HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2017
- It's time I learn how to ride an enduro motorcycle off road! Or relearn, I guess. After a recent surgery and break from the dual sports and dirt bikes, I "unlearned" bad habits and replaced them with proper riding techniques and positions. These 4 riding tips have made an ENORMOUS difference in riding dirt bikes and dual sports off road! I have more stamina and less ache. I ride faster, more in control, and with far more confidence with these simple suggestions. So if you have any questions about how to ride a dirt bike, you MUST LEARN THESE BASICS!

Great tips, thanks for helping build my off road chops!
Thanks for the great content. I just recently bought my first bike. Listening to you explaining about gripping with your knees, toes in hits home with me. I used to ride horses, English style, and we use that method on horseback. Hopefully this will be a bit easier for me to get and keep in practice in the future. As for the elbows...my family hate me at the dinner table, I am practicing elbows out while we eat 😂
Great tips and an awesome edit! Loved it
I love YOU! Dude on your "Scrambler" video I about peed my pants! You are ON FIRE!
Great info, man. Thanks for explaining it so well. Your teacher roots shine through in videos like this. So great to see you back on the bike.
Great video - Thank you! I am the proud owner of a new KLR 650 and while I've ridden extensively on the road in my life, I am a complete novice off-road. I just took her off the pavement for the first time yesterday and I saw first hand how much I have to learn!
I'm in the EXACT same boat. Cruiser guy my whole life, just got the 650 and I feel like a real weenie. It is a completely different set of skills
You and I have very different definitions of 'Prairie Doggin'
Yup. It means you have to find a toilet pdq...
Loool!
I see you too, are a man of culture.
i call this turtle heading but I have used prairie doggin once or twice lol
Ground Hoggin
as a person who bought drz400 last year and almost never ride trails and off road at all, im thanking you, you are giving me the courage to go and try it out by myself
thanks again, love your videos you are truly inspiring!
Great tips! It's amazing how much of a difference something simple can make.
Getting your weight forward on the bike, whether standing or sitting, for example, makes it so much easier to control the bike.
Thanks for the video! I appreciate all the tips all apply them when I go out ridding again
Great advise for a new off road rider, such as myself! I plan on moving out to a place like Utah with lots of trails someday.
Such a great video, brutha! Been riding since I was kid, but never really was able to articulate some of these ideas clearly enough. So, thanks for this one!!
Happy to see you back at it. It's always refreshing to reevaluate your approach to a discipline no matter which discipline it is. You always come away with some new perspectives. Thanks
Thanks for putting this together! You're good in front of the camera, very concise and well layed out edit. Sub'd.
Just applied those tips the past 2 rides i had, completely improved my riding skills
I just have to say something now, THANK YOU, YOU ARE REAL MVP!!
I've seen a number of your videos and I figured you were already doing this stuff🤔 You're going to be unstoppable now 👍
Great video. Perfect length. Enough explanation, some great first-person examples of these tips in use, but not overly lengthy. Thanks for posting. I have never been good on dirt, but I am gonna get the little TW200 farm bike out and do some practice!
I was gonna jump on a bike and go as I'm very old and stupid, luckily this video appeared, so it might just save me from some pain.
Thanks
First-time rider and bike owner, grew up on the east coast in the city. And I don't really know a lot of dirt-bikers out West here, this was the perfect introductory vid with some super basic and incredibly helpful tips. Gabe is a great teacher, keep the basics vids coming!
Awesome video! Thanks for the great info. I just got my first bike about 5 months ago and it was funny when I watched the video and realized I was doing the same stuff. I'm anxious to ride and implement these coaching tips.
Great job, keep up the good work!
Thanks, great vid presented really well! Look forward to more!
i followed your techniques today.. made a huge progress in my riding abilities.. Thanks for the video! You ROCK!
Thanks much. About to go get my first dirtbike ever. Watching as many vids as possible.
Man I've spent the last two days just watching all these videos. Amazing stuff man. I gotta come out to Utah and ride these epic rides!
Great tips! I'm getting back to dirt riding after years of street and road racing. A lot of these tips improve control and comfort during street & track riding as well. Clamping the tank between your knees is the key to a relaxed grip on the bars and allows for smooth throttle, brake, and clutch actuation.
Thank you so much for this valuable lesson for those dirt bikrer especially for beginner like me.
great advice, humbly delivered. Thank you.
anyone notice an office chair on the left at 0.43....interesting
glitch in the matrix
That is literally EXACTLY what I was going to type....
Nice catch😂
Great video. Knew about everything but position of the feet but I never realize how important they were. I've been riding 16 years and was impressed by these simple tips. Good to see you back on a bike Everide!
You're such a good narrator, dude. Really easy to listen to. Thanks for all the great uploads!
Thanks for sharing...good job of analyzing the body positions to enhance the riding experience...
Def a vary infomative video loved it will implement in my rides have to wait till the snow clears though ty doug from gunnison CO
This Has Been The BEST Informational Video Ever.!!!! Seriously. Keep up the AMAZING work.
Thank you for the great Video and the exzellent explanations and given details! Keep on !!!
Thank you , Thank you, Thank you! Tyler, I'm an hour away from suiting up for a local dirt rip with some buddies and I came across this vid. I need all the tips and coaching I can get. Like you, I've "heard" most of these riding tips before. However, you inspired me to really put this tips to the test today. Cheers buddy!
Thanks for sharing. Im in a similar situation started riding first in my family and just trying to pick up tips and tricks, and shake the bad habits that I'm not aware of completely. Definitely going to subscribe and keep following and putting these to the test.
This is great stuff. Preparing to ride the TAT and now I have some skills to practice.
Great video, and very helpful for this beginning rider. BTW, I installed Fastway pegs on my XT250, which allow you to shim them so they force your knees into the tank -- very helpful.
Hahaha... This is what I was looking for since ages. Thank you so much. subscribed already.
Great video and info thank you, I have been riding dirt over 30 years and I’m still learning:)
I just want to say thank you for all these videos and keep on keeping on. I was in Moab in the middle of March but we got kicked out because of the Rona virus. Only got a couple days in down there but I want some more. That place is amazing! Your videos of Moab made it easy to choose where I rode. Just..... Thanks!
They have been said many, many times before yet they seem to need be said many, many times over again. Awesome info. These tips will work but only if applied. Knowing is not enough.
Soooo true! I just needed a serious kick in the pants to get out and DO them... over and over... with nothing else on my mind other than DOING THEM. It's hard to practice fundamentals because you get out and you just wanna ride, but Gabe is an awesome coach and it was REALLY good to have somebody on the Sena coaching me!
Good stuff.
Bro, i dont know if this is cuz of me but ur channel is fucked up!...
Not in a bad way xD But for some reason i can't go to ur vids its gets an error and i can't even subscribe dude! So sorry.
I checked other channels, in hope that youtube is fucked and it will be fixed but no.. it happends just here.
Anyway u have good vids! inspirational! keep it up! ... oh guess what i cant even send a comment
oh great i can reply
Crap man I hope it gets fixed!
I old, I have poor technique and I like pie too! This vid was a great find, Thanks
love your uploads. thx. greetings from switzerland
Those are fantastic tips!!! I'll be trying those out next ride for sure. Thanks man!!!
Great video, first time I see this explained to this detail. Helps allot! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Haha. I love prairie doggin' and taking in some good scenery!! Loving your vids as I begin to hone my super new dual sport skills.
I came into the DualSport world from riding Mtn Bikes and a lot of these concepts are the same for mountain biking, so I already had some of these habits down.
Great content on here man. You just earned a sub. :D
I'm a brand new Rider and just bought a Honda CRF 250l. I can't wait to apply these tips
I missed you everide. Thank you for posting more videos.
Again, really great vid.
Thems some awesome trails man!
This is exactly why I lift weights four days a week and stretch daily. If ya think fitness is not important in offroad riding, ask the rider who just rode circles around you what they think. Oh, congrats on being back on the bike.
Fitness is my biggest struggle during a race. So true!
dont need to lift weights for offroad riding...just balance balance balance - slackline, unicycle, balance board, trials bike, core training, running and stretching
i lifted weights. loading rail cars -2/3 bushel boxes of pears. 2,500 boxes- 500,000 pounds- 1 hour- its done & the doors were sealed. then- here came the long haul trucks- dozens- monday tru friday. 160 lbs 19" biceps- popeye forearms-- made decent $ AND made for epic sunday single track rides-- those are real muscles- soaking wet with sweat breathing hard at work 9 hours + each day. The weight lifters at work? good for about a week tops-- too much bulk, not flexable- no wind in there sails--- pardon spelling--
@@davebaird4550 2500 boxes in an hour, amazing. That's literally a box every 1.4 seconds. was school uphill both ways as well? :))
@@michail1963 AND, lift weights! ANY motocross professional will tell you the same thing.
Excellent vid. Thanks for sharing. Plan to put these tips to use this weekend.
Thanks for that , learnt some thing today .. and going to try it ... cheers mate 👍
Nice tips man! The shorter version of this video turned out really good. I have been trying a lot of these while riding and it feels a little awkward at first but I think it has been helping! Can't wait to put them to use in Utah one day!
I rode dirt when I was younger then went to mountain bikes in my 20s this is where I learned all of these skills. I had the privilege of learning these skills from the New England motocross champion from the 60s Mr. Joe Collins! He taught me how to downhill and go FAST & SMOOTH WITH the same technique as you’re talking about! I don’t mtb anymore cuz I’m 51 now! But I am going this direction now!! Great video!!!
Golden tips for newbies as well!! Can't wait to get to try this stuff out on the field :D
.nice video. I learned these things when i had motorcycle lessons in the netherlands.. They are good for almost any bike or riding style.
Since 11 years old when I got my first bike a brand spanking new beastly ttr-125 I was riding wrong. T-Rex arms, straight knees or sitting down too far back on the seat. It wasn’t until I was about 22 when I got another bike and had RUclips at my disposal that I learned all this stuff and it helps sooooooo much.
Tyler: Another excellent video. I can't wait to try these riding tips next time I go out. I too ride with my feet arches on the pegs but do not point my toes out. Thanks again.
l learned a couple things by watching this video.
I'll go throw around my loaded down DR650 with an 7 gallon tank and test it all out.
Seriously, great video, Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Same, except KLR650.... man do I miss a good suspension though
this is the kind of video I needed thanks
As a long time rider this helped me recognize some “comfortable” mistakes I’ve always made, thanks!
Great tips. Thank you for sharing!
Great advice. I started riding when I was 12. Now that I'm back at it on a DRZ after a few decades of a break, it's like starting all over again.
Another great tip I picked up from Jimmy Lewis at the Touratech rally is always keep one foot in place on the foot pegs. This is for slow speed maneuvering stuff while sitting down. Having both feet off you lose all control. Standing is of course usually advisable, but often I find I am able to corner faster with my butt on the seat MX style
Hey man i love the everide chan chan. Great for waking up in the am with a coffie
What a great video dude! Thanks for the tips
Thanks EveRide, I'm definitely going to try focusing on these exaggerated body positions next time I ride off road!
It's funny how many people have told me I needed bar risers because I ride in this low crouched position in the technical stuff but it works, LOL! Awesome tips!
Hi Tyler, enjoyed your video while it is snowing here in Ontario, Canada. It's my day off and I was looking for a few videos with tips for riding off road as my off road riding definitely needs work. I (Summer) enjoyed this again today and appreciate the tips as reminders for the upcoming season. After being off my motorcycle for almost six months again, it is great to refresh on the key body positioning to keep in mind. Have a great day!
Nice video! my Son just got his first dirtbike, i will show him your advice on riding.
Have you watched On any Sunday with your son yet?
Great motorcycle flick.
Didnt realize I had those bad habbits >< time to go relearn lol. LOVE THE VIDEOS
Excellent video. I am SO guilty of the same bad habits, now Its my turn to cowboy-up and start doing it right. Looking forward to your other vids.BB, Spokane Wa.
Probably the best riding video I have seen. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video, im just starting out and these are some great tips!
This has been the most helpful off-road riding video for beginners I have ever watched. It deserves way more views! Keep up the good work! Now out to the pits to put these tips to the test
awesome, can't wait for the next vid! keep them going.
Damn! I always love your videos, thanks for all the tips, I'll let you know how I get on ;)
Subscribed! Cant wait to watch more of your content! Thanks
Great video! Just got my first bike, a Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled and although I got it with the intent to take it off road all the time, I've crashed almost every time! I'm 38 and didn't grow up riding, but have always been fascinated with motorcycles. The on road stuff seems a lot more intuitive and I've been having a blast this winter (even though its been mostly in the mid 30's this winter, here in Utah County) Anyway, I'm stoked to go out and try theses techniques and see if I can stay on my bike for once! And just so you know, your channel is one of the big influences in finally getting a bike, like I've always wanted. Killer channel! And if you're still recovering from your surgery, best of luck with the recovery!
I just got operated for Bumtato too... You gave me so much hope and a whole new perspective 😍 thanks bro
Good tips! I have been doing most of those, but not the ball of the foot so much. Need to work on that one.
Good stuff!! Not only as a reminder for me, but as I work with my 13 year old daughter on her crf230f . This video will help improve both are riding skills.
go compete in a beginner trials event and you will learn all these things naturally....going slow will teach you these things so you can go fast naturally plus a lot more...and you don't need a trials bike to compete in the beginner class....but watch out trills riding/competing is very addictive.....
Thanks for the tips ! Love your video
love it.... thank you so much keep going.....
If you start an exercise program, think about incorporating mountain biking. I'm no expert mt bike rider, but after having been off a moto for about 30yrs, I found the techniques highly transferable and prob saved my butt on my "first" off-road moto ride. Granted, it had been awhile since I was a pedal pusher, but when I recognized the similarities, I put the knowledge (as best I could remember, and almost exactly what you describe here) into practice it helped immensely. Great vid, great advice. Glad to see you back in the saddle!
Great video! I laughed I cried and I learned. In a commercial got me wanting to go round up some A-laygals
I did exactly the opposite of you. I started riding off road at 47 years old and knew it would all be about technique. So I signed up for clinics and learned only proper skills because I am too old to unlearn bad habits. The result is that I became a much better and faster rider than I thought was possible. It was a steep learning curve with lots of crashes, broken bones, and pain. However, it was sure worth it. I got my "B" card and recommend signing up for as many races as you can.
How old are you now? I'm up there and just starting myself.
GDay mate. Not sure how I came across this video as I'm a road rider with a Tiger 800, but it was great to watch. New Sub. Thanks.
Awesome video Tyler. I never really noticed how my feet were resting on the pegs. I am going to have to try these out next time I am out.
It's kinda hard to focus on basics when you're out having fun... but if you have somebody there to coach you, or if you just kinda ride in a short loop so your mind sticks on the basics, then it'll work nicely!
Great tips. Suprising how much energy get zapped out of you wen tense and trying to force the bike. Nice video keep it up
Good stuff! Well explained and fun to watch.
Say ... how about a tutorial vid featuring heavier bikes in the dirt?
Good stuff there Tyguy! Keep up the good work.
Really well done video! I learned a lot. Thanks!!!
Your bike is awesome!
Moab is on my to do list been through there in a 18 wheeler want to ride out there ever since
Lmao I had no idea he rode. I randomly walked in to a store as a kid and he hooked me and my family up, with that awesome mop and rags! For free! Lol it lasted us for years and my mom loved it.
Great video!! Wondering what off-road dual sport bike is gonna be good for me. I hope you Feel better from your surgery! Thank you for speaking on these exercises!! And small but big differences of your body. I haven’t found anyone describe this!! Great job!!
Really useful video. Thank you for sharing.
Front brake made me endo in a small ditch nothing broken, but thigh was impaled by my pipe. You never stop learning.
