The level of detail you pour into these videos is EXACTLY what's lacking in so many others. You're setting a coaching benchmark here Rich! Talk as long as you like; if we all practiced as much as we should/could Billy Bolt would be nervous!

You do talk a lot but there's always value in what you say. You're an amazing teacher and I learn so much from these. Keep them up Rich!

Dude! Your long winded tutorials are exactly what’s been missing from most others I’ve looked at. You explain so nicely what has to take place to accomplish the desired result. Please don’t change a thing! Thank you for your efforts, I hope it pays off for you too!

Here I am commenting 2 years later, lol. As an older guy who wants to improve off road ability on a larger enduro bike I am amazed at the amount of information you communicate. Clear, logical, simple (to understand) and organized from the ground up. You are by far the best teacher I have encountered, keep up the great work. I am on the 10 episode foundational videos now, just taking a break to absorb and reinforce.

I’m 52, new to dirt biking and so freaking happy I found your tutorials! Thank you so much for all the detail and excellent instructions!!! I got my bike 2 weeks ago and it’s icy and cold and I’ve been thinking to myself “I wish there was something I could do in my garage to get better” then I find this nugget of pure gold! Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏻 please keep making these tutorials to keep us safe and enjoying this awesome sport!

Alright. I don't have a garage. But I do have a basement. And my bike is going down there for winter practice. No more off season excuses from me!

I’ve watched this dozens of times, currently have it playing while I’m in the garage practicing now. Just heard for the first time, move back and forth, not up and down. Game changer with the wheel lift. An Aha moment! Thanks Rich!

Yup! 😆 People who dis practice drills cant do them & they’re missing out cuz the slow speed skills are great to possess. Thanks for your detailed explanation!

I'm big fan of garage training on enduro and trials bike. When I first dived into static balance with enduro bike I took most of air out from tires and added a pile of tires on both sides so I could lean on them with my front wheel when fully turned on either side - it was a good place to start and got me motivated cause I could lean instead of sit and dab. My first mission was to be able to swap from left to right .. then again slower. Also if you can reach the sealing while standing up put one finger on sealing for balance then try to take it off for a second .. two seconds .. .. one full song from the radio .. then take your phone and watch youtube while balancing.. repeat .. repeat .. repeat One intensive winter in garage can provide more skills than 15 years of easy trail riding..

I can’t believe there are people saying that u talk too much. Very on point and ur words carry a lot of useful information Sending love from Eastern Europe!

Best hard enduro instructional channel on KZfaq, keep up the good work Rich. I’m 60 and am still learn/enjoying this stuff in part thanks to you.

YOu are not long winded at all. You are simply natuarally using the proper technique for teaching. Re-iterate the points, clearly demonstate the technique and give the reason for the technique. Do not change your style of teaching for those to impatient to listen. You ROCK. Love this channel, it inspires me!

I really like these short tutorials. They are well constructed and being broken down to chunks, I find them doable (yet challenging in a good way) while out on a ride. Instead of my ride becoming just a boring training session.

Thanks for taking away my excuses. It's all I've got, Rich!!

I love how you keep it real and let people know they have to put in the time to improve instead of some "magic" tip that teaches you in 5 min on how to be a professional.

I love the way your dog looks at you at 2:30. kinda saying "You sure you're doing alright dude"

Awesome calling us out it's what is needed... Respect.

Mate, just continue the way you do your videos! I learned a lot and I believe a lot of guys did! Thanks a lot ! 🔥🙏🏼

u are unique cause like a friend said "The level of detail you pour into these videos is EXACTLY what's lacking in so many others"

This is a real tutorial! Continue to create more videos, i give my 100% support

Dude, I love your passion for helpin people get good at this stuff!

man, i have zero issues with static balance on my mountain bike. Spent the past 40 minutes following the guidance and I can't get it to balance at all on my TX300. Amazing what CG and a weight difference will do. Gonna keep at it.

My oldest daughter is always asking me about technique. I know exactly where to go every time and its the irc tire guy. We both love your in-depth explanations. She is transitioning to a 65sx and is learning the clutch. Your clutch control videos have been super helpful!

Thanks Rich, just what I needed. I'm 62 and never done this stuff before. I appreciate the before and after 'rant'. I won't be able to manage 30mins at a time, but it's really good to have a target to aim for.

Love the dog watching his technique. Okay it’s out the bag, the dog is his coach. He truly is this man’s best friend 😂

Many thanks from here in the UK

Rich Larson: THIS IS GOLD! Thank you for your continuous contribution to the advancement of us aspiring hard enduro riders 👍🙏

I don't have 30 minutes. I promise myself to spend at least 10 min.. After third day the results are impressing, my static balance it's way better now. I will keep pushing myself there's no other way. Hard work really works. Thanks Rich

My favourite part is the dog watching 2:30 thinking “what the f*** is he doing “😂

Adding pressure to the different pegs makes a huge difference I love this tip ❤ I’ve been practicing just changing pressure on the pegs whilst riding through straight sections of trail and I am always surprised by how much attitude it puts into the steering and direction of the bike

SOOO many things to learn!!! Thanks Rich!! Love this!

Thanks for the teaching videos Rich, they help tremendously!!👊🏻

That was great! Out to the garage I go!

I really love the effort you put in to explain the detail in every coaching session. I always pick up something extra out of your videos. Keep em coming buddy.

Rich is such an excellent and enthusiastic communicator. I have found that you can put a piece of carpet or rug under your tires and it helps with the static balance drill. This works similar to letting air out of the tires.

These videos are awesome! Thank you so much for putting in the time and showing us all how to do this properly. I am gaining a lot from this training in my garage! Can't wait to put this to use once winter is over here in Colorado. Thanks again Cheers!

Thanks for this, and for including short rider tips with the lesson!🍻

Much appreciated! Just got my first enduro bike last week and about to start practicing. 🙏🏽

I don't have a motorcycle yet, planing to buy it on 2023 and, I'm learning a lot. I'll put all in practice. Thanks for those details.

Your tips are ALWAYS awesome! Thanks ma man!

Thank you for this great info and all your detail in the videos you put out.

Hell yes I was only doing this yesterday in the back room, I felt a bit silly but I knew it would help, thanks for the backup you got my sub💪

What a fantastic video! So many great tips especially the importance of front to back, rather than up and down, motion. Thanks for taking the time to make your videos!

Sitting in my garage watching this and getting ready for my daily static balance practice. Thanks for all your teaching.

One more great quality video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Great lesson, I am headed to the garage now to start on the balancing drill! Thanks for the videos, as others have said, much appreciated!

Always the best advice...im gonna master all these techniques before my next lifetime

Seriously, I have been watching training videos for years. I have only watched 2 of your videos so far and absolutely the best videos I have ever seen for serious technical description while still being easy understand!!!

So glad I found your channel, cant wait to go practice, the ice and and snow is almost gone

Been riding both street & off-road for years & still learning. Love the attention to detail. It's the little things that make the world of difference.

These tutorials are exactly what we need, not long winded pal your thorough keep them up

That video was awesome. Thanks. will bring back my bike to the garage!

Bro, it’s so awesome how much info and detail you share with us, this is EXACTLY what we need. Every time I find a Pro and ask something they show the technique and say “It’s like this” so they leave me confused and depressed. Thanks so much for teaching us step by step, you got a new subscriber here ✋

“If you can’t do it, you have no one to blame but yourself” 💪

Thanks for this! I live in the city and it's hard to get out and find dirt to practice as much as I'd like. I'll get srs now about practicing this on my driveway!

Rich now responsible for several hundred people hopping around their garages and confusing the dog .

I always learn with every video you produce, thank you! That's not always the case with all the content out there. The precise explanation while keep it on point is spot on. I was just practicing this in my garage last night, wondering why it tips so fast. Thanks for the air in the tire tip. Also more the reason I should learn in the dirt if necessary for grip.

Thanks so much Rich, I appreciate your time and efforts!!

I can't do it, but I'm working on it. Thanks for the tips, and the challenge!!

Nothing but the best informational videos...keep talking!

Thanks Rich! Great lesson. I’ve been looking for something I can do during the week at home when I can’t get out to ride. This is perfect!

Super video, I already started doing this two weeks ago, all the techniques that you described make sense, I myself came to them during my training. Really, 30 minutes of exercise gives a cool result. Ideally, I also want to come to the fact that in balance, jerking up the front wheel. Thank you, bro, hugged!

Rich thanks for making all these great videos. Your tough love approach is just wait I needed to become a better rider. At 62 and have being on a motorcycle most of my life I can attest you can improve your skills no mater your age.

good vid, you just pointed out what I was doing wrong, not up and down but forth and back - that's the key, thanks.

My wife and I started working on indoor static balance this weekend. I'm on my second night and am seeing big improvements! I put a short up on my channel and plan to do another in a few more sessions for comparison, hopefully including my Mrs on her little green machine as well. Thank you Rich for the inspiration to keep practicing, no matter what.

You only talk so much because you have the skill / ability & experience to do so, and it's the exact reason why we watch you dude 👊. Your videos are a massive help and it's because of the detail 👍

You're the best coach for sure. Probably I watched all your videos, some of them twice. I start doing statistics balance, clutch control, body position training sessions after I watched your video (Private lesson) and it's helping me riding my bike so much more that I expected. Also doing my training sessions for statistic balances, after I get close to being comfortable doing it, I start taking my left hand off the grip to make a little bit more challenging. Next step was getting on the bike using only my right hand and continue balancing as long as possible. Really challenging, but looks like it every time I practice, getting better and better... Thank you for everything, big like 👍 Waiting for more video ✊✊✊

Absolute legend your break down in techniques is spot on and we learn a lot from you. Keep it up bro 🤙

Lot's of value added! great work

Great video Rich, really appreciate what you are doing.

Love your work Rich! Thank-you.

Principles of training - well-explained & supported by effective demonstration. Thank you again.

Thank you. You cleared up what I was doing wrong with the hopping. Nice job.

Thanks Rich. I was trying to figure out what I could do in the garage. And bingo.

Your videos are the best advice & explanations out there! THANKS!!! :-)

The best channel for detailed tips n tutorials

Thank you for your time and content. I look forward to practicing these drills. cheers from OZ

Thanks for sharing. This is the best explanation on the topic.

thank you for the "awareness" which is the truth behind achievements; practice....! no practice, no growth!!!! thank you for putting me in my place, and off I go to my garage and practice those essential drills to mastery of the enduro bike... my motto now is: shut up and practice...!

Revisiting this after 5 months off due to a broken and dislocated ankle. I found that I was wishing for a nice and smooth concrete floor, opposed to my old, crumbly one that made the front tire stick and not allow small steering inputs. Was tough at first, but getting there. 👍

New to enduro, very excited, just found your channel and it's the best on KZfaq It was a very easy subscription 👍

Awesome vid. Imma hit these drills up. Thank you!

Exactly what I needed, Thank you!

Rich, love, love your videos!! You explain the how to soooo very well! Thank you!!

Calling us out hard on this one! Love it another great video and sometimes the truth feels good as well!

Great point - wasn't trying hard enough :D Thanks for the video!

Love the "rants" and love the content. Please keep it coming Rich!

Longwinded or not, your an excellent teacher !! Your delivery is very clear and precise , so therefore easy to understand . Thanks for the great videos

Rich, i really enjoy your videos man. My son and I have been studying your training/tips.

just came back here to motivate myself. You can be really proud of your work ... You are the BEST

I'm a beginner rider and I'm bad at it, but your videos are helping me a lot, your explanations are very clear and helpful, I have tried the static balance for just a bit in my garage and is so difficult, specially for me as a beginner, but I have never tried with low tire pressure, excelent tip, than you 👍👊

Absolutely awesome! Thanks!

These is great practice for those of us in Colorado or other snowy areas that limits our riding in winter.

Always succinct presentations. Thanks.

Thank you for adding tips to short riders! I’m 157cm / 5,15 foot and my toes don’t reach to peg/rear brake if other foot is on ground. This means some of the drills in other videos seem impossible to me. But practising balance and hopping this way should ease my riding hugely.

Super creativity 👏 thank you.

Your tips are great and arguments really back 'em up. Keep up the good work. Just wish I'd be as good at practicing.

Awesome!!! It’s always boring to spend a weekend ride to train balance. Thank you for this trick with air pressure to train in garage. Just came back from first garage training balance. Got 20 seconds. Thank you for this tutorial once again!

I think you have best videos for people who want to get better. Thank you

My last ride convinced me I have no business on technical singletrack until I am competent at these balance drills. Starting off with my Mt. Bicucle then the enduro. 58 years old so every crash takes a compound toll on my energy and enthusiasm.
