Man it’s never ending practice as rich said!! I’m start spending more time myself on basics and these things before just goin to ride! I normally do 30 min but after this class I’m do a hr to 2 hrs every time! He made great points in his class! You can learn more on flat ground then just goin to ride! Fundamentals fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals fundamentals 👏👏👏👏👏👏
That's great dedication. I tried to get people to go out and practice but nobody wants to "practice" everyone just wants to ride. That's where trials came in for me....by virtue trials is practice since you hit the same section over and over until you are good at it. I wish I could convince more of my enduro friends to do the same!@@whitehollywood6447
A long time ago I entered an enduro here in Australia on a Suzuki TS400 and I had trouble off the line so I was last to leave. I was doing about 80kph across an open paddock and came across a log about 8 inches in diameter. I powered up the front over the log no worries but forgot about the back wheel hitting the log and it impact threw me off the seat, so I was vertical to the handlebars and totally out of control and crashed. Hurt myself a fair bit but managed to restart the bike and limp back to the end of the race. Looking back that would have been some funny shit to see it happen.
Ya we all have a nasty wreck soon or later it just happens. It’s part of dirt biking, but one thing we can do is learn from our mistakes and focus on our techniques to be better riders! 💯🤙🏻
Here's my question. Is your clutch set in position number 2 or position number 3. My gas gas EC250 clutch is not that easy to pull. Hard to get the rhythm of pulling the clutch revving the bike and letting it out. Mine is set in position number 3. And I bought the bike it was in position number 2 and the clutch slipped really bad on a hill climb. I installed Hinson clutch discs And the instructions said to set the position in number 3 which in turn made my clutch much harder to pull in. So when I jump logs, I just used the power of the bike to pop the Willie and Moore throttle to clear the log. Which usually upsets me on the other side and I crash.
My bike has more power than the 300 TBI and it's only A250TPI. It's got over a 100 hours on it and the only problem I ever had was the clutch slipped I had to replace it. Is everything people say about tpis is completely wrong. My bike rips. It comes with 49.5 horsepower stock in a 250. I added a medium compression head moto's pipe and Coober ECU. It's well over 50 horse power. And runs sweet. set up for hard and duro. I'm just not the best rider. In S. Oregon there are trees down everywhere. We carry hand saws with us to clear trails. Is learning to jump logs is a must. Im 52 show my hands don't work that great. But I'm not stopping I'll just eat more protein mix and push harder. I paid $6900 for a 2023 gas gas EC250 off the showroom floor. You can't beat that. I've ran it against 2 2024 husk lavarna TE 300s. Is in comparison and mine has noticeably more power. The TE 300 are stock.
He's the best instructor online, but why explain something simple with a more complex analogy, ''collection'' doesn't make sense. just say, throttle loads up the potential energy in the fly wheel, and clutch is the traction control. first load up the fly wheel, then use clutch to lift up the front wheel without spinning the rear tire.
I agree with you on both counts. 1) Rich is a phenomenal teacher, which makes it all the more surprising that 2) he uses such strange terminology here. I always think of it as generating power and delivering power. That is, you generate power with throttle and you deliver it with the clutch. You can generate however much power you want, and keep it in reserve for when you decide to deliver it. You deliver it through the clutch release. The amount of clutch release is proportional to the amount of generated power you want to deliver.
@@spookyroofus @David-lq2xg I appreciate both you guys and support of my videos and techniques! I really these type of comments because it helps me explain the terms deeper. The reason I coined the term collection it is used by 100% of the top technical riders yet no one has explained the intricacies of what they are doing. The problem here is in exactly the way that you described delivering power. Generating power with the throttle, then controlling the delivery with clutch, which is 100% true in a lot of situations. There’s a time in a place where riders are using their clutch to deliver power and there’s a time and a place where we use our clutch to collect our power. There are two very distinct differences in these forms of control and we can’t be one dimensional in our thinking. The piece everyone has missed as it pertains to the double blip is the understanding that the throttle is OFF when we release the clutch. This increases the speed in which the RPM descend or the way we COLLECT our power. Creating efficient traction. I could go deeper but we’ll leave it there 😂 Unfortunately these techniques are complicated!
@@IRCTireUSAMoto WoW, thank you for the clarification. I'm very literal, it was confusing when you first said "collection" without the definition. You did a great job explaining/demonstrating the term "collection" at the second half of this video. Maybe "pop/drive with loaded flywheel AND throttle off" captures the idea better. Fabulous work.
