Learning skills to ride offroad on an ADV adventure bike does not always need dirt. This is the first of a series of videos that give lessons and drills that can be done in the city or areas that do not have trail or off-pavement access to ride.

This lesson taken from the ADV camps found in California, Washington, Oregon, Georgia and Virginia (BretTkacs.com/training) is one of the most basic but also most important skills to develop. Besides reducing energy you will improve your balance, confidence, blending of controls, clutch, throttle and brake.

Practicing this until it is a habit to stop without your butt touching your seat will save you once you get off the pavement.
