Ok wow! I’m 67 years young and have been riding 60 years, so I’m an expert….not! I bought a beta 300 xtrainer and tripped across your channel three weeks ago. So I watched you ride and I’m blown away. I decided to take your 10 lessons. Static balance, easy right, nope. I tried it and gave up, lesson 2, super easy, not for me, clutch control yea no problem there but…actually I did manage to get it. So I gave up in general. I was watching your garage training tips the other night and you started fresh again but you said something so interesting. Guys say the’ve done it 100 times, they can’t seem to get it. I’m that guy, 5 minutes frustration and I gave up. Well not today, I went back out, in my backyard, nailed it after 10 minutes in the hole, then 15 minutes on the flat. I DID IT! Gonna do lesson 2 tomorrow, today I’ll keep practicing lesson one. Thanks so much for the skills and the entertaining lessons. My wife walks in to tv room, don’t tell me your watching that again, lol, life is for learning! My other bikes are husky 510, and a husaberg 450. I’m learning to ride all over again, but this time properly.

Rich is so good at breaking down concepts and explaining them. Seriously such a great asset to have. I don't ride enduro but I still love to watch and apply the same drills to my crf250l rally. Great stuff.

Your channel is a hidden gem! The algorithm is letting me down. Can't believe I haven't stumbled across you before today!

I bought IRC tires because of this channel

This guy is one of the best trainers I have found and my riding has improved heaps! Thanks so much!

I'm loving this. So excited for this whole series.

Thanks man! I really appreciate the detailed breakdowns.

Great breakdown of a technique that can be used in a lot of conditions, Thanks 🙂

great breakdowns as always, thanks for the new series Rich

Awesome idea for a series and great location, Rich!

"Aim with your rear tire." Brilliant, I have that bad habit of chopping the throttle once my front "makes it"

Those inclines looks SteepAF and are definitely my kryptonite. This video is full of awesomness!!!

Awesome video and breakdown. Thanks sir!

I love this format with the breakdown on a real obstacle, I learnt a lot!

Yes this concept of putting your rear tire where you want to go help me out a huge amount and just running the front tire past. I can't believe I never thought of that.

More! I think the real world applications are very useful. Thanks!

This is so good! And makes me want to go back to 5MOH

This is brilliant! A concrete application of all the techniques you've shown in the past. Very, very useful. Thanks!

Great content!! Thank you so much very well done. Appreciate the breakdown.

Another awesome training video!!! 👍🏻

This is awesome. Great video and should be an awesome series.

Thank you so much Rich! I ride Enduro more than 20 years and struggled with improving. Thanks to your techniques and understanding to really put time into practicing single techniques I definetly improved. Now the break down of corners and sections like here are the application of the techniques. Great way of teaching! Its such fun, safer and faster. Best regards from Germany

Thx so much for this detailed instruction! 🙏🏻

Appreciate this excellent video. Good useful technique to try.

I've been a fan for a long time now, both of your vids and IRC tires. You have a teaching style unequaled by anyone else on youtube. Now this vid is next level. I wish it was available last march before i made my first pilgramidge to 5moh. The skills I developed with your help gave me the courage to try it. I struggled some on the record stack but managed to ride cleanly (mostly) from there to the crux and then the first bailout. Can't wait to see the upcoming episodes and then to go back to finish it. Thanks!

Excellent- work thanks

Quels très beaux paysages , faire de la moto sur ces roches c'est extra. Vous êtes un très bon pédagogue. Merci et bravo. (France, Normandie)

"AIM WITH YOUR REAR TIRE!" GENIUS!! Thank you!!!

Great Lesson! My Takeaway “Aim for the Rear Tire”❤

Thank you. Very helpful.

Day late and a dollar short...wish this series was on a month ago before I rode it, thanks anyway 🙂...really good job breaking it down!

Trials taught me Straight is always best when climbing obstacles

My first time on 5moh i was on a yz250 with a moto tire. But I did make it all the way. This is a awesome breakdown.

Well I definitely added something to my bucket list ;)

Great point about taking the time to re-set an approach rather than gas it and 'hope' for the best!! I do this a lot, doing so lets this older, less skilled rider work thru difficult sections without dropping the bike.

It looks like fun and quite a challenge. I live pretty far away, but maybe someday I'll make it out that way. Hopefully before I'm too old. The tips as always are very useful even here at home in the Ozarks. Thanks.

Hey man if you haven’t already can you make a video on how to throw a whip and really in depth about how much you should throw and what’s to much yk. Lol if not thanks anyway man !

Now this is what I want to see. Technical skills in practice at real life trails. Yes, your other skills vids are important; Yes i and many others need to practice those skills; and, this video is better.

Hey Rich 👋, thanks for the video. You mention leaning the bike away from the hill and weighting the outside peg. The outside peg makes sense to me but I’ve thought about off camber as keeping the bike upright rather than leaning it away from or towards the hill. Wondering if that was a relative statement (lean it away more than you might think) or whether you actually have the bike past vertical?

It’s all about tire 😅. Nice tutorial

perfect rocks for trial riding :)

Do you ever use the rear brake when going up a steep incline to prevent from looping out?

Hi Rich! First of all, thanks for all the videous. You are mine "online coach" :D What gear you use for this kind of obstacles? I was recently told in a Hard enduro training camp that 2nd gear is the driving gear and 1rst is just for pivots etc. I have a 13-51 gearing in my Beta 300rr.

Rich, which chest protector and hydration pack do you like to use for 80km hard/single track trail ride?

Thanks Rich. What rear tire were you running on that?

What, if anything, do you adjust on your suspension for this trail vs. your typical single track....thanks!

Lets see review of the gear and likes/dislikes vs fly gear you ran. Also how the helmet is.

omg I was just there two weeks ago!! WHERE were you Rich!? :P

Did you get a new 300?

RICH, je te suis depuis la France. Thank you, you are a very good teacher . Can you learn French 😂😂😂 it will be easier for us to understand 😂😂😂😂

Would it be possible to go this track with a Honda Crf300L Rally? It's just 27hp but 153 kg...... What do you think? On original IRC tires of course! 😜

Great video. Maybe try it with an average-ish rider!

2nd gear?

We used to one shot this section and actually follow the paint, not straighten the trail like you did. My first time on 5MOH was in 1999 on my XR250L.

Talking to public schoolers as if ur name was jarvis.

🤪

Many of sections like these can be conquered by compensating for your lack of skill with huge balls and lots of throttle. Trust me, I have a broken arm
