Toldea34 Thank you very much, im glad you liked it!

Chris Catron Thank you! The fun will never end as long as I've got a dirt bike to throw a leg over!

War Beard Yesss! It's time!

Tomas Jakan Jakobsson jour right

Tomas, you would be amazed at how many women are in the sport. :)

Women, not girls.

Gwynne Fitzsimmons No problem! I'm glad you liked it!

CycleCruza Thank you! Always stoked to see you watch my vids :).

Megan - I'm always stoked to see your videos!!

Just Tex Thanks for watching!

The pleasures all ours..

Well, have you stayed out of the hospital? Hope so! I’m trying to do that right now as I bought my first bike in 35 yrs. 🙂

MR0birdman Hey! That's great, I really appreciate you following us and checking out my vids. I'm stoked to hear that they are helping you improve your riding!

juan jose Jimenez Thanks man! I’m glad you liked it!

doncarlo5 just like you recommended, it happened. Maybe even per RU-vid comments.

John Mark Dobbs Thanks John! It's taken a long time to get to where things like this are second nature to me.

crispin curtis Thank you :)

spacecowboy rides Thank you!

tollermother Thanks! I'm glad the vid was helpful to you :).

Tyler Beck You're very welcome. Thank you for watching my vids! I always appreciate it.

pelleper Yes that's exactly right. De-weighting is a great way to get over side ways or wet logs without sliding out. I guess I do it naturally now. Congrats on your new ride by the way!

Hey that would actually be a good vid for you to make if you haven't already,, "How not to hyperextend your knee" Cheers

Jamie Brasnyo Oh no, im sorry to hear about your knee! I hope that's not going to be a long recovery.... :(

Megan Griffiths Enduro Cheers,,Thanks

So I started riding a 350cc warrior when I was 7 it was my brother's and my parents I think wanted a late abortion. I moved to a 350 banshee them a yfz450 atv by 16. Now I'm in my 20's when I switched from atv's to dirt bikes I was 19. Went from an 85 to a 125 to a 250 all two strokes and then a yz450f. If it's your first dirt bike I couldn't recommend a 450 four stroke or a 250 two stroke (the 250 is faster in a lot of cases) I did decent when racing 450's later on in life. I'm 25 now and my favorite bike is a Ktm 150sx two stroke. They make the same hp as a road going crf450L but they weigh about 200lbs wet. Roughly a 100 lbs lighter than the crfL and a lot cheaper than the 250sx especially when you break something. So you can really thrash the fuck out of it without caring. You got 11 less hp but given you are new to riding dirt bikes a 150sx will be faster than you for most likely the entire time you own it. The 250's and 450's are just so fast at this point the pro ama riders want a 350 4 stroke class. So I'd recommend a 125cc or 150cc two stroke at the most, definitely don't start with a 250 two stroke, I'd say start with a 450 4 stroke instead of a 250 two stroke but I really wouldn't recommend either. People will say something about the small motor but you'll probably be faster than they are because you can actually learn to use most of your bike where as they just won't ever be able to learn to.

True North Adventures Heck yes! Thanks for checking my channel out and for your awesome support on Instagram! It is very much appreciated! I would love to come back to Ontario some day soon. I rode in Calabogie for 5 days this summer and it was great!

J Blob Thank you! Yes I certainly do. I love Barry's videos. He's so funny .

Megan Griffiths Enduro right after b asked you he posted his video with witu and tim lol

Megan Griffiths Enduro did you not get footage from Odessa this year?

Colin Musschoot little to no clutch and throttle with small logs, just make sure to compress the suspension before the obstacle.

Colin Musschoot Hey Colin, For the smaller logs, you definitely don't need the clutch. All you have to do is compress your suspension prior to hitting the log and lighten the front end by leaning back. I always use the clutch no matter how high I need to wheelie just out of habit but it's definitely not a must.

Megan Griffiths Enduro ok thanks, that's kind of what I thought. I was beginning to figure out that compressing the suspension is the key. If you see a log coming at speed, does the same techniques apply?

Megan Griffiths Enduro Thanks for that.

Eric W. Glad you liked the vid! You can do all these techniques no problem on a four stroke. It’s actually much easier on a four stroke because it so much easier to control your wheel spin. They put power to the ground a lot better. Yes, I am in 1st gear when tackling these logs.

Nathan Cantrell Hey Nathan, Thanks for watching! You and your daughter's support means a lot. In response to her question, yes I almost always tell my mom when I'm going riding :) , especially if I'm going on solo rides. I make sure to let someone know who knows the area where I will be as well.
