Sudden loss of traction is one of the most dangerous situations motorcycle riders can encounter—whether it’s wet pavement, loose gravel, or mud on the trail. In this Rider Skills Plus episode, expert instructor Clinton Smout from Smart Adventures shares four essential riding techniques to help you stay upright and in control when the surface turns slippery.

We then speak with ex-racer and IMS Products owner Scott Wright about how your foot pegs—one of the most overlooked contact points—can dramatically affect control and confidence, especially in low-traction situations.

Whether you ride adventure bikes, dual-sport, or street motorcycles, these tips will help you handle unpredictable riding conditions with more skill and confidence.

RIDER SKILLS PLUS: 4 Steps to Mastering Slippery Crossings

Noraly Schoenmaker was living a comfortable life in the Netherlands, building a career as a geologist, when her world was suddenly turned upside down. For some, heartbreak might mean retreating inward, but Noraly chose something radically different. She walked away from the life she knew, packed up what she could, and set off to explore the world on a motorcycle. It wasn’t a wild whim — her work had already taken her to far-flung places like Panama and Indonesia, exploring gold mines and studying sand. But this time, it was her journey. Over 20,000 miles later, through countries like Iraq, Iran, and India, she found freedom, connection, and perspective — one road, one meal, one encounter at a time.

Noraly Schoenmaker is the creator of the hugely popular Itchy Boots YouTube channel. What began as a solo motorcycle trip has evolved into a global journey, with Noraly riding through remote regions, wild landscapes, and across entire continents — from South America to North America, and from Europe to Africa. Her background in biology and geology adds a thoughtful layer to her travels, and when she’s not riding, she calls the Netherlands home. Noraly is also the author of FREE RIDE.

Itchy Boots - Noraly Schoenmaker

When Bernd and Anchen Sass’s children moved abroad, the couple decided it was time to start living the dream they had discussed for decades. In their mid-50s, they left behind stable careers and set off on motorcycles—despite Anchen having no riding experience and deep fears about learning. Over several seasons of travel, they’ve crossed tens of thousands of kilometres through Africa and Europe, adapting their gear, pace, and mindset along the way. In this episode, they share what it’s truly like to make that kind of transition later in life, how they handle setbacks, and why travel, especially by motorcycle, has helped them rediscover a sense of purpose.

The Road Ahead: Reinventing Life on Two Wheels

It’s been 20 years since Long Way Round changed the face of motorcycle travel—and inspired a generation to dream bigger. That original journey, sparked by a simple idea, captured lightning in a bottle with its raw spirit, sweeping landscapes, and the magic of two friends chasing the horizon on massive BMWs. Then came Long Way Down and Long Way Up. In their latest series, Long Way Home, Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman trade the extremes for something refreshingly real—a ride from Scotland to England via the long way around. On vintage bikes, they wind their way through more than 15 countries, rediscovering the pure joy of the open road. It’s not just a ride—it’s the kind of ride we all dream of, and it certainly looks like Long Way Home will inspire the next wave of riders, just as Long Way Round once did.

The Soul of the Ride: Rediscovering Adventure with Charley Boorman

Steve Zuschin first discovered Rally for Rangers at an ADV event, was drawn in by the mission, and unexpectedly found himself on a plane to Bhutan within weeks. He recounts the challenges of that first rally—from navigating muddy mountain roads in the Himalayas on Royal Enfields to racing tight schedules. It was an unforgettable introduction to a cause that left a lasting impression.

Riding Bhutan With Rally for Rangers

Jess and Greg Stone set out to ride around the world in 18 months. They aimed to prove that their dog gear could withstand the wear and tear of daily use while riding both on and off the road, and to raise $100,000 for a non-profit, Girl Up. Three years later, after facing injury, loss, and thousands of kilometers throughout the Americas, they’ve realized that their journey has become much more than a motorcycle trip. In this episode, they reflect on how slowing down, exploring, and sharing the road with their dog Whimsy has reshaped their route and lives.

Rider and Travel Stories That Made Us: RAW Rewind

In this episode, we’re joined by world-renowned motorcycle instructor and KTM rider Chris Birch for a deep dive into rider technique, mindset, and how modern bikes—and training—are changing the game. Chris challenges the blanket advice that riders should always stand off-road, sharing real-world scenarios where sitting makes more sense. He also breaks down how rider education has evolved, why modern suspension can be a double-edged sword for learning, and how electronic aids may shape the next generation of riders. Whether you're just getting started or looking to fine-tune your skills, this conversation is packed with insights that’ll change the way you think about riding.

What We Think We Know About Riding—And What Chris Birch Actually Teaches

Chris Smith had long made a tradition of planning annual motorcycle adventures with friends and family. The year before, their trip was cut short when several people dropped out due to various challenges. This time, with a smaller group, they pushed farther—riding through active wildfires on their way to the end of Quebec’s remote Trans-Taiga Road. After a night camping at the Caniapiscau Reservoir, they began the ride back toward Radisson as the smoke thickened and the sky darkened. Pressing on, they discovered the road south had been closed due to the fires. Stranded for a couple of days, they made the most of it—sharing meals, swapping stories, and strengthening the bonds that make these adventures unforgettable. This wasn’t just another ride. It was a reminder of why they go: for the adventure, the challenge, and the connection.
