It's so easy to lose the front that way.
    Going too slow or too fast will cause you to slip

    This is a good reason to ride a bike with the power to lift the front wheel in the first place. You don’t need much, just a few inches off the ground will get you out of most jams. Then like he said, back off before the rear wheel hits to avoid it following the obstacle. These are very good training techniques that should be practiced with some frequency.

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  Před 3 lety +1

      While it’s true you won’t need to actually lift the front wheel, that power will come into play at freeway speed. Quite a bit different than in a parking lot. The parking lot is great practice with relative safety but things change exponentially at high speed. A small bore dual sport, like what I ride, won’t have what it takes to lighten the front wheel at 60+ MPH. At that point, body position along with judicious throttle and clutch control is all that you have. Thanks for bringing up this important topic. 👍

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  Před 3 lety +1

      My bike is a 250 and if you get on the gas the front suspension extends more than enough at highway speeds...if you even decide to do it, which isn’t 100% necessary.

      It’s all about making the front wheel light over the obstacle. Whether it’s with power or a combination of power and body position, making the front end light is key. Dropping the throttle or worse yet, hitting the brakes, should be avoided entirely. This is all predicated on the obstacle being something the size of a 4x4. Something larger would potentially require more lift.

    • @MotoJitsu

    @luisdetomaso2224 Před 3 lety

    Might sound obvious, but it's worth mentioning that it's a good idea to stand the bike up before going over something. For example if going over railroad tracks in a turn, stand the bike up momentarily, and then lean it back over after you've gone over the obstacle. Suspension works better when the bike is stood up and you are also less likely to loose grip when you are not cornering

      @@MotoJitsu The angle that you hit the object at and lean are not always the same. For example, say you are on a sweeping highway turn and there is a nasty expansion joint perpendicular across the road. You could still hit the joint perfectly perpendicular while at full lean. But it's way safer to take the turn in two parts - turn, straight, hit the obstacle, and then lean again to finish the turn. If you don't believe me, try it out in the parking lot by setting up your 2x4 in the middle of a sweeping turn. In fact, this could even be your next video: "How to safely go over an obstacle mid corner"
