Dirt bike training content with a focus on visual technique breakdowns and explanations of technical offroad skills and the learning process.
I'm a gal of average height (5'6"), so much of my content will feature tips for "smaller" riders. While strength is an undeniable asset for a rider, proper technique can compensate for a lack in brute force. In other words: If I can do it, you can do it too. The key is making the bike's suspension and power work FOR you, rather than against you.
I'm no pro rider, but as a self-proclaimed professional over-analyzer, I've spent my learning journey obsessing over the WHY behind everything we do on a bike. Take everything I say with a grain of salt or three, but if my observations and explanations can be of value to anyone, I'll gladly share what I know.
I taught my daughter to do static balance squats and everyday you would write down on the fridge what your make squats were before you lost your balance. Woman have much better balance then men.
Congratulations! It looks easy but in reality is taking me a lot of effort to achieve it. Probably been doing this for a year and my balance is far from perfect.
My leg is better now and I tried your technique on my trials. Looks like it’s easier. But still learning. Hopefully I’d be able to apply it on the beta 300 RR someday too. But what good does it bring to the riding please?
Awesome! Glad you’re healing up. Honestly, it doesn’t give you much benefit on the dirt bike beyond extra fitness and a skill boost for the trials bike. It’s a party trick, but IS useful for cross-training for us trials folks!
After you de-weight the rear, you need to bring your bodyweight much further forward and lower to the seat, in order to get up in the balance point and make it possible to actually roll for awhile on the front wheel... check out Axel Hodges tutorial on this... he explains it very well.
@@bama_moto, I am very surprised how good (and worth it) are your videos, and the numbers of suscribers (/views) you have! 😳 😮 🤔 Just from this ordinary rider here, you will a few (/lot) more views! 😃 (because, besides seeing them, will send them to more novice friends that usuallly ride with me) 🙂
You’re welcome! I hope the content was useful. Just close the throttle but don’t pull the clutch. If you pull the clutch, you lose ALL drive to the rear wheel; with the clutch out, the engine inertia continues providing a very light “carrying” power to the rear wheel that keeps you rolling farther. Also, it’s easier to get back on the throttle without losing traction afterwards if you don’t pull in the clutch because the the tire is still connected to the driveline and it won’t put as much torque on the wheel when you open the throttle again. If you pulled the clutch, getting back on the gas requires gently taking up the slack that you introduced into the drivetrain and carefully avoiding torquing the wheel by not letting the clutch out too fast. It’s hard to get that right and not break the tire loose. If you’re too slow and HAVE to pull the clutch, try to just slip it instead of pulling it all the way in. That also keeps the driveline tight and prevents cutting all power and then having to fully re-establish traction.
@@bama_moto tell you what, the best tutorials on RU-vid to me. Just explanation on screen plus the graphics. Keep them coming please. I see now, I’ll give this many tries. But how about gear selection. How do you base your gear choice?
Should be mandatory watching before signing up for a hard enduro; I see a lot of people unable to finish races because they wear themselves out without these tips!
my goodness, you’re so meticulous with the instructions. Keep coming the content please. I’ll be tackling the front hop first. Can’t wait for a Slow wheelie Tutorial.
I appreciate it! If you mean the seated 12 o’clock slow wheelie, you may have to wait a while. That’s admittedly not something I’ve ever spent any time trying to learn, haha.
Great vid guys and girls like it a lot things I’ve been doing for yrs but can we do 1 where u teach ppl to stop bike in a low spot it amazes me how many short ppl stop get on and off there bikes up hill lol
Nice control, i used to do these sitting on the seat more since I'm somewhat tall and could still reach the ground but recently did a skills class where the instructor said to get off the seat and it made it so much easier to get it to pivot.
That’s really interesting. I’ve had some people tell me I SHOULD keep my weight on the seat, but it puts me in a position where my foot is too close to the rear wheel and I can’t use it for leverage to prop the bike up and/or can’t reach the rear brake if I do. There’s never just one right way to do anything on dirt bikes, it seems.
I love it. I love when someone makes a video like this becouse I who rides Extreme Enduro can show this to mi friends when I am not home, thanks. And is that a 125?
@@bama_moto 300, oh...... gotta learn my bikes more than... I mean I have only one 300, and 7 other so, not really in 300, for me 350 is better. But still gotta watch more
