I hope you're enjoying the Series! Seven episodes to go! Tag us in your practice on social media! @richlarsen511 and @ircmoto 🙌 We hope you're feeling the progression!

This series is pure gold! I can’t believe we’re getting all this for free! Keep up the good work, love the content Rich!

Practicing these drills on a beaten up DR200. Not allowing myself to buy a new bike until I'm comfortable with everything I've learned from your videos. Thanks very much.

I like how you explained the circle towards the end of the video, a lot of people stay in the comfort zone (myself included) and don't even try something harder. I've been trying harder things on my bike and my old KDX surprises me often. I can actually do a lot more than I thought I could

Another amazing lesson! I'd swear in episode 10 the dog is gonna hop on your bike and show us everything he has learned. 💯

At 60 yrs I truly enjoy you doing these drills I have forgotten I think more than I remember lol you are helping me ba a better and safer rider even w 50 yes of experience thank you.i am blessed by having 2 grandsons to ride with and showing them these drills they are really improving every time the do drills do one about stopping as fast as you can to avoid death lol good work thank you

Your videos and drills are awesome. As a new dirt bike rider, I cannot thank you enough for the content you produce. Extremely helpful and fun to practice. You are one of the best at explaining the “why” behind what you do. Keep the videos coming!

These are pretty great. Learning up here in Midway already way better than I should be at 1 month.

Thanks for all of these videos man! I’m new to riding and I don’t ever really feel comfortable on my klx300r when on the trails unless it’s flat. I always feel like I’m one step from falling and I’m going to practice all of these once the weather here in NY warms up!

Good job and fun! Great guys!

Loving these lessons.

As a brand new rider these videos are a great roadmap to begin getting comfortable without simply taking off and learning the hard way. thank you

Respect for not cuttin' the video, both of you are great !

Really good stuff, thank you!

You’re awesome Rich! Many thanks for sharing with us brilliant lessons ❤

I am really enjoying this, lots of drills to build my confidence. Thanks!!

That 10 episodes series is a brilliant idea! I am stuck in snow right now burt I cant wait to start practicing... Thanks a million!

Another great one. Can't wait to try these. You guys have good 'chemistry'. You both make it fun.

I have been taking notes and plan to go out and practice your techniques soon. Thanks!!

Thank you very much for your video, congratulations again for your series, you help us a lot to improve.

Love these videos!! Great series. Very helpful thank you

These are so good, love watching someone try it as well, helps to understand the challenges.

Thank you for these vids

This is a beautiful series for a beginner like me... Thank you so much... Learning a lot from the videos.... Step by step is helping a lot 👍

Awesome teaching and fantastic mindset fella. Respect from the UK. Keep doing what you're doing.

Thank you very much. I'm really looking forward to practicing all of the drills in this series. 35 years of street riding cruisers and new to dual sport, this is just what I was looking for.🤗

Great episode (as always) Rich. As a kid I didn't have a dirtbike so I entertained myself with the balance drills you're teaching. I'm middle-aged now and they've come in very handy, allowing me to do risky maneuvers while avoiding injury when things don't go as planned. Good job Rich and Mark, you're cultivating talent and growing the sport. I won't forget who taught me when it's time to buy tires.

Thanks for this amazing series, great to practice along... Ieep riding 👊🏾✊🏾

Thanks for doing this series. These drills would be fun exercise time in the backyard. And excellent practice. I have uphill/downhill areas that I can use to make different variations.

Great video, awesome and applicable even on a trials bike. I hope there will be one session in the series on bailing off the bike safely when things go wrong. I do love that you covered stepping off the bike using the peg, it is a good habit to get into swinging a leg over the bike getting on and off while on the peg rather than waiting until things go really sideways and trying to get feet on the ground. I practice this periodically after watching a Pat Smage video on practicing dismounts. I used to do this effortlessly as a kid on my push-pedal bike, even riding around standing on one pedal and on one side of the bike!

These tutorials are just awesome...many, many thanks 😊

Enjoying the series, utilised some of your teachings out on a track today and was better for it, thanks!

Thank you, I did a session in the front yard with snow, Lots more practice is needed on my end, love it!!!!!

Top video Rich and props to Mark and Trail dog 😂😍love your vids... A fan from South Africa

Great content Rich, thank you for putting together such thoughtfully crafted series! I am new to enduro - 35 hrs on the clock, out of which 30.5 hrs spent doing drills from your series... Some of the exercises also apply to MTB and have helped me improve my static balance on the bicycle.

I love watching these training videos and hopefully I'll find a way to practice soon even with the snow on the ground we have here 🙃. Instructional and fun! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for doing these vids. Huge help!

These episodes are gold. You’re a great instructor. Thank you.

These vids are amazing,thankyou for showing us this valuable knowledge.

Mark did great!!!! Thanks for this one!

Good idea to mic Mark up so that we can hear him better. The banter between you guys is fun to watch

Grazie...spiegazioni molto belle ed esercizi utili per migliorare il controllo della moto...sei molto bravo come pilota e come insegnante...👍

Great series, very useful to see this progression with Mark

Thank you!

This is great stuff guys. Awesome, thankyou

This is an awesome series Rich, I've been trying to explain a lot of this to one of my riding buddies but your explanations along with the actual video of it being put to use is so much better. I sent him the link and know that both of us will put these lessons to use. Thanks for putting this series together. We will be seeing Mark lead you up one of your rocky cliff runs up the canyon when it thaws out right??? Lol

Awesome Rich! Need you to come out to Jersey for some lessons in the pine barrens. Happy New Year Brother!!

Thanks a bunch. Ill be 52 years old applying these tips so I can do my first hare scramble with my 16 year old in march. I appreciate every tip you give us!!

Rich, you are the absolute BEST teacher by far! I also love your passion and I really get a kick out of your laugh. Wish I could ride with you! Oh, love Roamer too!

Thank you, again! Just keeps getting better!😎👌👍 Oh, and love the dogs cameo

another great video -- nice to see someone who has clearly analyzed and questioned every aspect of what you are doing on the bike -- you should be called the Professor!

These are truly great and so helpful! I’m doing some of these on my Africa Twin, and some other ones on my CT125 first and then moving up to the ATAS…simply b/c it’s too freakin heavy.

Awesome tips and made fun with Marc and Rich...

Mark had me rollin!😂😂. Another dialed vid! Thanks guys

This is money, I'm adding that step over move into my static balance practice 🚀

thanks a lot for sharing all your videos....for me as a beguiner have no price, love your dog....🙌✊🙂

Thank you for taking the time to explain the basics Plenty of videos showing advanced techniques and terrain. Unfortunately I see many riders at our facility trying to ride well past their abilities because good videos like yours were not available or the videos are shown in a way that a new rider could grasp

Looks fun

Thanks for this. As a short rider on a 1250GSA it gives me so much to work toward on balance practice.

Excellent. We do this counter lean of bike with snow biking

always learning always improving..

Awesome, you have to add an eleventh video, one minute videos of all ten vids for practicing.

love all your videos

I wish your videos were available 15 years ago when I started riding off road! Thanks!!

I'm still working on the track stand!! LOL. All joking aside these drills are going to take a lot of practice to achieve!! Thank you so much for giving me something to do on my motorcycle that takes very little space and can be done at home!!

Wow it's sooo pleasant to try out your drills and realize I can do them with ease :) The years of practice pay off 😁 Btw it would be really interesting if you could not only show the basic drill but also its advanced and even extreme level for more experienced riders. For example for the previous clutch control drill, advanced level would be going up and down with front wheel in the air, and extreme level would be having both feet on the pegs... 😉

06:20 I'm like that's so me😂😂😂

Winter here in UK, so I hung a rope from the garage rafters to the centre of the handlebars and spent several days trying static balancing. The huge benefit is getting comfy with mounting/dismounting on the pegs using body weight over the centre. Huge confidence gains constantly being unable to static balance, catching the fall repetitively (without the rope acting). I find I'm addicted to getting up on the pegs and shifting the bike up off the side stand. The natural stance is bum out leaning forwards. #WinterExercise.

Rich, all your content and this series in particular is awesome! I started with the"indoor" drills first, as all tracks are closed during winter. And riding in the wild is not an option here in Germany... BTW, I won't tell my friends about your helpful and funny tutorials. I rather surprise them by being more skilled on our next ride, haha! Best wishes from Berlin

This drill is great also for safety, getting off the bike quickly is the best way to avoid getting hurt , will try this for sure

Thanks for putting out a quality product. Much appreciated. Gotta go…. Back to my practices.

I just saw your story on Facebook about IRC firing you if you don't hit 50k subs. If you don't hit the 50k by the end of today it's not because of you or your content, your guides are hands down by far the most explained and thorough on KZfaq! IRC's loss! I always try and drill your tech iques into my head while I'm riding, you've personally helped my growth Keep at it chief 🤙 Good luck and happy new year

Im a bit late 😂. Less goo rich larsen pumped the series is goin bro !!

Great stuff! Love your videos! The audio volume seems a bit low though. Thanks again! Keep on shredding 🤙

Killer views in the vid!! Wondering if you can eventually cover what stretches are good to do prior to a hard training or race. I for one (as well as nearly everyone else I know) just gears up and head out to start riding. Proper stretching of course takes some time and no one seems to want to do it. Just wondering what you do (if anything) and if you would share that advise.

Love this stuff. I ride 95% moto and race purely moto, but bike skill is bike skill no matter the discipline. & when I do go trail riding being able to double blip up and over fallen trees is so fun

just going to call you Professor ..very good training aid ....cant wait to try with my xt 250

Nice video! I can see how this would improve static balance and clutch/throttle control 👍

Love the videos! I’ll be practicing on a supermoto… one thing tho: I noticed the volume fades as you turn to your right. Maybe adjust the mic to the center, and lower if it’s too loud on the collar.

I am absolutely loving this. Thank you guys soooo much for time and effort in sharing this knowledge. I'm a 54 year old Ozzie and I feel what you are teaching here is incredible. And you guys are sooo fucking funny.....bonus. Thanks heaps. Mark

Awesome training videos, thanks man!! I want to get your opinion on the power valve springs, which would you say is better for clutch control, or just exercise with what the bike in. Thanks again!

7:02 Did him dirty with the no hands version here.

Holy cow. Rich put out a video on something I'm not terrible at! Now do it sideways on an incline!

That second exercise has to be really hard. I've never tried it, but I will. I can only say, I tried that while I had my bike on side stand, and I still have a feeling sometimes that the bike will fall over.

😅👍 Thanks

I do that a lot probably 52 years also ride on one peg in tight places but I do drop a lot of times. Yeah hard at first. I learned at young age when I could not get on standing still bike was a little tall.

thanks for all the content provided and this series in particular, you have been #1 enduro coach worldwide with no competition for some years, I completed EP 1 & 2 exercises here in Poland - they are well suited for winter time, have one basic question regarding foot placement, you say "balls of both feet on the pegs", what about reaching rear brake in this stance?

Yeah gotta keep it fun (and break balls a little) lol

It is super hard and I did it! Thank you for this series! I know I’m improving.

I know a few short inseam riders. They're all over 50 years old. One or two in their mid 70s. They put a foot on the left peg and ride away. This shouldn't be a surprise but they've been doing it for 30-50 years. Student Mark did great. I too want to develop this skill. My path to off-road began at age 62 and 5' 9" it's not so easy. Falling is a concern I need to dispel. Tall riders do have an advantage in more ways than just mounting the bike.

Would you suggest these drills for larger ADV motorcycles like KLRs and up? Would you have to change anything because of their obvious weigh difference to your motorcycles?

But you see, you turn the handlebar straight to the ground at felling down, because it will stay still straight 7:29 😅

I've been getting on and off my 500exc, 690 enduro and 890 adv r thus way for quite a while. I'm too short to swing my leg over. However, once I stalled the 500exc after riding over a 2ft log and started to fall on the downhill side. I jumped of on the downhill side to catch me and the bike but hit my knee on the peg. It took 16 stiches to close that one. Luckily I didn't ruin any important blood vessels, nerves or ligaments. My bike never hit the ground.

you guys ride out there often or give a class? I live ight near here

Still on week one lol

7:28 most replayed by people watching this lol

A lot easier for a taller guy to get that peg weighted as you have more leverage. Having said that, I also think your student’s bike over over sprung for his weight.

This is the way to get back on the bike when it's barely fitting on a skinny shelf on a side of a hill, and you're 1ft below it, holding the bike up. 90% of the riders can't do this. Another 5% would be scared to attempt it in the wild.

Where in the heck can I find IRC tires in the USA? The main site takes you to a few but two links dont work and the others dont carry the BR99.
