Love your videos. A few weeks ago, I was at a harescramble race, and the first obstacle was a slick off camber short hill. I was walking it with another racer, and I described how I planned to pull in the clutch, crack the throttle open almost all the way, and roll off the throttle as I let the clutch out, to get up the off camber section. The other racer said, "Power Collection and Delivery!" and I said, "the IRC Tire Guy!" We both laughed.
Leaving the actual techniques aside, you’re such a good instructor. It’s great to see people doing what they’re great at. I know a few good riders who just can’t explain anything, give no encouragement, just don’t feel it. I love how you work with people. Too bad I’m on the other side of the pond. I’d love to attend your courses…
I can tell you love teaching this stuff Rich, your explanations are top notch. I’m a trials rider and always struggled getting my rear tire to loft up obstacles and now with this concept I think I can dial in my timing. Thanks for the share!
Honestly this is one of my favorite videos you have put out! Seeing it done as a class with multiple people all making slightly different mistakes of collection and delivery of power and seeing you correct it makes it much easier to understand how to do it. Can't wait to get out and do a thousand reps!!
Damn ! I can't do that with my 2003 WR250F, just because of that fu...ing bog I can't get rid of ! Thank you so much for all those videos, they are gold ! I've been watching them for years !
Tour carb should be a cr pumper. Flat little rubber membrane needs replaced in carb. Little pump sprays a tiny jet of fuel when throttle is opened quickly. If it lacks a pumper carb then raise your needle 2 clicks by moving clip toward tip 2 notches. Problem solved...
Iv finally had a chance to get some trail $ single track time in on my crf300l. I did better than I thought. Haven't ride offroad since I was young. Watching these videos absolutely have helped. Just need to make food habits.
Great video, I hope people understand. I just tried explaining this to my daughter like two weeks ago. She is a new rider. I realized it really helps if you understand engines and what flywheel weights do. And why. So as I was explaining it I realized she had no idea what I was talking about. She loves when I mansplain, but nothing I said worked. So as with anything in life practice practice practice trial and error, rinse repeat.
thanks for sharing the secrets - not of how it works, but the way how to learn it makes it so valuable - great. Just tried on off out in at my office desk - wiered - thought I can handle gas/clutch after 40 years riding - had to laugh ;-).... but after 2 min. - first progess on my dry run! regards from Germany!
Great job teaching, as always. Been practicing this since your earlier videos; but I need to practice way more, as my consistency is still quite questionable.
Fantastic demonstration. I'm wondering if, for students having trouble with the timing, you get them to 'out-in' late consistently (so that they totally separate the 'on-off' from the 'in-out'), then get them to start bringing it closer? Give the brain a little more time to develop the pattern needed.
That’s exactly how we do it in the classes! But no matter how you approach at the hardest part is bringing them closer together without overlapping them. The key is repetition and obsession! Thanks for watching
@@IRCTireUSAMotodid you by any chance first notice this after riding the ebike? After riding mine I realized just how much of learning to ride over the years was really learning how to keep a gas engine happy, but I didn't realize until the ebike
Not to be a stickler on words but it’s angular momentum that you are looking for. Still correct about potential energy. For me, I’m still working on your technique here. People at the OHV park prolly think I’m an idiot because I do this on trial while waiting for my people to catch up. Awesome techniques !
Question. Which would be a better change? 9mm clutch master or lighter clutch springs? Sometimes I experience fore arm fatigue when riding technical terrain. Watching this video made me think of the arm fatigue, especially knowing I have to work on this technique.
Is this possible to do and learn these methods on a Honda 450L dual sport? It’s 295 pounds wet with everything. Or am I better off getting a 350? I need a dual sport for my application which requires 4 stroke. I ask because I never see a Honda on these videos.
Maybe you already covered this, but what happens if the throttle stays on, and not necessarily full throttle? Your double blip sounds like the rpm doesn’t fully drop on the second blip?
Well, if your throttle stays on, you’re gonna get way more of an input of power to the rear tire. That’s where the chance of looping comes in to play. That being said after the second blip, I transferred back to steady feed throttle and clutch together to maintain momentum over the top.
Not that it's needed, but some data logging of throttle & clutch positions would catch this and allow it to be displayed graphically. And no, I don't want to start wiring up my bike with sensors !
Been riding daily for 45 plus years. Of course i learned to drop throttle, pull clutch lever, shift, then apply throttle while simultaneously releasing clutch. My first water cooled 80cc 2t mx bike, a 1985 yz 80 was fast but always looking for speed. You want speed? Then pretend throttle is also a secrt clutch. We can all pull and release a lever quick. But hold full throttle, blip it 1/8 turn forward then right back to full. Faster than a clutch pull and release no doubt. Forward blip is lever in, SHIFT! Then back to full is lever out. Its about practicing it for exact timing. Years later i blip-shift everything even my Harley...
Hmmm. The on/off timing of the clutch seems similar to getting the sound you want out the high hat on a drum kit. To be fair, I'm learning this stuff (drums and moto) real late in life. I'm all thumbs...
I can't help but imagine a dirtbiker gang in south park rolling up somewhere and intimidating people by doing the on-off-out-in motion collectively. This needs to become the dirtbiker's new universal greeting. Btw, I wish you'd offer a clinic in Germany!
Stop it man. I came from trials and I'm not that fast. If everyone is hopping over picnic tables at lunch I won't be the slow stunt guy, I'll just be the slow guy.
My friction plates last hundreds of hours. I change the oil at the regular intervals. This is what modern wet clutches are made for. It’s not 1990 anymore. Thanks for watching.👍
@@philipraposo8324 Haha it wasnt that serious though, just figured when using a bike to teach alot it would wear out pretty fast. I know I've slipped my clutch alot, done literally many hundreds of clutch dump wheelies and it still works after 25 000km of riding on street, deep snow, deep mud, -20c weather, +30c weather, overheated upto boiling many times when doing slow riding. Kind of insane what regular oil changes can do :)
@@IRCTireUSAMoto I see, sorry for underestimating to be honest :) My bike is from the 1990's by the way and ive had the same clutch since 2003 on it 😉 Cheers!
😮 Great training video. Dude where are you before I went up to the Rubicon? There were a lot of obstacles requiring whatever the hell it is. You just explained 🤬 anyway I've gone twice and I'm going again on, off 🪄out-in😂

What was good there is at 12:56 its shot from the clutch side, so you can see the movement whilst listening to the pitch of the engine.
🙌
On-Off, Out-In, great way to remember. Association works for me. Awesome vid as usual.
Awesome! Thank you!
I was at this clinic! Fabulous! Rich is phenomenal!

Yep! You’re exactly right! It’s all about understanding how things work! 👍 and lots of repetitions!
Armed with Rich's explanation, I was even able to climb a 1 meter high obstacle using a standard KLX 150 CC... it was truly amazing.
That’s awesome! I’m stoked for you!

As a motocrosser, it is SO hard to make your brain pop the clutch out when you chop the throttle. Decades of gas+clutch is very hard to turn off
Totally understand that!
Real valuable video rich. Thank you.
Absolutely incredible insight.
High dexterity is so important in this exercises.
Absolutely!!
U the best , Thank you for bringing such valuable and accurate information 💯
I appreciate that! Thanks you!
Please come to the East Coast (eastern Pennsylvania). I'm struggling so hard with this.
Hope to make it there!
East Pa as well. Wish we had more training here. I have 13 acres of hard enduro land that I own for it!

Is front brake right before throttle, or are they at the same time? That is the most difficult!😢

Me neither! But maybe one day!!
For science!
You are my best tutor! tell me please, can i do it on 4t bike the same, or its different?
It’s very similar just needs that precision
Does this work with 4 strokes as well?
The real question is when r u in Socal??
Should be January 2025! Keep an eye out on richlarsen511.com

Yes it absolutely works! Double Blip Tutorial! Can a 4 Stroke DOUBLE BLIP??

On-off, out-in! Oh yeah!
This is kind of like learning to play any musical instrument.
Rich: MEOW! MEOW!
😂
I read this comment at the beginning of the video and didn't understand... when he started meowing i lost it😂

You’d love taking one of my classes… I talk alot about drumming. Learn your rudiments! RLRRLRLL 😁
Where are your classes taking place? Anything available closer to CA?
Southern California in January. 2025 schedule should be up soon.

You are the best! I finally get it!
🙌 stoked
thanks , it's amazing explanation.
You’re welcome! Glad it helped.
Thank you !!
But how to progress with that? How to wheelie than? You have not showed
What is that thing on your hand?
Wrist brace
Awesome 🤘☮️ i do this with every bike i ride 😅
That's fantastic!
Gold!!!
Appreciate that!!
Good shit
Now I'm going to be out in the yard for hours when other things need to be done.
Love hearing it!
