I'm learning (very slowly) that having a proper level of momentum for a given condition is also highly beneficial getting through various challenges on the trail. I've learned that being overly careful and slow can sometimes make it far more difficult to surmount the obstacle confronting progress.

[@crosstrainingenduro]

Definitely! We don't always need a lot of momentum... sometimes even a walking pace can be just enough to get over wet tree roots and rocks on a slow hill climb.

[@jonathantrexel4299]

Always appreciate your humor mixed in with good simple advice. The Wild West rifle shooting in your trip to Canada was still your best humor, love that stuff.

[@crosstrainingenduro]

Cheers Jon! Sadly I probably wouldn't get away with the gun stuff nowadays, KZbin and Facebook have been tightening up the censorship.... good in some respects but a bit overboard sometimes.

[@dirtbikesicehockey4788]

Be ready to drop the bike....I do this when I'm unloading the bike off the trailer.

[@bikersoncall]

My bike is carbureted, when I have a choice, I lay it down (drop it) to the right side, then the fuel doesn't spill out of the over-flow. I also hit the kill if I know I don't have time before it stalls, if I do have time, I grab the clutch (pull it in) first then pick it up, avoiding stalling as I pick her up. If it chokes out, or flames out on me, I don't bother kicking it 25 times, I crack the throttle open 1/8'' (couple mm's) and kick hard as I can, it will start, first kick. Once in a great while it will kick back on me, but that's pretty rare.

Some awesome looking tracks, wishing central WA wasnt so flat

[@robbed_of_sanity]

But you're not too far from Cle Elum and North Idaho is great riding. Just a bit farther.

[@Isaac-SpeedyEFI]

Come over to the Wa/Id border. We've got rocks, trees, rocks, creeks, and mile after mile of killer singletrack.

[@ballistic6175]

​@@robbed_of_sanity Sorry mate I don't mean Washington state :D . I live in central Western Australia (WA), which is very flat compared to where Barry rides in the videos. Which I assume is in NSW.

Nice vid… big fan of your work! Keep it up and hope to run across you on a nice single someday if you get to Idaho!

[@crosstrainingenduro]

It would be good to go dirt riding about the US one day, Kevin 😎

[@davenawahine4428]

Everyone switching to a trials tire would help prevent a lot of trail damage. Knobbys usually dig deep trenches when looking traction.

[@crosstrainingenduro]

True, but then again if you lose low pressure and work on your technique you rarely spin the wheel with a knobby. That's what we've been working on the past few years....

[@chriscopeland1318]

Love this channel

[@mikeisland7382]

You can sure see how the 37+ inch seat heights work against us here.

[@helmutschmacher2100]

I am not afraid to drop that 150kg anchor if it avoids me being under it... anything that breaks can be tied back on or left in the jungle with all the M-150 bottles

[@Cross-Country-Biker]

Cool vid thanks Barry 🤙🤙

[@crosstrainingenduro]

Glad you enjoyed it 😎

[@khaccanhle1930]

Steep uphill is a challenge. I'd rather go down a hill anytime. I've got loads more control going down.

[@manoliswec5674]

nice vid! im hoping (not like romania dance lol) for a video of your friends ktm 200. so little info can be found for these bikes, since they didnt sell very well like the early/mid zeros 200's. id love to see the pros n cons vid!

[@crosstrainingenduro]

Generally they seem to be very good bikes, Manolis! The only real issue is that old-style electric start.

Hey mate, can you do a long term review on Scott's 200, I just would like to see how it handles after years of that terrain and especially since it is a smaller bore

1:32 he's fully extended with the bike below the rock. He can never get the bike up there while holding on to it. Gotta know your limitations.

[@crosstrainingenduro]

I'm trying to remember how he did get it up at that point. He did manage it, I just don't remember how....

Barry, this guy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3TLfZyDmKyEnJY&lc=UgxwEryULPty17Ewlm54AaABAg.A176GWnycOoA1DZokAQXTr says that leaning over the bars is not a good technique for preventing loopbacks. I have a feeling that squatting works, but to a limited extent. I use it only on short ones. It seems there is not much room to move forward. What do you think?

[@crosstrainingenduro]

It's a good point and I actually need to redo some of the very early training vids on body positioning and hill climbs. Rough rule of thumb? As it gets steeper you just squat more to lower the centre of gravity. Or if sitting on the seat, slide forward. Leaning over the bars is only for when it's very steep and must be done to avoid a backflip. I base this on training with Chris Birch we did years ago. Other enduro trainers may disagree of course...

[@eureka1512]

@@crosstrainingenduro Thanks. It just occurred to me that it was on a dual sport CRF300L. It has bulkier than enduro tank in front, which might be the problem with moving forward. I have switched to Sherco. It has better shape for this.

Great work, maybe we can usher in a new age of dirtbike woke-ism where we praise people on their ability to get up with as little fuss as possible and shame the wheelspinners with loud boo's from above😛

A good start, Andrew. Then public floggings perhaps? The sky's the limit. 😂 Well actually we'd probably hit some legal issues with human rights, but it's all worth exploring!
