Hard Training Without Leaving Your Garage! 3 Simple Techniques!

Today the IRC tire Guy challenges you guys to learn these three techniques with out leaving your garage!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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"

[@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!

[@ervinpama7522]

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

[@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 ! 🔥🙏🏼

[@hickokaviation2249]

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

[@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

[@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 👍

[@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.

[@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!!🙏

[@AntiStressKit]

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

[@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

[@babar69110]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@kawasakichopshop2759]

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

[@TommyNitro]

This channel is a gold mine.

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@christhompson1708]

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

[@gelpracabeca8230]

You know the talk. You are such a great teacher

[@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.

[@elgringoec]

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

[@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!

[@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 👍👊

[@dougiep8464]

Love how your dog was watching you when static balancing.

[@kaytee4863]

Many thanks from here in the UK

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

I appreciate the support!

[@scottmuirhead2813]

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

[@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!!!

[@Motorheart579-cheesesteak]

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

[@LorenzoMiguelVillalon]

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

[@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 ✋

[@turtleinwhalmart8114]

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

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mtbalot]

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

[@OldManEnduro]

Thanks for taking away my excuses. It's all I've got, Rich!!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Haha! Got to break those built in the excuses! 🙌 thanks for watching man!

[@leechunyendanielleecy2646]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@albluft9252]

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

[@jorgesobrinho1925]

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

[@dalepetersen6533]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@jabee81]

The best channel for detailed tips n tutorials

[@mattgallizioli5978]

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

[@winorbin]

Probably the best free hard enduro videos on KZbin

[@joshburch4959]

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

[@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.

[@ezecapo90]

Thanks for this! I live in the city and it's hard to get out and find dirt to practice as much as I'd like. I'll get srs now about practicing this on my driveway!

[@warrenlange6106]

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

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad to help!

[@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

[@zzxx33mh]

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

[@andyhawes3822]

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

[@dan_deray]

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

[@caldeirone]

Your tips are ALWAYS awesome! Thanks ma man!

[@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 ✊✊✊

[@toddmartin5002]

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

[@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!

[@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 😂

[@giotuty1685]

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

[@Psycroptic67]

Great lesson, I am headed to the garage now to start on the balancing drill! Thanks for the videos, as others have said, much appreciated!

[@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.

[@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.

[@danamesarchik3633]

Rich thanks for making all these great videos. Your tough love approach is just wait I needed to become a better rider. At 62 and have being on a motorcycle most of my life I can attest you can improve your skills no mater your age.

[@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...

[@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!

[@EdP-j1t]

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

[@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

[@cyclemoto8744]

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

[@jorpakzenduro9375]

Thank You Sir...So Much learning from your Videos.. Your Such a Good Teacher... #Magnified explanation always #100percent pure tutorial Shout out Straight From the Philippines.

[@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

[@guaterecinos]

Thank you for doing this with passion Did practice just 30 mins before a ride, man i got more confidence to Ride slower, feel more enjoyable ride this time. 💪🏻

[@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]

🙌🙌

[@CSRGM1915]

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

[@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!!

[@dirt_bike_adventures]

Thank you for this great info and all your detail in the videos you put out.

[@susumumori2553]

You are exactly to the point I came up with too. Funny that the most basic skill is the hardest. We can't do better for all techniques without this basic skill, but this basic skill doesn't even run the engine. All we can do is to iterate over and over.... Thank you for the excellent video!

[@davidbrochu5923]

That video was awesome. Thanks. will bring back my bike to the garage!

[@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. 👍

[@luisedgaresquivelmartinez6016]

Lot's of value added! great work

[@JeffKendallWeed]

That was great! Out to the garage I go!

[@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

[@onerider808]

I can track stand (static balance) a mountain bike or BMX bike, but never considered trying it on a KLR...KLX...Harley. I’m SO onthis project. Thanks!

[@woodkraftsfwi1999]

Thanks for sharing. This is the best explanation on the topic.
