I mean it makes since. You can't see the mistakes you make when you ride unless you film it and rewatch it. It's nice to have a view point to base your riding off of. I like this style of teaching. It's up to you as a rider to go home and practice and learn what he teaches you. If you go and just ride all day, did you really learn anything? or did you just go ride and assume you're doing better? Of course they ride while they're there, but that's not the point of it. Learn and grow, you didn't learn math without watching someone do it first.
He goes thru everything he’s doing to the point to where he fails, talks about what went wrong then explains how to achieve the goal, I can’t think of a better way to teach technical stuff like this, you can’t just “send it” and be fine, bc you won’t be.
I’m new here and I love your teaching technique. Not just seeing you fail but seeing HOW you fail and what you do to minimize damage to yourself and even your bike is really great. I always feel like people and kids these days don’t know how to crash! Knowing how to crash is one of the most important parts of sports like this. Sickrad!
New to enduro always rode street bikes. I've only been on dirt for 7 months now and these videos have helped. To be able to go out and actually use this stuff is some of the most rewarding things I've done.
Similar to the 10 part series (filmed in one day) with your boss, it would be cool to also see the students trying this stuff with you correcting mistakes as they happen and see their progression.
I've gotten away free with rally bad lines because of the body position you teach. Following your guides have keeping me safe all of last year. I can say confidently, your dirtbike control suggestions carry over to ~900cc machines very well.
Thanks for all the information you are putting out. By far my favorite channel for learning to ride. I’ve recently got bikes for me and my sons. You are teaching us so much man. You are always to the point while giving all the information needed. I have a lot of experience on trails with 4 wheels just not two. Keep up the good work dude!
The demonstration is great. To bring it down to my level, it would be great to show you instructing the students including the lead up progression of drills and how to recognize and fix problems in the maneuver. Everyone I talk to loves your stuff. Thanks! Keep it coming.
I agree...similar to the 10 part series (filmed in one day) it would be cool to also see the students trying this stuff with you correcting mistakes as they happen and see their progression.@@IRCTireUSAMoto
Can you do a video on bike set up for enduro? Faster rebound, front brake guard or no, flags vs wrap around, skid plate material, gearing, powervalve settings for smoothness, tuning, etc? Like your gear video, but for the bike.
@@IRCTireUSAMoto seriously, the shooting with the action cam on bars showing your clutch use was really helpful. I know it is lot of work /edit but your cam shooter or editor could edit it : one action cam showing each hand, and on same time line as the video of riding. Anyway thanks for all your dedication !
At 10:20 of the video you spoke of "collecting my power enough". What exactly do you mean by that? Letting the clutch out faster for more a quicker stronger snap before reducing throttle for traction? Please explain. Thanks for all the videos. You have helped me and my son and daughter all become better riders.
The collection of power is what prevents the tire from spinning on top of the obstacle. So when I load the engine with the clutch in begin the drive of my body weight forward then release the clutch, this initiates the acceleration up the obstacle. Once the forward momentum is established the quicker I can collect the power delivery to the rear tire the easier it will be for me to hold traction. If i don’t collect my power “reduce the RPM” my tire will spin and I won’t maintain forward momentum. 👍
Great tutorial, as usual. It’s amazing how aware you are, of exactly what you’re doing as you do it! I can hardly think back through exactly what I’ve done after I do it.
Very awesome to see success on a bike not set up just perfect, just a normal dudes bike. Was this a 250 or 300 TPI? Reason I ask is it sounds exactly like my 2023 gasgas 250. Thank You Great video and editing!!!!!!
TIL about Walmart tires and the natural 45 degree angle of dumped dirt 😁But seriously a very informative video as always. Are you holding the front tire up just by slipping the clutch or front brake as well (before you launch)?
Thank you for the time you take to teach technique. This type of stuff is super fun to practice and learn. Listening to how terrible that bike runs off idle, not so fun.
So annoying. Swapped the CCPS on my 22’ te300i a few times. Got the Tokyo off-road tray as well. It’s usually the crank case line clogged up at the head. I clean mine out all the time.
@@HardEnduroLlewellyn Exactly! We do all that same stuff with our TPI’s. Unfortunately the CCP’s just don’t last very long. After switching to a carbureted bike, it’s really hard to get back on a TPI/TBI because frankly, they just feel off and lack consistency.
@@AdamTrew my buddies all have between the 14’-17’ carbed husky’s. They are monsters. Feels like jumping on my yz250. I love my te300i but prolly because I paid so much for it during covid and I’m used to it now 😂.
JX8 or IX09 and several of those early failed attempts are suddenly successes. A few rear spin outs at the top kills the confidence in a hurry. Practicing on a less than ideal tire seems like it could help emphasize proper positioning and control, but man it’s hard to go back once you’ve had a tire grab rocks (firm or loose) and not slip at all even when you thought it shouldn’t have made it so easily.
Confidence is so much of the battle. Hard to implement great technique when you’re not mentally recovered from a couple misses in a row. especially for most of us non-professional mortals watching and learning from channels like yours!
how does a shorter person practice this? I stand at a towering 5'2"s, and ride a full size Ktm 200 xcw. My balance is getting really good, and I can "pop" up on, and off the bike with ease. Please help me!!!
man, this is a good one, Rich. Always staying ahead of the bike is such a "oh, duh" understanding I've taken away from your work ... also: Walmart tire 🤣
Interesting teaching technique "watch me ride"
This was 30 minutes, of a two day, eight hour per day class. We worked this technique with each rider for 2+ hours after the examples were shown.
🤣🤣

Great as always. As a bloke who’s only recently taken up riding because I love enduro, your videos have been like a riding bible! Thank you!

I appreciate that! It means a lot! Thanks for the support!!

This channel must currently be the top one for every rider out there. Thank you Rich. Greetings from Greece 😁

Really helpful. Even seeing your attempts is helpful in giving perspective on what's needed. Cheers Rich & IRC
Glad you enjoyed it!
It would be awesome if you could get cameras on your hands to see better what you're doing. Love these videos, they are honestly the best.
Haha! Hand cam!

Wow, beautiful technique there! Do you hold yourself in place by slipping the clutch, then load the engine and release while thrusting forward?
I am trying to fix my bike, and saving for a newer bike. One way or another I can't wait to practice.
Thanks rich
Haha! Sorry man! We’ve all been there!
I really like your demonstrations, I watch you alot ,why aren't you the super Enduro king!😊

@@IRCTireUSAMotoso "collecting the power" refers to collecting the power stored in the flywheel. Thanks for the clip.

Thanks so much! 🙌
Great stuff
Are you traveling doing clinics?
Do you have a schedule for the clinics?
Thanks!
Thanks bro your vids are great !! Watching these and trying the techniques has greatly improved my riding!
Great to hear!

This was the 300 👍
brilliant stuff. thanks IRC and Rich
Glad you enjoyed it
I don't know if it gets mentioned often but the audio and video editing in every one of your videos just takes them over the top man
Wow thanks so much!
TIL about Walmart tires and the natural 45 degree angle of dumped dirt 😁But seriously a very informative video as always. Are you holding the front tire up just by slipping the clutch or front brake as well (before you launch)?
Yep slipping into the front brake!
Thank you for the time you take to teach technique. This type of stuff is super fun to practice and learn.
Listening to how terrible that bike runs off idle, not so fun.
Thank you for watching! TPI 😬
@@IRCTireUSAMotoyep, I’m very familiar. Wish I would have ditched TPI & TBI much sooner.

This guy ... so good !
Such an intimidating technique. Great to watch it broken down!
Awesome Rich. Next level stuff, thank-you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
When you coming to New Zealand for a session?
great instructor
Love the videos
Thanks so much for the support!
What gear are you in? Got me inspired to go try. Thanks for sharing this video 👍
On this bike I'm in first. Tough to answer that question.
ruclips.net/video/KQQ4xgmp0yA/видео.html
Great video , was really hoping to watch them attack the obstacles and you correct the mistakes !
Maybe I can make a follow up!
@@IRCTireUSAMoto would be good 👍

Bro that’s literally exactly right. You would think it helps but confidence is so key. If you can’t trust your tire it makes you ride conservative
Confidence is so much of the battle. Hard to implement great technique when you’re not mentally recovered from a couple misses in a row. especially for most of us non-professional mortals watching and learning from channels like yours!
You are THE MAN Mitch

Can’t wait to practice with these tips!
Hi Rich - most Riders fail, because they are not following your Channel! All the BEST in 2024 for You, best Hard Enduro Coach on the PLANET❤❤❤
Thanks for that! Really appreciate it!!
It's not about how fast you go !
It's how far and for how long !
😁👍
man, this is a good one, Rich. Always staying ahead of the bike is such a "oh, duh" understanding I've taken away from your work ... also: Walmart tire 🤣
Exactly! 😂 Thanks so much!!
You are amazing
love your videos--
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
One is for sure… we have obsession with your RUclips Chanel 😊😊😊
Haha! Thank you man!
Great content
The Sidi X power boots are awesome! I broke my ankle in them last summer and my ankle snapped right back into place because of them!
Do you think less quality components (walmart tire😅) will make you a better rider because your technique has to be more precise?
That’s always a tough one. It could work to an extent
Killed it!
🙌🙌
I actually enjoy getting stuck and then trying to figure it out. It’s like playing chess with the rocks.
Perfect example! Hard enduro is chess in a lot of ways!
And God said, let there be skid plates and there was much rejoicing!
tl;dr: Bike must go "bbbbbrrrrWHEEEYooooppp"
Hips back
Hold friction zone.
Zap of throttle.
Hips forward
Collect power with clutch...
Hips back
Oddly enough im sitn at the mine site watching this @ 730 am. Every pule dumped around me now is at 45deg
Haha!! 🙌🙌
The hard part is picking up that foot and committing. Any drills to help with that commitment?

Who is this guy? Makes it look easy
Just ol Rich Larsen
Should I run this on my scrambler 1200? Lol honest question.
Dont be hatin on my Tusk parts now 😡 😂
No brands were named
This is where the bike takes off out from under me and I end up hanging on for dear life, legs flying up in the air. :)
😂😂
Great video as always. I disagree about dabbing. Dabbing is riding.
Sure. But in training, focusing on not dabbing, increases your ability when it matters.
You're almost out of gas dude.
Filled up half way through.
If at first you don’t succeed…. Try again. I can count the amount of times over fallen over on a trail.
Any relation to Roger?
Nope. Maybe a distant relative haha
At first I thought it said “you should obese”
Maybe people will be more likely to click 😂
Walmart tire 😂
Walmart tire.. 😂
Like 501
Impossible to do when you're 5'7"
