Hard Training Without Leaving Your Garage! 3 Simple Techniques!

[@dznnf7]

The level of detail you pour into these videos is EXACTLY what's lacking in so many others. You're setting a coaching benchmark here Rich! Talk as long as you like; if we all practiced as much as we should/could Billy Bolt would be nervous!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

That means a lot! Thanks for the support!!

[@johndavis2399]

Yes, good job ......these vids are compact powerhouses of great advice. Thank you! {You are obviously running your brain at a very focused level to deliver such rapid talks.....a focus also required on the trail}

[@scottshort1487]

Couldn't agree more.

[@strictlymitch]

Plot twist. Billy is watching these 🥵

[@craiglimon6964]

💯 Agreed…. I wish I watch them all like 7 years ago.

[@CodyRaue]

You do talk a lot but there's always value in what you say. You're an amazing teacher and I learn so much from these. Keep them up Rich!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

I appreciate the support!

[@errless1]

Dude! Your long winded tutorials are exactly what’s been missing from most others I’ve looked at. You explain so nicely what has to take place to accomplish the desired result. Please don’t change a thing! Thank you for your efforts, I hope it pays off for you too!

[@aaronsessions9771]

I’m 52, new to dirt biking and so freaking happy I found your tutorials! Thank you so much for all the detail and excellent instructions!!! I got my bike 2 weeks ago and it’s icy and cold and I’ve been thinking to myself “I wish there was something I could do in my garage to get better” then I find this nugget of pure gold! Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏻 please keep making these tutorials to keep us safe and enjoying this awesome sport!

[@AntigravityBatteries]

YOu are not long winded at all. You are simply natuarally using the proper technique for teaching. Re-iterate the points, clearly demonstate the technique and give the reason for the technique. Do not change your style of teaching for those to impatient to listen. You ROCK. Love this channel, it inspires me!

[@GrandpaNutz]

I’ve watched this dozens of times, currently have it playing while I’m in the garage practicing now. Just heard for the first time, move back and forth, not up and down. Game changer with the wheel lift. An Aha moment! Thanks Rich!

[@kristopherfrootloops6714]

Thank you for pointing this out!

[@finrampe]

I'm big fan of garage training on enduro and trials bike. When I first dived into static balance with enduro bike I took most of air out from tires and added a pile of tires on both sides so I could lean on them with my front wheel when fully turned on either side - it was a good place to start and got me motivated cause I could lean instead of sit and dab. My first mission was to be able to swap from left to right .. then again slower. Also if you can reach the sealing while standing up put one finger on sealing for balance then try to take it off for a second .. two seconds .. .. one full song from the radio .. then take your phone and watch youtube while balancing.. repeat .. repeat .. repeat One intensive winter in garage can provide more skills than 15 years of easy trail riding..

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Very true! Thanks for watching!

[@evr-mr3cp]

Best hard enduro instructional channel on KZbin, keep up the good work Rich. I’m 60 and am still learn/enjoying this stuff in part thanks to you.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

That’s awesome to hear! Thanks for the support!!

[@marktinsley7845]

Love the dog watching his technique. Okay it’s out the bag, the dog is his coach. He truly is this man’s best friend 😂

[@vasileoprea8990]

I can’t believe there are people saying that u talk too much. Very on point and ur words carry a lot of useful information Sending love from Eastern Europe!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thanks for watching!

[@remingtonhintze1858]

I love it how your dog is always happy to be included in the videos.

[@Twilight_Charger]

Here I am commenting 2 years later, lol. As an older guy who wants to improve off road ability on a larger enduro bike I am amazed at the amount of information you communicate. Clear, logical, simple (to understand) and organized from the ground up. You are by far the best teacher I have encountered, keep up the great work. I am on the 10 episode foundational videos now, just taking a break to absorb and reinforce.

[@stockcar4d]

You really do give us the best advice, I'm 49 and been riding for about 15years now, love hard enduro...getting better every ride. New Zealand has awesome terrain and watching your vids has helped so much. You are correct....I'm watching this again coz I just don't practice enough,lazy.....lazy lazy lazy haha...but I'm off now to go practice my static balance on my 22 yz250x....cheers for everything. Nga mihi

[@SobeMe86]

I really like these short tutorials. They are well constructed and being broken down to chunks, I find them doable (yet challenging in a good way) while out on a ride. Instead of my ride becoming just a boring training session.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@willmcgregor7184]

Yup! 😆 People who dis practice drills cant do them & they’re missing out cuz the slow speed skills are great to possess. Thanks for your detailed explanation!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Slow drills help the most! Thanks for watching!

[@willmcgregor7184]

What tire pressure on cement do you think would be similar to trail conditions?

[@downbadman2660]

I love how you keep it real and let people know they have to put in the time to improve instead of some "magic" tip that teaches you in 5 min on how to be a professional.

[@louisdoucet1498]

Awesome calling us out it's what is needed... Respect.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thanks for watching!

[@mrdeadpool4177]

u are unique cause like a friend said "The level of detail you pour into these videos is EXACTLY what's lacking in so many others"

[@MsDev77]

I don't have 30 minutes. I promise myself to spend at least 10 min.. After third day the results are impressing, my static balance it's way better now. I will keep pushing myself there's no other way. Hard work really works. Thanks Rich

[@caseymac2287]

My oldest daughter is always asking me about technique. I know exactly where to go every time and its the irc tire guy. We both love your in-depth explanations. She is transitioning to a 65sx and is learning the clutch. Your clutch control videos have been super helpful!

[@burtdakarax]

Thanks Rich, just what I needed. I'm 62 and never done this stuff before. I appreciate the before and after 'rant'. I won't be able to manage 30mins at a time, but it's really good to have a target to aim for.

[@guywheeler4225]

Dude, I love your passion for helpin people get good at this stuff!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thanks for watching!!

[@NikiPWORK]

Mate, just continue the way you do your videos! I learned a lot and I believe a lot of guys did! Thanks a lot ! 🔥🙏🏼

[@ervinpama7522]

This is a real tutorial! Continue to create more videos, i give my 100% support

[@hickokaviation2249]

Sitting in my garage watching this and getting ready for my daily static balance practice. Thanks for all your teaching.

[@craigmattinson4052]

Rich is such an excellent and enthusiastic communicator. I have found that you can put a piece of carpet or rug under your tires and it helps with the static balance drill. This works similar to letting air out of the tires.

[@stevecoulter5019]

You only talk so much because you have the skill / ability & experience to do so, and it's the exact reason why we watch you dude 👊. Your videos are a massive help and it's because of the detail 👍

[@AntiStressKit]

Rich Larson: THIS IS GOLD! Thank you for your continuous contribution to the advancement of us aspiring hard enduro riders 👍🙏

[@nhu4202]

Love your coaching and challenge. Did my first 30 min static balance session today..only got 10 mins in before my heart rate was taking away from my learning. I’ll do it again tonight. You said it right…put in the work and you’ll get the benefit!

[@ryanlemons7831]

@ Jerry Jasperson Heck yeah brotha! Nice! Keep on keeping on! 😎

[@therealcountrybumpkin]

I noticed the same thing. I was covered in sweat in like 10 minutes

[@giannibravo9092]

Adding pressure to the different pegs makes a huge difference I love this tip ❤ I’ve been practicing just changing pressure on the pegs whilst riding through straight sections of trail and I am always surprised by how much attitude it puts into the steering and direction of the bike

[@ShadowsFirst]

My wife and I started working on indoor static balance this weekend. I'm on my second night and am seeing big improvements! I put a short up on my channel and plan to do another in a few more sessions for comparison, hopefully including my Mrs on her little green machine as well. Thank you Rich for the inspiration to keep practicing, no matter what.

[@ShadowsFirst]

Just finished night 7. Huge progress! I can't do the pogo stick thing yet, but basic balance is getting pretty solid!

[@scottmuirhead2813]

So much to learn, i love the way you can disect everything to such depth. Genius

[@dalepetersen6533]

1st. Your dog is such a great little concerned pup!! 2. Great video!! 3. Practicing these techniques is a serious workout!!

[@babar69110]

just came back here to motivate myself. You can be really proud of your work ... You are the BEST

[@gelpracabeca8230]

You know the talk. You are such a great teacher

[@Motorheart579-cheesesteak]

awesome vid getting back into riding after a long break 20 years this is helping me to remember

[@heidiharkonen1795]

Thank you for adding tips to short riders! I’m 157cm / 5,15 foot and my toes don’t reach to peg/rear brake if other foot is on ground. This means some of the drills in other videos seem impossible to me. But practising balance and hopping this way should ease my riding hugely.

[@christhompson1708]

These tutorials are exactly what we need, not long winded pal your thorough keep them up

[@andyhawes3822]

Fantastic inspiration. Super stoked to get after it. Accountability - it’s a thing. Well done and thank you.

[@tamborvivo]

Bro, it’s so awesome how much info and detail you share with us, this is EXACTLY what we need. Every time I find a Pro and ask something they show the technique and say “It’s like this” so they leave me confused and depressed. Thanks so much for teaching us step by step, you got a new subscriber here ✋

[@garretthorner]

I’ve just recently been able to static balance in the garage (that concrete is a biatch 😂) This video helped me understand why I can’t get the front wheel off the ground when both feet are on the pegs. I’ve been pushing down with my legs when I need to move more back and forth. Can’t wait to try this all later today Thanks, Rich 🤙

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad it helped man! Hammer down! Good luck!

[@michaelwiechowski4139]

I'm 72 and riding street and old road racer but very little off road. Static balance drill sucked for first 20 minutes then BINGO...I got one. (dirt divit in front wheel REALLY helped!) Goal is controlled wheelies (used to do power wheelies rarely getting the balance point) I now have a 2012 Husqvarna 310TE which I love. It came with a Rekluse clutch which is a bit wierd. YOUR VIDEOS ARE SUPERB!!! HOW DO I KNOW THAT THEY ARE SUPERB???...THEY WORK!!!!! THANK YOU!!🙏

[@leechunyendanielleecy2646]

Principles of training - well-explained & supported by effective demonstration. Thank you again.

[@rafaelacosta5038]

I don't have a motorcycle yet, planing to buy it on 2023 and, I'm learning a lot. I'll put all in practice. Thanks for those details.

[@jabee81]

The best channel for detailed tips n tutorials

[@LorenzoMiguelVillalon]

Thanks for this, and for including short rider tips with the lesson!🍻

[@randomstuff0331]

Rich, i really enjoy your videos man. My son and I have been studying your training/tips.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thanks for watching I appreciate the support

[@christopherpurdy3509]

Longwinded or not, your an excellent teacher !! Your delivery is very clear and precise , so therefore easy to understand . Thanks for the great videos

[@jimbergey3624]

Seriously, I have been watching training videos for years. I have only watched 2 of your videos so far and absolutely the best videos I have ever seen for serious technical description while still being easy understand!!!

[@matiasmaldonado510]

I'm a beginner rider and I'm bad at it, but your videos are helping me a lot, your explanations are very clear and helpful, I have tried the static balance for just a bit in my garage and is so difficult, specially for me as a beginner, but I have never tried with low tire pressure, excelent tip, than you 👍👊

[@andriy3449]

Awesome!!! It’s always boring to spend a weekend ride to train balance. Thank you for this trick with air pressure to train in garage. Just came back from first garage training balance. Got 20 seconds. Thank you for this tutorial once again!

[@drop-enduro]

Super video, I already started doing this two weeks ago, all the techniques that you described make sense, I myself came to them during my training. Really, 30 minutes of exercise gives a cool result. Ideally, I also want to come to the fact that in balance, jerking up the front wheel. Thank you, bro, hugged!

[@TommyNitro]

This channel is a gold mine.

[@bwatchnu1]

Been riding both street & off-road for years & still learning. Love the attention to detail. It's the little things that make the world of difference.

[@johnsonsadventurequest]

So so awesome! I have been watching you for many years and seeing how you have perfected and improved from years ago has made me envious! If only I had practiced and devoted as hard as you have, I might be half as good. Thanks so much for your videos.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thanks for watching! I’m stoked you’re enjoying the channel!

[@andrewsoldan6050]

good vid, you just pointed out what I was doing wrong, not up and down but forth and back - that's the key, thanks.

[@woodkraftsfwi1999]

When he said that something clicked in my brain. That’s what I’m doing wrong

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thanks for watching! Back and forth always!

[@giotuty1685]

I think you have best videos for people who want to get better. Thank you

[@babar69110]

always top videos !!! No offense to famous enduro guys videos and their videos and clinics, but you are light years ahead from them ! Wish you will come to Europe ASAP

[@warrenlange6106]

Thank you. You cleared up what I was doing wrong with the hopping. Nice job.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad to help!

[@mtbalot]

So glad I found your channel, cant wait to go practice, the ice and and snow is almost gone

[@mattgallizioli5978]

Calling us out hard on this one! Love it another great video and sometimes the truth feels good as well!

[@paulgeorgelas383]

man, i have zero issues with static balance on my mountain bike. Spent the past 40 minutes following the guidance and I can't get it to balance at all on my TX300. Amazing what CG and a weight difference will do. Gonna keep at it.

[@grangeranch]

man agreed

[@EdP-j1t]

or start with a mtn bike / pit bike, maybe setup front wheel brake to the right on a Mtn bike

[@scottshort1487]

10 minutes is far from long winded. It's impressive that you have fitted so much into one short video. Thanks for your videos. Look forward to getting out doing drills.

[@jorgesobrinho1925]

One more great quality video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@kaytee4863]

Many thanks from here in the UK

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

I appreciate the support!

[@kawasakichopshop2759]

Always the best advice...im gonna master all these techniques before my next lifetime

[@glennr9913]

As soon as I mounted a pair of IRC tires I magically gained all these skills. Seriously, these are great videos. I really appreciate and enjoy them. Now, I just need to clean up the garage...

[@caldeirone]

Your tips are ALWAYS awesome! Thanks ma man!

[@CoolEyeColorado]

These is great practice for those of us in Colorado or other snowy areas that limits our riding in winter.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

That was the hope! Thanks for watching

[@patpaluch9842]

What a fantastic video! So many great tips especially the importance of front to back, rather than up and down, motion. Thanks for taking the time to make your videos!

[@PEROTTIX]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!! Very nice video, especially because you talk about commitment and discipline. 2 skills which are so important in life and I wish I could master more!! the best part of the video is the beginning when your dog is looking for cuddles 🥰 is a she or he ? Thanks

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thanks for watching! All about discipline! And that’s my best buddy Rome. He’s a boy.

[@PEROTTIX]

@@IRCTireUSAMoto Today I did the first 30 min static balance. 3 things I realized: 1) it’s difficult 😀 2) I was sweating despite the temp 😀 3) for my almost 2 sec record I had to move my hips very close to handlebar and tank which was a surprise. Weight on front tire seems to be key On the positive side 30 minutes passed relatively quiclky 😀 Keep pushing down here in Italy 😀

[@albluft9252]

Nothing but the best informational videos...keep talking!

[@SomeInfoSecDude]

Great video... once again! This one is especially appreciated because I'm stuck in f**** snow until March-April. So garage drills it is...

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

That was the plan!

[@Dirtbike227]

You're the best coach for sure. Probably I watched all your videos, some of them twice. I start doing statistics balance, clutch control, body position training sessions after I watched your video (Private lesson) and it's helping me riding my bike so much more that I expected. Also doing my training sessions for statistic balances, after I get close to being comfortable doing it, I start taking my left hand off the grip to make a little bit more challenging. Next step was getting on the bike using only my right hand and continue balancing as long as possible. Really challenging, but looks like it every time I practice, getting better and better... Thank you for everything, big like 👍 Waiting for more video ✊✊✊

[@JeffKendallWeed]

That was great! Out to the garage I go!

[@toddmartin5002]

Thanks for the teaching videos Rich, they help tremendously!!👊🏻

[@turtleinwhalmart8114]

Thanks Rich. I was trying to figure out what I could do in the garage. And bingo.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@randymercado8466]

I love the way your dog looks at you at 2:30. kinda saying "You sure you're doing alright dude"

[@cyclemoto8744]

Thank you for your time and content. I look forward to practicing these drills. cheers from OZ

[@mikkorafsten4413]

Your tips are great and arguments really back 'em up. Keep up the good work. Just wish I'd be as good at practicing.

[@CSRGM1915]

Love the "rants" and love the content. Please keep it coming Rich!

[@harveysmith552]

I do not think you rant too much I think your information is very useful and very helpful and another note I love watching you ride You are very skillful I am jealous I’ve been riding for forty years and I’m still terrible

[@Unqualified2ride]

Solid advice! Gonna give the static another try 🎉

[@dan_deray]

It’s only until you give it a try that you realize how hard it is! Love this video !

[@zzxx33mh]

If you can't do it, then no one to blame than your self.. 💥.. True.. Rich, We need more of these inside Garage.. ✌️

[@winorbin]

Probably the best free hard enduro videos on KZbin

[@joshburch4959]

What you meant to say was… “the best hard enduro videos on KZbin.”

[@argndogo]

Great video!! Could have used more info on when and what you're doing with the front break.

[@martinzorro640]

Siempre excelente tus consejos Rich Los estoy aplicando en mis salidas de enduro. Y cada día van mejor. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

🙌🙌

[@timsilva1944]

Revisiting this after 5 months off due to a broken and dislocated ankle. I found that I was wishing for a nice and smooth concrete floor, opposed to my old, crumbly one that made the front tire stick and not allow small steering inputs. Was tough at first, but getting there. 👍

[@breconhorse3777]

Would this be alright to do with motocross suspension set up on the shocks or should I adjust the suspension

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Yeah it’s fine. 👍

[@elgringoec]

Excellent descriptions. When we give up because it's too hard, we're victims of our own lack of effort.

[@enduro-nuts]

One of the best exercises in this cold period, thanks for this good idea, we will not get bored this winter for sure😎

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

🙌🙌

[@sund5]

Very very very nice video! 10/10. I do not think you talk to much. Heck I did not find an unessersary sentence. They all made sense and provided value. Keep doing what you are doing :-)

[@motocatfish]

Your videos are the best advice & explanations out there! THANKS!!! :-)

[@VFRCapBob]

My last ride convinced me I have no business on technical singletrack until I am competent at these balance drills. Starting off with my Mt. Bicucle then the enduro. 58 years old so every crash takes a compound toll on my energy and enthusiasm.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

These drills will help!!

[@daveknott4563]

I always learn with every video you produce, thank you! That's not always the case with all the content out there. The precise explanation while keep it on point is spot on. I was just practicing this in my garage last night, wondering why it tips so fast. Thanks for the air in the tire tip. Also more the reason I should learn in the dirt if necessary for grip.

[@uncletom1971]

Man your're so motivating it's crazy. You're my new 'doctor Motor'. At the moment I keep my new KTM350 in my appartment so I cannot do any exorsizes, but as soon as the weather turns for the better here in Sweden I'll try it. "IRC tires", I think it's what I got on my Kawasaki KLX230 I bought last year.. They're good tires.

[@nikolailu]

Man ur videos are the best!!! Thank you so much, already practising)

[@kf4435]

Excellent cheers once again Rich 👍🏻

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thanks for watching!
