After recently buying my first adventure bike and new tech 7 boots and few adjustments on the gear shifter and 3 hours riding I worked out by trial and error the techniques you teach were the only way I could change gears. Stumbled across your YouTube video and appreciate you confirming it’s the proper way to do it. My ankle is definitely happier now. Cheers from down under Australia 👍🏾

Just got my first dirt bike at the age of 36. Your videos have been very helpful. Thanks!

Been riding 250 klx for years. Just bought my first pair of mx boots. Thought I'd made a serious mistake. After a lever adjustment and this video, I couldn't be happier with my boots. Thanks!!!

Gday Dakota,
Thanks mate for taking the time to put this info out there. At 55 I’m just getting back into bikes after best part of 40 years away. I’m loving it. Recently bought a WR250 and best exercise I’ve had in ages. I bought all the good safety gear as my wife was dead against it and I’ll never hear the end of it if I hurt myself 😁. She sees how much I enjoy it, so she’s coming around and I’ve hopefully got enough sense to take it easy.
This is exactly the issue I’m having in my Gaerne SG 22’s. I know it’s not the boots, it’s my lack of experience. I’m having issues shifting and am also sitting back down to shift as feel unco. Where I ride the terrain has you standing nearly all the time which is a great work out. I’m gonna get practicing when next out with that placement and leverage. Will find some leveller ground and start practicing the balanced standing shift too.
Best advice I got recently from an experienced buddy was “you will go where you look”. It’s very true too.
Thanks Dakota,
much appreciated mate, have liked and subbed,
Cheers, 👍👍🍻

Great video. Had the hardest time shifting with new boots on a new (to me) bike.

This helped a lot. I just bought a pair of adventure boots (SIDI Adventure 2s) going from a more sport style boot. I ride a BMW R1200 RS - sport touring. I was struggling with shifting after years of riding street bikes. My motocross days are coming back to me thanks to your video. These instructions are excellent for all types of riding - you do want to be on the balls of your feet. Using the foot peg as leverage is a key instruction for up shifting! Thanks!

Good tips, I rode a Suzuki 125 as a young teen, then a 250. A couple seasons ago I swapped for a crf450r. Fun bike but this one has hurt when I’ve layed it down. Finally got my first Mx boots because of that and it was like I forgot how to ride 🤣

[jank-official]

nice! I was struggling to shift standing on my Tenere 700. Its a bit like a big dirt bike and therefore experienced some countersteering through the right peg, whenever I lifted the foot up to shift down. VERY NICE explaination... thank you!!

[scottturner-zmvu]

Just got my first pair of boots. Appreciate the video.

[FollowerOfChrist]

Thanks for the tips, I just got some boots and was puzzled on how I was going to shift, now that you have given me something to practice I feel a lot more confident

[randomgirl-ljxi]

Thank you! Just bought tech 7s and went dirt riding for the first time after years on the road flicking the shifter up with sneaker like road boots withiut thinking and it was a real struggle, i stacked it too coz couldnt shit up so front wheel slid out.

[chicochico]

When I bought my first pair I was convinced it was safer riding without them lol. Once I heard practiced more riding without them no longer felt right

[motomanic]

Wearing protective shorts and flip-flops solved shifting problems for me.😮

I recently bought a dirt bike and received my off-road boots today. They are super stiff, probably due to the brand, idk, I'm new to this experience. Thank you for the help.

[MOUNTAINOUS]

real helpful. i will have my bike i a month or so honda says. they say it will be in stock again and my name is on the list to get it. and i will get boots. and this was very helpful. i am a life long bmx freestyle rider and still ride and am over 50. but i got a dual sport on the way that i can take off road down dirt roads and fishing trips and camping etc. so this was great info
