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!

[@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.

[@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

[@URBANHERBALIST1]

Superb explanation. Your lessons are helping me loads. I am 50 and just started riding again after 30 years of not being on a bike.

[@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!

[@DadLifeForDays]

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

[@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' 🤟.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@bigjoeadvt7]

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

[@oldenduroclowns4662]

Rich this is another great well explained vid, im 58 & started enduro 3 years ago, I've learned so much from you, I want to master this double blip & will practice all winter now on these 2 things, our weather is shit here in Ireland but I can practice the clutch pops on the concrete, great chanel keep at it

[@martapires3683]

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

[@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!

[@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 :)

[@jamiejohnson5645]

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

[@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!

[@livelymoto2039]

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

[@NickJonesFilms]

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

[@ScottDukesRealEstate]

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

[@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!!!

[@kevinbobal5209]

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

[@jesta.drifter1249]

best break down and explain to date!!!!

[@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.

[@alexyoung3387]

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

[@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...

[@SurRonAlot]

Man.. great video! As I commented before.. I want to see these things done on a Honda XR150L.. let's go! lol 😂

[@danielniemeier2061]

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

[@edokevansurya9114]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@mfriebel6344]

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

[@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!

[@1918Teufelshunde]

The slo mo with audio is awesomely helpful!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad you think so!

[@marioschristofi3145]

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

[@nenadjosic8055]

💥Great one👌 All the best😎🤟 from Belgrade -Serbia

[@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

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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!

[@JosepsGSX]

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

[@elty19]

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

[@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 :)

[@NeilLloyd-q4t]

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

[@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!!

[@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!

[@Trailsandspaces]

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

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

You are welcome! Thanks for the support!

[@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!

[@31nerf]

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

[@nikolailu]

Bro, you are the Einstein of Enduro!!!

[@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!

[@nigeljacklin4031]

An absolute epiphany! Bloody brilliant explanation! Thanks Rich👍🏼👍🏼😊

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@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.

[@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!

[@richardcooper-e3h]

Brilliant. Been riding over 45 years and learned something

[@daryljones5492]

50+ I agree!

[@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!

[@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.

[@axamitidynamit]

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

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Wow, thanks so much!

[@kf4435]

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

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thank you for the support!

[@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.

[@johnwiggins6114]

This is it! Thank you for that camera breakdown.

[@jennakvasnovsky7463]

Great video again, thank you for the time and your knowledge, can you PLEASE break it down even more for future video, thanks so much.

[@joncov]

Thanks a lot as without your explanation I would have never discovered this technique. Beside the consistency it has 2 more advantages: 1. It is max preemptive: gives the most time for the second blip and movements 2. It improves safety as it ends with closed throttle and prevents whiskey throttle

[@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

[@peterward369]

Great explanation

[@marlonpaololima1533]

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

[@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.

[@korneradyn]

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

[@MP-wc2wh]

You do not over explain in my opinion…. Your training information is fantastic and I wish your channel had been around when I was a newer rider. Still, always look forward to training with your information. Great channel. Keep it up.

[@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!

[@paul789]

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

[@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!

[@Kicacanalong]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@rangerxairsoft8171]

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

[@juniormissle]

Doggone it Rich, you had me way back at 'static balance.' I've got sooo far to go... I'll never make it. But I'll keep trying nonetheless. It's fun. Meanwhile thanks for sharing your a-MAY-zing abilities through your vids. I'm a loyal subscriber and like every IRC Tire Guy vid I see. You must practice more than everybody else put together. Inspiring. Thank you👍

[@cokanyildirim]

Waowww how precise explanation is this ? Excellent man , top notch 👏👏

[@TeamDNFracing]

I am now retired and living in Thailand. The Thai's like to put obstacle courses in their Thai Enduros. I try to practice them in my Orchard, but still have problems when I'm doing it in the enduro. After watching your video, I'll be doing the throttle off, clutch lever out now till I get that front tire consistency you show. Got 5 days till the next enduro.... Wish me luck...

[@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

[@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!

[@lspats3]

WOW! The quality of this video has far exceeded all other of your videos! This gets me excited to try the technique. And I really loved how much you sounded like you were talking with us instead of at us. Also, why is it that no one ever talks about setting a suspension baseline for training, such as a base factory setting like sport, or race, or even having everything set at 0 clicks?

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@jakehill9174]

This is huge for me. Thanks for the tips!

[@meyerstyle]

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

[@luismonteiro4370]

From Portugal ! Thank you 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!!!!
