How to Cross a Rock/Log like Graham Jarvis!!! He shows us how!!

[@itsthebike6672]

The reason Graham is a legend is that he is at the top of his game competition wise, yet conducts schools for us mortal, gumby, riders. How many people can you say that of in any sport?

[@jakobfolmar6604]

Orange Crush def a cool guy. Makes impossible things look like nothing.

[@Bananahammock88]

Most other sports do that. Usually sports, they do it with kids.

[@dirtbikesicehockey4788]

No matter how many times you watch top guys like Jarvis ride this stuff you're still amazed on how easy they make it. Great vid....

[@jhkk1269]

its borderline depressing

[@bbarker5766]

Think about how many times he's done the techniques rider like Graham make look easy. Also it should not be depressing it should be encouraging because every rider at the top of their game started off as a beginner at some point and progressed to where they are now and continue to learn as well.

[@jhkk1269]

I know man, all i was saying is rock hopping isnt the easiest of skills to master, will take me a long while yet

[@jhkk1269]

pillows and swiss army knives, so true

[@WaffenSSaregods]

@NoNoNoNii lol I promise it's not that expensive of a sport. If it was motocross I'd say otherwise

[@kimbercolt95]

Graham needs to put a clutch cam on the bars.

[@scottbussler4041]

Brilliant!

[@GeezerEnduro]

That takes some balls to try a rock that big, nice job. Getting to ride with a legend, wow, bucket list item there.

[@KevinJohnson-jc9ju]

it takes a lot of skill and practice but for real big balls go to TT Isle of Man and watch these pro's with the largest ball..like the AC/DC song

[@justanotherhuman5293]

Sometimes I think that we nooobs should all sell our 50 hp 300 cc 2 strokes, buy some 125 cc trial bikes and properly learn how to control the bike if we want to learn how to ride and enduro bike properly :/

[@sdqsdq6274]

lol , its take skill and training , i presume even the top motorcross champion cant do the big rock

[@i_dodge_trees]

Lots of Enduro guys do cross training with trials bikes.

[@elgringoec]

Keep the 300, add a trials bike. 😋

[@kentuckyjustice1408]

Yeah, I don't think I'll be trying this... on my DR650! I'd kill me AND the bike.

[@PazLeBon]

125 smokers take more riding mind, not less ;)

[@elgringoec]

Kudos for having the balls to try, Kyle. I'd probably be on crutches for weeks. Gotta get the grandkids into trials. This stuff is a lot easier to analyze than to execute!

[@MrBe787]

Damn dude, you got Graham Jarvis and only give us 8 minuets?

[@jameswhittington563]

Eric Be lol

[@westwing23]

it was either that or 24 hours of blackjack & Hookers.

[@NTKLife]

I need to try this :D

[@huskybrander2963]

Nu har du haft 2 år på dig låt oss se det😂😂

[@allonm5968]

Like playing ball with Labron James. Jarvis is going down in the history books.

[@Nik-ok9nu]

Only WAAAYYY better!

[@Pauly919]

I love showing vids like this and doing this stuff in front of my friends who say there ATVs can go over more than my 2stroke bike. But I guess it does all come down to the riders skill on any machine. Great vid as always!!!!

[@jamesavery6671]

Bikes are far superior than a quad and graham proves this. There is no way a quad is going over a boulder like that even that small one lol

[@jamesavery6671]

Only 4 wheeler than can get over that is a rock crawler lol

[@jeffro7p202]

Yep i have both a husqvarna and a honda trx 450 but the only place my atv goes is the sand dunes. Its fun for a bit but nothing compares to 2 wheels

[@ZSharkPH]

What a treat to be able to ride with the King of Enduro.

[@dougcoleburn1579]

The last big rock, Jarvis is amazing. He is balancing for a split second on rear tire. Man he’s got skills.

[@magicferra877]

NIce to see an european hard enduro King chilling with u guys :D

[@gabrielevryan7181]

Legend

[@hh65flyer]

Been waiting for this after seeing the pics on instagram. Good on you for at least trying the obstacles Kyle.

[@Trad-Am]

I still intend to get a trials bike to practice on. It's much easier to learn it on the trials bike then transfer it to the big bike

[@tacopro218]

Exactly, I picked up a trials bike for that reason. Also, it was wise for most of the guys to sit out attempting the big rock as a fail could easily send you to the hospital.

[@paulsladinski1236]

Man I have big balls but I was thinking the same thing...w/o some previous trials riding experience that's a fast trip to the ER !!

[@Vaisefodeee]

Taco Pro just fckin send it

[@MrBuddyballs79]

Kudos for attempting the rock at the end

[@刘德良-t9c]

I come from China and have been involved in off-road motorcycle for more than 10 years. China does not like this sport very much and always thinks that we are in meaningless adventure and effort, but I believe that one day China will have a master like jarvis, I wish you all the best in car safety

[@c1mat1]

Nice work Kyle! I really enjoyed watchin this video. Graham is an unbelievable rider with so much skill.

[@straightnobraker4677]

Thanks for the video! And kudos to you for trying that last rock, I'm sure it was even more intimidating in person

[@tylerhughes6634]

This is exactly what I wanted to see. I can watch a pro hop a rock a thousand times and it won't teach me as much as this video did. It really helped to see what happens when you don't make it. Great vid, would've been an even better ride to be on!

[@MR1337SKI]

To succeed first you must fail. This just helps speed that up haha but yeah amazing video

[@user-friendly-12345]

Очень круто!! Спасибо большое за видео

[@GeoffreyThomasGonzales]

looks like he kinda ollies the back by jumping with his legs a bit before throttle

[@GeoffreyThomasGonzales]

he does a lil hop to compress and rebound the front tire - and then does ANOTHER hop just slightly before releasing the clutch. everyone else was just raising the front, but not hopping again to unweight while the rear while it gains traction up the object. they were just kinda erving into it amd letting the rear and their weight bash into the object

[@ryanwilliams4270]

He is truly a master of his sport. In his 40's and he beats 20 somethings in multiple day events. A true testament to his precision. He certainly civilizes the sport. He know's his suspension and syncs it with other riding parameters. I think it's his best attribute

[@theenclave678]

Respect! 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼 that last rock was crazy

[@MichaelCalvey]

Man, video doesn't do this crap justice, but even as muted as it can make this seem, I felt the adrenaline in my palms watching your first person attempt at that rock. Scary - and kudos for trying it out! Graham once again proves he's the master here.

[@michail1963]

Kyle, thumbs up for you! Very curageous to keep on trying the obstacle several times after crashing - especially when it is very likely to send you over the bars...normally being young and stupid fearless does the trick, but in middle ages its gotta be courage:)!

[@FhargaZ]

Grsham seems like he hits the rock almost always with the middle of the tyre, like a line with the end of the suspension 😮😲😳

[@JF32304]

I doubt that Graham's bike is stock.

[@imurdad.6957]

good vid idk whit to say gg

[@prschuyler]

Kyle, What did this cost per attendee?

[@albertaatv5325]

Love seeing this stuff cause now there is proof that you fall and sometimes that’s what people need

[@chriswhittle3135]

How did you find out about that event? I would have made the trip to Moab for that for sure!

[@AEXRT65]

sending the bike to the stratosphere... 🤣😂😅😆😁😄😃😀😂🤣😅😆

[@MrBuddyballs79]

And why don't you try a trials bike? Just got my wife a new GasGas contact 250 for Christmas and it's the first trials bike I've ever sat on. It's WAY different than any bike I've ever rode. I'm looking to pick up a cheap one just to help hone some skills on.

[@jerrywald6481]

Remember. I thought I saw where he started on trials bikes....they are lighter - lower geared and gives you a chance to learn BALANCE and control at SLOW or even STOPPED speeds. This is huge I think, but it will just takes us a LOT of practice and we will get a BIT of it....just nice to learn this BASICS...slow speed control of our bikes and how to unweight that front wheel and then have control over the back break adn clutch to keep the control. He has spent thousands of hours PERFECTING slow speed that gives him the control he needs. He is awesome to watch though..

[@Notesens]

4:13, Everyone else is just riding over the rock.. Graham you can see compresses the front suspension while givin' it a bit of clutch throttle, (to get that front wheel on the obstacle), then does the exact same thing but using more compression and more clutch throttle to propel himself over. Everyone else is using forward momentum to get over it.. probably because they wanna look successful in front of graham the giant.. big groups can be intimidating.. you dont wanna be the only guy to look weak. It's something that's still inside of us from the hunter gatherer days.. go slow, use the techniques provided, at least if you don't make it over the obstacle, you're failing while learning the proper technique - and he definitely notices that. All these other guys riding over it with just clutch throttle will never be able to get over that bigger rock at the start of the video! good luck in your progression peeps!

[@dion2936]

Mr Jarvis im your fans from jogjakarta, Indonesia. You are the legend. Will you give me one of your enduro motorbikes for me,... ?? Please,....

[@southernxposureclimbingsch6282]

I would delve in suspension settings as far as every rider in the group. It would be interesting to have the pro gentleman re-valve and set up everyone's suspension just like his. This way everyone (is kind of) on the same playing field. Really cool video. Long live the two-stroke!!!

[@KevinJohnson-jc9ju]

I haven't been on my bike for 2 years because f my hips, I had both replaced June 8th 2019 and Im 80% better, took my bike out a few times.. no pain . I think im ready to challenge Jarvis anyday now...lol right

[@osmanrumeli]

we,all men, wants to do it like Graham,like other professionals.. but we forget that, its their job.. we say to wifes ''honey,by im going to woork!'' and go to an office or shop etc.. but when they say the same to their wifes , they go do enduro whole day..

[@myronstambaugh761]

Timing and practice will get most of us over that crazy rock. Really, timing and practice. Most of us understand the technique but it just doesn't work its way from our head into our hands without a lot of practice. I like to smaller rock to work on the technique. Must have the little wheelie followed, in rhythm, with the big clutch drop before a big rock/jersey wall becomes possible...use of body timed in for rebound launching.

[@XJonAye]

The problem with is grahm is that he's do good at it, he can't remember what it feels like to not be able to do it. "You just get your wheele 2/3 from it top, some throttle, pop clutch, pull it on top" That could broken down into so many micro steps. What an anazing opportunity, maybe get rich larsen next

[@calebnewton4347]

What do you think about the 2012 ktm 300xc? I’m on the verge of buying it its original owner even original spark plug just unsure if it’s a good year

[@Jesse05149337]

You got to ride with Graham freaking Jarvis. I’m so JEALOUS.

[@chriscorrente7174]

Dude. Mad props for all the attempts. Worst part about mustering all that gumption is the NEXT time riding and looking at it again. makes me wanna puke a little, but I find my muscle memory usually overcomes where I came up short on a different later day... But that adrenaline, staring at a still rock...

[@joegatrill6634]

You were definately the bravest guy there... Including graham! I would never have tried that 4 times. Good try and great video.

[@刘德良-t9c]

I come from China and have been involved in off-road motorcycle for more than 10 years. China does not like this sport very much and always thinks that we are in meaningless adventure and effort, but I believe that one day China will have a master like jarvis, I wish you all the best in car safety

[@timbomuffin]

Not being funny but I've just got a te300 and love it but graham could talk to me all day but it's just never going to happen he just to good but well done to all trying it takes balls tbh🇬🇧👍

[@smokey988]

Nice

[@rikashaw4815]

Smokey it also has an sxs skidplate

[@Bowiehair]

Can this be done on four strokes? I've seen Polterras do it. But not videos for four strokes. No clutch behavior that matches the flywheel on a two stroke.

[@electricbraaap]

What about using spotters for this kind of challenges? If not for safety, it gives a bit of extra confidence

[@509FUN]

Just because there’s not room to ride out on top of the rock doesn’t mean you can’t just ride it out, you just have to anticipate that drop and get to the top and anticipate going over the drop without stopping that’s what seemed to be the main issue with people that didn’t make it without going over the bars

[@sushimamba4281]

GJ has insane level skills. With that in mind... I think I will start on much smaller rocks. Say about the size of a small cat or dog to start with.

[@RideWithTheWolf]

A lot of things to think about at each instant. What's so scary is balancing in a wheelie like the coach. The way I see it, get it up there, nail it hard, then hit the throttle again to jump off 😄

[@niklasliedenpohja6666]

The legend in this is called JoeyMac420

[@sirgriffinman]

Best video you have ever posted :)

[@kaosadventures]

You lucky buggers would be awesome to spend a day with the legend training you would of learned heaps

[@txiriondo]

best advice anyone can give you to improve this type of riding is get a trials bike, maybe you wont get to the point were your balance on the bike is perfect so you can stay in place as much as you want but it makes a lot easier to learn how to leap front and compress suspensions for launch since you have ore room for error.

[@floridagliderpilot4101]

Does a 4 stroke have fast enough throttle response to make this work? This would be pretty hairy on a heavy 4 stroke with a bit of throttle lag.

[@Smightification]

lol he makes everything look far to easy XD he is just a total beast!

[@Motoadventurespr]

Very nice video. Really like a lot the way you explain things. Good job

[@martymcmannis8662]

Time to get another bike. Always did enjoy the dirt. One I'd like to trash

[@lombardozarateiii6920]

Do u compress the suspension by applying brute force to the front fork or do you use the front brake to compress the forks?

[@hock4540]

4 tries! That's iron dude! Glad the wrists and neck survived. That is a lot to think about at once.

[@revampmobilesolutions8851]

My heart was beating in my throat just watching you guys do it...koodos

[@Whazzabiezzz]

i can't even lift the front wheel without engine, like at all, and this guy's doing this..

[@EnduroTainment]

Good job! Where’s that rock so I can try!

[@nearkolob]

Buy a trials bike and practice for a few years. That is how Graham did it.

[@tombobtail7706]

Fantastic video, the way you broke it all down and analysed it. Thanks

[@sevenmilewhite1407]

Phew, brutal stuff brother! Much love and respect!

[@Accidentlpro]

You said he did tires and a skid plate but leaves the rest stock. Does he do anything with the suspension?

[@thunderbembo3406]

jarvis make it look so easy by it looks..but actually it took a lot of practice for a person like me to try it out.

[@Mike-od6pi]

How to control the throttle while holding the bar? Or just pull a bit the throttle and control it the hole time with the clutch

[@jamesavery6671]

You may be better off buying a trials bike that's a lot lighter than dirt bike at first

[@Adam-rh8fj]

If it wasn’t for the internet I wouldn’t even think this was possible lol

[@jonasduell9953]

wouldn't it make sense to practice stuff like this on a trial bike first?

[@boarder989]

That looked like a fun day

[@woodworm3615]

Kyle was that your 2 stroke 300xc bike?

[@ka4172]

And we knowledge,we are not Graham Jarvis ha ha!

[@_T_R_E_V_O_R_]

1:48 "BONE STOCK" me: sees fmf exhaust

[@newtubebooblover]

Great video!🤓🤓

[@yonihales9133]

It's easy.....just watch the video! Lol

[@mattgrover3096]

Sick man! For even trying that. That was a very tricky rock. Unless you wheelie it. I would try it too but shit myself for sure.

[@EndurohpEngBr]

You have to learn first in a trials bike, than after transfer to a much bigger and heavier bike like Graham did.

[@ctheo13]

Good on ya for giving that boulder 4 goes! It is VERY intimidating and GJ makes it look too easy!! Respect....

[@AJ-oj5eu]

Just um.....go around it. (Shrugs) :)

[@samuelyeet6006]

Graham seems like hes at a payed meet and greet that he realllllllly doesnt want to be at lol

[@JF32304]

Wonder why he doesn't have more subs..... I would of thought he'd be over 100k by now.

[@dagsterblaster4973]

Fantastic video, thanks for posting. You make great videos.

[@Nik-ok9nu]

@Dirt Bike Channel where was this filmed?

[@samholmes7977]

mans went into creative mode and flew up the rock

[@setiabudibudi2913]

translate Indonesia language teks, please.

[@Kickstart500]

That’s a man that wears a bike like some of wear a glove

[@willyrasubala9067]

Graham jarvis famous is like Valentino rossi

[@bhaktalex]

Best shot my butt…he didn't even lift the front tire 🧐

[@tbpc1]

You really have to know your bike to handle it like that

[@chazzgonzalez1356]

Have you had any thought of buying a Gas-Gas?

[@lousplumbing2042]

That’s a scary rock lol. You get a A for effort

[@shonsweet2781]

Don’t want to win that bike on the next give away! Hahahaha!
