Delayed Stopping - IF by chance an animal, car, or something else were to suddenly appear in front of you while riding standing up, guess what?
You pretty much need to sit down before you can really slam on the brakes. Try braking hard enough while standing, and you'll flip right over the handlebars. So of course you need to sit down first, which might only take a fraction of a second Enough said. Jumping Off - We talked about this in the list of "Pros," too. If an animal, car or some other obstruction suddenly enters your path of motorcycle travel, jumping clear off the bike might be the safest thing to do.
Quite the opposite of the "stopping" issue in the point above, jumping off the bike requires that you squat down to a near sitting position first. Think about it: You can't jump without first bending your legs, right?
So again, if you're already in a standing position, jumping off might require an extra fraction of a second. I was one of them, more or less. So improving your off-road skills is crucial, and gaining confidence will definitely increase the fun factor and decrease the pucker factor , just like it does for street riding. And maybe more in this case.
After all, smart street riders know that their riding skills should be continuously improved, and this comes with education. So why should it be any different for dual-sport owners? The authors recommend only that you bring whatever you can to get the job done — no dual-sport snobbery here!
The instruction and the riding shown in the videos is focused on slow to medium speed trail riding. The rugged terrain and the instructions include everything from soft sand and snow to loose rubble and rocks, along with uphill and downhill sections. In addition, there are three bonus chapters that include Suspension Setup, Tire Changing and miscellaneous trail riding videos.
The Dual Sport Riding Techniques videos seem to have employed a professional videographer and several different camera angles are sometimes used to illustrate the techniques. In comparison, the Dirt Riding Skills video seems to have been taken by a single person, sometimes with a hand-held camera. But I found it easier and a bit more enjoyable to watch the Dual Sport Riding Techniques videos because the video and production quality and the way the information is presented allowed me to remember more of what is being taught once I was out in the field.
By the way, the background and scenery in both videos is breathtaking; it certainly makes you want to jump on your dual-sport bike and get out and ride!
