I Am Weird - Solo Practice Session

[@80sDweeb]

This is why you're better than us old timers, we don't like being bad at something, while you embrace it until you *are* good.

[@Kickstart500]

Stay weird then! I will be 60 this summer.. I’ve been riding since I was 6. And this old man learns something from your videos more often than not! Great job!

[@gearhigher2027]

[@Jeremybaland]

This is great to see that things don't always go picture perfect. I started watching Meg because she is a good example for those of us that are not over 6ft tall, yet she can Braap with the best of them.

[@PatFarrellKTM]

This was fun to watch. Your strength, both physical and mental, is amazing.

[@mikecollins8241]

I love it, weird is best ;) Keep putting your link in video descriptions, I know I saw this in an older video but wasn't sure it was still valid, glad it is! Rocky Mnt ATV/ MC is a GREAT source for parts and gear for anyone who doesn't already know about them!

[@craigsteinman9807]

The riding was PRETTY...pretty damn awesome..wet logs OMG..so tuff.

[@Cross-Country-Biker]

Solo Practicing - 👌 for self upskilling and not expecting a buddy to push push/pull. Also reinforces the inner drive like a soldier mentality. Keep it up...our kind of weird 🤙

[@philgoogle1535]

Go girl. I'm lovin your work👍

[@tonyhanson9235]

Going over the downed logs are easy the landing side is the harder part. Love your vids Meg

[@eduardobagol7478]

I am not judging you, I am appreciating you

[@daddister7471]

Thanks for sharing your training, Megs! This is the kind of stuff I love to ride too.

[@verdonrocksphotography3510]

Colorado never disappoint , for sure the fines riding you guys, cheers V!

[@paulmcauliffe8857]

My judgement = Amazing! Very gutsy riding, Megs!

[@christashaj2770]

Greetings!!! Fellow okanagan rider here.. just got back into the dirt scene after a "few" years away from it... sure missed it and apreciate your videos.!!! Relearning alot and a great amount of things i am improving on thanx to your vlogs. Ty. I have a 2022 beta 390rrs keep up the great vids!!!

[@funefulla1]

I ride a cruiser, I have two Honda shadows, the newer a phantom. I've recently gotten my 7&9 year old daughters 50 cc pit bikes and now have decided I have to ride one myself if I'm going to teach them. So, here I am, turning 40 this year and learning to ride a dirt bike this year with my girls. I love challenges and i love watching your videos because you also love challenges and you have a very positive outlook. Thank you

[@r.a.capell42]

Don't you dislike having to wait up for all of us guys who fall back behind you because your such a better rider then most of them? LOL Awesome video. Mad Mad Mad RESPECT FOR YOU!!!!! Glad you didn't get hurt out there all alone.....

[@hotmud701]

something like that of the few, the most persistent enduro girl 💪🙂

[@johncopetti1253]

Great riding in challenging conditions. Go girl... Enjoy

[@johnmichael82868]

Great Job Megs for not just showing the glam side of things but the training side. I believe the reason I can't do something well on my bike is because I haven't practiced it enough! Thanks for letting me know your a RMATV partner. I will use your link.

[@azdirtbikes5359]

Good stuff! Inspiring for short people like me!

[@dennisfant2620]

I know what you mean about not being nermal! I'm 56 and those big logs still intimidates me. But me and my new 2022 X-trainer have been setting in the living room watching these awesome videos! The XT is picking up great tips from you.

[@brandonr2827]

I watch your videos with much focus on how you keep the bike balanced despite the short inseam and being thrown around everywhere...you have figured out a unique style and technique that works super sick! yeet!

[@philipsmith6152]

Great skills girl, the stalling is just the idle speed, do the idle screw mod and it wont stall as much, Slavens has a good video on it 😊

[@50mustard]

I AM judging you Megs. I judge that you're a better rider than I'll ever be. Lol

[@mxoudi]

Aren't we all a little crazy? 🤪 Nice riding!! You are an amazing enduro rider and awesome teacher 💯

[@megs_braap]

I think anyone with a passion for dirt biking is a bit crazy for sure haha! Thank you fo the kind words! :D

[@MALVSMACHINE]

Thanks Meg, I really enjoyed that!

[@assisevero]

You've a awesome technique! After a bit of practice everything will became esier! You have the power! Keep at it! Hug from Brazil!

[@davidrockwell9776]

It’s nice to see you putting in the work. Keep up the great content 👍

[@anansiackhasone3428]

I love your approach on these obstacles

[@patrickholmes001]

I had the opportunity to try a pivot turn log crossing last weekend and the tips from your videos came in very helpful. Its good to see how the "pro's" train - it helps to build the muscle memory when you come across these things on the trail.

[@kennethelenbaas1874]

I love practicing on logs. I like jumping them and working on pivot turns on then and do 180’s to get comfortable with it

[@RacerRed]

Looks like fun! Here in Idaho we have the best logs 😁

[@garthhowe297]

Judging you? Oh yes I am... Judging that your motivation and talent is exceptional!

[@megs_braap]

Thanks Garth! Much appreciated!

[@nuchbutter]

Humbled and enthralled watching your skills. Thanks for inspiring me to take my riding to another level!

[@richardhartman5995]

Absolutely awesome!!!!

[@stuhughes4048]

Very well explained.... Realistic, and inspiring. Out riding in the woods in Wales tomorrow, might get the chance to try some of those moves. Keep the Vlogs coming 👌

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Thanks for your inspiration. Gotta find such a place in densely populated Bavaria and do some sessions. Günter from Nürnberg/Germany

[@easy4steve]

good onya Meggs you can see you struggle a bit with the new bike but thats all the fun , for me im 63 , im learning all about a ktm 390 adventure , which when im back on my ktm 250 exc 2 banger its so light and easy to ride . life is a challenge , keep up the great work . cheers Steve/Australia

[@Ironsights85]

practicing log hops is great fun!

[@thatdudeinorange2297]

Hoping you will continue learning us and yourself for a long time! And wish every episode you make would each inspire two more women to try this motorsport thats sort of horseriding but on a far more predictable tool ☺

[@gpsicu812]

Really appreciate your videos

[@bobpetrrs7849]

Thanks for your time mags I've been watching you for years and recently my daughter started riding dirt bikes and she's 27 and she took on to it pretty good and we have a good time together I send her your videos all the time after I study them and I love what you do and I love your personality be good

[@LuckyNikitaBoba]

You are so much a badass in a good way! I hope you visit California.

[@playdirtusa]

Great demos! Your humility is 2nd to none 👌🏻. GL dialing in the new gaser💪🏻🔥

[@Jannie303]

That looks like fun!

[@FamousLive11]

Thanks for the inspiration

[@KarmaWolf63]

I was gonna do some trail riding and I was unloading the bike and I of course Tripped over a log and fell on my face. Needless to say it was a rough day. Great video the new bike looks amazing and great tips!

[@caldeirone]

Megsss! This is awesome and inspirational! Thanks for these sort of videos! Take care and keep inspiring us!

[@kbrz8219]

Cheers Megs! Long time fan. This video popped up just in time to inspire me to get back onto the trails for some fun this season. Keep up the great content!

[@willmcgregor7184]

There’s only 1 Megs 😜. Come baaaack to Canukistan West (Ab or BC) & do a clinic 🙏.

[@KTM-therapy]

Can't wait to you see in Sergeant, CO!

[@megs_braap]

I’m looking forward to it!!

[@louisdoucet1498]

[@MountainStorz]

I do the same thing on the small property that I have here in NC 🤙

[@miketursky1410]

The bike definitely sounds a little soft on the bottom. Riding is really good.

[@ianferrier235]

Good kinda weird 😁stay weird meg

[@chrisroddy10]

Impressive

[@johnanderson7988]

you need to meet my son, lol. Awesome stuff!

[@bcaron3535]

I have not watched the whole thing yet, so maybe you already figured this out… On 2 large logs close together, do not stop in between. Once up on the first log, hesitate or get very slow with your rear tire on top of the first log, then drive down the back side while gathering just enough throttle to get up the second log as you drop the bike into the “hole” between the logs and compress the suspension (both). Without stopping, continue up and over the second log as you normally would using the limited revs you have now built and the stored energy in your suspension from compressing after coming over the first log - don’t stop. Easy!!

[@claudioteixeira5917]

Mega vídeo,hard work! 👏✊🏼💪 a flywheel weight resolve the problem of stolen. do you do it in first or second gear?

[@andrewturner5710]

Would some flywheel weights help with the stalling? Greetings from the UK, keep up the good work and keep on trucking!

[@scottjackson163]

No Gong Show. Just fun and practice. Thanks for sharing!

[@DMC-179]

Thank you for your content Ms. Braap! ;) Very inspiring to get myself on my bike and train on some obstacles. I‘ve got questions :) first gear over the logs? Do you ride the standard 14/50 or changed to 13/50 to get earlier in the second gear?

[@aerodynamicbrraap4930]

Lol ur a smurf and so am I love you

[@jedski0717]

I'm not sure if it's just your nature or that you're trying to be respectful to the broad audience on KZbin but I think you're a little too apologetic here Megs, this is exactly the type of training most of us should do once we're competent and safe to ride on our own, I don't think there's anything weird about doing this at all and I can definitely say that I've always gotten more meaningful practice in on my solo rides than while out with the group (we're all usually too busy messing about to do any real practice in the group anyway lol). Awesome video as always 👍

[@nothinyaseehere9449]

Hey mate don’t worry what others think, there not you. I have people tell me all the time I can’t do stuff after loosing both legs in a work accident. There’s nothing I can’t do, with or without my prosthetic legs. I was electrocuted by 19,000 volts 3 times kver 11 seconds four years ago, I was 30. This year I’m racing in the finke desert race on a wr450f I’m building that does 180klmh. Henry ford said, If you think you can, Or think you can’t, Your right.

[@brianpearson5215]

Does that bike have a wide ratio trans like the te ?

[@RUSTY-A-L]

Slip sliding away, slip sliding away...

[@jared31337]

Great video Megs, seeing a super human like you struggle helps make it a bit more real for us mortals and it highlights how much practice really needs to go into riding well. I live on Vancouver Island where it has been raining for 748 days straight, every log is wet and slimey and the rocks are covered in algae, traction is a myth we've only heard about or seen in Kyle's videos on the dirthbike channel. If you ever want a practice area, look no further, this place will either crush your dirt biking soul or help you develop god level skills.

[@markknutson8728]

You do just fine, better than most, but the bike is running crappy just like mine is, I hope my dealer can figure it out or its gone!

[@SmokinZen]

so when you compress the front end are you using the front brake?

[@gpaull2]

Guess I’m weird too 😜

[@billypulsipher7313]

Try adjusting your high speed on the rear shock. It seems a bit lethargic.

[@dring83]

Hey megs I am a fan!! i noticed you gave some classes in Mi. what is the best way to get notice of the next time you are going to be teaching in Mi.?

[@dring83]

do you get your bike lowered? suspension wise? 50mm?

hmm. one persons weird is another persons unique. Someone has to sponsor you for the Baja 1000 Ironman Motorcycle. Honest, saw your work in the dunes (the one where you roosted the camera at the end) and someone is missing one hell of a chance of making history by sponsoring you. Honest. Nothing would be as cool as seeing you follow the formula of Into The Dust 4, where you ride all the Baja events, the San Felipe 250, the Baja 400 and the Baja 500, and then the cherry 1000. I guess you have to be part of SCORE, whatever that is, but I know it requires money your don't have. So, everyone, Is Meg a future Baja 1000 Ironman? I think so.

[@aerodynamicbrraap4930]

@megsbraap can we get a video of all the times when you can't be serious :) please

[@BaldSprocket]

Nope, not crazy…well by my standards, and my son. That is the riding we enjoy…”oh look a game trail, let go that way!” I find that far more enjoyable then a fast trail.

[@gt7500]
