    The algorithm brought me here and I’m glad it did. I’m looking to brush up and learn new skills and find out ways to practice. There’s a wealth of instructional videos on this site and I want to thank you for sharing your experience. Meg’s instructional video here is so well done. Really clear instructions and the filming is just fabulous- whoever filmed this did a fabulous job! The angle you chose to emphasise various points and the slow motion shots are really helpful when trying to understand what you are supposed to do. I don’t want to ride off road at Meg Braap’s skill level, but WOW! That lady is an astounding rider! I was interested to watch because I’m a small man: 5’ 8” with 31” inside leg so I wanted to learn how to cope better. I picked up loads of tips on how to use my own weight, but I’m just blown away at how she flew up that dry river course. I didn’t think anyone could ride a bike up there. I’d be way too nervous to even think about it! Hats off to you lady. I hope you’ve done more videos because you’re a really gifted teacher ( esp good with whoever filmed this video!) Thanks a lot from us in the uk

    Any taller riders who skipped over this video thinking it's not for them will be missing out. I'm 6'0 and have been working on most of these techniques over the past year and there's no doubt that they will elevate your riding to a whole new level regardless of your height. Meg was 1st place in the Grindstone Hard Enduro, so she can certainly walk the walk.

    Tip #1 is the one most male riders can't comprehend. I see many guys use strength to make bad habits work. These are the riders who need your class the most.

    I use a zip tie to secure the left foot peg up when loading my KLX 230 on my trailer because I kept getting really bad bruises from the peg hitting my calf and then I would lose my balance.
    Once I unload my bike I cut the zip tie off.

      If you do this it will all transfer to motocross balance is the name of the game and once you get a feel for it carving out ruts and railing berms will become second nature!

    What are your suspension settings? Have you lowered the subframe or done anything different? It looks like the bike is quite low.
