You know I'm really surprised this video series hasnt skyrocketed in likes and comments .This is a great series and thank you for taking the time to make it.

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks yes it would be nice if it takes off but at least its helping a few people which makes it worth it! :)

[@deannestman3693]

My brother rode with you last year at an enduro course last year . I ride a 650 L . Love the bike . Used to ride expert enduro in the 90s. Just re learning the curve after 20 yrs away from riding. Love Your videosm

[@HeddleTown]

That's awesome and thanks! All I can say is re-learn slow and steady it will come back but we don't heal as quickly anymore! lol

[@uncleogre5208]

I really enjoy watching your videos as you explain clearly the techniques which the normal trail rider understands and would frequently use. Also, no music! 😀

[@HeddleTown]

Thank you I hope they help!

[@totallyrandomvideo1]

I learned to ride dirt bikes by myself for a short time, but now I have been without ridding about 11 years, and basically have to learn all over again, but is a good thing, because I get to reboot what I have learned doing the wrong way. Thanks to videos like these I'll be on the right track now. Keep up the Great work. P.s. only noticed now that these videos are 3 years old, but are still very good.

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks very much and wishing you all the best! How old the videos are doesn't really matter the skills are the exact same! 👍

[@ericsundberg3310]

Wet roots in Colorado can really get you. Good teaching point.

[@eveRide]

Those ruts can really ruin a day of riding! I've never thought of weighting the bike through a rut but that seems like a solid maneuver to try. I HATE getting "crossthreaded" with one tire in a rut and the other doing its own thing... it's like a guaranteed crash for me.

[@HeddleTown]

But a guaranteed crash is good for views isn't it? haha I first learned that trick from some old school trials riders years ago I'm not sure that it will work for ADV type tires its more to push the knobby's into the ground!? A good bit of momentum also helps! ;)

[@rkortes]

Your series is inspirational and makes me want to get out and practice..... Thanks soooo much for putting in the time and effort. I'm finally starting to "bond" with my 690. To tell you the truth as was irritated with myself for selling my 500exc and buying the 690, but your videos have helped me through it. The 690 is a beast and I wasn't quite ready for the extra weight!

[@victor-emmanuel7485]

Once again a very usefull video man! Can't wait to try out all your advice after my exams!

[@dustyrock1]

Good video. We usually forget what it was like to be a newer rider. Everything was a challenge. Lots to learn about riding dirt but it is the best so much fun and good exercise. Nothing beats seat time for riding good snd getting better with confidence.

[@HeddleTown]

dustyrock1 Thanks yes we forget what riding is all about, respect to all the new riders! :) 👍

[@brianrahuba6919]

Yes I understand and yes I can see What your doing as well. Once I get back to work I be glade to sponsor your channel. To help with your knowledge to us newbies and or novice riders is only to benefits us. Yes we can learn after our own faults and that's even if we know what we did in error. But sometimes getting hurt can deter us from advancing or just to stop the sport all together. Knowledge is power. I see how fast you go and the control of your bike. And I want to thank you for sharing and the in dept as you do. Dam I wished I knew you personally, lol... God Bless you and your channel as well. Be safe out there......

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks that would be much appreciated! I'm glad they help that's the main goal with these videos! :)

[@brianrahuba6919]

@@HeddleTown I had a DRZ 400S but gave it back now I have a 1992 DR 350. Needs some TCL . But does have a lot of potential with only 3000 original miles on it plus this little bike has a 6 speed in it. These kids just let it go and made it a pure woods bike out of it. But it's in good hands now. A little this and that and it will be up a running lile a top......

[@jonbusby3881]

Very good instructions. I’m a entry level rider and am watching what I can to learn more how to adapt to each situation. Thank you

[@HeddleTown]

Glad you liked it! :)

[@Motoinc]

Very informative video for beginners. To be honest they need all the help they can get. . Compared to us that can ride. We have tons of video on the tube and magazine's to read. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Sweden

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks and I would agree.. cheers :)

[@danielkiefer8134]

Thanks for another great video! Keep up the great work

[@juliojulio4976]

thanks for this video again...

[@ineedanaga]

Another quality video! This one was very helpful, I’m definitely on the beginners side I think. Thanks !

[@ineedanaga]

Let's say you do get caught in a rut, what is the best way to get out? Maybe it's kind of deep. If you try to get out, the back tire is just going to keep following the rut. yA?

[@francoismarais8481]

good quality content and well represented. very nice! keep it up, braaap!

[@HeddleTown]

Francois Marais Thanks more vids on the way! :)

[@krispy1k]

Just found your vids. Love your teaching technique on beginner level stuff. Thanks!

[@DollyAndFamilyGetOutAndRide]

Thank you for the refresher

[@HeddleTown]

Hope it helps! :)

[@dznnf7]

I'm really enjoying these videos, thank you!

[@rastapras]

Amazing mate!!! I am new to enduro and your channel is suberb💪🏼 you are explaining things very well too. I am stoked and also very gratefull for your input. 👍🏼👌🏼

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks appreciate it spread the word more videos to come this fall! :)

[@machariakinga9334]

just bumped into this video, thank you for the great tips.

[@HeddleTown]

Glad you liked it more to come in the future! :)

[@frogdaniels4663]

Good to see some basic stuff thank u

[@guitarnut48]

As a fairly new rider I love your training videos and they have helped me!

[@HeddleTown]

That's awesome I'm glad you like them there will be more coming in the future! :)

[@MrGoandgigabyteme]

Your videos are so helpful, extremely valuable information especially for newbies! Looking forward to more, thanks again.

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks man

[@RetiredCHP13374]

Useful tips for inexperienced riders such as myself. Recently picked up a 2016 300xcw and it’s as tamed down as I could get it but still experience arm pump after about 10 minutes of single track. Likely too aggressive of a trail for my skill level but was following a friend riding slow. Been trying to ride a gear higher and using the clutch more, will see if this helps. Keep up the good videos!

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks more lesson videos coming in the future! Try clamping the bike more with your knees and or legs while your standing up to take a little strain off your arms and just relax in general and you will likely loosen up! :)

[@lukesutherland70]

Yeah thanks man, this really helps my skill level currently :)

[@HeddleTown]

Awesome glad it helps! :)

[@shaidekel6233]

Hi there! I really like your videos. Very helpful and good tips over the Enduro riding. Could you talk more about recommend equipment and dirt bike services on your coming videos. Thank you.

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks will see what I can do! :)

[@LuckyNikitaBoba]

I'm a professional at falling.

[@Alaskandualsport]

great video and awesome tips making my grandsons watch all of these video's thanks for making and sharing,,ride safe bro ,,,LIKED ( thumbs up )

[@HeddleTown]

That's awesome I welcome sharing them! :) Thanks

[@ineedanaga]

Wish I would have watched this video a time or two more lol. Went out yesterday, and without any warning I must have hit a rock and washed my front end out. Wasn't even going that fast, but somehow did a big number on my bike. Going to be over a grand to get back up and running.

[@HeddleTown]

Man sorry to here that.. maybe I will do a better video on this type of thing in the future going down because of front end washing out is usually hard on the bike and body even when going slow!

[@ineedanaga]

Hey, thanks for the reply! Just part of learning. I seriously have to say after watching way too many videos on KZbin to gain as much knowledge as quickly as I can. Your videos stand out. Your expertise and ability to teach your audience is incredible!

[@rorumets]

Super tutorial ;)

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks hope it helps.

[@Trad-Am]

I think is great your doing some of these for the new/ first time riders. The only other thing I can think of to help Is. With new riders standing up have a bit of a tendency to lean on the bars with too much weight. They should try to keep the majority of their weight on the pegs.

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks ya that's kind of my point at 3:42 there is just so many variables when being a new rider its almost impossible to get it all across during a short video! :) Thanks for watching!

[@bruceforsyth7107]

Another great video. Are you planning to do one on steep downhills? Cheers.

[@bruceforsyth7107]

Just found episode 7. Cheers

[@HeddleTown]

Awesome :)

[@MotoGirl]

great channel, thank you for all the awesome tips, i am new to dirt riding 😊

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks I appreciate that hope they help out! :)

[@mrvolts9262]

you said pop a wheelie and i subbed

[@HeddleTown]

HaHa That's awesome who doesn't like a little pop-a-wheelie once and awhile! :) Thanks

[@kinderus1]

Hi man, thanks for your videos. It is really helpful. Could you make a video please how to use rear breaks correctly, how to keep your boots on pegs correctly when you stand and push on rear break. Because it is not obviously. For example, when you jump on some high obstacle how to use rear break to prevent falling on your back. For example in bike trial sport, riders use rear break every time when they jumping to block rear wheel. In motorcycle we have not only breaks but also a clutch and throttle..... I hope you understand what I mean.

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks, yes it's possible for next season for sure!

[@keepitshooting9041]

Can you explain how to do the power u-turn you did at minute 6:15, and maybe how to do a doughnut the same way? I really appreciate your videos!

[@HeddleTown]

I think you just mean the donut I did its just by quickly dropping the clutch for a second with a little extra gas and lean into it! Maybe I will do a video that's a good idea! Thx for watching!

[@alicanakkas3845]

u r the man

[@HeddleTown]

HaHa Nope just a guy that wants to help others... :)

[@alicanakkas3845]

so , it doesn't change anythin , u r still the man xD

[@fastback6578]

I'be been ridding for a while but I've never really bothered to watch videos on technique. To be clear you like to make the front end light while crossing a rut going uphill if necessary, and load the suspensions while crossing going downhill?

[@HeddleTown]

Yes you got it more or less! The idea with weighting the bike is to help the knobbies bite the ground better!

[@comanantonio6282]

nice

[@hmwatchs8]

Have you sold the husky ... great videos thanks for shearing.

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks!! Nope I have the TE dual sport still its a great little bike but another bike is on my radar so things may happen in the near future! ;)

[@hmwatchs8]

+HeddleTowns Enduro Ride I will watch this space :).

[@bothbbls]

Love it. TE 250 is my first dirt bike in 35 yrs. Thanks for the tips. Gives me hope for getting the front end up. Is that a filter on the gas cap vent hose?

[@breakM]

Got a question about riding technique: Cornering while standing. Proper lean bike/rider? Right corner, bike leaned right like /, rider not leaned, standing kind of like this | on top of it? Is that the correct way? Maybe you covered it in some of your videos that I cant find?

[@HeddleTown]

No I have not covered cornering yet but I will be soon thanks for the reminder! Sounds like you got the basics, I will get on a video soon! :) New lesson video coming this Friday!

[@jackeyster5885]

Good! I had gotten worried and actually stopped watching the series because I thought the videos were all progressive, and would soon outpace my skills.

[@HeddleTown]

Thanks, no I will try and make a video to help everyone! More videos coming! :)

[@cuetesalinas]

Ima try it on my two stroke kx500?

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

heddle can you make a video with some loose sand ruts. like tight single trails that are loose sand how to get threw them the best , I know loose sand is easier to go threw and ride with more momentum and speed.

[@HeddleTown]

Momentum and speed for sure and I will in the future, maybe I will use the 500 for that episode ;) Thanks.

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

Awesome and I look forward to all of your future videos. I have picked up a few tips and tricks from watching your videos and I am sure others have as well, much appreciated for taking the time to make these films for us thanks a lot 👍.

[@mcactive1620]

uff but some of them techniques are almost imposible with the motor 125 cc of my xtz yamaha :'c because the power is not enough

[@alainrivera2549]

I haven't seen one good video on KZbin of how to ride a dirt bike , for bigginers

[@jrodfolyfe]

What pants are those they look comfortable

[@HeddleTown]

There awesome warm weather pants Klim Mojave with the Mojave Pro jersey! Thanks.:)

[@mikeyhuyghe2879]

thanks

[@richardmaides4380]

Hi I'm struggling to ride in ruts can you help please 🤙

[@bobthebuilder2922]

Just practice! When i started i had some troubles with them too but just practice and you´ll get hang of it

[@michaell.colavecchio8717]

What husqvarna is that?

[@HeddleTown]

2013 TE 310 dual sport .

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

big boulder bent my rim lip defiently don't want to do that.

[@tinesifethoughts3453]

Perpendicular...

[@brentpeyton4304]

A fool that hides his folly, is better than a wise man that hides his wisdom, good man share your know how ,it pays off in the long hall .you will be the famous of them all. I have been riding for 50 years, still learning ,sill loving it, better than eating moose.

[@MrTonyharrell]

If you go fast enough you don't ever see stuff like that. Crouched position under power gets you through stuff like that. Newbies should learn the attack position.

[@HeddleTown]

Tony Harrell haha yes good point but on their first few rides on a bike elbows up in the attack position doesn't really apply 'yet' lol Thanks :)

[@sdqsdq6274]

hmmm he fail to mention to fall at those rocks , damn !!

[@noahhardin7328]

you can also just stand up
