Chock full of fantastic tips and information about basic dual sport techniques after watching videos from the likes of Everide and Cross Training Enduro Skills, two complete dual sport beginners head out to practice dual sport skills such as slow speed maneuvering, figure eights, powerslides, riding while standing, and the "small, practical wheelie" with...limited...success. Share the pain of watching two guys who are completely new to off road motorcycling mostly fail but occasionally (kind of) succeed as they try to master these dual sport basics on the Honda CRF250L and Yamaha WR250R. Disclaimer: we're bad at this, and we know it. This was pretty much our first practice session ever. I'm only posting this mostly embarrassing content in the hope that some other pathetic dual sport beginner might watch and see that they're not alone. We are hoping that this is the first step in a long journey of off road riding skill improvement and that we'll one day look back at this feeble effort and laugh at how much we sucked.
