You’ve come a long way in just a few short hours of off-road riding! Glad I could be part of that development. It’s really cool to see it in person, and then again through your videos. I hope to be there someday when you intentionally go flying through the air, attached to the bike 😂. Great video Cliff, your edits and storylines are entertaining!
Big improvement! Keep getting pointers from Chris. So much more to learn, but you're coming along. Another thing......the ribbons could've been where they pulled the body off the trials course. ;P
I learned so much and built confidence. I need a layoff the front brake for sure and I need to stand up more. I love your comment about the ribbons!!! 😂😂😂
@@arideinthecountry Don't lay off the front brake completely, just use the back brake more. It's easier to control a brakes slide on the rear than on the front. Definitely stand up more. Having the bike sprung for your weight would help too. They come from the factory set up for a 160lb. rider. Using the clutch for power delivery is a big help too, but that's for later on.
Thanks Doug! I’m already planning to upgrade the springs with the Race Tech kit to accommodate my weight. Pretty excited about it. I’m too “grabby” with the front brake and you’re right, I don’t use the back brake enough.
Forgive the question but you look like you’re sitting down a lot. You’ll have far more control standing and letting the bike move underneath you through those challenging sections.
I agree. I’m still learning for sure. In my mind sitting down is safer but when I watch Chris I can see how the bike moves under him over the bumps while he remains more in control. I will definitely be standing up more next time I go. Thanks for watching
@@arideinthecountry if you wear good boots, literally lean back into the heal of them. The sole and ankle supports should take all of your weight if you let them. They will behave like a platform so you can relax while being off the seat. I’m still a beginner myself, but I found this to be a revelation through the rough bits.
