Hello rich your egoless communication speaks to me so clearly you are enlightened with so much awareness and insight you have help me get over my own ego your knowing the only difference between a good rider and a not so good rider is the good rider has failed more times then the not so good rider has tryed so humbling .And here you are rich a human just like us . Our efforts are inspiring
Great video. I wish something like this was out when I was 35, just getting into trials. Would have saved me a lot of lumps and bumps. Now that I'm 64, and even though I have 10 years of trials experience with the Wasatch trials guys, I need to avoid real challenging obstacles because I can't risk another injury. 99% success rate isn't high enough. However I love watching your videos and ride 4x a week in the Nevada deserts. Even at age I've become a better rider. You also converted me to IRC tires. I'm a huge fan.
Thanks Rich. You are not only a very skilled rider but an inspirational instructor. I am still riding the gnar at 70, and improving my skills thanks to your help at about the same rate that my physical body deteriorates. I have gone about as far as I can with my 500 fitted with an autoclutch and LHRB, so my new 300 should provide the necessary opportunity to advance my clutch control and overall competence. Learning how to ride without injury is now paramount, as old bones don’t heal very well. I find that the mental and physical benefits of hard enduro riding are unmatched and ride 200+ hours a year in all weather conditions. Going fast is not important to me, but riding skillfully and confidently is. The faster riders in my cohort have all faded away, mostly from painful and disabling injury. The mental chess game of solving the puzzle is endlessly entertaining for me. The slower speeds greatly reduce the chance of serious injury. Carry on my friend!
What a great talent for teaching. It seems to come from a place of the character of a good man. A jerk would never communicate in this manner. Well done. Thank you.
IRC guy - you are creating the best technical riding videos I have seen. So much quality upfront discussion of the techniques & great videos with commentary as you ride. Really appreciate it!
Love your vids. Dirt biking technique taught by a physicist. Not an expert in either one but your instruction approach is great for me. Ride a beta 300rr myself. Love this bike!
Really good stuff Rich. As far as I know no one is putting this type of content out, or at least not nearly as good. Thanks for all the hard work and delivering freaking awesome training for free even!
I've ridden 5MOH before and make no mistake there are some tough sections there but I found that so much of that terrain can look extremely intimidating but really isn't as difficult as your mind makes it out to be, staying fluid on the bike and good throttle and clutch control so you maintain momentum is all it really takes, once I stopped giving myself time to be freaked out about what was in front of me the ride became so much more enjoyable, don't get me wrong I still had my share of screw ups but once I got out of my own head it became much easier, I was surprised to see you doing this because your not much of a trail rider although 5MOH isn't really a typical trail either.
Thanks again for your hard work. Beta has the best engine imo. Most don't get it until they compare it to the pumpkin bikes. I would not trade mine for anything on the market.
Hi Rich! Can you do a special episode on how to deal with the technical terrains that is muddy and super slippery. Thats generally how most of our terrain looks like here in the Philippines! You make the best enduro training videos on youtube!
Hi ! from FRANCE where we have great place to ride, love your work, ride for 30 years, now on beta x trainer 300 2022 and enjoy. Love your coaching practice , still improving my skills . THX so much to share with us. Where can i have one of your jersey with your name on ?
Hey Rich! Congratulations, your work is amazing! I always struggle to decide which gear I should use, I feel like 1st has too much power but maybe I just need more clutch control. Which gear do you recommend for that kind of terrain? Thanks
well explained as always RICH, I have doubts about the appropriate gear in these sections, with beta 300 and a development of 13/48, which is better in first or second gear rich? thank you.🤙
Hello Rick. Do you have any race videos? I love the instructional vids, But I can't find any of you with a gopro doing your thing. Would be informative to see these things done in a race, tired and under the gun.
Is the 300RR going to be too much for a novice 210lbs woods rider ? Turned off by the thought of XTrainer because of its top end. Also seems the trainer is less popular if I wanted to resell.

Best dirt bike (enduro) content on the Internet! Hands down!
Great info as usual Rich. The point you make at 8':35" it's mega. Took me years to realise (coming from years of motocross)
another excellent video Rich, thanks
Hi Rich, this is pure GOLD - thank you so much to share it with us❤

Appreciate that!!
Great video full of lots of good information. Thank you

Thank you so much for the support! Stoked you enjoy the videos!
Absolutely amazing thank you
Thanks for watching!
I only got to realize I was riding in hell of hells with a dual sport. Such a Pain in the ass.
Love your vids. Dirt biking technique taught by a physicist. Not an expert in either one but your instruction approach is great for me. Ride a beta 300rr myself. Love this bike!
Man these videos make me miss my beta!!
Hoping to feel confident enough to run 5MOH one of these days.
Loving this series!
Got my first set of IRCs I’m putting on. Your videos made me switch from Dunlops. Can’t wait to try them out.
Same. All my future tires will be IRC
Thank you guys for the support!
@@IRCTireUSAMoto thanks for the great content and quality tires!

Loving the betas!!
My favorite.
Thanks!

Nice breakdown, but some image stabilisation would surely be welcome.
❤❤❤
I like the ktm Tpi 300 bikes, I’d be scared to mess with a carburetor. I have very little experience. But I’d like to try a beta.
Hey Rich! Congratulations, your work is amazing! I always struggle to decide which gear I should use, I feel like 1st has too much power but maybe I just need more clutch control. Which gear do you recommend for that kind of terrain? Thanks

Great series. What front tire do you like for east coast , Ohio fast changing conditions?
Vx 30 front
well explained as always RICH, I have doubts about the appropriate gear in these sections, with beta 300 and a development of 13/48, which is better in first or second gear rich? thank you.🤙
I’m running my bike stock so it’s 1448. I’m in first gear. I wouldn’t run 1348 on that bike. I probably run 1350 and keep it in second.
Well, I'm doing one thing right: I run ALL trails as high as possible ;)
Hello Rick. Do you have any race videos? I love the instructional vids, But I can't find any of you with a gopro doing your thing. Would be informative to see these things done in a race, tired and under the gun.
Show us this stuff on a 500 4stroke. For us old guys...😉😉
Great stuf....Which rear tire in this vid?
JX8 Gekkota and vx30 front

Are yah liken the KYB REAR? We just ripped 5MOH Friday
Loving it
Ahh, dinner with Rich Larsen. Learning skills and getting fat all at the same time. Cant help but hear your watch in my head, "You're burning fat.". 😁
Lol!! Burning fat or improving fitness 🤣
Not to take away from your skill or teaching ability but it don’t hurt to have long legs. 🤔😬
Which I don't have being 5'4
❤❤❤
