- How can you use Clutch and Throttle control to keep 'sends' like this happening when you're riding your dirt bike? Easy, Practice! ⚡🛑 Utility Can Caddy 🛑⚡shop.seattime....
Having precise clutch and throttle control is the best way to transfer power from the engine into forward momentum.
Using visualization to prepare for a hill climb, a new jump or a new riding technique, is a great way to gain confidence in yourself.
What are your thoughts on those that rode up Cone Hill at the Revlimiter Extreme Enduro? What did you learn from watching this and how will you implement it into your weekend routines?

Awesome topic! I'm really not qualified to give advice, but I would like to add something Jarvis taught us which is probably meant to be applied to shorter hills/obstacles "heavy throttle right before the obstacle, very little throttle in the obstacle as the flywheel will carry you through with traction."
You nailed it! If you watch Teodor Kabakchiev go up the hill, he does just that. By the time he has 5-8 feet left climbing up the hill, he's off the throttle, standing up and leaning forward, just waiting to crest the hill. He also rides for Jarvis' Team, so it makes sense he did EXACTLY what Jarvis told y'all to do!!!
Great vid man! Always love seening my little brother get some recognition!
🤘 He's an awesome rider and dude! Just saw some moments in time where we could all get better. Let's not film me too much in the future though. We'll have too much footage to work with 🤦🏻♂️
You rock, dude! You are so much more versed in moto/mtb than I am - I really appreciate people who have knowledge and talent from years of experience who pass it on to groms like myself! Keep it up, dude!👍👌 😀 👏
You got it! I don’t know everything, and that’s ok. What I do know I want to help people with, and what I don’t know I want to learn. That’s how we continuously grow. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
visualization is used in many different sports, it works. There is a book called "with winning in mind" if you compete, get a copy.
Added to the read list, thanks! As crazy as it sounds, the book The Inner Game of Tennis is an EPIC book on visualization and flow. amzn.to/3EvYVZo
Good stuff Woody!! Interesting observation on momentum....every single rider who made it up easily was OFF the throttle for the last 5 feet, cuz momentum!
I really liked Teodor's climb up the hill as well. He got on the gas about 3/4 of the way up, but where it got steep. You can see him throw his body weight forward for the steepness and to keep the front wheel from lifting. Once he got off the gas, he just coasted right over the lip. That technique is soooo cool to see and learn from.
Good video 👍
Right On, Thanks!!!!
Just bought my first bike throttle control is what’s kicking my butt rn..
Start slow, and keep practicing. It comes with time. The Graham Jarvis clinic video we put out has some great techniques to leverage.
Does this apply differently to 4 strokes?
And another excellent instructional vid
Great Question! Concept is the same, application can be a bit different. Four strokes don't need to stay "in the power band" like a two stroke does. Four strokes can also have more torque (depends on how you have your two stroke setup); They certainly have more 'quick response' horsepower.
Direct Answer. For a hill climb such that we see here, it's a little less important on a four stroke. As you start to attack more "hard enduro" obstacles, fine tuned clutch/throttle control is still a must.
didnt have feet on front side of pegs standing on them so he just fell offs. Right leg was already off. so all he had holding him on was his arms.
Great Feedback! Thanks for continuing the conversation!!!
I like to use the clutch to apply precise power, but a bunch of folks yell at me for over using it.
Are you replacing clutch plates every ride? Doubt it. You’re probably not over-using it.
@@SeatTime no, But my bike likes to overheat every other ride or slightly more often than that
@@CommieHunter7 What bike, make, model, year, etc?
@@SeatTime 07 KTM 250 XCF. Water pump impeller looks ok, but I have a new one anyway. No issue with head gasket, and plug looks an ok color usually. Have a fan But it does get hot. Last race was a mudder, so there was tire spin, clutch slipping, and packed radiators. I'll have to give it another go in good conditions, as I've been working on it and maybe any bike would have steamed in those conditions.
@@CommieHunter7 I was going to ask if you had a fan, I had to have those on my older KTM four strokes. Any damage, or air-flow restrictions, to the radiators? What coolant are you running? Have you looked around to see if '07's just happen to have been a model year that ran hotter than others?
