Who else watched this even tho they’re not a beginner just to see if they do anything wrong?

When I first started 1 tip that I was told was getting fit, got into running and went to the gym, I use to be 275 pounds, now I'm 220 and the difference was huge, I use to struggle standing for a duration, now I have no issues standing, I also notice the extra performance in my bike because of the weight drop😂🤟🏼

That fall in to the cactus made my nether regions tingle.

At first I thought: nothing here... blah, blah. Second half of this video made me realize this is an amazingly good video. Thanks, I'm an off-road beginner, and you have really helped me learn.

Great tips. Eyes up...see the line, make it happen. Look down, go down. Trust the bike to do what is was made to do.

Tip number 5 is great. You can use this as a life tip as well. Don't focus on the bad stuff!! Focus on the good things and the possible great roads ahead!

Oh god I almost had a heart attack when I saw him crash into that yuca plant. I’ve crashed into one of them before and I swear, it’s no different from a bush of knives.

after watching 10 others, this was definitely the most informative and helpful video

I started riding in 1974. My dad got me into it, and now I'm getting my son into it. This is a GREAT video. It sounds just like my talking to my boy. I sent him this video... Maybe if he sees someone else other than his dad telling him this, he'll take the advice a little more seriously. Thanks for posting this fantastic, informational piece! Looking forward to more!

I can’t stress this enough. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR GEAR. The one time I didn’t wear it, I crashed and landed on the exhaust. And I got a 3rd degree burn on the back of my knee.

The matrix with Jarvis was amazing!

I'm still a beginner. I was riding on a hardpack dirt trails with rock here and there. I was standing and going about 20 mph. I was not looking far enough ahead and my front tire hit a 10 inch tall rock. It knocked me off the trail but because I was standing, I was able to recover. Looking ahead is extremely important. Thanks for you videos!

TIP: Make sure you're in decent physical shape, it will make a huge difference. Riding a dirt bike entails using many muscles, proper endurance, and good stamina for hours of pain free riding.

As a young man I raced motocross, plus rode a street bike as my primary transportation. My truck(s) were always low mileage vehicles because of my street bike. I got hit by a car, healed up, said "screw this" and retired solely to 4 wheels. Recently I acquired a DR650 to get into the dual sport game. I always liked the dirt more anyway. My primary focus is safety, then learning and fun. I enjoyed the advice you offered in this video. From my past experience, I felt it was solid advice. Unfortunately my previous experience is no more (use it or lose it), so I'm more than glad to listen to you. Thanks for the video. I can use the guidance as I start all over. Thanks again.

As a new rider this really helped. Thank you!

Grew up riding ATVs but finally breaking down to bike. Honestly, all of these I learned from ATV riding but gives me far more confidence in trying to switch to two wheels hearing them in this context.

I’m a beginner .. just bought my 2020 Honda CRF150RB. And I feel like riding a friggin rocket . I’m learning something new everyday. And all I gotta say about this video is; THANK YOU! Excellent material .. absolutely helpful. Thank you , Sir. Greetings from Chile.

Excellent advice, I have been riding for sixty years and have lost count of the Oh F--k moments I have survived. Survived by looking where I wanted to go and letting the bike do it.

Hi joe i just want to say wow wow ,, thanks so much for your tips i only just got a bike 2 weeks ago yz 250,, and im only just learning at near to 60 years,,i put all your tips in to place went out riding for 2 hours,, i never ever thought i would stand up,, and i put my gear on , and no i never crashed ,,, i did all you said in the vid ,, and it all just flowed,, rhankyou for your tips ,, i did not have to wait 20 years to learn it my self,,, kind regards wayne

Great advice, not only for beginners, but for anyone that rides. Not standing up seems to be the lazy man's way to ride and we all do it. I really need to work on that!

I was trying to get my grandson into riding ..he says he know all about how to..hes been playing some vidieo game for yrs. WOW blew me away ..he didn't even want to start on like a mini .amazing how deeply they've been brain washed by it all. And SAD...HE ACTUALLY THOUGHT HE COULD DO BACKFLIPS N THE WHOOPS AT HIGH SPEED..he was 10 then after the 1st 5mins ..he was totally humbled ..at least he stuck with it thou ..now well still abit brainwashed but I'm working on it thanks gr8 vids

Wow that was actually really good. Not only did you give good tips and advise, you also took your time and went at a perfect pace for people to understand, and also you made sure your stuff was correct and made sure people understood. i was watching other tips and tricks video's and they just flew threw it and expected everyone to know what was happening, so you did a very good job. Thank you for helping me become a rider.

Thanks for the tips man. Both the Mrs and I are looking at bikes right now. Can’t wait to start riding dirt

Love this video, finally someone has clarified the in-between movements when shifting weight. Love it

that's a great thing you're doing with videos like this. You never stop learning in this sport, thank you i'm, happy to sun to your channel. I'm 54 and getting back in the saddle after a 15 year break from it. MX is an awesome, grueling sport.

Best video about beguinners so far!!! I can identify some issues that Im doing, next step is riding to improve! Keep all the good work! Ride safe!💪👍

Proud of you brother! From over 20 years ago.....look where you are! Great video and perfect advice!

Great Video, well edited, very informative. I like the list format. Watched it with my 11 year old who is learning how to ride. Thank you!

Thank you for these very good and useful TIPS, it helped me a lot and I improved all the level of driving! You have support by my side.

You did a great job with this video. Me and my kid made some notes that will absolutely help his improvement. First year of racing and left with a 3rd place finish at the TX AMA State Championship last weekend. We were refreshing on some easy tips for getting better at riding and came up with some great things to work on during the off-season. Thanks for your contribution to the dirt biking community.

Awesome video, thanks for the tips. I just started riding again at 31 and hadn't been on a bike since I was 14. I'm getting my son into it and this definitely helped me.

Excellent advise....and congrats on your new journey!!!

I have been riding for 30 years on the road but just recently have started riding trails and dirt. I really appreciate the tips and advice and have some good stuff to work on going forward. Thanks and ride safe

I completely agree with you I never compromise with cheap quality and low cost gear when it comes to anything like biking, skateboarding, etc.

This is pretty much exactly on point with the things I go over with my son 👌🏽👍🏼

Thanks man, I just got my first bike so good detailed videos are golden for me. Thank you!

This actually really helped. I find myself more confident and even gassing around like im a pro. I havnt had a problem with terraining in a while. Great Tips!!!

Watched this a couple of times. Should probably watch it more. Been practicing these skills the last couple of months. Thanks.

I'm a new-to-dirt(NTD) rider and these are great tips. been watching tons on vids and have already dropped and flipped my 400exc... 😂. #1.. absolutely stand up, you can definitely control the bike with weight pressure on either peg(try it!). I have already gotten used to lightening up the front by keeping my butt as far back to go over or down rocky areas. thanks for the great tips!

Man this video helped me get started with my new Ronco so much. Great wise advice thanks!

I am new to riding and have watched several videos and you are spot on others so great job and thank you.

Really good job and advice for everyone! "seat time" takes you where you wanna be for sure! keep the good work up Great Vid

Totally agree with riding in different terrain. I live in the desert and ride in the mountains during summer time, yr round riding to me is the best👍👍

I agree 100%. Also this video was very well edited man. Good job!!

at 51yrs old best damned advice on you tube. got a spanking new 2016 te 300, only 60 hours on that beast, going out today to make it 65 -thanks for real usable advice.

good job... great tips for us who are just starting out to learn to ride on the dirt ...after street riding for a number years....

Thanks very much! I've been riding street for a while now and have just bought my first dirt bike and wanted some tips on riding better. Great video. Picked up quite a few things.

Just bought my 16 year old son his first dirt bike & this video was extremely helpful. Thanks

First time viewing your channel! hilarious editing man keep it up

Thanks man, as someone who hasn't learnt all of the basics, this is really helpful. So thankyou, and I'll be sure to use these tips next time I'm riding.

Great video. Solid fundamentals. Especially liked that you hammered standing up.

great tips. I've been riding for 8 years I highly recommend this video.

Watching with my 9 year old who just got his first 96’ KX 60, and I’ve only been on the KLR for about 8 months... Extremley applicable video. Thanks for making it and posting it.

"Standing up is the most important part" *Laughs in 110 4 Stroke*

Thank you just getting back into bikes after several years of being out of it, & this was great information man !!!

Joe great vid!! One small point I would have added. Make sure you set up your suspension. i.e. sag! I see a lot of people out there that look like they are having a difficult time and it all stems around bad suspension set up. Although I have been a MX racer most of my life and now doing off road, I needed some help in set up. Did a couple of classes with Destry Abbott. He also clued me in on sand and the rock stuff. Keep up the great work!!! See you next year if not sooner!!!

That edit made me Sub and like, love enjoying the good comedic edits once and a while :)

Newbee here. Thank you for the tips. The standing up is the hardest thing for me I think. I've sat down and ridden Harleys for years, and just got my first dirt burner. Such a different animal. I'm crashing a lot as you said, but it's been a real hoot learning.

Love this video. I just bought my first dirt bike , 1986 cr125cc and this really helped. Been riding other toys but I need some input on dirt bike riding and this is perfect. Yes I can work the clutch (barely)

Loved this!!!! I ride road motorcycles and looking into getting a dirt bike and loved these tips!!! Can’t wait to get one and start practicing!!

Good Job! I agree, stand up is # 1 and #2 is look where you want to go. I know only to well the end result of looking where I don't want to go!

I’ve got an experience day on Friday. Super excited but pretty nervous cause it’ll be the first time I’ve ever rode a motorcycle. Been working out for the past 6 months getting ready for it, hoping I’ll be able to do the whole day and get my moneys worth lol. I’ll definitely keep these tips in mind. However, I will be taught on the day but still, I think it’s good to have some insight to it before the day. Great video, thank you.

awesome. Just got my first dirt bike yesterday and this is some helpful stuff. I've ridden motorcycles and quads but this is a different game all together.

Just found your page. I'm a beginner dirt bike rider. Your video is excellent. You sound like you have solid riding experience. I hope to develop good skills with no bad habits. Looking forward to learning more from you.

The most helpful video I have watched! Thank you so much!

These are good tips. Last time I rode I saw 3 guys riding together. One had sneakers one with work boots. Even entry level boots won’t protect you. $500. Is nothing compared to the cost of broken bones in your foot. But most people just don’t get that. Work boots or cheep entry level boots equal broken bones. And yes you can fall and break bones at slow speeds.

Have been along time ! Your tips are spot ON !

Fantastic! Clutch control is something I never considered until lately. It was all throttle...my key instruction to new riders always was: don't focus on the obstacle in front of you, focus on where you want the bike to go!

Enjoyable and very useful video. Look forward to putting your tips into practice

Looking forward to learning, thanks for the great tips -- I'll be coming back to this!!!

10:01. Read my mind. That's what I used to do out of fear of falling. Great stuff!

I'm riding dirt and street bikes for 40 years now and these 5 tips are "right-on"... So Joe, keep up the good work!!!

Excellent vid. I've been riding since I was 12, but my girlfriend just started having bought her first bike a TW200. I'll be sharing this vid with her even though I have already ran her through all of this.

Super great video Joe! Very informative for beginners!

New rider here (KX450) and really found your video helpful. Subbed to the channel. Looking forward to more content like this! Thanks!!

I scrolled to see if there are haters criticizing this video, please that all comments were positive. The tips presented here are fine. Much more to learn.

Thanks for your help Joe

This video is one of the best for riding tips. Thank you

Thanks for the help man I really needed some tips because I'm just getting back into riding so I just wanna say thank you!😃🏍💨

Great too on riding rocks! Just encountered this yesterday. I am new to dirt bikes, so this video is appreciated

Thanks bro, just what I needed. Looking forward to getting into riding

Just bought my first dirt bike ever tonight. Been riding road bikes for about 45 years. Thank you for these tips. Everybody keeps saying stand up. This is going to take a little gettin use to.

Very informative-exchanging my Sym 200 Jet 14 scooter for a small off-roader-just informed my wife about it=happy. I am 68 years of age and completed a scooter trip around S Africa earlier this year with a friend-now time for some gravel roads and mountain passes-thanks for the good advice

"HEAD AND EYES!!" You will hear this over and over should you ever plan to be a LEO Motors Unit! Joe, solid advice! I can tell from watching your earlier videos to see how you have improved. Nothing beats saddle time, the more saddle time the better the rider!!!

Very good tips!! I learned some great things here.

Great video man, keep it up!

i dont have a clutch, i have a automatic dirt bike and i just got it yesterday, this video gives me alot of knowledge of what i still need though, keep it up

This was very helpful! Thank you for the great content

Great video, lots of value. Way more than 5 tips. Thank you 👍

Great video for beginners and experienced alike. I'm an experienced road biker, but off roading is a very different story. Very new to off-road and being short I struggle. Trying to conquer the nerves and get out as much as possible. Great mantras to ride by, so thank you.

Thank you sooooo much!!!!! You have helped me to ride better but to also feel beter while riding

Good tips! My boy and I appreciate them!

Fantastic content, well done.

Started riding dirt bikes when I was 10 through my 20's I'm now 56, so I've gone many years and found your tips very helpful reminder. I saw somewhere that riders who crash the most are people with 20 year gaps in their riding because they think they know what they are doing, but your older, weaker, and are not as comfortable on a bike as you used to be. Just bought a 2010 KTM 450 EXC champions, so I will use your tips and try not to be one of those old farts who thinks he can still clear a triple and case it.

THis is an excellent video bro..... season riders shld watch this fr time to time

Thx, getting my first dual sport tomorrow, drz400, very helpful video

JRS - I've been racing or riding dirt bikes off and on since I was 5 years old - over 30 years. These are great reminders are great no matter if you are a not newbie or like me you drift in and out of the sport.

Very helpful! Thanks Joe!

I started riding a week ago and let me tell you this dirtbike nonsense is rough on the body!!! 😂 I went on my first trails after a couple times practicing in the yard (yes that was a dumb rooky decision lol) I banged up my elbow and freak accident happened where I burned my leg on the exhaust. But it was a blast!!!!!! These tips helped so much thank you. The worst part for me is building up my confidence that the bike can handle the terrain. So this really helped thank you

Good video! I agree, wear all your gear all the time and buy the best you can afford! One I got is.... maintenance - take care of your bike and it will take care of you!
