I had to rewatch minutes 2&3 cos I was so distracted by the giant tumbleweed 😂

That wheelie-pivot bike- land on stand move was Smoooooothuh!!

Rich is the best coach, a chic channel for training, thanks for lessons, has already learned a lot from you👍 I from Russia, wrote with the help of translator, can be errors😅

Thanks for all you’ve done and are doin for us Rich. You’ve helped my riding tremendously in just a few short weeks. It’s amazing how all this training translates to actual riding. Stay awesome. Hope to meet you someday. 🍻

I love the explanation you gave about. Use it when you need it. You know, when you're trailriding, relax Use your attack position when you need it cause we're not all racers. Thank you rich. But it is good to know the knowledge that you've taught me. I really appreciate it and I use it when needed.

I’ve been watching your videos for years. All have improved my riding and gave me the confidence to do stationary log hops and clutch up techniques. Pivot turns are an everyday must. I don’t know how I ride without knowing how to do them. Pivot hops over logs and just general knowledge of always weighing the pegs has made a massive difference. I stress all these techniques to my friends and they have all started to improve as well. Thanks for everything you do Rich! Keep shredding 🤟🏻

Appreciate these videos - keep em coming!

Such a passionate teacher.

thanks a lot for sharing your videos 🙏

Your videos are top notch! You’re good at making the videos fun, and you have the skills to demonstrate! Thanks so much!

Thank you sharing your knowledge of the sport with us. The fundamentals you teach have helped me tremendously. It’s pretty cool to see these clinic videos. Thanks for posting!

Love this! I have ridden bicycles more than dirt bikes, and having to pedal forced me to lean way forward, but it felt very weird to lean forward on a dirt bike during accel without pedaling. I'm learning how much goes through my feet/legs on a dirt bike and when I get it working right my arms are so much more relaxed and I can ride the trails much better and longer. Thanks for the great tips!!

So much useful information thanks for sharing 🤘

Great content as usual, thanks for the tips.

amazing channel amazing teacher

I struggle with this for sure. I have a hard time having enough wrist left over to add power. Gotta regrip I assume. Looking forward to the Virginia training session!

I'm practicing my techniques for The South African IMPI Hard enduro end of the month. I only watch your vids as they are the most informative and the break down and detail you go into is next level. My skill has increased greatly form your videos. When I do cardio I watch your videos to learn more and re-watch to see if I missed any thing. Thanks a lot Rich!! Keep it up legend!!!

i love your videos man, i'm getting better thanks to you, every single weekend i do your drills.

Gold brother, thanks!! I'm on 5th day track riding and improving significantly due to your content!!

Thank you I actually learnt alot from this! I get arm pump very often

Most of the students did exactly what you told them not to do! I hope they see this video.

Thank you for another awesome video. When i ride transfer roads I'll do this drill all the time. I focus on my body position while trying to let the grip float in my hand.

Man he in is so detailed and in depth. . Rich, Larson, Chris, Burch, and AJ (Moto academy ) Make up my triangle. I really started actually trying to improve about three years ago. I make time to practice during the week even if it’s a half hour just to get something in and you don’t need a lot of space So throw that excuse away. You can work on static balance, Body positioning, etc. riding with my buddies is fun but when you’re pushing out a hard pace It’s difficult to work on technique. I try to make a conscience effort to always Work on at least one thing every time I go out. I have a horrible habit of pulling the clutch when braking . That’s next on the list. Your awesome. Thank you

Hey Rich, great video. Can you explain the reason to drop the heel when accelerating? You mention it a few times. Im curious why you dont mention squeezing the seat with knees. Most other youtube vidoes that talk about body position say you should squeeze seat with your knees. Cheers

this position is changing a lot when riding, obstacle riding included, it is the best position for some important reasons I noticed one thing that needs counter-intuition - it is the head position, raising head makes the rest of the body want to spoil the stance I found 2 solutions: when riding slowly keep head down and look up with the eyes only when riding faster raise the head a little but counteract the natural body movement that follows

Great lesson. You make everything easy to understand and make it look so easy. Even the cute move putting the bike on the stand. That was trick! I still have to manually lift mine. 🙄

I think this is one of my biggest issues and I end up with quads that are always on fire along with hands that are smoked way to early.. Thanks for sharing this, something I need to try and work on along with so many other things.

Thank you so much for all the content - as a long time viewr i can say - sooo helpful! So, i am very sorry as this is rather offtopic.... but what model of SIDI boots do you use....? Sidi does not like to explain the difference in its web very much.... Thanks!

Your videos are amazing, thanks I learn a lot. I will watch for your class schedule and see if I can coincide. One quick question, on braking without clutch, are you also downshifting without clutch when you needed - and, on that same note, where do you land on the need to use vs no need to use clutch when either up or downshift (on dirt)? Thanks in advance - David

Exceptional ❤

i just started riding (honda nx650 1990) and accelerating while im standing feels so bad, i was clearly unaware of the movements. I didnt know i should bend so far upfront.

Awesome video! I have been looking for this explanation for a while. Are you supposed to also squeeze the bike between your legs when accelerating? I feel this gives me an extra grip and point of support but not sure if that is bad technique also. Thanks for sharing this content!!

But that tumbleweed though

@irctireusamoto Any suggestions for strength training/stretching to help with the lower back pain? Thanks for these videos!

I would love to go to one of riches classes he’s the balls not only unreal rider the way he teaches is incredible his vids are priceless

how bloody easy d0o you make getting on the stand look ahahaha love it man.

is there any technique for hard enduro technical trail to minimize armpumps? or this technique also can be applied for technical trail?

The tumbleweed had good form transitioning from uphill to downhill!

THANKS !!!

All this stuff helps riding at full pace as well.

So rich larsen, what is your feeling on steg pegs, does it help with proper body postion, or hinder it, since I've been using steg pegs I haven't experienced arm pump, but I have noticed, sometimes, my body movement is slightly off during to the stegs being a crutch???? Just your thoughts

@IRCTireUSAMoto Rear tire question? What rear would you recommend for New England Hare Scrambles (rocks, roots and mud)? Will be for a Beta 200 RR RE.

I get better just watching these.

Curious as to your rear brake lever placement. Seems like I have to drop my knee forward quite a bit during braking

Brilliant... All through legs...pressing through the pegs.. I gotta keep sayin' this..

When is the next time you do an off-road clinic like this in Utah?

One day and 12000 views and only 619 likes! That should at least be 6190! Come on people, you know you're gonna go out there and practice the shit out of this valuable technique. All you gotta do is say thanks and HIT the LIKE BUTTON. THANKS RICH !

Is there a chance to test xtrainer 300 ? 😊

I believe that modern life sacrifices your glutes and lowest abs. This is precisely what is needed to hold position. If you are trying to get back into shape after the age of 40 you best work on those areas first.

3:13-3:29

Great info, is it just me, or does he sound like Jordan Peterson? 😮

отлично рассказал 👍

I miss being 16.......LOL....

I don't mean to brag but I have never had arm pump. I'm not fast so there's that but I ride hard stuff at a fairly advanced level. I attribute it to random biological difference not anything I've done.

🗣️🦾

You dont even race dirt bike ballerina boy! Can you go fast?

bro get to the point. less words more meaning. amazing info though. thanks
