HE SCREWED UP! Trying to Hang with Enduro Bikes

The WarPig and I excitedly hit the road at 4am this misty Saturday morning, to cover the wet 400kms down to Northcliffe in the lower south west, for our 8am meet-up with the Crew and two days of dirt bike riding heaven.
Little did we know what the weekend had in store for us...

Massive thanks to Wayne for putting this ride together and inviting us along, it's not small feat hunting out all this trail, organising fuel, food and even accommodation, leading the ride and managing to get it all to run smoothly. I feel honoured to be invited. Cheers Wayne.

[@TrustyZ900]

It's not easy wrestling a bike that outweighs everything by 100 lbs. Amazing video. Should be on network television, so millions could enjoy. These boys have a new found respect for the big DR.

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

Thanks Frank! The young guys that had not yet met the Warpig were freaking out at the first stop 😀

[@mattnorman7744]

Wow! You are an epic rider. I have recently purchased a cogent suspension to try and keep up with my buddies on thier expensive 450 and 690 bikes. We don't ride quite that crazy though. If you keep pumping out good video your channel should grow fast!

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

Check out our "listen with your feet" video. If you can get your head around those tips, it will do even more for your riding than the Cogent kit. Thanks for the support!

[@justinwhite7863]

Love seeing the warping hang with proper dirt bikes, you were outpacing them quite a bit too. Made me want to get out and ride. Did you have to trailer it back home or did you limp home on that clutch?

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

Juddy had spare spot on the trailer so jumped in with him. Pretty stoked to dodge the cold rainy evening ride home 🌧

[@hannanbenyosef4899]

Dammmm, you make me proud riding a DR!

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

Awesome Hannan! 😀

[@tvh300]

Great video, thanks for sharing! Did you have a friction material in your oil, or was it just over heated?

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

Most the fibres had crumbled off and the face plate was badly scored so yeh it was a mess

[@tvh300]

Ya that sucks, I did the exact same thing to mine this summer climbing a long steep trail. Worst part was clutches were like hens teeth at the time, so I lost a month of riding waiting for parts!

[@ManBikeSwag]

Epic!

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

So. Much. Epic

[@dingalingmatt]

When you're riding like this, do you lead with the more experienced person in front to set the pace, or do you put them in the back? I'm a slow rider, and just learning dirt, so I'm wondering how riding with others works. Thanks! 🙂

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

This particular ride works on what we call a corner man system. Which is what is getting talked about in the first couple group clips. So one front guide, a rear sweep rider, and the rest of the group swaps around. Best thing to do is try find beginner friendly rides or those with similar experience.

[@craighartley2733]

If U r just learning to ride dirt U Wana sit behind the fastest rider U can keep up with, watch the line they ride n brake when they brake, U won't ever get fast riding behind slow riders

[@dingalingmatt]

@@craighartley2733 thanks for the tip!!

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

@@craighartley2733 maybe not when you're First starting out. You're gonna want to have some control and idea of technique and terrain before that approach is any good to ya. But yeh once you on top of it, your suggestion is a great way to get quicker and see what's possible

[@BadgerMcblasty]

Crazy. Did you figure out what the knocking sound on ya bike was that you were talking about earlier in the vid?

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

Yeh. My imagination. The exhaust and tool tube was a touch loose because I was rushed swapping my parts off the other DR to make this ride... but the sound was likely a stick jammed in the bike somewhere.

What an awesome looking ride man, you definitely can throw that pig around like a dirtbike. Interested to know how you managed to keep riding without the clutch? Was it just thrashing through the gears?

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

Between the perch and cable adjustment, had just enough adjustment to nurse it home. But I do have a video about how to ride with a broken clutch cable/lever

I think we will get away with it. Gave her a quick spray down when we got back to the hotel, then a proper wash and a CRC bath once home. It's not the first time I've drowned a DR in salt water and that one got out alright.
