Kevin responded with a link to a DVD made by a guy on ADVRider saying it was worth the $$$. Then Michael Nelson said he got that DVD and it was very helpful. I decided I wanted to continue to add to my motorcycling stuff collection so I checked out the website www.dualsportriding.com and info about the DVD. Kind of pricey and the shipping is real pricey as far as I'm concerned. But I ordered a copy anyway. It was worth the money! The DVD arrived yesterday in the mail. Took a week from my ordering it to my receiving it. It comes in a nice container that is shrink wrapped like the DVDs a person might buy in the store. And it's just as much of a pain getting the shrink wrap off. I was impressed from the start. Now just the basics on this DVD since if you want to learn more you should check it out for yourself. The photography is excellent. This isn't a DVD made by a guy with a camera he bought that morning. It's well edited and the writing is well thought out and follows a logical and easy to follow sequence. The 9 techniques that are taught are well explained with multiple examples showing some good and also not so good techniques. I learned something in each segment and will probably learn quite a bit more when I check this out again. And I'm looking forward to practicing each technique. I was impressed with the professionalism of the narrator and the riders. No hot dogging that would in my opinion be unsafe or intentionally tear up the environment. Safety gear was worn by all and safety was well stressed. There were some very good hints talked about and demonstrated like how to change direction on a hill and getting out of sand. The how to change a tire "extra" was pretty interesting. I've changed a lot of tires and will have to try one thing they showed. Want to know what it was? Buy the DVD. : ) The areas used for each technique were well suited allowing for excellent visual demonstrations. And the demonstrations were top notch and the discussion of each technique seemed complete and accurate. This is in my opinion a very good learning tool for inexperienced riders and experienced riders alike. If you are a "hot dogger", racer or motorcross rider you might not find it very helpful. But for the person looking for an hour of motorcycling in the living room with the potential of improving personal performance and understanding of dual sport riding I think this is a fine DVD. For a beginner looking to figure out how to ride off pavement this will be a very good learning tool. For the experienced rider this will reinforce good techniques already in place and help identify weaker areas that can use some improvement. As always, no affiliation with the DVD other than I now own a copy.
