Mark improved more in 7 hours than most people improve in 1 year, I would be grateful to get this kind of training one day
Haha!! Thanks man!!
What an excellent teacher!
A camera on a tripod with this series as your guide would be a great start ;-)
Done more riding in a day then I get in a month, I imagine that has a lot to do with it.
I've been watching this channel for almost a year now, and have been trying some of the drills that Rich demonstrates in the videos on my CRF450RL. That bike proved to be more than a handful for this 63 yr old man. I finally bought a proper modern 300 2t enduro bike, which made a huge difference, but I still struggle with the drills. I'm so impressed with the progress that Mark made in one long day of training. It is truly remarkable. I admire his fitness and endurance. It would have killed me. I watch Rich demonstrate a skill and I think to myself, "I can do that", because he makes it all look so easy. Then I go out and try it and find out how hard it really is.
I'm inspired by the fact that at 63 you're getting out there and trying to grow in your riding skills with such intent. That's awesome, I hope I can have that kind of determination in 20 years.
Rich, you are a talented rider and a tremendous instructor/coach/mentor. Thank you for this great series- your ability to clearly explain these drills and techniques has improved my riding immensely! And it’s been great to see Mark improve his skills each week as well. I love your attitude and amazing work ethic… “ practice until you’re sick of it, and then do it some more… “ - absolutely love it, Thanks Rich!!
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!!
This series was another level, by far best channel on the tube.
Thanks to you and Mark for bringing it to us.
Thanks so much man! That means a lot!
Load flywheel, pop clutch, cut throttle. That should save me a few rear fenders!
🙌🙌
Mark's a f-n stud, man! Can't believe he progressed this much in one day! Gotta step up my game
Hard work pays off!
Mark is such a trooper through this AND super funny…cracking it up at 7:45
Rich is incredible at breaking the pieces down, showing each, and then adding them together
Sad to see the series come to an end but glad to have improved from it
Thanks boys 🤙
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come 😁
Thank you guys and thank you IRC, this is marketing done right.
I will gladly watch as many more episodes as IRC will pay you to make.
Outstanding instruction, top notch! Excellent training overall!!! It’s one thing to briefly discuss what to do but with the dialog and constant communication showing how it’s done, along with positive instruction, it makes so much more sense….PPP! Thank you!
Good stuff! It's all the time between beginner and pro that people don't see, so I know it's hard for someone to feel they've done anything riding with The Irc Tire Guy. With a knowledgable and teacher such as this, and a willing and passionate student it was great to see the lessons applied so well and so quickly!
I appreciate that! Thank you man!
You are the Ryan Young of big bikes! Both of you are super nice and welcoming! You simplify and encourage! The "Bend your knees," just woke me up! I was leaning forward and back....Knees SO much easier! I view your videos every day....Before I do my "15 minutes," in the back yard...3x a week. At 68 you make me feel like a kid again! Keep it up. Help us all, sleep well.
You nailed it again! Cheers guys!
Excellent job Mark! Thank you for putting yourself out there!!
I love this series. You guys crack me up 😂 The content is absolute gold! Thank you so much Klim! 🤪 Thank YOU Rich. You’re a great teacher.
@9:52 is the MOST important detail here. It's something to really work on. I lay here in bed rolling the throttle forward and dropping the clutch. Really. This video I would pay for!
Ive loved this series. Top teaching my man.
Awesome training. Thanks bro!
These videos are awessome!
Such a great series! Mark is a champ! Rich is an awesome teacher! So much learned, can't wait to try this all out.
Incredible step by step. Thanks for this x100
Great series Rich.
Some of the best drill advice I have seen in my 40 years of riding and I have learnt heaps from you.
You are never to old to keep learning IMO.
I have shared your YT video among all the guys I know and hopefully your subs will increase hugely.
Have shared you info with many newbies on Thumper Talk forum also as I think your stuff is Gold.
Kudos mate.

Love it. Informative and entertaining 👌🏽
Loved this series, and Marc has an awesome attitude and perspective. I appreciate the way many steps are broken down and dissecting body positioning.
This was amazing! Great to see what 7 hours of pure dedication and a great teacher can do to a rider's skill set.
Awesome 10 part series Rich! I’m gonna be practicing these drills on my new enduro bike very soon. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you!!
This is your best instructional video ever. Thanks.
Best one of your series. Thanks so much for sharing these lessons!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌🙌
Can’t wait for spring and the snow to be gone ,so I can work on these skills . Thanks from Canada
Just getting back into dirt riding after a long hiatus, and stumbled across this series. This is a training tool masterpiece. Thank you to everyone involved.
I keep coming back and watching these videos because they’re so helpful! Wish I could’ve been in Mark’s place! Keep it up Rich!
Great instruction. Easy to follow.
These vidos are Awesome! Thanks for making them also easy and fun to follow 🙌👌🔥🔥🔥
Glad you like them!
This an awesome video. Great instructions and easy to understand breakdown
Very interesting and fun to watch, great skill, knowledge, and training.
This is the best class i ever watch
I’ve been following along. (Admittedly skipped a few lessons) but I landed my first couple GOOD double blips over an 18” log. Thank you for making this series. It’s helped me so much
Thank you Mark, takes guts to potentially embarrass your self on YT which you didn't. And thanks Rich, your demos and explanations simply are the best. I'm learning so much from watching and trying / practising technique. Thanks and greetings from England, AndyB
incredible... it is so usefull to ride a bike better...can´t wait to train it myself...dammed winter...my son and i will train every episode step by step... the garage is just a motocrosstrainingcenter...but we need to go out...thank you for all the videos!
Great series, I thought I had good basics but I realized I need more practice. Thanks for helping me become a better rider!
I learned so much from this video. Thanks Rich!
Glad to hear it!
Such an awesome series you're putting out! Great work as always and thank you for sharing your wisdom with all of us! 👏
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!!
Awesome, thanks as always! I have a new RM250 and at 5'5" I can relate to Mark on the bike with one leg which makes it challenging to handle. That said more the reason to keep up learning skills to better manage. Thanks!
Amazing finish. I’m so waiting for the snow to melt!
Thanks for the great content and amazing explanations
You and me both! The videos will always be here!
Throttle off while clatch out is something I was always doing wrong ... can't wait for a bit less chill here to start trying it.
Also I anvy your student :D you seem like a great coach!
Throttle off is a common one people miss! Thanks for watching! Appreciate it!
First thing tomorrow morning!!! Thanks for all these breakdowns, my riding, especially balance and fine control has improved so so much!!!
Great to hear! Stoked you’ve been following along!
thanks and respect for the series. the feature that makes your courses stand out from virtually all others is that you tell what to do and others tell what to achieve, you name like 5 actions while others say: "compress the suspension", for a novice compress the suspension means nothing as this is the result, not actions to perform
the picture of Marc is very positive and 100% consistent with the interview
next Wednesday I will be missing an episode
Love your drill
the hint of dropping the clutch while closing the throttle is great and it is the 1st time I am hearing this. it helps with the biggest 2blip challenge - short time between 2 blips. it saves some time as the throttle closes earlier
For the 1st time I finally understand what to do with my hands and hips, I never heard anyone say those things, thanks you 😍
You're a great teacher, Rich. And I want to mention that I enjoy just about everything in this clip. The scenery, the sounds in particular differences between your two-stroke and the four-stroke, the steps in the moments, and most of all your general attitude towards the practice. I just want to be there.
And that Klim-guy (Mark?) is hanging on very well, kind of like your little experiment. But isn't his bike just a bit too big/high for him?
FYI, Episode 9 is missing from this 10 part Playlist on your channel.
What a great series. Thank you! I'll be working on these for sure once all this snow up here in Northwestern Ontario, Canada is finally gone!
Late to the series. Great instruction coupled with constructive criticism and lots of specific feedback. Excellent. How can you not be confident when he's teaching
This is good, thank you
This is easily the best breakdown (plus baby step drills) I’ve seen.
Thanks so much
I feel exactly the way you do Mark.
Thanks for all the work you put into this. I've been following along and having fun doing the exercises.
Practicing the single blip is a great idea. I've never tried using the front brake for it, so I've clearly been doing it wrong this entire time :D
Keep it up! Thanks for watching! Glad to hear you’ve been following along.
I would love a coaching course like this, but for now this will have to do. Gotta go back to episode one, get over to my local pit and start working thru the drills 🤘🏻
😂. That’s comedy! Awesome job Mark! Man I was dead after 3 hours of training. 7 is intense!! Good job guys and thank you so much for this!
Done 10 episodes. Been practicing these mentally for now..:). Going to apply these after 1 week..:).
Thank you for this lesson. Loading the engine before dumping the clutch was key for me learning to lift my front end with control.
Exactly!! 🙌
Great job demonstrating basic ergonomics of using the suspension, brakes, throttle , clutch and center of gravity over the bike. So much to learn to be an good rider.
Thanks! Lots happening!
Mate you seem like an awesome teacher
You do great job
Thanks for your videos I watch them all. Your a really good rider/instructor. you really know how to explain everything very clearly.
Let me ask you when your compressing the bike, pulling in the clutch and the front brake are you giving throttle and the brake at the same time to get the fly wheel going? I’m a little confused on that only because it doesn’t seem natural to be doing those two things at the same time, pulling in the break and giving gas with the same hand. Thank you. Hope to hear back.
Loved the metaphor you made with the belly and head 😂👌🏽
BRAVO !
Hi Rich
First of all I wanted to say thank you for all of your videos, it helps everyone so much!!
Do you think you can try to set up a GoPro on your handlebar in a way that we can see your double blip movement?
Also what size is you hydration waist pack?
Rich this is really a great Blip'en video. Excuse the pun! But I enjoyed the ease of your quality of explaining this to us. You put me at ease on your presentation. It obvious that you can do this with your eyes closed. But you are a great teacher for this video. Many thanks to you! Will be watching this some more. Your awsome!
Haha! Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
Rich, great series man, there is so much knowledge in these episodes it blows my mind!
One question; do you cover your rear brake while lifting the front wheel or simply rely on your clutch/throttle control to not loop out?
Cheers from the land down under 🤙
Super envious how Rich makes it appear how him and the bike are one entity. I guess it’s like watching Hendrix and expecting to play like him in a few hours. Saddle time!
Incredible content as always Rich, hopefully Mark showed you some appreciation after the 'cut' lol. Special thing to have so much one-on-one time with a rider as skilled as you; boss/employee aside 😂. Been to a few hard enduro/trials style clinics with riders of similar calibre instructing but frankly the most improvement I get (and I'm sure I'll continue to get) is from watching your content and working at it on my own. You're an outstanding teacher mate. Thanks again :)
Thanks so much man! Really appreciate it!
Nice teaching... good progress for the student
I'm stealing the idea of the circle of comfort
I tried the double blip last week when I went out going over a oversized railroad tie and yea I was quite rusty at it. These small tips here will help greatly for me though thanks
Stoked!! Thanks for watching! Glad to help!
As always - great content.
I've watched all of your videos on double blip technique and hands-down this has the best breakdown of the techniques for the initial lift (the 1st blip). Wish, though, you'd gone deeper into details about the 2nd blip.
Keep it up!
P.S. Can you do a techniques breakdown on a seated switchback version?
Thanks for watching.
No need to go into the second blip if 99% can’t do the first blip. Especially for Marc as the student.
There’s multiple explanations on our channel breaking down the double blip. You can watch those if you believe your first blip is dialed.
Wow you channel os awesome❤❤❤
Working on this drill has helped my overall riding tremendously. Thanks Rich!
PS: How do you manage heat on the bikes doing slow speed techniques all day? I usually practice for 5 minutes until I smell coolant then go for a little rip to cool down, would be nice to just keep going. (YZ250)
Brillant séries
Excellent
Thanks!!
Good stuff. I rode trials for 7 years and if I had a good coach like Rich, you all would know who I am. haha Also, because of Rich I'm addicted to IRC and as a result 4 of my friends as well.
Can you please do a breakdown of how to ride backwards? :) I already have a pretty good balance, can stand still or come to a complete stop and balance, can ride up the hill and stop and balance, but when I try to roll backwards I lose balance immediately :) Is there any trick or hint to learn it faster?
The place I live is currently the frozen s***hole of Hoth, but I can't wait for springtime to get here so I can get to work on actually practicing through the series.
Haha! They’ll always be here!
what do you think about the following stance at the first step
1. Balls of the feet half way on the pegs, the rest outside
2. Slight duck like stance with heels in and knees out when squating?
Hey Rich, great videos, Im a big fan of your videos. Thank you. Question for you, I’m purchasing a 390rs 2024, at 5’ 8” 175 lbs I cant touch the ground when seated or stopping. I have to slide to one slide. Should a have the bike lowed 2”, will it affect the performance. What’s your opinion, I noticed you are flat footed when riding. Thanks
Just binge watched em all! I guess that’s no real feat given that Mark did them all in 7 hrs…Saw Marks progress from start to finish. Great program you put together
Savage!!
Hi. Thanks for your videos. If you are on the balls of your feet when you attack an obstacle, how do you manage to control the rear break in case you go too steep? How do you manage to change the position on your feet when you are in a “wheelie” position for covering the rear brake…. In just 0,5 seconds?
How are you guys getting subject and sky correctly exposed? ND filters? This footage looks amazing.

I very appreciate that detail explanation of the first blip but having hard time understanding the second one.
Please anyone correct me if I'm wrong: as soon as first blip is done and the front wheel is in the air we're going to repeat the steps of the first blip with small changes - we holding clutch and giving revs, and as soon as front wheel touches obstacle we moving body forward to compress front fork even more and then throwing our body up (instead of backward as first blip) at the same time releasing the clutch and decreasing revs? And do we need to use front brake when front wheel touches obstacle?
13:40 - great Explanation from Marc. Sometimes it is very important to learn from another Student. Thanks again to you BOTH for this great Series❤
Is your bike lowered? I have a Beta 390RS and I can barely touch the ground on the ball of my foot. Im 5’8” 168lbs I feel a little out of control when on unlevel rough terrain. Should I have my suspension lowered? How much of your foot should touch the ground? I ride woods and Mx track. Thx. Awesome videos!!
wild day
Any downside to using the rear brake to load the front suspension? I naturally do this for loading a wheelie and it seems to help with the complexity of the first blip.
How do you prevent the engine from dying when you release the clutch? Also doc you pull on the bars?
15 steps in the first step... 🤕
Great humour and teacher! Super good!
This is a great technique to follow and I had a go at this over the weekend. When compressing the front end, is your right foot on the ball of the foot or do you cover the rear brake? Cheers!
Personally I stay on the ball and move to my brake only when needed
Can you give me a little advice?
When I compress the suspension and pull in the clutch, I gave some throttle. But when releasing clutch and closing the throttle the bike goes a bit limp, is it because I did not give it enough throttle initially?
Mark is great! I hope to see him in more of your videos. Maybe get him on a two stroke to make life easier……
Best breakdown I’ve seen. I’ve wondered what the advantage of the double blip is vs just popping the clutch right before the obstacle, hitting the front tire 3/4 the way up the obstacle to send the front tire skyward and over, and then having the the rear tire hit to bring the bike level again? With the proper preload of the suspension it seems to work for just as large an obstacle, but has less chance of error for me.
Haha! Sounds like what you’re describing is the double blip.
A double-blip is smoother and more consistent. Ram and splatter work on vertical faces. But as it gets more sloped at the top and undercut at the bottom, it becomes very difficult to actually hit that 3/4 spot with one throttle roll from the bottom up. And you don't get the suspension compression. On double blip, you drop the front onto the obstacle, which loads up the suspension.
Also, if you have a sharp face on the obstacle, using ram/splatter can get you a flat/dented rim pretty easily.
But look up the video where Rich comes out of the pool from a stop (he's in the video with a young pro rider). It's something like 4ft high. There you have to ram and splatter with one zap because you don't want any rebound back that a double blip creates. The bike gets vertical enough that it's more important to maintain forward momentum to actually get some forward movement, else you tip back in.
If you want to be more technical, there are 2 components to the movement of the bike over obstacles. There is a vertical and a horizontal vector. The total force is limited by your grip and wheel torque. There is a theoretical limit on how much drive you can generate. You split that drive between upward and forward motions. Some obstacles require your input to convert more of the energy into forward movement (high front lift), others require more upward movement (low front lift), and some are in-between. Double blip allows for that modulation by altering the amount of suspension load. Once you go up against a high enough object, the angle of the bike alone drives the rear wheel into the ground and compresses the suspension, so only one big throttle burst is needed.
@@gophop - Thank you for the explanation…that pool ledge is exactly what I was thinking of when trying to explain what I do!
the main difference is horizontal speed.
when "popping the clutch right before the obstacle" you use the approach speed to clear the obstacle "horizontally" - you need some horizontal speed before hitting the obstacle with the front wheel.
at 2blip your approach needs to be slow - only this enables you to hit the obstacle when the front wheel is moving downwards. the horizontal speed to clear the obstacle is generated by the second blip of throttle. this blip generates both vertical and horizontal drive
it results in a lot more control at 2blip and lower risk of bad consequences of hitting the obstacle at high horizontal approach speed. you are slower when using double blip, but you have a lot more control plus there is a height which cannot be cleared w/o double blip
Do you recommend first or second gear for training this?
