These Enduro Tips could make ALL the Difference! 2024 TKO PRO Vs JOE

[@steve6548]

Thanks Rich! I have to add, paddling is exhausting. I am a C rider, and have had races where I felt pretty good, then came up on a section where I paddled, then in no time felt wore out. Learning to keep my feet on the pegs!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Love gearing that!! Thanks for the support!!

[@PennsylvaniaEnduroRiding]

love these comparisons using video examples, keep them coming! As my riding partner always tells me "Feet on the PEGS!!!"

[@tones8689]

Fear is often the root cause of dabbing-it’s bloody scary to be up on the pegs on a steep rocky hill. Would love to see some content on conquering fear and developing confidence. There’s definitely also a very fine line between bravery and stupidity when pushing the limits and trying to progress.

[@andybucher452]

Thanks for this great video again Rich. Still the best without a doubt. Really appreciate it. Greetings from England and I'm still not practicing enough ;{

[@carlosmurgelcddr.1418]

Always a fantastic video! Easy to say difficult to do kkkkk Hard for old dogs to learn new tricks. Keep trying and improving thanks to videos like this.

[@AdamCoffey828]

Great getting to meet you there Rich! Much respect for all the riders hittin these courses, it didn’t look easy. Next season I’m definitely jumping on the starting line

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Great meeting you! Would love to see you on the line!

[@bobhalliburton682]

Buddy! Glad to have you out to Tennessee! Please remember your promise to come back and hold a class!!

[@DmitriyAdv]

Good to see you there for a second Rich, great video! There was so much traction there this weekend that I felt like I could take some real hero lines on the rocks as long as I just kept at least one foot on the pegs. Fitness/hydration/nutrition is huge as well. This race ended up being basically a sprint, so even managing your energy during it was super important. This section was probably 2/3 into the course, and if I recall correctly, you come into it after something that keeps your heart rate up. With it being the second race, it was the middle of the day, so also nice and toasty. I saw and heard of quite a few people getting sick from the heat. Anyway, I was happy to make it through both sides with no issues and actually kind of enjoyed that section.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Great job out there Dimitriy! Good to see you, brother!!

[@TheElectrovideo]

Some really good observations here. Thank you.

[@BrayganMassey]

I did my first gold ride this weekend and was sick these tips really helped 💪💪

[@edprince2498]

That was fun to watch! The pros make it look easy.

[@voltedmoto]

Was awesome to meet you in person Rich! I was the guy squeeezing the ve33 on a Surron light bee. Hope you enjoyed TKO!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Great meeting you!! TKO is always a blast!

[@soilsmanadv6673]

Dab to the High side is a great concept I had never thought of.

[@roughready7491]

Rich, these videos and your demeanor is one of the reasons I’ll always be an IRC guy. Of course it’s always nice they have excellent tires (and now with these great new sizes!!!!)

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thanks brotha!!!

[@FamousLive11]

Great Job, Rich - looking forward to the Tire Release. Since I am focusing on slow technical Riding 90 % of my Training, I can see a steady Progress on Balance Skills and easier riding over rocky uphill Sections. Thanks again for all of your hard work to teach also an old dog with 60 like me❤

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thanks for your continued support!!

[@mutstang66]

I used to ride a little when I was a kid started riding off road again earlier this year & as I watch your videos everything Rich says you should do sounds like common sense to me. Some of the mistakes ppl make I get but. The weighting the pegs & low r.p.ms instead of full throttle and counter weighting the machine all makes sense to me. Just wish I had more time to practice what Rich teaches if i did i would probablybe a pretty good rider. . Basically great video.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Bike time is key!

[@icemuppet361]

great video, thank you so much for all this information. you rock

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

You are so welcome!

[@brandonwl]

Are the pros hanging on to the handlebars to keep their weight back over rocks? Or are they still compensating for the uphill and barely straining their arms? I've struggled with this on rocky uphills

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Definitely physical fitness is a huge piece of this. But in this situation, we do see a knee position from the majority of top riders on the machine. This allows them to stay in front of the acceleration forces. Reducing strain on their arms.

[@Dirtdogging]

Thanks mate appreciate your advice 👍 👊

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

No problem 🙌

[@joeybuckingham7006]

My man, A 140 in a JX8 is going to be epic!

Thanks 511. Keep em comin. Hows Rome?

[@Haydusagi]

Thank You Rich! I am 15H rider and have a question. I was last time riding my Husky TE150i and went up on section just like this with my 90Kg. (198lbs) If you want to imagine, just like the guy here 3:57 i would say it was steaper but i made it 2x up this hill and didn’t failed but i would like to understand, why is it “bad” ? The pro-s are using 300 2-stroke -s and went up just like this maybe in 3rd gear but if a 150 would go in 3rd i think i would have issues with my weight. Thank you! Love your vids!!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thank you for the support! We need to get there!

[@Trailfocused]

Looks like mountain biking but uphill. I wonder why so many mountain bikers are great moto riders. 🤔

[@danielbunimovich6570]

Great video Rich! Question, how do i get my endurance up for longer climbs? I've figured out to stay ahead of the power, but still get tired at the top of a climb or a hard sections. Any suggestions for this? Thanks!

[@Trailfocused]

Breathe, don’t forget. Squeeze the bike with your legs and chime over the bars as much as possible. Breathe!!!

[@jay_motocombat]

It's unbelievable how much easier it is to ride a 350xcf up that over a 300xc. But obviously you would pay for it in the gnar.

[@Jlow67WV]

Awesome info Rich! What is the overall carcass thickness of the new tires? My rowdy gang and I prefer the IBEX due to its tough carcass and ability to hold up well with tubliss. Not all of us want/need bibs.....

[@rehepeks]

I had ibex on my fe350 and it was great. Now running dunlop en91ex on 300exc and i think i like it even more. Both with tubliss. Worth trying.

[@Jlow67WV]

​@rehepeks I got a flat with that tire on my 4th ride. Good traction, but the tire wasn't as tough as the Ibex.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

The JX8 has three ply carcass. The Ve33s has an additional breaker ply for puncture resistance. 👍

@@IRCTireUSAMoto it’s basically my dream to ride for ktm or husqvarna or any of the big guys

[@PennsylvaniaDualSport]

I’m almost 50. I sit a lot to conserve energy. I’m sure a lot of it is physical fitness and overall I don’t think my posture is great either as I think the way I stand uses too much strength and tires me out as well. I’m just a middle aged gumby with a hobby though not looking to podium anytime soon lol. Big VE33S fan though 👍

Man I know this is true but when ur gassed it’s hard to make your body do what your brain knows it should do. Sometimes I just have to paddle in order to keep going. New rider though. Maybe it will get better

[@Sg_savegaza]

[@Rick40years]

Also I don't think the amateurs are picking the best line. The pro seemed to be riding the high side.

[@babar69110]

nothing about the riding technique, it is your expertise. But our balance sensors, the proprioceptors are too located in ankles and KNEES . the moment you seat, you are loosing a lot of informations about balance and corrections needed... You show us the static balance exercices; doing it sitting, and even using legs as counterweights like funambule guys, still makes it rather impossible because there are zero proprioceptors in our bum. You still have internal ears vestibular system but it is at the highest point of body and late on infos to correct posture. keep your great work; best to you !!
