hey professor ... you misspelled something ... "Gabe Teachest me " I've been waiting to correct an American on English for years now ... and finally ... success :D

[@eveRide]

lol you got me man! haha thanks I'll get it right :)

[@jakaberdajs4378]

eveRide RAW hey man love the video and the tips... Getting myself an enduro early next year and i just cant wait to start "flying" trough my wood's for eather inspection or just fun... BTW how do you feal about supermotos? I rode 1 for about 2 years (it was only a 50) and idk if turning and handeling is the same or "close"?

[@johnweymouth5685]

eveRide RAW I think the word u2 are looking for in riding stance is, "a slight bend in the knees to act as a natural shock absorber ".

[@MrBeefsnorkel]

you and gabe making this video has done such a service to me and so many others. cannot thank you enough.

[@gnomonty3908]

Bought my first dirt bike 8 months ago and just rode my first dirt trails. All of big Ben national park. Used all Gabe taught you and only had to dab once in all 80 miles of riding. About 50yards of 5" deep sand and gravel. Oh my bike is an xr650l with 50/50 tires and I'm 65 and disabled (no knees). Had a blast planning my next trip

[@professionaltobogganist8448]

Right on man, i had a couple smaller 4 stroke bikes as a kid, i got a bike licence and dual sport yamaha about 9 years ago, started out slow on easy stuff of course, and i guess developed the same sort of habits gabes teaching tyler, the balls of the feet and tank gripping is key, pretty obvious to want to develope this habit to these guys but i didn't ride with anyone, glad i had some good habits. the "athletic stance" i developed on a particular easy trail piece and then tended to use it all the time off road. glad to hear about others who just wanted to ride off road and did it. edit seconds afterwards, i wish i'd seen this video 8 or 9 years ago.

[@lukepasternak3988]

Right on man I didnt think anyone could ride with no knees guess I'm wrong

[@camino786]

thank you for the inspiration. really!

[@uncopino]

The real protagonist of this video is the location. I’m so jealous of you people! Living next to a dirt bike playground... man I’m so sad with my 390duke going around Rome... I’m only happy when I hit bumpy cobblestones and I take advantage of the dirt bike like riding position so I can stand up on those pegs and pretend I’m out there in the wild

[@joethompson297]

After riding mountain bikes for years, there are so many similarities to dirt bike riding. Instead of "athletic position", MTB it's the "attack position", "prairie dog" is the "ready position". With dirt bikes, you are coordinating your clutch and throttle, in MTB, you are coordinating your pedal strokes and wheel lifts. In the end, it's all about balance and coordinating of bike and body.. Great video!

[@jessd1952]

This is really great stuff for people like me who learnt on our own with zero track experience.

[@Dinkymod]

Having the balls of my feet on the pegs is what I'm used to from sportbike riding. Track days taught me to keep my feet that way. Would be weird to me to do it another way. Interesting how other folks coming from different riding backgrounds get different habits!

[@eveRideRAW]

Yeah for sure! I just did what I thought was comfortable... but I can tell you that even from a little ride yesterday I did a 5 foot drop and if I hadn't been on my toes I think I would have really been hurt!

[@nacholibre1962]

Great video. Lots of different challenges on that terrain. I ride a lot in the forest and one for the trickiest obstackes is the diaganol log. You get one wheel over it and the back wheel slews sideways. Even wrose when it's wet.

[@michaelsylvester6874]

You are so lucky to have a articulate person to show you how to ride correctly I rode wrong for 3 years and even after that it took me a another few years to find out everything

[@vinclario3604]

Really useful stuff as well as fun to watch, many thanks to both of you! I need a dual sport!

[@oscaracosta6976]

I like your videos because we are at about the same level and I have also been riding for about six years. I wish I knew some of this stuff before. I’m getting better and it’s getting funner. Your videos have made me feel like I’m not alone! Thanks!

[@globalisthunter9301]

I rode a mountain bike for many years prior to getting on a motorcycle. If you ride a mountain bike down a mountain fast, you have no choice but to do the things described in this video, or you will most certainly fall. Motorcycles are much heavier than a mountain bike, but we're still talking about two wheels--lots of similarities.

[@michaelanderson9914]

So true. I am switching to dual sport. I think I'm done climbing lol

[@kadellyman3228]

Sweet ride guys! I wouldn't even get close to keeping up,

[@todaywithtrevor9082]

So almost 3 years after you made this I watched both of your how to ride dirt bikes! THANKS SO MUCH! No one talks about it. I just picked up a 2012 ktm 350 probably way to much to start with but I am going to figure it out!

[@wyattdavis1494]

Haha I just picked up a 2016 ktm 350, definitely a little much to start out with but we will figure it out 😂

[@todaywithtrevor9082]

@@wyattdavis1494 yeah... I just rode with a bunch of old duds who really really kicked my but. I ended up going over the bars at one point. Just over a week ago... Single track in Norther MN much different than this video!!!! Trees are no joke

[@edpereira7488]

This is awesome! Even though Gave sounds a lot like Eric from 'That 70s Show' on my headphones 😂

[@drewmerklinghaus6988]

Thanks for publishing this "live" lesson. All this riding technique is super helpful.

[@itsthebike6672]

Great video. It's really easy to fall into bad habits. Squeezing the bike will make sand riding fun. Squeezing the bike with your knees puts exactly 50/50 weight distribution on the pegs which causes stability/ enables more speed.

[@eveRideRAW]

Ohhhh I like the sound of that! I'm going to get out and try that as soon as the clay dries a little here! (monsoon season!)

[@zachmateer6531]

Good vid. Classic lessons, pivotal info.

[@bonnie-voyage1005]

Really great video. Watching this the night before i go on my 2nd ever day of off road riding. (28 years road riding)The first time off road was 3 months ago.Apparently we are going on a 200km ride. Learnt a lot from this video. hopefully it will help tomorrow. Cheers

[@bobsullivan5714]

GREAT VID! I never stuck my foot out like that. It always seemed silly. It never occurred to me that my leg/foot/boot had weight and I could quickly and easily move the bikes center of gravity forward and change the traction on the front tire. This is much better than leaning over the handlebars to do the same thing when a relatively small CG change is needed. I have always used the balls of my feet on the pegs. When I was a kid, I rode everywhere with my toes drooping......Until I hooked a toe on a tree root and endo'd my ass. Since then, balls of the feet on the pegs. Even during my Harley days. Speaking of Harleys....My first three Harleys were kick start bikes. Most guys learned to use the ball of their foot on that slippery rubber kicker pedal or have their foot slip off the pedal forward on the downstroke and flatfoot stomp the ground just in time to have the kicker pedal kickback into the back of the leg......Excessive misery! Perfect agony! Friends rolling on the ground laughing! EveRide, Thanks! I will be watching this vid over......and over.

[@banjolowe]

Excellent tips ! Thanks for sharing ! At 31:45 it felt like you guys were flying in to blow up the death Star lol

[@utdesertghost199]

Always enjoyed watching Gabe Flogging his CRF230. Amazing some of the stuff he's done with that. Now he's on a 450?!! Great video Tyler, this is awesome for everyone mo matter how good we think we are as we all have those bad habits that we don't think about until we see a video like this and start thinking of how we ride. This will also be great for a buddy of mine who's just getting into riding. Thanks to both of you.

[@eveRideRAW]

For sure! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@NirHason]

I really enjoyed watching this video! lot's of good tips and funny. You earned a sub :)

[@eveRideRAW]

Awesome! Welcome aboard Nir!

[@vonsolo2281]

Great Vid.. Thanks for posting.. I have GOT to come to Utah. It look like a great place to ride!

[@eveRideRAW]

It really is a fantastic place to ride! A little hot at the moment (in the south where I'm at) but it's good pretty much all winter.

[@danodbdb]

Good video. Lots of great riding tips. You never stop leaning & improving. Thanks guys.

[@brickbrkr123]

Love your videos man! Glad to see you back on the bike!

[@nicholasspinicelli2911]

Hey EvaRide, grabbing the tank with your knees is something road racers do too during braking, to keep as much weight off of the bars as possible.

[@hg7240]

man i wish is heard that first 8 min. 30 something years ago :)

[@fatdino9087]

I learned so much from this video. Thanks Gabe

[@ralphwatten2426]

Look how Gabe bends his outside elbow in a turn putting weight on his inside handlebar.

[@andypandy.]

Just thinking, ever though you have the Smooth Tony, just think how much smoother the cinema's will be using the stance that Gabe taught you :-)

[@eveRideRAW]

Ohhhh man it'll be like super DUPER smooth Tony! Lol!

[@johnjaygurcsik9018]

Watching the first 9 mins, I thought "How come no videos talk about doing this?" Then you said those same words at 9:10 lol

[@WesleyRomeo]

That guy knows what he talking about. Learn all you can from him.

[@turtlehitman]

7:45 putting your foot forward like that can also help prevent a knee injury should you go down.

[@BobLenderman]

So with your newfound moto skills when can we expect an updated commute time video? :)

[@eveRideRAW]

I think that would be a good idea... especially on the 450x! :D

[@phillipknapp3195]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! This really helped me out, I can't wait to get on the bike and try it out!!! Love the channel (chan chan). Tractor on, Phill

[@RCSimRacin]

I loved it! Learned a bunch! Thanks!

[@vegasromaniac]

sounds like frickin jim that's for sure !

[@jeffszurgot]

What gear do you use for recording video and voice with other person talking? Some good intercom?

[@yukonshye]

I am also curious about how you guys are talking while riding!!

[@nameless5r]

What are they using to communicate? It sounds like they understand each other really well. My wife and I use the packtalk but it's hard to understand sometimes when we're riding.

[@krshoyt]

At 31:58 is that an office chair out there? Lolol

[@samb4577]

Hey, I live in St George and just got a bike. I haven't been riding long. I just ran across your videos today. Do y'all do group rides?

[@boulderghost4457]

Please please please ask Gabe where he got that headlight bracket??? Did he fab it himself or buy it? Any info including what kind of lights and a DIY would make a great video. Subscribed!

[@ackerlyshelzam3373]

I got a question about sticking foot out. I'm concerned about smashing my extended leg into a rock, ground, etc. I noted Gabe said when he's on the track he does that which I totally get since you know there isn't a random bolder anywhere. But would you guys seriously recommend that on an unknown trail? I'm a physical therapist and can tell you a nice straight leg is generally an ACL tear or tibial plateau fracture waiting to happen. Input please. Absolutely love your videos!

[@Paul-hu3zr]

Great video, loads of good advice.

[@piffwhiffle]

But... but... if Jim's name is Gabe, does that mean my name is actually Jim?!

[@scarroll451]

awesome! helpful, thanks. are you using the sena smh 10r for comms?

[@FaymousExotics]

Are you guys in southern utah? I just started riding and have found it is hard to learn about trails near me. If you wouldn’t mind helping me out find some that’d be awesome!

[@FaymousExotics]

Yep that is southern utah, the trail you guys did is the only one I have ridden as the trails over there are the only ones I know about😂

[@jackrabbit8703]

Thanks for this great vid. Very informative. Warner Valley?

[@oldman774]

great video

[@bassguitar1013]

What helmet and goggles is Gabe wearing? It looks like they're clipped into the helmet, and the. Has a shield too?

[@eveRideRAW]

Haha that's actually my helmet. We switched so he'd have the steady shot on the Sony camera. It's the AFX fx41. It's a decent helmet, but I think there are better helmets out there for the money.

[@matthewmatos7582]

Thanks for this vid!! Great info! My question is... when ripping thru the gears, are you sitting or standing?

[@sgt_retiredcharlie4102]

Wow! I just realized that this video is almost 3 years old! I've been riding 2 wheels since I 1977 (I was 5 years old) but I went strictly street at 16 and never got off the pavement. I'm now a 48 year old veteran of the Gulf and Afghanistan and I'm going to be going out with Veterans Back 40 Adventures ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5SVdGOYaqp2i9U ) and I'm SO glad that I found this video before going out! I can't wait to put all this great information into practice! Thanks eveRide and Gabe!

[@PazLeBon]

feels totally wierd for me sitting at the front of the bike. Maybe my long arms make it feel unstable lol

[@baust6]

Where is this? It looks like a ton of fun.

[@eveRideRAW]

Near Green Valley resort in St. George, Utah... right in my back yard :D

[@nolanpadilla4204]

Where is this id like to ride this trail

[@MaximumGtr]

Excellent. Thanks for this!!

[@DannyB-cs9vx]

Your helmet is too large. There is a heck of an echo in there. Good video.

[@843292]

So... you guys are communicating while you're riding. What equipment are you using? I just started looking into this type of equipment a couple weeks ago... I don't know anything about it! Can you give me a recommendation of where to start, what brand of communicator you went with? Once I get my foot in the door I'll begin looking into whether or not they make setups that can add other riders too. -- _Plan: I'd like to go riding with my dad and my son... and talk during the ride._

[@843292]

eveRide, never mind. I saw below where you already answered this question. Thanks!

[@emfl4437]

Gabe is awesome! Great video

[@eveRideRAW]

I wish he could ride more! He's a military man so he keeps pretty busy with that stuff.

[@justicebdone7]

it's not cool to ride trails that were built by mt bikers, they put a lot of work cutting the trails & building jumps, dirt bikes destroy the mt bike trails; if the trails weren't built by mt bikers then it's open season, but that jump was definitely built by mt bikers

[@JohnDoe-zc3fg]

love the voice echo. Adds a bit of mystery to the whole video :)

[@nacholibre1962]

The echo is a bit off-putting. Sounds like you're in a stadium!

why did you mess up the sound :(

[@ryancartwright7487]

Black3n3d the mics are in their helmets mate

[@handyhippie6548]

i've been riding off road and trails for over 40 years, and i have to say, i learned some new tricks here. i always had my arch on the pegs, and never really gripped with my knees. i will try to incorporate these into my riding in the future. the leg kick out in a turn is handy as well. i do that if i think i might dump, but not every time. i will from now on. thanx!

[@ryancartwright7487]

I had seen a couple of your videos before and I've been interested in starting dirt biking for a while, and I'm glad I found this video because it was informative, entertaining, pushed me to start saving for a bike, and you've really earned my subscription! Great content 👍

[@seangrabia5352]

Good to hear you guys getting so pumped from cruising around in the desert! Looks like a great place to ride and practice techniques no matter what stage you are at. Good work lads from Down Under

[@projectspending674]

There's so much I love about this video: Your laugh, the humor, how you guys get along, how well you take instruction, the quality of instruction. And for an older person/new rider its great to see what these bikes can do (I'm a rock-phobe). So many times when I get in a pickle I just throttle on and trust the machine to pull me through and it does. But good to SEE it. Helps trust it. Thanks to you both!

[@DearMajesty]

This is great for when I eventually get to the dirt!

[@lionlocVanDwellington]

I wish I had more smooth trails like that. All the trails around me are covered in basketball sized rocks.

[@dullen87]

What about where to look, and how to take steeper curves and so on ?

[@eveRideRAW]

Ohhh those would also be good topics to cover! As far as where to look, I'd say look as far into the turn as you can. The bike generally goes where you turn your head and body to. For steep turns, I'm gonna need more practice before I can coach on that :)

[@sterlo212]

Hello there sir! Just curious about what communication system you guys were using. Looked like it worked really well. Iv been looking at getting one but there is so many to chose from

[@eveRideRAW]

We were using the Sena SMH10 and 10S. It's a great communicator!

[@843292]

[@osimnod]

Great video! You have such an excellent variety of trails so near you - amazing to be able to try all these techniques out under varied conditions. Took notes and will attempt to improve my skills, too. Tried middle and 4th finger on clutch to increase leverage and maintain solid grip on bars. Works for me. Welcome back, Tyler!

[@eveRideRAW]

Thanks man! I still have a hard time getting my middle finger alone out there on the clutch... for some reason it makes my wrist feel all disconnected. Probably just need to stretch it out... I guess I don't use my middle finger enough lol ;)
