Awesome! Kickstart Kenny will never retire the kickstarter! I was so glad to see him get a win this season! That’s a rider that has really been through it all!
He really is! Kenny has been riding really good this year, there is just so much competition! Barcia really surprised me too the second half of this Supercross season! I was bummed he went down at Nashville!
After recently buying my first adventure bike and new tech 7 boots and few adjustments on the gear shifter and 3 hours riding I worked out by trial and error the techniques you teach were the only way I could change gears. Stumbled across your RUclips video and appreciate you confirming it’s the proper way to do it. My ankle is definitely happier now. Cheers from down under Australia 👍🏾
Been riding 250 klx for years. Just bought my first pair of mx boots. Thought I'd made a serious mistake. After a lever adjustment and this video, I couldn't be happier with my boots. Thanks!!!
Just bought a new pair of AStars Tech 7 Enduro boots and this was a crazy challenge on my dual sport 700 - especially compared to my super slim moto boots on my Streetfighter. The one thing I would add - is checking out your shifter position. I actually lifted up my shifter position just a touch higher than my peg. Great video! 🤘🏼
Thanks for the tips , I just got some boots and was puzzled on how I was going to shift , now that you have given me something to practice I feel a lot more confident
This helped a lot. I just bought a pair of adventure boots (SIDI Adventure 2s) going from a more sport style boot. I ride a BMW R1200 RS - sport touring. I was struggling with shifting after years of riding street bikes. My motocross days are coming back to me thanks to your video. These instructions are excellent for all types of riding - you do want to be on the balls of your feet. Using the foot peg as leverage is a key instruction for up shifting! Thanks!
Gday Dakota, Thanks mate for taking the time to put this info out there. At 55 I’m just getting back into bikes after best part of 40 years away. I’m loving it. Recently bought a WR250 and best exercise I’ve had in ages. I bought all the good safety gear as my wife was dead against it and I’ll never hear the end of it if I hurt myself 😁. She sees how much I enjoy it, so she’s coming around and I’ve hopefully got enough sense to take it easy. This is exactly the issue I’m having in my Gaerne SG 22’s. I know it’s not the boots, it’s my lack of experience. I’m having issues shifting and am also sitting back down to shift as feel unco. Where I ride the terrain has you standing nearly all the time which is a great work out. I’m gonna get practicing when next out with that placement and leverage. Will find some leveller ground and start practicing the balanced standing shift too. Best advice I got recently from an experienced buddy was “you will go where you look”. It’s very true too. Thanks Dakota, much appreciated mate, have liked and subbed, Cheers, 👍👍🍻
This is super helpful, thank you. I didnt know you were supposed to ride on the balls of your feet, so I have been accidentally bumping into neutral all the time. This makes so much sense!
Thank you! Just bought tech 7s and went dirt riding for the first time after years on the road flicking the shifter up with sneaker like road boots withiut thinking and it was a real struggle, i stacked it too coz couldnt shit up so front wheel slid out.
nice! I was struggling to shift standing on my Tenere 700. Its a bit like a big dirt bike and therefore experienced some countersteering through the right peg, whenever I lifted the foot up to shift down. VERY NICE explaination... thank you!!
Good tips, I rode a Suzuki 125 as a young teen, then a 250. A couple seasons ago I swapped for a crf450r. Fun bike but this one has hurt when I’ve layed it down. Finally got my first Mx boots because of that and it was like I forgot how to ride 🤣
You make good points ! *some bikes like the Husqvarna 701 have a quickshifter, this can really screw you up even if you only gently touch the gear-lever with your boot*
I recently bought a dirt bike and received my off-road boots today. They are super stiff, probably due to the brand, idk, I'm new to this experience. Thank you for the help.
real helpful. i will have my bike i a month or so honda says. they say it will be in stock again and my name is on the list to get it. and i will get boots. and this was very helpful. i am a life long bmx freestyle rider and still ride and am over 50. but i got a dual sport on the way that i can take off road down dirt roads and fishing trips and camping etc. so this was great info
I just started riding in Alpinestars Tech 7 motocross boots and I found it difficult shifting because the pegs I have are ultra grippy and the bottom of the boots are ultra grippy so I just started using the heel of the boot to find the correct position and just shoving my foot under until the heel catches and then upshifting. Downshifting is much easier for me but I still use the heel at a catch point where I know I am in the right position.
This is all fun on bigger bikes but on a 50cc have fun pushing and pulling your leg every single second because you ran out of rpm😂 good video tough very informative
I have a crf 300 L EU 24., and I drove with Berik boots, it is extremely difficult for me to change gears, they are very big and stiff, I have no feeling, heavy.
I’ve seen some places where you don’t need to clutch when down shifting if there’s no load on the transmission, like in a low rpm, is that true. Getting my first bike in 2 weeks
I like to suggest always using the clutch just to save the bikes transmission when possible! You can shift gears without the clutch in those situations if your racing, and really looking for that additional edge. However if your just riding it never hurts to use the clutch!
SIDI boots with ankle hinge. Make sure toe area is small to get below shifter. Move shiver up one spline if needed. Lower rear brake pedal so yo dont drag rear brake. My 2 cents
What happened to the throttle when downshifting on a 4 stroke? It's important. You can lock up the rear wheel on a big single. 2 strokes are a whole different kettle of fish though. The only other thing I'd suggest is to wear them around the house as much as you can when they're new. You'll help break them in as well as get your feet and reflexes used to more support and also the increased stiffness.
that’s where i’m at man i’ve been riding since i was 10 and not once wore a pair of riding boots and now im a size 14 foot so i have to fully renovate the way that i shift because it’s a completely different way to ride
I can’t feel anything when I have boots on and I rely on feeling like I can’t tell if I’ve actually changed gears or not and with the break it I just place it on the break I’m actually pushing down flat on it and there clunky as hell
This is a very common problem when first learning how to ride in boots. With shifting you will want to learn how to hear the rpm level of the dirt bike, and judge a gear shift based on that. Even once you get more comfortable you will still miss the gear shifter every once in a while, however it will become a habit in your riding to learn how to move your foot to the gear shifter or brake lever and back to the proper foot position! Keep practicing as this will become much easier with time!
Ya know what? I realized watching this that downshifting on fast bumpy sections does often cause my bike to drift off my intended line to the right, but i never associated that with the shift itself. I will be cognizant of that from now on. Thanks! Ps. I’ve been riding for many years, but still watch these beginner videos sometimes to check myself on basics of form and technique. I would never admit to this happening to myself or figure out the connection, i don’t think, simply because so much is happening so quickly when you ride at your limit that such things seem too random to pin down….blame it on the terrain, or the bike, or yourself but not sure why. Hope it helps!
You thought right. Only time you need it during a race is when you mentioned it. Been racing for 20 years and have never busted a trans by slamming gears.
I traded my 1290 Super Duke for a Husq 701E, and switched from road boots to Gaerne SG22 this week. I have 40 years of road boot behavior to unlearn. Not to mention throwing my weight in the opposite direction in corners. I feel like I'm right back to that scary period where wrecks are way more likely. I'm 6 foot 2 and I have pegs on the way that are 20mm lower and 20mm back. The 701 does not seem to be set up to have the brake pedal low enough either. Most of the adjustment range seems way too high to be useful. Especially in MX boots.
@mntbigker I'm in the same boat. Loving my new 701E but tried it with new SG22's today and gave up and put my old boots back on. There's so little space there. Which pegs have your ordered that are 20mm lower and 20mm back?
@@juliusbaumgartner5361 Already done thanks. I also have a stepped aftermarket cleat. I have reverted to road boots until I get more comfortable on road. I'm feeling probably too confident on the bike lately. ;) With 50/50 tires this bike is so much fun it should be illegal. I'm so glad I didn't get something supposedlymid-size that weighs another 100 pounds. THIS bike is mid sized. And it's one of the only ones that actually IS.
My issue with my boots they feel too big and brand new .... Shifting down is simple but shifting up seems to be a bit of an annoyance but as you say its something you haveto get past
As you keep wearing your boots they will break in any get easier to move in! It’s something that’s awkward at the beginning, but you will get used to it! Just work on articulating your foot under the gear shifter, and this problem will go away before you know it!
Absolutely, always feel free to reach out with questions you have! I also have a book, that covers 25 shocking secrets you must know before riding a dirt bike. Just leave your email on radadventuredude.com and I will send you your free copy today! So glad to help!
I bought the wrong boots ( plastic slippy) compounded with a what seemed extra short gear changer which caused me to miss shift often. Solution bought leather boots ( soft ) and changed the gear peg😮
Hey there, My question is about your fly f16 jersey and pants; I want to buy exactly same gear, could you please tell me your height and weight and what sizes you are wearing this particular items. So I can compare and order for myself. Thank you.
I have Gaerne SG12 motocross boots. They are great boots and very comfortable but they’re stiff because they are very protective. It has only taken a few half hour practice sessions for me to get the hang of this. If I can do it, anybody can.
What boots you wearing? Lol. Your ankle moves WAY more than mine does. I know you’re saying not to use your ankle, but you’re clearly getting some pivot out of those boots. It’s like, 5-15 degrees but that’s hugely helpful.
Simple solution: buy an electric bike, like Stark Varg. But in all seriousness, I am sure you are a Pro, but to me it sound like a cast dilemma: to wear a cast after you break a leg or to wear a cast every time you ride.
I HATE how narrow the Japanese keep making the gear pedal to the footpeg, i can never jam my foot in correctly to shift up, I have big feet US size 12, and with the obligatory stupid heavy boots, i struggle to shift. Wuen on my civilian bike, no problem, I ride with tennis shoes, so easy, but with boots I just can't.
Stupid boots, whoever came up with this idea is evil ! They could have made the boots at least more flexible at the ankles in the up and down direction.
Thanks bro, shifting in boots is easy thanks to you. Can you please do a tutorial on high heels? Ain't nothing tougher then leaning into a steep turn with a pair of Gucci stilettos wrapped on thee ole dogs.

Yes it helped. A rider gotta have their boot game on point for sure, especially if you Kickstarting a 450 like K Roc
Awesome!

I hear people say use leverage and then I see actual pros that do classes say not too
I don’t think there is a wrong or right way however you can get it
I just received my tech 7. And spring service is needed before I get out there. Good advice here…

When I bought my first pair I was convinced it was safer riding without them lol. Once I heard practiced more riding without them no longer felt right

Wearing protective shorts and flip-flops solved shifting problems for me.😮
Good one...😂 ha ha love it..
To shift up, do you grasp the lever with your toes and pull it up?
Exactly!

Do you do mostly street riding?
@@RadAdventureDude I am trying off road,I am a begginer,it is hard for me to shift standing up

yeah, he has expensive flexible boots. most affordable boots dont bend at all. you have to lift your knee to shift.

Change that a Little bit difficult to shift into impossible to shift with new boots and they never loosen up
Simple solution: buy an electric bike, like Stark Varg. But in all seriousness, I am sure you are a Pro, but to me it sound like a cast dilemma: to wear a cast after you break a leg or to wear a cast every time you ride.
My bike is small and I can’t even shift
How else would you shift a dirt bike?
Buy right boots then it solves the problem.
Sidi crossfire is easy to shift and orotective

Exspecially
too slow for hard enduro, and imposible with 13.5 boot size...
To start with only buy boots with a hinge ankle ie Gaerne or SIDI simple just sell your wife to pay for them haha .
Also i have ben riding my whole life
This is a great video and well presented, but for the love of god, the word is "especially", not "expecially"
