Great video! The better you get at technical off-road, the better you'll be on road when you have to react quickly to an unexpected event! I'm almost 60 and just loving single track technical trails. One year and 4,000 miles under my belt. It's the funnest hobby I've ever had in my life. Lynx, V14, and a Falcon.
I put 6000 miles on my Extreme in 10 months. I started dirt biking when I was 10 years old. I have had every toy you can imagine. From snowboards to jet skis all kinds of bicycles to dirt bikes to street bikes to four wheelers….EUC is by far the funnest. I bought an extreme first and now I have a Sherman L. I am 50 years old. Stay safe. :)
I’ve only been riding for 7 months and just upgraded from aV12 to a Sherman L. I’ve done a lot of off-road riding but feel that my skills still have a long ways to go. Jeep trails are great fun but so far the single track trails I have tried are kicking my ass. Perhaps it’s partly the trails, rocky with deep ruts and now mud. I’ve finally got pedal clearance, suspension and a knobby since the upgrade, that helps a ton. Now it seems like I need to dial in the skills and fitness to throw this wheel around. I’m looking forward to your pointers on turning tho. It’s funny to hear you say to lead with your shoulders, when skiing you keep your shoulders perpendicular to the slope and let hips and knees do the turning. Maybe that’s why I’m fighting it so much. Thanks for the info, so far I’m rolling solo in Montana.
Hi TRUB ! Really proud of Tips about off-roading, specially for a beginner like me. You’re really good at explaining in detail that everybody can understand the mechanics of off-roading EUC and getting better at it. And the best expertize is to go out there and put it all in practice… Exited about the next videos about the off-roading advanced techniques. Thanks a lot for this content ! 😎👋🏼💪🏼🫡🎩
I have never seen your videos before... and wow. You were way more descriptive and made more sense than anyone else that has tutorials on eucs! Thank you so much! Liked and subbed 🤘
Great advice bud. I've been at it for 2 years now and while everyone has there own little twist on how to do it right.....there is only one right way and many wrong ones that work some of the time. Even the right way goes wrong from time to time. You did a great job explaining everything. jumps are still my bane. I do small ones and have great fun bonking rocks , roots ... etc but gaps sketch me out still and I case more table tops than clear hahaha. Most of my fear is that I only have the one wheel. I don't want to destroy my Master , and I'm 47... I dont want to destroy myself. I don't heal as fast as I use to HAHAHA Once I get my long range wheel I wont worry so much if my Master is down.
@@crazyeyepev9456 thanks dude, yeah having a back up wheel is great for peace of mind. I’ll be doing a new jumping tips video at the end of this run of tip vids, I want to spend the most time thinking about how to vocalize and film that one to hopefully keep it short but super on point. 👍
You're excellent ! there is so little of such qualified tutorials like that ! ...maybe it is of the sport still so rare ... idk, btw... I also ride offroad quite heavy and I can say that your explanations seems to be very precise and true... ..so big thanks for everybody , who is freshly into offroad and can hear and understand what you're talking {and riding) about... :)
Thank you! I’ve thought of doing videos like this before, even filmed them and just couldn’t really edit it into something I believed in. The positive feedback from riders has been great, gives me motivation to really try to nail the more advanced videos I plan on filming 👍
This is absolutely awesome, great first video of this style, keep doing them and you will get better and better. This was already super helpful more than you probably realize!
I agree with the others. A great set of tips. I wish I'd watched this a year ago. Just stuffed up landing a jump. I was daydreaming in the air. Lost some skin but the worst was a rock for inside my full face. Thought I'd broken my nose again but only a chunk from my nostril. At 62 I don't bounce as well as I used to! Hasn't put me off though 👍
@@julianandyvonne ah sry about your crash, sounds like your having a great time on your EUC tho! The things we do for our passions haha. I’ll be doing a few more tip vids soon. Hopefully the rocks stay out of your helmet for a while 🫡
@@trubttam Watching your videos always keeps me motivated. You're only as young as you feel. My wife always tell me "You're such a child" Sounds good to me :)
Great tutorial!! I’ve only got 500 miles of riding and most is that is on paved bike paths. I would like to do some off road or mtb trails so this gives me a few tips to start working on. Thanks for taking time to put this video together! Hope you continue to do more like this.
@@Delko-615 thanks! I really think the slow tight circles and practice going up and down curbs are great drills to practice before getting to the dirt!
@ I’ll work on the small circles next ride. I spent a couple hours riding through the yard (it’s right and a decent hill) and over the curbs for lots of reps. Hoping to get used to the rough right and jump/hop feel.
That is interesting, I have only ever gotten wobbles riding on the road, because offroad is always changing and not smooth it typically doesn’t create the resonance that induces speed wobbles. Do you get these wobbles when you are braking or just riding or something else?
@trubttam I get wobbles when Im braking, but I believe most likely related to my pads placement. I crashed twice because of it 😒 I have kong c3 clark pads and I didn't cut them, still one piece. They are to big for the lynx but I love how wide they are to cover my shins.
Its interesting to me to realize that after 3000 miles of riding trails and figuring things out myself, how almost everything you said here I've gotten. feels good to know I've been heading in the right direction. Here in the Michigan, the number one thing I hate is damp/wet roots that are an obtuse angle to your tire. It violently makes the tire track the root and throws you off. The next is pedal clips. ride safe Dude !
best bet is to try and get momentum going in the right direction and then try hop and become as weightless as possible while going over the roots and hope your momentum can carry you to the next safe bit, seeing as we think alike that's probably your plan already but figured id throw it out there!
Great video man. I'll be watching this a few times. One thing I still struggle with after 4k miles on my Sherman S is getting my pads "just right". Lots of great info here. Thank you for sharing.
painting the outline of my pads has been a huge help for me to dial in my pad setup, if i feel like i need it a few cm one way or another i have a nice visual reference to work with and can easily revert to my old outline if i dont like the change.
Great video!!!!! I ride trails often and still learned so much! Question, how do you navigate through patches of mixed loose rocks at lower speeds, maybe throw in a couple of larger obstacles to slow you down even more. Is de-weighting in a pumping motion the best way?
I would probably treat it almost like sand and just try to go in a straight line with some speed only slowing down or changing direction on not loose safe sections and yeah if something large is unavoidable just try to de-weight the wheel to clear it and keep going until the next safe spot.
Hey there! Great Video - thank you!! Would you recommend a larger sized wheel (20“) for a larger person? I‘m intersted in the begode extreme with 185 cm. Or does it not matter? Cheers
Personally I would always recommend 20” size wheels, I’m not a fan of 16”, people like to say they are nimble but as you start going faster that just means squirrelly and hard to keep on track. Larger tires also roll over obstacles easier.
How do you approach, go through and start in Soft sand patches. I can usually tell they are soft because I see the sides raised and where a wheel or footprint has gone through it already.
Approaching sand you will went to bring your speed up, the sand is going to eat up a ton of your speed and it’s going to be difficult to get acceleration in the sand. Try not to stop in sand but if you have to do a start from 0 in sand you will typically need to creep up to speed, be ready for it to fishtail and concentrate on keeping the wheel vertical, leaning the wheel in sand is bad. For riding sand in a turn where the sand is unavoidable you need to turn very gently without leaning the wheel too much. You will need to keep accelerating gently to mow thru the sand and will feel almost like being stuck in a yoga pose once you hit the right combination of acceleration and gentle gentle lean angle. Get into the pose and make very small adjustments until you are back on good terrain

Great tips . I totally agree about bailing out. When you give up you are done ,trust the e-force Luke

More to come 👍

How does the tnt tubeless knobby compare to the shinko
I don't have the TNT, the sample Apex I'm demoing shipped with a Kenda 262. The TNT looks very similar to the Shinko 244. My lynx has a Shinko 241.

For sand that goes around curves

Try not to stop in sand but if you have to do a start from 0 in sand you will typically need to creep up to speed, be ready for it to fishtail and concentrate on keeping the wheel vertical, leaning the wheel in sand is bad.
