6:21 RIP cameraman. Great info as always Rich!

Rich....you have NO idea how badly some of us (ME) need to hear this! I live in the mountains and I've been hanging off the bars to keep my weight through the rear contact patch on long, steep climbs. It is so tiring that I lose clutch dexterity. This has given me a lot to think about and pay attention to out there...thanks!

You are able to break down techniques to a level anyone can (finally) understand! Thank you so much Rich! ❤ I believe that you are the best techer for the hard-enduro riding styles!

The last race I did I got stuck on this big flat open hill climb. Fairly smooth, but very dusty with shale rock. I had about a dozen attempts at it and just couldn't get up, either loosing traction or lifting the front wheel. Then I remembered seeing the technique shown @5:40 from a trials training video and got up first go, I couldn't believe it. Have been using it a LOT since then. Also interesting points Rich makes about positioning in general, I'll have to make some changes and see if it reduces fatigue. Great content as always Rich!

The info we all want and need. Thanks for being there for us, Rich!

Always appreciate how simple you make things sound. I keep applying applying tips and hoping my videos look as skilled as yours one day. Much respect!

So much good stuff here. Thanks, Rich. You out did yourself on this one.

Rich, these are such good tips! I just have to keep practicing. Thank you and love your riding - it’s awesome to watch and very inspiring.

You keep dropping these nuggets that help me improve my riding. Thank you.

Thanks Rich, your videos has definitely improved my riding.

Like always great explanations and great attention to details. Keep the good stuff coming...

Best info out there right now. Thanks, Rich! I agree 100%. The slower I’m going the more dynamic and exaggerated I find my body position on the bike, whereas at speed it feels static in comparison as the bike seems to do all the work

Thanks for spelling out all of what I must have started to learn over 5 years of dirt bike riding. I have been really thinking more about body position and technique and this was very well done.

You have a knack for explaining things really well. Thank you.

Thank you. New to enduro and learning from youtube. Exactly what you said. I've been trying to use the attack position all over. Even when it felt limiting. This answers so many questions. Thank you.

Awesome info mate, you’ve helped me and my son a lot in recent times, here in a small country town , Australia. Cheers mate

Really helpful breakdown here, thanks Rich!

You are a Legend!!!!! Thanks for your service!!! Enduro Master Class !!!!

Wow this is really an enlightenment, explained to the tiniest detail, blessed you Rich

Amazing explanation! I was trying so hard to follow rigid rules around body position that sometimes I felt like it was all working against me; this helps explain why! I can now think of it as guidelines and base it off what I think the ride or challenge is going to be like. Most of the time I am riding something in between super hard enduro and flowing single track and I think that is where I was getting tripped up trying a one size fits all rule on body position and foot position on the pegs - this makes sense to me now. Thanks for breaking this down the way you did it really helps.

Dope stuff 👌 thanks for continuing to share your insights

Beautiful riding. Great tips and explanations. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats! At last a really useful and pratical info. Thanks.

The way you're breaking down all the techniques to the bare bone is a blast to listen to Rich! The way you're talking with a passion is just amazing to watch and listen to. Thank you for you're videos man!

Sensational video, great explanation of how important body position is

This is one of my favorite videos that you have done More like this please.

Been waiting for someone to post this for ages. Great work Rich. "Toes curled over the front of the pegs" . . . Yes!

Just wanna say thank you for all these coaching videos to make us better riders and to be more successful in hard enduro and to be able to confidently prepare to hit almost every situation with less and less doubt each time and application

Save as favorite! Even when I don't even dream to do hard enduro. I think the principles presented apply to "normal enduro" too. Thanks for the lesson, great video.

This video is gold to me. I kept squeezing with my knees like a motocross guy even when terrain gets hard.

I watch ALL your videos, but this one was the most helpful. A little more down to earth so to speak 😁

Best analysis and explanation available. Thank you! Will be trying to be way more conscious of these positions and control for now on.

Great videos, fella! Thank you!

Brilliant, Rich. Thank you for explaining something that has bothered me for a while.

Thanks for breaking it down Rich. Great info

Thank you so much for this video. I am a principled rider. I love doing things by the books and I have had the wrong perspective about this. You cleared it up 😄 More attention to the many different subtle techniques based off situation, less attention to the most common moto position.

Some of the Best technical analysis anywhere. Many thanks!

"no hangiing off the bars" Ahhh ha moment of the of the day while working on body position and slow wheelies, pivot turns etc. Ive been pulling on the bars and today realized that its about getting body in position in perfect timing with machine/controls rather than muscle things. Small mindset shift....massive results...lots of energy saving. Thanks a ton for all your work on these videos. Certainly the reason I have a few sets of IRC on the way. Thanks IRC.

Another excellent eye-opening video by Rich Larson! Keep them coming!

Getting forward, that's my latest aha moment. Can't wait to practice this weekend, thanks Rich

Good stuff. I'm new at trying to do this correctly at 50. I have bad habits. I'm glad some of them are correct!

Dude your such an awsome rider! Your technique is flawless

Thanks for this type of videos. Keep going you are great teacher.

This video answered questions I've been asking for two years! Thanks Rich!!!

Trials bikes exaggerate everything and taught me a lot of this stuff, like using clutch/throttle and pre-reaction to balance and not hanging on with your knees and arms so much and how much difference weighting the front or back edge of the pegs makes.

Perfect explanation mate!

VERY Appreciate ,learned alot from ur vids, Rich.

very useful and smart tips as usual

Stellar breakdown for body position!! First video to do this effectively!

Thanks for the tips. Lots of information. Will have to watch again

Yes! Yes! and Yes! Great Video.

Thanks Rich. I wish I had watched this last night before the Prologue at the TKO. It'll serve me well tomorrow though. Good seeing you on the starting line, I was on the CR250r.

Brilliant. Thank you

Simply brilliant!

Great video as always!

Great information thank you

Thanks Guy...exactly what I am struggling with at the moment...was always trying to stay in attack position which obviously didn't work for me..

This is a “mic drop” kind of moment! Awesome video 🔥

Trials position tool kit into the quiver along with all the MX forms. Good video!!

Really great video thank you

perfect great ideas. I'm totally wrong using motocross techniques on Enduro. thanks a lot!

thanks ! great video ( as usual )

Very much appreciated! Watched a few times already. ⚡️BB 57⚡️ my man here I come! 🏍💨

Amazing video, a lot of valuable information. Thanks a lot

Another very useful vid! I was also wondering why the attack position was so tiring. Thanks!

HUGELY helpful. Thank you!!

Master of explanation and demonstration, nice moves bro, nice moves indeed🤙

That is indeed something nobody talks about. Everyone is talking either about motocross or enduro thus never understanding each other. Its the first time I hear such a good explanation about the differences of two

Great explanation!

Totally epic description. I think you might be better than Jarvis at teaching. Don’t get me wrong I learned a heap from him by simply watching. Not everyone has the ability to translate what they see copy it. Whilst I have that ability, it still helps to have what I see translated and expanded upon.

Crazy informational and crazy skills on the bike, I enjoy watching people work at their craft that I will never be able to achieve at my age. But practice benefits everyone at every level but watching masters of Hard Enduro racing and riding is just something to admire because they make it look so damn easy. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

New rider here. Thanks for confirming my suspicions on body positioning

As a rider without a coach nor formal training, your videos are super helpful. I ride off road just for fun but I still want to learn these basics to better my riding. Greetings from Philippines

thank you for video. great info.

great tips, thanks again !

This guy is really a very very good rider and everthing he says makes a lot of sense,Well done Rich!!

Another great video Rich!....now.....if I can only remember it all

Real good explanation👍I found Getting a trial bike was really the best way to learn body positioning. Every enduro rider should get one 😉

Steep hills I go one of two ways terrain/traction dependent. Like you pushed forward, low and knees out..or pulling up on bars, less bent legs and back further to press weight into pegs for traction...my mtbike steep climb technique which works amazing for traction when lugging at the cost of energy/added arm pump.

You are great!

Thanks Rich, I have been teaching my students that motocross is not enduro and enduro is not motocross, in body position, bike set up, tire choice and balance! Great video!

Knees over toe for big hill. Have to try that. Great video.

Thanks Rich!

wow rich your balance is so awsome ....... i cant even stand up without one foot on the ground hahaha you are a machine man !!!!

Awesome!

Love your videos. Just that when I'm on the track I keep forgetting everything. I'd need to have my computer with me, and preferably some chair and a table, to .. Or, I'd need the track to be closer to my home and my computer, so that I can watch a video and then go try it out straight away within a minute. The track is about 20 minutes from home, by the time I report in, pay the track fee and get rolling, I forget everything I'm there to practice. So I mostly just get my tires dirty.

Thank you!

Whoever is riding in these clips is a beast

Really nice video and there's not a lot of content like this out there. Cheers

great video

Dude, I'm just a lowly noob trying not to stall my CRF230F on flat, but your riding style is sick af.

Thanks bro!!

i find riding motocross hard enduro on dirt bikes and on mountain bikes are all transferable skills i would normally ride a hard enduro route or line on a mountain bike first to see what am i in for the come afterwards on a machine, helps greatly to encourage confidence and ease fear, some log matrix sections looks to be similar to the approach of a supercross whoop section the back and forth front and back tire touch on the obstacle tops, i agree with every example in this video from self experience

great and clear explanation! do u suggest to put risers (1cm max) under handlebar or better leave standard rise? thanks!

This is exactly what I was looking for, made the switch from motocross to enduro because there is no more tracks within 2 hours of me.

You’re on the mark as usual. When are you going to get a high end production set? You’ve more then earned it. Tell IRC it’s… time! They should throw in a few assistants as well… and a caterer. 😎👍

Good stuff!

Hey there, love your videos. I wanted to comment on the posture you mentioned for hill climbs where you move your body forward and weight the pegs, while just off the seat. I did Romaniacs last year and will be there again this year. I found on some of the steep hills I was hanging off the back of the bike in order to get traction. Otherwise I'd get wheel spin. Yes it was tiring but do you think your position up at the front would provide enough traction on the loose surfaces?

Ok, I think I will rewind and watch again, a lot of info here. Thanks.

Thank you
