i am not sure that he is "ok", It looks like he is not, he pulled a hamstring. In my books this injury needs to be avoided at all costs. Of course he states that this type of activity doesn't come without risks etc etc... typical ADV attitude, which results in injuries from poor calculated risk assessment, usually stated on You Tube by ADV riders who just hurt themselves. Falling and crashing all the time, two times in one video..is not normal.....Accident waiting to happen, and it did of course, while "performing" for the camera...

I have found when attempting to learn bike maneuvers that involve breaking the rear tire loose (such as elephant turns), it's helpful to start by riding straight while standing and just do small fishtails left and right. Your brain is recording each experience. You become more comfortable maintaining control of the bike while breaking traction with the rear wheel drifting left and then right and then left, etc.. As you become more experienced and confident, you will naturally perform wider and longer fishtails. Once you are comfortable fishtailing while standing, switching to sitting down and fishtailing. Once you can confidently fishtail both left and right, you will be better prepared for more advanced maneuvers such as elephant turns.

If you start learning how to do elephant turns to your left it will allow you to control the rear brake while you're dialing in the technique. 1. Place your foot slighly forward of the peg. 2.Turn to bars to full lock. 3. Lean the bike until it almost becomes difficult to hold it up then brace the seat against your inner thigh. 4. Get your weight off the seat. 5. Throttle up and dump the clutch. (Properly executed, this part is pretty close to how you do a clutch-up wheelie.) It's an easy technique, but requires full commitment and going against everything we learn as street riders. The biggest problem I saw with your technique was you kept the bike too vertical. This is one of those "screw it, send it" things. Anything less than full commitment puts you on the ground. Once you do it properly a couple of times you'll understand it and will rapidly master it. After about ten or so times you'll probably be able to slide to a stop and execute it seamlessly.

He was not in control, and was struggling with traction control on the rear wheel, which translates to poor throttle clutch action. In this maneuver wheel spin is the primary part of the move, he was not spinning his wheel with any consistency. He was hooking up...shooting him straight and upright, and then too much spin resulted in the crash. Not sure of why he would want to do this move on this type of bike...it all seems pointless, and resulted in a bad injury. None of those turns looked good, not even close.

Get better soon! The trick is to lean it over more and keep the seat side tight against your leg. It may be that it's too heavy a bike to be learning stuff like that with. It got too far out and angled over for you to hold up. You might consider learning those kinda skills on a trail bike that you can pick up from laying on its side with your two hands on the handlebar grips.

@@dangerdave8080 Please, before trying again with this elephant, practice the technique on a smaller bike. In my view, something is wrong from the moment the bike moves away from the starting point. I believe that the bike should rotate in such a way that you have not moved your foot from the starting position before having turned 180 degrees. I do this movement a lot on an enduro bike, I've never tried it on an elephant.

Well done and gutsy. I still fail to understand where and when the elephant turn finds real world application for the amateurlcasual rider. I stay confused because the surface + space needed for a safe elephant is such that other very safe options will work. An elephant turn on a trail route won't fly. On rutted or gnarly/corrugated dirt road you can be high sided badly. So what is the realistic application? I exclude pro-racers.

Not an expert in this move, but anything you do involving breaking traction, requires commitment. Trying to do it carefully, the tire is spinning but still has to much traction. Trying to hug the line causes unpredictable behavior while going well past the line bring consistent behavior. You finally committed to it that last time, lots of throttle an dumped the clutch, so the bike did what it needed. But I am guess by that point you were overcompensating with more lean than needed. But again, not a move I do.

Gotta give it to you for expanding your skill set. But it's painful to watch someone attempt this on such a giant bike. 20 years from now we'll look back at this trend of older guys who aren't in the prime of their life in terms of strength attempt to ride these giant bikes off road and say "what the hell were we thinking?"

Kind of funny … when my wife of 46 years saw the video … her response with a smile … “What were you thinking … act your age!?!?!”. LOL Thanks for watching and commenting!!

I can’t for the life of understand why “older” and “weaker “ men absolutely has to ride a GS. If you want to learn something right, start with a small bike and learn all the basics. The elephant turn, I learned that as a kid riding my moped. Get a small used Honda 300 put crash bars on it and go practice, I bet you that you would have walked away without injury if you practiced on a small bike

Next time, try it on looser gravel. Get your butt right off the seat to reduce traction. The only part of your body touching the bike beside your hands should be your left foot on the peg. Take little steps with your right foot to keep it the same distance from the bike so you can keep pushing the bike up to stop you doing the splits and to stop the bike from getting away from you. And forget about the ground markers, they will just make it harder. Hope you heal fast Better luck next time.
