Advanced off-road maneuvers seem like a daunting task for most novice-to-intermediate adventure riders. Whether faced with deep sand or rock gardens, steep uphill climbs or equally precipitous declines, negotiating highly technical terrain calls for both body and bike control. Professional West 38 Moto instructor Dusty Wessels knows as much, and he takes to the Mototrek YouTube channel to show ADV devotees how to pull off pesky uphill U-turns.
Of course, Wessels, being the consummate adventure instructor he is, doesn’t just blast up the nearest hill and show off his off-road prowess as soon as the cameras start rolling. Aboard his heavily-packed and protected BMW R 1250 GS, Wessels starts with the basics, promoting viewers to practice on more welcoming terrain and gradients. The West 38 Moto man knows that how and why are just as important as where, and lays firm foundations for riders to gradually improve upon.
