Skill Clinic Co #6 – Going Fast!

Skill Clinic #6. Going Fast

Skill Clinic #6 focuses on riding faster with control, efficiency, and sound judgment. Speed on an adventure motorcycle is not about aggression, but about smoothness, vision, and making decisions early. This clinic teaches riders how to increase pace while remaining calm, stable, and in control across changing terrain.

Riders learn the philosophy behind faster adventure riding, including why smooth inputs matter more than force and how looking farther ahead improves both speed and safety. On-bike drills focus on turning at speed, proper body position, throttle timing, and selecting efficient lines that maintain momentum without overcommitting.

Terrain transitions are a key component, with riders practicing how to adapt speed as surfaces change between hardpack, gravel, sand, and rock. Emphasis is placed on staying loose, managing traction, and making small corrections that keep the motorcycle settled. Braking concepts at higher pace are introduced in a controlled, progressive manner.

This clinic is about riding faster when appropriate and backing it down when conditions demand it. Riders leave with improved confidence, smoother technique, and a clearer understanding of how speed, control, and judgment work together in real-world adventure riding.
