You NEED this Skill! Full Lock Balance! Enduro Progression Series EP.6 

As you can see the stoke was high!! Thanks so much for following the series! Help us out by sharing this to anyone who needs it! Let's get the word out there and help everyone PROGRESS!

Had the pleasure of taking one of Rich’s class this past weekend in Dallas. The investment in time and $$ was so worth it. Fantastic teacher and rider!!!

Took three months for me to keep a lock turn, three years later I practice this before every ride. Thanks .

I love the fact that Mark does not talk when you explain the most important lessons keeping your chain of thought flawless while explaining, he is the perfect student for this, good listener, good humor, he use 4 stroke bike which stalls easier then 2T and most important of all he is short, giving us shorties hope lol.

i'm weaker on one side and this drill is great for that too! Love these; thanks SO much for doing these.

supreme series

Rich your enthusiasm is infectious and it's awesome to see how stoked you are for your student. I'm now planning to get out this weekend on the T7 to practice these drills and get my fundamentals sorted.

I love when you`re not cutting out little mistakes, that shows how difficult it really is Greetings from Germany, Andreas

Great job Mark!!! You didn't do too shabby either, Rich. :)

Such a huge thank you for sharing this knowledge Rich. I had known of the tight and slow figure 8 drills since I was a young rider some 50 - 60 years ago, and how to progress up to going slow. Leaning to ride at less than walking and even stopped with balance and no dab. These added balance drills Eps 1-4 have only further enhanced my skills as a veteran rider of single track and dirt and some road. By the way, these drills carry over to road riding also not just dirt and enduro. When my wife went to get her licence for a scooter last may 2022, the instructors stressed the importance of slow balance and slow speed bike control and had large figure 8s laid out on the ride track ( carpark) . My wife was riding a scooter in under 30 min with a level of confidence not previously held. My wife had never ridden a motorcycle nor scooter and had not ridden a push bike in over 30 years. So many riders have never leant the art of slow riding , It is such a shame. Tuning in From Aus by the way.

What says a ton to me about Rich, all he does,and he still has time to have a relationship with a dog like he does! I just lost my golden,2 month shy of his 14th birthday. He went everywhere with me including every race.

These instructional videos are incredibly helpful!

Very nice too see what kind of improvement is possible with a good team (great teacher and fantastic student)❤

Love this series! Been practising and seeing the results in slow control already.

Great series, I was so surprised at how challenging these exercises are... they look so easy. Cheers!

Love this series bruh! Can you do a video on work out routines that promote stronger enduro riding? Yes riding itself is best but not all of us can ride every day, a gym day specific workout would be dope!

Love this series. I'm not always able to load the bike up and go riding everyday but I'm able to practice these drills in my back yard anytime! My neighbors may not approve of all the braaping but ya can't make everyone happy!

AGAIN helpful video!! Cant wait for next week!! Cheers!

Love you guys 😂

Even your Dog felt the winner feeling

This one's a great drill for anyone, but especially those that can't break their bike on a bunch of rocks for a couple of paychecks 😂 Great video boys, looking forward to the inevitable finale with Marc doing one of the US hard enduro rounds 🤙

So proud of him!

3:30min "Beta don´t turn very good". Adjusting the steering locks and putting some dents into the radiators where the forks would hit them then helps a lot. There are some vids here on youtube showing this kind of mod. Helps a lot in tight terrain

Keep at it!!!

doggo directing the entire thing

Good to see Marks progress , I learned full lock turns on street bikes, due to being a courier in London - go past an address and need to do a 180 in a narrow street ? Instant learning 'opportunity' !

40'x20'. Good starting point. More cones on order now!!

Mark’s handle bar position possibly needs adjusting the bars look very high for his body statue brilliant video thanks guys…!!!

here is an idea that I learned as a paradigm when I was a ski instructor. Skiing is nothing more than your balance in motion (sound familiar?). the center of your own balance is the mass that is cradled by your pelvis. when you are riding, imagine that you have a bowling ball sitting in your pelvis. how does moving your 'bowling ball' effect your balance on your footpeg? how does moving your bowling ball effect what your bike does? go back to the lesson on balancing the bike from a standing stop. what you are doing is using the leg standing on the footpeg to lift your bowling ball such the that the bike stays balanced. the leg that was standing on the ground can only follow where your bowling ball goes.

Looking forward to each week’s video.

Great job! Ive been dying to work on these drills, but our CA riding areas have been closed from all the rain for 5+ weeks. soon!

Awesome episode!

In spite of the 4 stroke! great video

I love your videos.

thanks Rich. I must have missed something in the build up: if after the turns you're allowed to go back as you suggested, then it becomes a figure of 8 run and you can fit as many as you want.

Great series, thanks! Is audio a bit quiet or it's just me?

Great video!!! One question though, can you substitute buffet plates for cones? Asking for a friend.... 😉

Good job Mark. Can you not lower your bike though. I lowered my 501 and it makes a HUGE difference - and I put a bigger sprocket on the back to lower the gearing...great drill

what a cool drill! again! dude , you’re absolutely killing it. thx so much for the work you put into these videos. ps: what was the size of that rectangle?

On my T7, I spent 10 minutes practicing static balance from episode 1 and still can't get it, obviously doesnt work, I want my money back. Of course I'm being sarcastic, love the channel

great video very helpful, but it’s kinda hard to see the depth of the cones on video because the ground is so consistent maybe try some drone shots or a different surface

What bike is Marc riding? Thanks for the series!

What was the measurement of the box to start with?

good stuff. for the ALGORITHM!

More great vids Rich thanks again, I also try to practice your tuition as much as possible 👏🏻 One thing I have to say in this series is …. Why is Mark using a bike that is clearly too tall for him? He would have far more confidence and control if he wasn’t fighting the bike. I often feel the bike is riding him instead of the other way around. He’s a good rider and doing really well but I think his gains would be greater if he had more control/confidence in the bike. Just my thoughts !

He should buy a 2 stroke :D

I don’t know about the knuckleheads on the bikes, but let’s talk about how much of a good boy Roamer is. :)

he need 2 stroke bike too, and some low it. Bike is too hight for this man
