Awesome. We used to have one of those in our riding area. Everyone liked it. One weekend we were camping and riding by the circle rut having a few beers. One guy says, "You feel drunk when you come out." This other guy says, "I'm drunk when I go in." Lol. We all had a good laugh.

Thanks for helping get our videos higher up the rankings! Don't bother asking for a cut of the profits though. Keep up the great work mate, you are really helping us out at the moment!!!!

That's awesome! I remember doing that on my KX 500 back in the 80's! We had a lot of places to ride back then. We had a circle track that was quite a bit bigger than the one in the video. It was a perfect circle with 4 foot vertical walls. We could get 2 or 3 bikes going at the same time. I remember being in 3rd gear wide open on the big KX! I remember passing a guy on a RM 125 once! 😎 🤘 ☠️

You know, you are right mate. From now on I'm going to teach my students to conquer corner ruts by "keeping your feet on the pegs, hover over the seat, and gently lean in" as you originally wrote (even though the top riders use the techniques I mention). From what I now understand you are an internet guru who used to be able to ride fast in a straight line, or some claim to fame like that wasn't it? Anyway, YOU WIN mate! Please take your rants about incorrect technique somewhere else now......

It a great way to learn excellent corner rut technique (exact same skills), and definitely to gain the commitment to lean it over and get on the gas hard instead of hesitating which a lot of riders have a huge issue with. But probably the main reason is because it is such an enjoyable feeling to rip around and conquer it - isn't getting that buzz and satisfaction the main reason why we all ride dirtbikes????
@DirtWiseRidingSchool12 жыл бұрын
Yes mate, I did stay at the front of the seat - check on the "overhead" shots and you will see that there is only about 2 inches of seat showing. If you go any further forward you can't get enough bike lean angle because your thigh keeps the handlebars propped up.

If you get down deep enough to where the sand is possibly more compact, and moist, to help hold its shape, then yes. It's going to be hard though to establish and keep a solid wall to support the excessive lean angle.

Yes John, keep your foot above the ground when starting out, but once you tip it over past a certain point (a very significant lean angle) you have to then slide your foot across the ground for support. When you get the bike all the way over there is no where else for your foot/leg to go except for being up higher and out in front of you. Have fun with it mate!

And young people, let's clarify that the "inside line" is indeed a corner rut. Our friend Eric here seems to have a real issue at acknowledging that. Whether you make a Circle Rut or not, it is a great way for you to master all of the key points of the technique that RC uses whether he is ripping around the inside corner rut, or railing the outside berm and being slow and stupid....

@nickshehan8911 жыл бұрын
The purpose of putting your foot out is to weight the front tire. It helps the front tire sit a little more. Most of your cornering should be done with your suspension in its stroke. The idea of the foot up high(NOT out to the side) can be to weight the front and keep the suspension in its stoke or just simply raising it through a deep rut. Sitting on your gas tank will also help weight the front tire as well, But once through the apex and accelerating you should have your foot back on the peg.

@Kosh59211 жыл бұрын
Proper riding technique is keeping your feet on the pegs as much as you can. Only taking your foot of when you need to. Your foot should never drag on the ground. Then if you are railing a berm or a rut that fast your foot should be out in front of the ground with the toes pointed in towards the forks.
