This Will Change EVERYTHING you understood about Enduro!

[@motolucci46]

This is the piece that was missing! I was always trying to watch your hands to get the timing down but there was never a great view of it. The combination of the explanation and the triple video of the bike, and both hands was eye opening for me! Thanks for the time you put into this sport and trying to help others improve their skills.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Right on! Stoked it clicked for you! It takes practice, but you’ve got it in you! Thanks for the support

[@danielminchev4173]

the new camera changed everything!

[@lauriedewey]

I’ve been watching and rewatching at 50% speed. Rich sounds hilarious at that speed, a little like Jim Carrey! But I’m starting to understand it! I’ll be practicing this on my trials bike tonight and my 2T tomorrow!

[@matteo2x7]

wow. realy good video, very helpfull. thanks!

[@bozz780]

Over the course of 2 years your videos (and a bit of practice) have helped me go from hardly being able to hit a log/small rock face, to racing A class hard enduro. What you do for this sport is great. Thank you.

[@joshstanz9943]

What a great video, I would have never imagined “collecting” throttle on the deceleration of my RPM to pop the front wheel up. Your channel is a gold mine for enduro riders. Thanks Rich 🤙🏽

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ode4492]

Grateful to have you as a mentor in this stage in my dirt bike riding. Thank you for all do in this community.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

That’s awesome of you to say! Thanks for the support!

[@sendit6011]

Clutch, front brake, throttle, hair on point

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Those are my top four things 😂

[@Matteo-xm6xo]

Funny as hell

[@RayPalmer-v9g]

Repetition is the mother of all learning. Absolutely the best teaching technique is shown here by you. Love this!!! Never let anyone say anything is over explained. The missing pieces in understanding are born once the first piece hits home. Without the first piece, no puzzle can be completed. The break down you use helps that piece be found. What you placed in my mind here, was magic I did not comprehend. Thank you for demystifying this technique for me.

[@DadLifeForDays]

The triple video view with throttle and clutch is awesome. Thank you Rich

[@whoziee]

You are right, you really found a hole in the market with this video. It's genius to have 3 cameras to show the technique properly. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

🙌🙌 stoked you enjoyed it!

[@viclau1218]

This is by far the most detailed explanation I found over youtube regarding the practical wheelie enduro riders need. Thanks so much for the amazing cam setup showing the sync between clutch, throttle & body position!!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

That’s great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@csedan510]

Those pictures in picture of the throttle and clutch are the most helpful things I have ever seen.

[@NewsMoto]

i can't believe we are learning this for free. god bless you, sir! well explained video! I only realised there is a big difference in popping the wheelie using climbing revs vs using the traction from a predictable falling rev.

[@livelymoto2039]

i am a slow learner so i appreciate the explaining! This is my greatest challenge right now when riding over obstacles

[@billc611]

I have been practicing this off and on for months now and it is so difficult to unlearn years of bad habits. But when I do get lucky and get it right, it is night and day how much better this technique is. Now if only I could do it more than 1 out of every 25-30 attempts. :) Thank you for putting this together!

[@bigjoeadvt7]

I've been waiting for this video for 30 years now. Thank you so much!!

[@pavelmeshkov5433]

Wow that’s like the best video ever, thank you so much for explaining this super important moment in such detail man!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Stoked you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@garethridesbikes]

I'm sure you are familiar with the 4 stages of learning, thing is most people who are at stage 4 (don't know how good they are at a skill) can not understand how they do things and articulate to those who are still learning. It's your thoughtful and analytic approach that makes you the guy to watch on KZbin for Hard Enduro skills videos. Keep shreddin' 🤟.

[@moleson10]

This along with your balance drills has done more for my riding skills than everything else combined. I'm still trying to master these skills but at 68 I'm the best rider I've ever been. Thanks Rich!

[@jaybayjones3725]

Dude, loving your videos! Getting back into riding after a 25 year hiatus and switching from MX to enduro. So many nuggets in your information. Some of us do this knowledge collection as you decelerate into “explaining too much”, so keep on truckin! Kudos from Cape Town, South Africa!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thank you so much, brother! Hope to get to South Africa and teach one day!

[@gernotschaaf3693]

Volgende ding wat ek ook gaan oefen @jaybayjones3725 !

[@johankrugel7965]

Another South African always watching your vids diligently👋

[@lincolnkaden7758]

That was really well explained, makes perfect sense, and I’d never heard anyone else say it.

[@1918Teufelshunde]

The slo mo with audio is awesomely helpful!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad you think so!

[@OYET-te2jn]

I subscribed to several dirt bike channels and this is by far the absolute best hands down. I've learned so much from this channel. Just watching these instructional videos and it's actually taking me to the next level as a rider and I would love to go to one of your clinics!

[@breeno59]

Every time I watch one of your explainers I can't wait to get back on the bike. Great stuff man

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Love hearing that!!!

[@alexyoung3387]

What an incredible video. Thank you for taking the time to put this out there.

[@NeilFT-f9u]

Great explanation of the sound I recognise when riding with others but never thought or knew why it might be useful to replicate.

[@martapires3683]

You're realy on a mission for hard enduro literacy - RESPECT

[@ScottDukesRealEstate]

You didn't over explain. It was spot on for people struggling with this technique. thx

[@kevinbobal5209]

This IS the HOLY GRAIL of clearing obstacles! Thanks Rich!!

[@chasebolyard1962]

This is mind blowing. I've watched several channels that do similar techniques and always wanted to see exactly what you've shown today with the throttle and clutch cams. You da man Rich, you da man.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

You’re the man! Thanks for the support!

[@NicholasJonesCreative]

Always enjoy the content Rich. Lots of knowledge and I appreciate you putting it on youtube for free!

[@jamiejohnson5645]

You are the man. That video create a generation of double blippers. Thank you millions.

[@jamesbrown8364]

So glad you figured out how to explain this Rich! Can’t wait to go play with it!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Love hearing that!

[@alanjm1234]

Thank you for explaining this. I would never have figured this out from watching or trying myself.

[@richardcooper-e3h]

Brilliant. Been riding over 45 years and learned something

[@daryljones5492]

50+ I agree!

[@jesta.drifter1249]

best break down and explain to date!!!!

[@rhinogames9856]

This was immensely helpful Your ability to break this down and explain it is phenomenal. Thank you so much

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

I appreciate that! Thanks for the support!

[@marioschristofi3145]

I am practicing this, this weekend!!! Thank you so much!!

[@nikomedina]

You’re the GOAT, best enduro content out there, I’ve learned more from you than anywhere else. Thanks for sharing!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@peterward369]

Great explanation

[@paul789]

just wanted to say loving your video's the way you explain it , also the dedication it takes to achieve it 🇦🇺

[@michaeldraster123]

As usual, unique and well explained content from Rich L. I regularly practice his drills and find myself improving quickly after only 1 month dirt bike riding experience. Much appreciated. UT.

[@JosepsGSX]

What a masterclass and what a fantastic display of the sequence in the three cameras compositing. Thanks a lot

[@erbe-robo]

Fantastic video! I really appreciate the effort you make to explain everything to us every-now-and-then warriors. You are the best!

[@vincentbeaumont2447]

you are really the best teacher ever ! After 42 years of riding, including winning races (!), I have to de-learn everything to re-learn your points for these specific obstacles, and at the beginning it was I was on command of a F-16 jet plane, I was lost ! Step by step, on a very simple obstacle, I did automatize the right procedure, and this is magic ! Thank you so much for your patience, your rigor and empathy to normal anonymous riders...

[@xlillo6175]

Outstanding explanation! I’ve been riding for more than 30 years and couldn’t get consistently with large obstacles. I’ve ridden with national A and regional champions, and no one explained this technique. Really wished I knew it many years ago when I was riding aggressively.

[@lousplumbing2042]

My next exercise 100 percent. Opened up my mind with this one. This is exactly my problem. I couldn’t put my finger on it. Only 3 out of 10-ish attempts would be clean-ish. I Kinda gave up on it. I’m going to try it next chance I get. Thanks for your extremely detailed explanation. You ability to put it into words is very impressive . I watch every video to the end and not once have I not understood anything

[@Trailsandspaces]

Just the bit of info I was missing. Thank you for all the great teaching.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

You are welcome! Thanks for the support!

[@redeye6541]

excellent work on motivating us to be better!

[@brettb614]

great video! This will be very helpful. One suggestion: Show each 3 window clip 3 times. That way we can see the clutch hand, throttle hand and full bike without rewinding a lot! Thanks for always being so unselfish with your knowledge

[@gc3937]

Thank you! New subscriber here. Been ripping across desert and open trails on a CR500 for 30 years, flying over or around anything in my way. At 50 I decided it wasn't as much fun to hold on to as it used to be, so I bought a used TE300 and am having a blast learning to slow down a bit and get more technical about it. Your videos are solid gold bro!!

[@31nerf]

I always enjoy your videos and the explanations are clear. Thanks mate!

[@RiggerbeeOffRoad]

The clutch and throttle cameras really is taking already helpful videos to another level. This is golden, thank you. Would love to see the same camera layout and slow mos for big hill climbs. But this video is going to be the key to unlock progression for a lot of people, showing exactly how it works.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Stoked you enjoyed it!!

[@jakehill9174]

This is huge for me. Thanks for the tips!

[@Kicacanalong]

I love that you over explain everything, its what sets you apart

[@pokebass1]

I actually learned this exact technique to smoothly take off from stops in my manual equipped 1973 Ford Pinto station wagon. It's super smooth and efficient to let the clutch out during engine deceleration, the roll onto the throttle to propel the car. I never thought twice to use the same kind of technique on the bike.

[@matthewroseler7451]

Never been explained to me like this before. Makes perfect sense 💡🤯. Always easier said than done but excited to put to practice on Sunday! Thanks Rich! Love ya work!

[@edokevansurya9114]

Hi, I am from Indonesia. I am very happy with your explanation. Very detailed.

[@danielniemeier2061]

These have to be some of the best riding technique videos on KZbin.

[@johnwiggins6114]

This is it! Thank you for that camera breakdown.

[@NeilLloyd-q4t]

Excellent piece of information my man. Was out playing with it today

[@marlonpaololima1533]

Fantastic content!!! A big thank you from a Brazilian rider for all your teachings!

[@jessintare4682]

I cant get better with my skills by just watching KZbin, but it sure helps a heap by giving me something structured to practice over and over. Thank you so much.

[@korneradyn]

Without any doubt one of the best tutorial vids ever. Thank you.

[@BrassStacks]

It's a lot of fun trying to take these skills to an electric moto after being off a bike for over twenty years. Your wealth of knowledge is helping more people than you know! Thank you!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thank you so much for saying that! I appreciate the support!

[@droppindeuces6981]

Great explanation on the importance of throttle chop/clutch timing. That drill is GOLD! Trigger time like that can help any rider improve (even us old farts). 'Power collection' is an interesting concept. I have always thought of overcoming obstacles in terms of inertia management, but probably never in such a consciously focused manner. Please keep the practice drills coming, they really help, and thanks for this video. CHEERS!

[@arnokonrad7464]

Rich you are the GURU of enduro teaching, I ve got clear understanding finally but it needs many Hours for Training, thanks for your Engagement😊

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Happy to help! Thank you for the support!

[@ado7e]

Thank you Rich for your uploads. Despite the fact that it seems I got you right regarding delivering and collecting the power for double blips, I came to watch this vid anyways. It’s better to know what you don’t know, than think you know already everything. So it’s always worth checking your vids :)) cheers and keep it going!

[@mtrogerman]

This is the best explanation I’ve seen by far. I love the camera shots with both hands. It really makes perfect sense. I can’t wait to put this in action and start perfecting my clutch control.

[@HansSoloYolo]

Brother you are an absolute madman on a bike, and I have always appreciated how thoroughly you explain everything. Thank you for explaining it like I'm 5 so I can actually wrap my head around everything you teach!

[@rhyne26]

Love all of your content and how you show/explain in such great detail... bravo, keep up the good work and thank you for giving us tools be be better riders.

[@motorcycleconnoisseur4936]

Such great content! I started watching your channel before I ever hit the dirt. And I think it’s helping me build technique the right way. I still suck, I can’t double blip, or even clutch up well. But I know, for sure, what I should be practicing to get there!

[@kf4435]

Absolutely without doubt the best in the business at explain, demo and prove ! Thanks Rich 👍🏻😎

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thank you for the support!

[@anoldsman]

I'll admit that I was having difficulty following your instructions of the correlation between throttle and clutch until the end but, then it was...OMG! It makes so much sense why I've been having so much trouble with my wheelie and double blip exercises. I can't wait to try this. Thanks for the video.

[@korabeats_]

This is absolutely incredible and explained perfectly! I shall be practicing this when I get home from vacation! Also, so many of your other videos about balance and clutch control (or just learning your bike better in general) applied to flat ground or simple steps has helped me teach my wife so well for her first ever dirt bike. I send her your vids, tell her to study up, and then we practice while I repeat your teachings and make sure she is doing them properly as to not form bad habits and to build her confidence on the bike. Thank you my friend!

[@paulmoulins3625]

This was a fantastic breakdown and makes complete sense to me. The missing piece of the puzzle. Can’t wait to get out and practice! Thank you your lessons are gold!

[@MotocrossHideout]

Great stuff, Rich. Definitely not over-explaining. Not intending to practice a double-blip, I occasionally do your drill at 10:12 just because it's fun and I like to see if I can get consistent traction, especially on the garage floor. Obviously not to your skill level because I don't practice double-blips very often, but this makes me want to practice it more now :)

[@rangerxairsoft8171]

Thank you so much for the in-detail teaching us these skillz!! Best channel by far!!

[@batonchik25]

Rich you are a genius man, this is a last missing PC! thanks again for the awesome breakdown I found myself practicing with my hands in the office in front of the computer :)

[@danielminchev4173]

This helped so much I was exacly stucked at this problem with the collection, have been super inconsistent but thanks to you I will now improve sooner than later. Really appreciate your channel probably the best technical related content out there!

[@johnsonsadventurequest]

I have not tried it yet, but I think you have nailed this for me…. My bike ktm 300 never sounded the same because I was throttle on and clutch not throttling down and clutch! THANKS SO MUCH

[@-TheRealChris]

Mate this is absolutely brilliant!!!! I remember when I was learning wheel lifts I would do an over exaggerated version of this (quite a big rev before i even started the preload then clutch up on the tail end of the flywheel inertia) because i found it less scary. Amazing to see a tightened up version is actually the proper way to do it! I'm going to really concentrate on that now! Thank you once again for this excellent content!!!!

[@urbexcross]

accidentally collected RPM when clutch popping over some bumps in the trail. I usually throttle and clutch same time. this Collection was totally accidental but I noticed an immediate difference in feeling. Now I'm cognizant of this and will practice purposefully. Your video helped explain what I was feeling and how it can be harnessed. thanks man!

[@axamitidynamit]

Best offroad riding technique channel out there! Hats off to you, Sir!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Wow, thanks so much!

[@elty19]

Wow.... Super duper! Have not been able to ride for awhile but as always Rich your vids making me wanna ride ASAP!!

[@luismonteiro4370]

From Portugal ! Thank you so much !

[@5tr41ghtGuy]

Intriguing video - thanks for sharing! From an energy (as in physics) standpoint, your engine spinning at a given RPM will have a specific amount of stored energy; if the clutch is released with the throttle closed, then this (and only this) specific amount of energy gets delivered to the drive wheel. As you pointed out, if instead a rider applies more throttle when releasing the clutch, then the amount of energy delivered to the drive wheel is going to include a component of throttle application. Furthermore, there is no point in summoning more energy from the engine than is required, as this energy will merely get dissipated by extraneous drive wheel slippage, or you will do a backflip ;-P

[@MotoProspector-pv6wf]

Excellent video. You make the enduro riding community better. Especially for us weekend Riders that have a little bit of time and a little bit of gas money to go out and learn something to make us better.

[@mfriebel6344]

allways a pleasure to watch your well explained vid's. Thanks for going in datail! ... next to be trained!...yesssss! regards from Germany!

[@waltersorto510]

I’m coming off a KLR650 to a Tuareg 660 with only 6 years of experience off road. I know you are teaching enduro but I’m applying your concepts to my big adventure bike riding and the results have been exponential for me. Not only in how to approach and learn my “machine” but also body positioning and power distribution. This particular instruction really ties in many of your previous lessons. I never thought I would look forward to riding in a dirt yard but your lessons make me want to practice as much as possible!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

That’s great to hear! Glad the techniques are working for you!

[@diceshark8232]

you are the best instructor. keep over explaining the proper techniques. over my riding career, i have taken classes with gary Bailey, ryan young, ray peters but none of them explain techniques in great detail. thanks

[@Jason-fn5ke]

Thanks for the explanation! Great detail!

[@charlmarais5507]

Awesome Rich, keep 'em coming

[@nikolailu]

Bro, you are the Einstein of Enduro!!!

[@alexbclarke]

So well explained! Just be patient. Thanks for this video.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thank you!

[@PWalden762]

This is such a well done video. Thank you!

[@westvalleyflyer]

This is fantastic! Thank you for over explaining. I can't wait to try it.

[@meyerstyle]

Great video Rich! Thanks for all the tips. Makes me wanna keep buying these awesome IRC tires...

[@chuckschultz3108]

Thankyou, helps to get it all dialed in.

[@kiwi-moto]

wow.. mind blown!! need to go try and work on this !

[@moopelimies]

This also explains why riders struggle to find any grip on slippy uphill but once rider falls off (and let's rpm lower) bike has enough grip to make a backflip. Same technique can be used when pushing the bike - specially big and heavy adventure bikes. I like to call it 'acting on lowering pulse' .. I like the power collection term too.

[@douglassfwilson]

Very nicely explained.
