Don't be THAT rider. Adventure riding gives us incredible freedom — but that freedom disappears the moment trails get closed. In this video, I break down the unwritten rules every ADV rider should know: why spring gravel roads are more fragile than you think (the "jelly layer" effect), how to ride in groups without losing friends, and the leave-no-trace principles that keep our trails open for everyone.
🔑 Key topics:
* Why riding thawing gravel roads destroys them from the inside out
* The rubberband fix for group rides with mixed skill levels
* Dust etiquette that actually matters
* Leave no trace — what it really means on a motorcycle
* How one bad rider can close a trail for all of us
Ride like you want to come back. 🤙
