[@buckenduro1211]

I wonder how many viewers realise who Shane is and know of he's racing history lol 😂 onya mate!

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Nothing too special here mate, just like getting out and doing some roosting!!!

@@DirtWiseRidingSchool Says a former world and ISDE champ...Huge thanks for the lessons man

[@natehendricksen3338]

Hey Shane! It took me a month to recover from your 2 day riding school. Great training you really get people to push past their comfort zone and show them they're capable of a lot more than they think. Cheers Mate.

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Cheers Nate, good to hear from you, and yes you are right, gotta push those boundaries to get better mate!!!!

[@nickg2431]

I was hoping to find a video by you on low speed control Shane. Again no BS "wave your legs from side to side,try standing on your hands on the tricky sections" etc😀

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Yeah mate, that topic is on the short list of more How To's in the near future!!!

[@rowantrefz8906]

Braap, great control and words, Shane!!

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Cheers mate! We need to line up a rip session when I come down to So Cal in Jan 2025, good to see you still shredding in the races down that way!!

[@bjooppeg]

Great video and cool to teach new drivers to practice without a helmet.

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Absolutely...., and thanks for the kind words!!!

[@tonystewart9504]

Do I detect sarcasm in your comment.

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Definitely not from me, I was being genuinely sincere!!

[@tonystewart9504]

​@@DirtWiseRidingSchoolnot from you but the comment about the helmet. No offence to you.good vid

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Old mate has a valid enough of a point though as well - it's all good!!!

[@SKRAMRacing]

Awesome! That slick on the back though....

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

You're not wrong, but sometimes you gotta go for it, eh?!!?

[@soy_leche]

Hey Shane, what's the deal with your grips? Noticed that before and they look pretty shredded/bare bar. Is there a functional reason for that or something interesting?

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

The "interesting" thing about these grips (which actually isn't that interesting!)........, is that I'm just too lazy and too much of a tight are to go change them for new ones, ha!!! They work good enough for me, however though they are getting close to the end of their life cycle!!!

[@SwedBear1]

Just stumbled upon your technique videos, great stuff! As I'm a noob on an electric ktm freeride, am I to stand on the arches as well? (Rear brake on the left side handlebar) I've listened to the balls people and it's heavy for the calfs 😅 Also tried the burning sensation in the front of my thighs, as well as the arm pump 💪. At least I'm progressing, down to 37 minutes from 70 on the local 15km enduro track, but there's plenty of room for improvement! Awesome fun!!!

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Stoked for you with your big improvements on your local track - time and practice, getting out there and doing it, really fast-tracks your improvements!!! For the reasons you mentioned (more exertion on your leg muscles etc), yes it is better to stand on your arches on the E-bike also, this allows you to ride for a longer period of time with less fatigue compared to the other option.

[@SwedBear1]

@DirtWiseRidingSchool Thanks mate, appreciate it! Arches it is, maybe I won't get cramp taking my boots off next time 😅

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Making sure you stay hydrated during your ride works to offset cramps as well, doing so definitely helps for me!!

[@SwedBear1]

@@DirtWiseRidingSchool No worries, I drink a lot of water, even now during the cold and dark months here in Sweden 👍

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Utomordentlig!!!

[@rider65]

I would have really liked and preferred some visual rather than 4 mins of explaining prior to a visual que. Just a tip for fututre vids mate. It's less engaging when you explain for so long without showing technique. 👍

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Cheers for the feedback! Yeah I agree and that is why if you look at the videos loaded up in the days following, I did exactly what you say, because of that exact reason, and that is the intent for all of the future videos also!!

[@corbin065]

Show off a railroad track to slow ride along!! - I always love that scene from your awesome DVD instructional videos….. Consider wearing a helmet on these demos so I can show this to my kids :)

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Indeed mate, keep on roosting!!

[@ianlaughlin85]

All I hear is the bike.

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Remote microphone is on the way, standby......

[@tvpi-z1v]

You need a mic dude.

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Correct on that!!!

[@kirkwilliams4942]

Do you know who he is???? He deserves MUCH more respect than Dude! We love ya Shane.

[@DirtWiseRidingSchool]

Nah mate, I'm just another Aussie wanker from out in the sticks - I need more than a mic to help me, ha!!
