About to buy my first dirt bike since 1978. Man, i sure appreciate your lessons! You are, hands down, the best enduro teacher on the web. When I get my bike I am going to start with your 10 part series with Mark and video my progress so people on RUclips can see that it's never too late to get out there riding! Thanks for your teaching. Can't wait to buy my first IRC Dakota. I'm planning to spend my entire summer exploring the mountains of Idaho and post the videos.
Thanks again for another entertaining tuition, the blooper at 2.52 was priceless, it shows great humility to include it in a training video, as they say; been there-done that-etc....cheers.
I appreciate that you also added a failure to your video. It helped me to realize you are human too. My mistake was riding my front wheel for about 20 yards wondering which way the back tire was going to go and then figuring that diving off to the right of the bike was a safer option. 😁😆
Been working on this for a long while. The trials guys make it looks sooo easy to move the rear a whole 90 degrees. I can't figure out the body movements for that smooth effortless huge rotation. I did notice something you said though. You said if your hips and the rear tire are going to the left, you turn your bars to the right and I see you do that in some of the clips. I'll have to play with that. I think of it differently and maybe this is part of my problem. If you do a big high nose wheelie you can "press" on the right grip to make the rear end go left. but this doesn't work as well if you don't get the rear end pretty high.
Jeez ! This video is coming up perfectly ! Rich are you looking above my shoulders when I'm training ? :-D I'm working on it for about a dozen of days now. Thanks a lot for you do for us !
Hi Rich and thanks for the great information. Isn't there also a style used in trials riding where you use a little clutch bump combined with unloading the rear suspention to get the rear wheel driving forward ( and up ) while the front brake is on? It seems like this could help with a little momentum and lift. I ride my trials probably as much as my enduros ( Beta 200+300 ) but more for Enduro type riding, so I'm not focused as much training on purely trials obstacles, but am learning as I encounter things on the trails. I'm usually cruising right along and not approaching obstacles like a normal trials approach, slow and controlled, more pounding it out! Multiple cracks in my rear hub on my Evo testifies to that. Should have waited for the billet hub but went factory replacement. We'll keep an eye on it knowing what I know now!🤔🙄
Yes the clutch snap is another way to get that rear tire lift. I still believe using a rock is the best way to get comfortable first with this skill. Finding how much front brake is needed and how the compression and rebound can assist makes it all so much easier. Then timing the clutch snap will, as a result, will become easier.
I would see this move handy to clear the bashplate on square drop while maintain slow speed. I've been working on this with bicycle, trials bike, enduro bike and adventure bike. What I've learned is that the heavier the bike the more engine is needed to ignite the lift. I don't actually recall Rich mentioning to not pull the clutch before tail is in the air - it makes a big difference to the lift. If there's someone with skills to pop the rear up from stand still please share your wisdom - I know it's about snapping the clutch together with shock compression but at the moment it feels almost undoable for me to get signifigant lift.. but so did rear hops on trials bike without engine running before winter too and as you know all it took was that magical 30min a day to make it possible

Lol. How many front and rear fenders does it take to master the slow wheelie and front stopie? First thing I did was bust rear fender off trying the slow wheelie. Bought 3 spares. No where near enough. Best just leave it off while practicing.
I LOVE and appreciate the videos! I've fallen over quite a few times practicing some of your lessons. I have a question though. How tall are you? I'm 6' even, and I'm thinking you've got to be 6'5" ish...? Knowing your height will help put some of your bike placement drills into perspective. Thank you for sharing with us!
I can do this all day on the mountain bike. But the mental block of feeling that 200lb dirt bike coming up has had me struggling with these for a while. I suppose, like everything, you just gotta nut up do it haha
Howzit rich! Any advice on front tire sizes or what tire is the best to run overall? I live in hawaii and i know u know how slippery it gets when it rains over here. Was thinking if i should give 90/90,90/100 a try or jst stick with 80/100
Hey, I'am riding a TE150i at the Moment. I would say I'am a good intermediate rider. The 150 often comes to it limits by now. So I need a new bike. I thought about a gasgas 250, because of the lower torque, so that it's not like too much for me in reference to an 300. What are your oppinions about this? Have you ever ridden a 250 and 300 back to back? Greetings from Germany
could make some video with some beginner/intermediate riders, showing all our r usual mistakes, so you can comment and debrief them...? I know it's an opposite "negative" approach but can be useful too...
If I do this, I won't have to get off the bike and tug and pull the ass end around. Thereby missing out on so much great exercise and using my limited energy. 🤔

"after you're comfortable with your progression".... " you go buy a brand new front fender ahahahahahah ;) great video usual :)
😂😂
Are you sponsored by a plastic producer?
As ALWAYS interesting, well explained and produced videos.
Super cool. ….But not as cool as Rome just chillin with ya! Wish I had a riding buddy like that. 🐕
Great Lesson again
Thanks again for another entertaining tuition, the blooper at 2.52 was priceless, it shows great humility to include it in a training video, as they say; been there-done that-etc....cheers.
😂 thought everyone would like that!
Great video!
Maravilloso vídeo, como siempre. Gracias desde España
Nice, Thanks!

Another great one Rich. Lots of content in 6 minutes of video!
Thanks for watching! We pack it in there!
No way, I’ve been looking for a decent video of this today and then you pop you when I get back home
Good luck I hope it helps!

Haha! Glad it’s good timing! Thanks for watching!
I could see this as an alternative to a switch back move in certain situations
haha! It's a bit gnar to pull when it matters!
there is an awesome clip of Jarvis doing exactly this, in a super sketchy steep downhill switch back

So far beyond my level lol...but still a great video and riding info I can use even at present ..Awesome

@@IRCTireUSAMoto Wow... Those little 2 strokes make you look like a GIANT! =D (I ride big bore 4 stroke KTMs) Thank you again for the lessons!
Gotta say doggo isn't easy to impress.
I’ll never stop trying to impress him!! 😂
@@IRCTireUSAMoto it's a tough job... but keep trying!

Little bit. Work your way towards it!

And rear tire too. I run tubliss on both
This is a technique I feel like I can alway use when I REALLY need it but hardly ever on command
Thanks for watching! Good thing to practice!
Do you recommend going higher or lower with the front tire pressure?
I prefer higher pressure.

Some of my best results are on a 250. They work great!
What about the beta 200rr?
@@IRCTireUSAMoto thanks, that confirms my thoughts.
Have a nice day and see you in another great video. ;)
@@donniemcfarland3160 i like the tpi system and beta isn't offering that many bikes and parts in my region
I've been doing this un-voluntarily for years now... I just didn't have a name for it besides "ouch".
Never the way we want it to work out! 😂

@@IRCTireUSAMoto lol, I'm always available for what not to do videos. 🤣😂🤣
If I do this, I won't have to get off the bike and tug and pull the ass end around. Thereby missing out on so much great exercise and using my limited energy. 🤔
😂
@ 2:50 this is what happens when you run IRC tires and get too much traction
😂
:40 mark and the dog is not impressed.
Great video for us humans, but the dog looks bored out of his mind...
