  Here’s what you did RIGHT! &nbsp;You convinced this 60 year old rookie to bite the bullet and go to BC and Dallas and crew at XT/ADV last year. &nbsp;This was a HUGE financial commitment for me and I was panicked that I spent a ton of money foolishly ….. until I went. &nbsp; <br>I just got the email from them today with my airline reservations for NEXT summer’s “level 2” class. &nbsp;In fact , my ENTIRE LEVEL 1 class from last summer , decided to go back together this coming summer for Level 2! &nbsp;It was THAT good. &nbsp;And what you say about jumpstarting your training was SPOT ON! &nbsp;There is no way I would have decided to go for it last year , without having seen your videos , descriptions, and recommendations. &nbsp; So THANK YOU for that! &nbsp; Love your stuff. &nbsp; Huge fan. &nbsp;Keep it up please. &nbsp;I know it’s lots of work and I’m sure you get burnt out sometimes. &nbsp;Just know we &nbsp;appreciate it!!!!!

  my only regret is not starting sooner. &nbsp;This type of riding is lots of fun and re-energized my riding.

  I get the distinct impression that you must have been a very competent and cherished teacher. Your teaching skills show here and I very much appreciate them. I&apos;m glad you had the courage to venture out into youtube land. Kind regards from Brasilia, Brazil.

  You didn&apos;t fail, you learned. One of the things you learned was that there was a better way to learn. I think you had fun along the way. Thank you for sharing.

  Doing the Norcal BDR solo is something i have regrets about. The trip was great and i didn&apos;t have any issues but I was surprised how much anxiety i had being by myself. &nbsp;I&apos;m not the kind of person to put myself out there and look for people to ride with. That&apos;s probably a bigger regret. This was a really good video by the way. I think a lot of people will relate to this.

  Solo Riding on 2016 CRF1000 - Crash and Unable to move the bike alone in deep mud rut. &nbsp; No Cell service or In Reach device. &nbsp;Nobody on the trail until 3 hours. &nbsp;Thank Heavens for 2 young teenagers that eventually passed on the trail and got me upright again!

  I love this commentary. Your awkward &quot;noob time&quot; occurred in the recent past, so you can still remember how daunting and difficult learning to ride off-road motorcycles is. There are MANY barriers to entry! Most child learners have no recollection of how difficult this is, compounded by the fact that we&apos;re fragile older adults with responsibility and a fully formed prefrontal cortex. You can spot child learners when they say, &quot;Just twist it!&quot;. 😎

  My biggest regret is getting away from riding after high school when I went to work. I was scared I would hurt myself and not be able to work. But I quit, started this channel with my dad, got back into riding, and now I enjoy it more than ever! A lot of that is thanks to you, Dork. So thank you! I&apos;m headed to Oregon this weekend to check out a Tenere!
