I'm a 63 year old guy with a new Beta. I'm still practicing the basics, static balance, clutch control holding the bike stationary on inclines and even trying the slow wheelie techniques. I'm not even close on the coordination to get the wheel up yet, but this is what I one day want to do. So far it's pretty hard for me, but I have nothing but time to practice.

Well timed, I dedicated some time to practice this a few days ago. Mixed, but positive results; I started out completely unable to do a pivot turn, after an hour I improved to just being bad at doing them, to where I may succeed at one out of ten. Looking forward to putting this advice to use.

Switching the sides requires good timing and when I can pull it off the turns are so much more effortless. And when riding on sidehills I see a lot of riders leaning the bikes into the hill - and always losing their rear tyre and claim it is impossible and ignore the fact that some riders did it with ease and did not mess up the track. xD

I've learned the wheelie technique to a point where I could say I have it in most situations. But I've learned to always use rear brake to ignite the traction and compress so I'm pretty much starting everything over to get things running both ways.. Being scared not having that rear brake covered while dragging right foot. It's highly advanced to keep mixing everything up both ways and not learn to always do the same (static balance lean direction, pivots, foot drag wheelie, hopping and bouncing front/rear/both sideways etc). Thanks for the great vid, I've been waiting for this one. I only wish you talked more about timing when there is already a rut where you need to aim with the switchback. This could also have part two doing the same with feet on the pegs ie floater turns =)

Perfect timing Rich, this is exactly what I'm working on. As a little shorter rider, my bike naturally leans in the direction of whichever foot is down if I'm on flat ground. I always figured this helped the bike initiate the turn. If the bike is straight up and down, how do you then initiate which direction it turns? Also, are you putting any input into the handlebars? Keep up the great work, you're the peoples champ!
@IRCTireUSAMoto
@IRCTireUSAMoto 2 жыл бұрын
The initiation of the turn is dictated by you planted foot. there is a slight input into the bars. But as I said you are pivoting around a stationary point.

Loving these tutorials. About to to embark on the enduro riding and may be about to find out that my 2011 kx450f is going to set a big challenge in being successful with the techniques i have been viewing from your videos. A husqvarna 300 is in my sight but out of reach for the time being. Do you think its achievable with my 450 or is it likely to be a struggle with weight and the easy stall factor.

Thanks! At some point, could you address techniques that help avoid highsiding in slow technical terrain? An example would be, riding rocks on a slope and not being able to dab on the downhill side. Also, and it may sound stupid, but how to most efficiently pick up the bike if it is facing downhill. Picking it up against the fall line takes so much energy. Thanks!!!
@GTisRule
@GTisRule Жыл бұрын
When you can, just spin it back around tires down parallel to the mountain. It's already highsided, if you didn't break a lever when it hit the ground, dragging it a lil ain't gonna hurt it ;) Once it's tire side downhill, it's pretty easy to pick up putting a foot on the outside peg and just lifting from the bars!

For side hilling I’ve found that leaning the bike downhill like you mentioned works best, but weighting the inside peg allows me to lean the bike over even further and provides even more traction. I figured this must provide an even larger contact patch. Is this incorrect?

@IRCTireUSAMoto Жыл бұрын
You can’t continuously weight your inside peg while side hilling. But you can always weight your outside peg.

I PROMISE I'M NOT MAKING EXCUSES. but..... I don't feel like my front end is compressing even close to how much yours is when i lurch my body forward. 2. how do i overcome the feeling like if i had 1 or 2 inches longer legs it would be so much better. i have been working the slow wheelie and pivots and if i am in a small rut it is ten times easier. without rut the bike lurches instead of coming up as if i cant get enough of my weight planted to hold the bike back. am i not getting far enough back? it is hard to reach the ground further back. How tall are you rich 6'1", 6'2"? I am 5'10" and now i sound like ricky carmichael complaining about my height. it does make a difference though, and i just want to figure a technique to overcome it as my bike is freakin tall.
@IRCTireUSAMoto
@IRCTireUSAMoto 2 жыл бұрын
I PROMISE… it has nothing to do with your height. It has everything to do with your fundamentals. Balance, body position, clutch control, throttle control, an understanding of how to find maximum efficiency. You’re taller than Mario Roman he got second at Erzberg.

@@throttlebuff I'm a pretty small guy (5'9 140 lbs), and for my entire life have ridden on stock suspension until I bought my Beta, did the BYOB program and got springs valved and lowered 2" and the difference has been absolutely amazing. I rode pogosticks all my life because I simply haven't weighed enough to compress suspension like Rich shows. I'm so much more comfortable on a 300 2T at 46 years old than any other dirtbike I've had since I was 12 and the trusty XR100... I can bounce, compress, and lift the front end now with technique instead of force, reliably!

i always see these videos and sure they sound logical and a good techinque but i cant ingore the fact that you can put your foot down 100% while me being a regular human being (1.75m) i barely touch the ground. and have zero control of my foot since its barely touching the ground. and finding a step to use doesnt realy work unless you master lifting the bike without one first. as i did not progress to have the control of a lifted bike without going too far away from me or just falling on whatever direction physics require :P Heelp!! desperate to learn how to do even a basic lift and halfd turn.

I’ll be honest with you what it comes down to is how hard you’re willing to work period. Huning in your basic clutch control is going to help the most. It sounds cliché but whether you believe you can or you can’t you’re right. There’s a girl named Crystal loves Moto on Instagram that’s 5’2” that can do these techniques.
