Beginners Guide to Offroading

So, what is off-roading? In simple terms, off-roading is the activity of driving or riding a vehicle on unsurfaced roads or tracks, such as sand, gravel, mud, snow, rocks, or any other natural terrain. These can constitute of purpose-built tracks, a barren piece of land, or a trail through woods, a goat path, or even a jungle.

Super fun day at @bigrockdirtpark during the @tankupadv Trail Heads ride. I opted to rent an Xpulse from Bigrock
A bunch of us stayed back to camp at the @bigrockdirtpark @tankupadv
The morning after!!!
A camp out at @tankupadv is not done till we do some light painting
Objects behind you are closer than they appear. In this case @abijithmrao breathing down my neck, who managed a podium finish after overtaking me TWICE, twice because he had a fall at the rock garden.
Somedays, you just click!
A dirty motorcycle is a clean motorcycle. Tell me otherwise!!!
New Blog Post - Over the past 30,000km I have put my Zedling suspension to the test across various terrains, including the treacherous roads of Zanskar, Spiti, the trails of Western Ghats as well as competing in a few off-road events. Read about it at leavetheroad.in
I think I was more nervous during the recce run than the race day. Getting familiar with the track. Gathering inputs, even deciding on what I wanted to do with the abs (my motorcycle doesn't have switchable abs) went a long way in gathering the confidence to ride well next day.

One more from the @bigrockdirtpark Trail Attack V
It was fun chasing the big bikes, who were mid way through their 5 laps when we started our leg. It was a pleasure riding with you @taming_the_tiger
What am I thinking? Wrong answers only!!!
This lot of pictures is special.
30,000km done in the present setup.
The last weekend at @bigrockdirtpark Trail Attack V just went by in a jiffy. The experience was so good and the folks at #BigRockDirtPark , @nikhil.balakrishna @ashokgeorgy @suhaskallavi @vijendrabheema and the rest, did a brilliant execution of the whole event, from designing the track to smooth functioning of the race weekend. I was comfortable, being out of my comfort zone, if that makes any sense 😅.
Never thought that I'd love an enduro dirt race so much. I know that I could have done a lot better, had I trained and practiced prior to this. @bigrockdirtpark has shown me a potential I didn't know I have, through Trail Attack. I'm definitely looking at improving my skills and coming back for the next edition of Trail Attack.
Even though I ride a lot of trails, I was totally out of my comfort zone here. I am used to sedate trails mostly. Trail Attack, my second go at it, is something quite different. The pace is a lot faster. My best lap was around 11 minutes on a 5km Enduro Trail track. I came 6th overall in my category. And I'm HAPPY!
And the photos have started coming in. Thank you @rkdphotography for this capture. I'm already looking forward to more time in this format.
What a cracker of a day this was! Back at @bigrockdirtpark Trail Attack, in it's fifth edition. Very glad with my performance, a big jump from my last standing. To be honest, I surprised myself with some of the things I pulled off today.
