How to Pivot Turn Like Pro - MiniTip Monday S2 Ep4

----
Pivot turns are showy as hell and incredibly useful for riding dirt bikes. They're great for getting out of tricky situations, turning around quickly or riding really technical going.

The foundations of the pivot turn lies in learning to lift the front wheel on a dirt bike. Getting that mastered will be a massive development for your riding. Once you've got that figured out Pivot turn, riding logs, changing ruts and lots of other technical skills are just a few steps away.

What I find amazing is, that for you this is just one fluid motion of control and balance, without consciously thinking about it.
The way you break down this one muscle memory motion into all these little steps involved is the sign of a truly gifted instructor.
I’ve watched you do this on many minitips and it never fails to make me smile.😄👍🏻👍🏻
That’s what I like about your biketests too; they way you break down handling, suspension etc.

Great instructional videos in this series! I like the detail of the step-by-step

Best explanation and lesson on pivot turns I have seen - well done!

[TwistedTriggerEnduro]

This is exactly the video I needed. Just found your channel and joining your community. Excellent instructions in a step by step process.

Thank You! And this comes after a month I've watcehed this video.
This is how long it took [aprox 4 times out training for an hour each till the clutch finger gave out] to start feeling the impact.
The first time it was more sweat and swear than actual result. However I'm glad I stock with it.
Still a lot for me to learn, therefore my only advice - step by step. It takes time for your body to gain muscle memory and each next training session brought me surprises of how more naturel the sequence of actions feels.

Top vid, just what ive been looking for👍

Very clear video, thanks! Any tips for shorter leg riders where creating the separation between the bum & the bike is not too easy?

In the 2000s BMW was having a rally on two track in the mountains outside LA, pt to pt stuff. An R100 guy followed the track up a steep hill to a flat dirt pad at the top, maybe 15' square. A short guy with a girl on the back of his R1100 GS monster followed him up, hauled the bike into a wheelie stance, rotated 360 degrees and went back down the 2 track. That is what I would like to see and do, w/o the girl of course. Lessons on a 600 lb bike?

Great video.. Is it a bit ambitious for me to try this on my 790 Adventure R 🙈😅 . Is your Husky a 350 ?

[CupsColombia]

The big question would be with a 790 is how you set up rally mode to do this and spin turns etc

[CommieHunter]

I've seen guides like this and have tried but often have trouble getting the front end to pop up on level ground. All of my best pivot turns have come on a trail where the front of the bike was already slightly higher. Knowing the concepts of balance and body movement to turn is awesome, But having the front already pointed up was a little bit of a cheat mode. That said if I ever had to do a pivot turn on a steep downhill switch back I don't think it's going to go over very well.

Often when the ground is slippery my rear tire slip to the side instead of front end comes up.

If I sit in the back that helps but then it’s harder to create separation when the bike.

Any suggestions to help me avoid this situation? I have to ride in muddy ground very often instead of the dry and nice surface in the video due to the weather here.

Are you really tall or is your bike really low? When you’re standing 1 leg it looks like you are fairly above your seat height
