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.

There is a hidden gem at 5:51 BRaVo that dismount is pure fire. Thank you for putting out these kick ass training videos.
😅I find that dismount easier than trying to swing my leg over.. Glad you are enjoying our videos!
I’m not a big bike rider but these videos of yours have helped me with my dual sport desert riding more than anything else out there. Thank you!
🤝 That is great to hear! Thanks for letting us know you are finding inspiration form our videos, that is exactly why we do them. Big bike, small bike.. it's all about gaining skiilZ and enjoyinh the ride🤙
Great video. That's what it takes. a lot of practice. Possibly ur bike will fall over a few times and brake some stuff. Maybe practice with a not-so-nice bike at first. That way when u need to do these turns you'll already posses this skill set.
Practicing with a smaller bike is a good idea in order to be able to focus on the mechanics of the movements and not have to worry so much about how to keep the bike upright. For sure… there are a lot of drops involved in order to get really good at this. 😅
And finally if all around you doing rolling mount an dismount too, you need the next level. Great video again. Hopefully you do more again…
Oh man! Those extra angles! Beautiful! Thanks
Glad you like them!👍 Thanks

Muito bom amigo!... Obrigado por compartilhar!

As easy as it seems ;)
Great
Waiting for you man to come back in new lessons to teach us newbies...it's been long 8 months ...!!
Appreciate the intrest! Hope you have been following our short tips/videos on Instagram instagram.com/advmotoskillz/
Teşekkürler.
rica ederim
Great video! I am a newish rider and take my training very seriously. I tried the standing method the other day and felt like the bike was getting away from me, but after reviewing the demo it could be that I didn't have the bike leaned over enough. That, and still being too timid with the whole process. I get the feeling that once successful, I'll wonder what was so hard about it? Thanks for the series, love the format! Liked and subscribed!
Thanks George ... really appreciate your comment. Congrats on your training. Something that may be helpful for you is to video yourself during practice and then watch back later. It is a very efficient way to quickly identify areas to improve or focus on more. It is common when learning this technique to be shy on the lean and on the throttle. Just keep up the practice and you will master it in no time !!
👍💪🇰🇷최고의 교육영상
정말 고맙습니다
Observation: Watch his feet as he's doing these turns. They don't just stay still. They kind of follow the slide. The first time I tried the standing version I thought my feet would stay in the same place and I fell over.
Thanks! Have you seen some of our other elephant turn videos?
czcams.com/video/VNghnbyMFRU/video.htmlsi=kTlDg6AZrIvQ4SJe
When I do a 360 or more turn I definitely have to hop around in order to keep up with the bike. A 180 spin I’m pretty good at keeping my foot planted. Riders who are long in the legs and are physically fit certainly have those advantages to make it easier and can stay planted, or if they engage the front bake…
I always chicken out when I'm practicing this move. I can do it on a smaller bike, but not on my big one.
😅 That is why I often do it standing...
Excellent 🙌
With your skillZ - !! - and you had your panniers filled with stuff on and perhaps a tankbag ; would you do this kind of manouver in a very small area with your gear on , or you take all off the motorcycle ?
Thank very much. There are circumstances in which I would go for it with the gear on (for example ... very safe terrain for turning). However, a tight elephant turn with full gear would not be my first choice. There are many variables in this without one set answer. Basically if all other conditions were 100% then perhaps yes. As always, it is best to analyze each situation and choose the safest method for that moment.
What about with the front brake lever pulled in while I am practicing it on my cb919 hornet? I thought that way only the rear wheel will slide out and that's what I would like to see when I practice it.. what would you reckon? Don't have an adventure bike but seems a good maneuver when it's too tight for a normal u turn.
Great Vid! I especially love the no vocals approach. Let the visuals do all the talking.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I mean really this is all very nicely done. Thanks for it.
@@matiaswagner9810 Thank you so much. Really appreciate hearing from you.
❤️
Excellent video. Thank you. Why is it called elephant turn?
Glad you liked it! Check out our blog post on elephant turns for mre info:
advmotoskills.com/how-to-do-an-elephant-turn-on-an-off-road-motorcycle-plus-donuts/
Legend has it that the name “elephant turn” came about from riders encountering elephants blocking their trails. A situation such as this requires a quick and efficient turnaround technique. Feel free to use your local creatures to rename … “bear turn” … “tiger turn” … etc.
Been waiting for this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Will begin practice from tomorrow. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Is there any way I can share my practice videos for your kind review , advice and corrections please. It’s my humble request submission. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I use bmw 310 gs.
Good luck with your practice and thank you for the feedback. We do not currently offer the service you are requesting but we will post announcements if that changes.
I've only been practicing the standing version so far. One thing I'm struggling with is how to properly get the bike back in a vertical position at the end of the maneuver , so I don't end up having to wrestle with it. I suspect it might be a bit easier on a GS due to their famously low center of gravity. My ATAS feels really heavy when leaned over.
There is no way around it … they ALL feel heavy when leaning over! 😅
If you can video yourself practicing, perhaps check on these items:
1. Speed of spin … a slow spin will make the bike feel heavier on the lean
2. Its easier to lift the bike to vertical by stepping in and letting your hip press against the bike to “push” it back upright (instead of lifting with handlebars)
I hope that helps!!
@@advmotoskillz Thanks. It's probably the speed, I still lack the courage to just "go for it" and do it in one fluid motion ;)
@@mikoaj1321 Keep up the practice and progress as you feel ready!
They all feel heavy leaned over to me... I think if you are over 6 feet tall it might be easier. For this reason, I prefer to do the standing version. Once you have a good feel for how quickly you need to perform the steps the seated becomes a little "easier".
We call that a Bear turn in Canada!
awesome! love it
Thanks for the lesson :D btw, in what number of adjustment you have the clutch set at? mine feels like the bite is way too close to the end of the travel, not close to the middle like yours.
I have my clutch lever dialed in on the number 1 setting. I do wish there was the ability to fine-tune the engagement point more than that. Glad to hear you liked the video!
@@advmotoskillz thanks a bunch! Had mine at 3 for some reason. That fixed the feeling and gives me more confidence to try this out :)
@@mariominayag Great! I hope it helps.
what gear in order to perform this turn 1st gear or in which gear
yes, first gear👍
I want you to make a video tutorial of the power slide.
thank you for the suggestion
@@advmotoskillz I am still waiting for you to teach you Power Slices, you are a channel that makes a very good and detailed teaching program. I hope very much That if you teach Power Slice, I would understand. Thank you.
Can I have a personal Facebook or ID line? I want to consult you about motorcycles.
@@stewardrider6595 Currently our time is dedicated to creating content for this channel. If ever we do consulting in future, then we will make announcement. Thanks very much

Can such tricks be done on a motorcycle with a DCT (Africa Twin) gearbox - no clutch control?
We are not DCT riders so have no experience to advise on this. A few DCT riders have commented on the Elephant Turn Practice video czcams.com/video/gU7SYX-jg2Q/video.html that they will be trying to use the left-hand parking brake to help with control. Suggest chatting to other DCT riders for support on this topic.
@@advmotoskillz Thanks for the reply :)
i am just 5'6"" and i am afraid that in case the bike straightens up after the turn and i am not in control of my throttle it will drag and throw me off.
I prefer to do it standing next to the bike. This way I feel more in control of the bike when I need to lean it over.
Do you have narrower tyres and different rear wheel?
The tires are standard 170/60 on the rear and 120/70 on the front. The wheels are from Bart's Tubless👍
@@advmotoskillz They look narrower. Why did you change the OEM wheels? Thanks for quick answers.
@@motolover5697 The original front rim ended up with a flat spot...
How hard is it on tarmac? Would it be worth a dedicated video?
As we are off-road adventure riders, tarmac is not something we will be dedicating a lot of time to here on the channel. Appreciate your comment tho.
@@advmotoskillz You may want to turn around on a narrow road because you've just passed a promising trail you wanna take...
Can it be done with the traction control on?
If you jump to the 21 second mark of this video we review traction control and show the differences with traction control on and off.
@@advmotoskillz thx. I look at the time stamps but didn't see 😅
Q7: Why you don’t qualify and participate in GS Trophy 2022 😅
Thank you for that !!
@@advmotoskillz wish you all the best if you intended to join 👍
Why is it called an elephant turn?
Because when you are riding down a trail and come face to face with an elephant ...it's good to be able to turn around and get out quickly. Someone wrote in saying in Canada they call this a Bear Turn ... but same idea 😅
@@advmotoskillz Love it!
