You Should OBSESS on this Technique!

Today the IRC Tire guy does an unstuck seminar filmed last year during a clinic in Montana. This is a technique everyone should obsess on!

Interesting teaching technique "watch me ride"

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

This was 30 minutes, of a two day, eight hour per day class. We worked this technique with each rider for 2+ hours after the examples were shown.

[@toddyboy563]

Great as always. As a bloke who’s only recently taken up riding because I love enduro, your videos have been like a riding bible! Thank you!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

That’s so cool to hear! Stoked to help!!

[@SwormCycles]

Similar to the 10 part series (filmed in one day) with your boss, it would be cool to also see the students trying this stuff with you correcting mistakes as they happen and see their progression.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

You got it!!

[@OhioEnduro]

New to enduro always rode street bikes. I've only been on dirt for 7 months now and these videos have helped. To be able to go out and actually use this stuff is some of the most rewarding things I've done.

[@user-pl7fu2xj6w]

This channel must currently be the top one for every rider out there. Thank you Rich. Greetings from Greece 😁

[@anthonyrehorn-st4br]

Excellent demonstration Rich, you are hands down THE best coach at this stuff I’ve ever seen! Thank you again for your hard work and enthusiasm!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

I appreciate that! It means a lot! Thanks for the support!!

[@marcwaage1299]

The demonstration is great. To bring it down to my level, it would be great to show you instructing the students including the lead up progression of drills and how to recognize and fix problems in the maneuver. Everyone I talk to loves your stuff. Thanks! Keep it coming.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thanks so much man!! Much appreciated!

[@SwormCycles]

I agree...similar to the 10 part series (filmed in one day) it would be cool to also see the students trying this stuff with you correcting mistakes as they happen and see their progression.@@IRCTireUSAMoto

[@TS-di5zw]

It would be awesome if you could get cameras on your hands to see better what you're doing. Love these videos, they are honestly the best.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Haha! Hand cam!

[@babar69110]

@@IRCTireUSAMoto seriously, the shooting with the action cam on bars showing your clutch use was really helpful. I know it is lot of work /edit but your cam shooter or editor could edit it : one action cam showing each hand, and on same time line as the video of riding. Anyway thanks for all your dedication !

[@houjous5131]

I've gotten away free with rally bad lines because of the body position you teach. Following your guides have keeping me safe all of last year. I can say confidently, your dirtbike control suggestions carry over to ~900cc machines very well.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Wow! Great to hear!

[@levtrader4015]

This guy ... so good !

[@learningtofly6804]

Really helpful. Even seeing your attempts is helpful in giving perspective on what's needed. Cheers Rich & IRC

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RANDUMSPOV]

Thanks bro your vids are great !! Watching these and trying the techniques has greatly improved my riding!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Great to hear!

[@ogasi1798]

brilliant stuff. thanks IRC and Rich

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@chrisalmazan3556]

I really like your demonstrations, I watch you alot ,why aren't you the super Enduro king!😊

[@errless1]

Great tutorial, as usual. It’s amazing how aware you are, of exactly what you’re doing as you do it! I can hardly think back through exactly what I’ve done after I do it.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thanks so much! 🙌

[@SalSpaceKhan]

I don't know if it gets mentioned often but the audio and video editing in every one of your videos just takes them over the top man

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Wow thanks so much!

[@XJonAye]

I am trying to fix my bike, and saving for a newer bike. One way or another I can't wait to practice. Thanks rich

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Haha! Sorry man! We’ve all been there!

[@absoluteit1614]

Awesome Rich. Next level stuff, thank-you!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidrockwell9776]

Thanks Rich this was very helpful 👍

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jonnyhumphreys9133]

Can you do a video on bike set up for enduro? Faster rebound, front brake guard or no, flags vs wrap around, skid plate material, gearing, powervalve settings for smoothness, tuning, etc? Like your gear video, but for the bike.

[@HardUNduro]

Such an intimidating technique. Great to watch it broken down!

[@enduro-parts-aus]

Great video , was really hoping to watch them attack the obstacles and you correct the mistakes !

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Maybe I can make a follow up!

[@enduro-parts-aus]

@@IRCTireUSAMoto would be good 👍

[@toddoverby5538]

great instructor Love the videos

Thanks so much for the support!

[@sarahdell4042]

Can’t wait to practice with these tips!

[@bonzaralph]

You are THE MAN Mitch

[@breeno59]

man, this is a good one, Rich. Always staying ahead of the bike is such a "oh, duh" understanding I've taken away from your work ... also: Walmart tire 🤣

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Exactly! 😂 Thanks so much!!

[@andraskoleszar9759]

Wow, beautiful technique there! Do you hold yourself in place by slipping the clutch, then load the engine and release while thrusting forward?

[@ivnepe]

Great stuff Are you traveling doing clinics? Do you have a schedule for the clinics? Thanks!

[@EricCogburn]

The hard part is picking up that foot and committing. Any drills to help with that commitment?

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Drills You've Probably NEVER Tried! Enduro Progression Series EP.3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnnUnWdvmLt8qM0 👍👍

[@derekwoods8199]

JX8 or IX09 and several of those early failed attempts are suddenly successes. A few rear spin outs at the top kills the confidence in a hurry. Practicing on a less than ideal tire seems like it could help emphasize proper positioning and control, but man it’s hard to go back once you’ve had a tire grab rocks (firm or loose) and not slip at all even when you thought it shouldn’t have made it so easily.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Bro that’s literally exactly right. You would think it helps but confidence is so key. If you can’t trust your tire it makes you ride conservative

[@derekwoods8199]

Confidence is so much of the battle. Hard to implement great technique when you’re not mentally recovered from a couple misses in a row. especially for most of us non-professional mortals watching and learning from channels like yours!

[@dankuchar6821]

And God said, let there be skid plates and there was much rejoicing!

[@AdamTrew]

Thank you for the time you take to teach technique. This type of stuff is super fun to practice and learn. Listening to how terrible that bike runs off idle, not so fun.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Thank you for watching! TPI 😬

[@AdamTrew]

@@IRCTireUSAMotoyep, I’m very familiar. Wish I would have ditched TPI & TBI much sooner.

[@stevenllewellyn8906]

So annoying. Swapped the CCPS on my 22’ te300i a few times. Got the Tokyo off-road tray as well. It’s usually the crank case line clogged up at the head. I clean mine out all the time.

[@AdamTrew]

@@stevenllewellyn8906 Exactly! We do all that same stuff with our TPI’s. Unfortunately the CCP’s just don’t last very long. After switching to a carbureted bike, it’s really hard to get back on a TPI/TBI because frankly, they just feel off and lack consistency.

[@stevenllewellyn8906]

@@AdamTrew my buddies all have between the 14’-17’ carbed husky’s. They are monsters. Feels like jumping on my yz250. I love my te300i but prolly because I paid so much for it during covid and I’m used to it now 😂.

[@RichPlakas]

TIL about Walmart tires and the natural 45 degree angle of dumped dirt 😁But seriously a very informative video as always. Are you holding the front tire up just by slipping the clutch or front brake as well (before you launch)?

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Yep slipping into the front brake!

[@aaronblanco829]

Great video!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@paulburton8125]

At 10:20 of the video you spoke of "collecting my power enough". What exactly do you mean by that? Letting the clutch out faster for more a quicker stronger snap before reducing throttle for traction? Please explain. Thanks for all the videos. You have helped me and my son and daughter all become better riders.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

The collection of power is what prevents the tire from spinning on top of the obstacle. So when I load the engine with the clutch in begin the drive of my body weight forward then release the clutch, this initiates the acceleration up the obstacle. Once the forward momentum is established the quicker I can collect the power delivery to the rear tire the easier it will be for me to hold traction. If i don’t collect my power “reduce the RPM” my tire will spin and I won’t maintain forward momentum. 👍

[@paulburton8125]

Makes sense. Thank you.

[@C_R_O_M________]

​​@@IRCTireUSAMotoso "collecting the power" refers to collecting the power stored in the flywheel. Thanks for the clip.

[@NINE70ENDURO]

Great content

[@michaelirwin3790]

Very awesome to see success on a bike not set up just perfect, just a normal dudes bike. Was this a 250 or 300 TPI? Reason I ask is it sounds exactly like my 2023 gasgas 250. Thank You Great video and editing!!!!!!

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

This was the 300 👍

[@jarrodhutton8776]

The Sidi X power boots are awesome! I broke my ankle in them last summer and my ankle snapped right back into place because of them!

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I actually enjoy getting stuck and then trying to figure it out. It’s like playing chess with the rocks.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Perfect example! Hard enduro is chess in a lot of ways!

Oddly enough im sitn at the mine site watching this @ 730 am. Every pule dumped around me now is at 45deg

Haha!! 🙌🙌

[@MrArt78]

how does a shorter person practice this? I stand at a towering 5'2"s, and ride a full size Ktm 200 xcw. My balance is getting really good, and I can "pop" up on, and off the bike with ease. Please help me!!!

[@dalepellerin]

This is where the bike takes off out from under me and I end up hanging on for dear life, legs flying up in the air. :)

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

😂😂

[@coskier1969]

Great video as always. I disagree about dabbing. Dabbing is riding.

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Sure. But in training, focusing on not dabbing, increases your ability when it matters.

[@Uncleshiner590]

Who is this guy? Makes it look easy

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

Just ol Rich Larsen

[@westcoastfrisco]

Dont be hatin on my Tusk parts now 😡 😂

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

No brands were named

[@KoltFin]

Do you think less quality components (walmart tire😅) will make you a better rider because your technique has to be more precise?

[@IRCTireUSAMoto]

That’s always a tough one. It could work to an extent

[@bobjohnson1633]

Should I run this on my scrambler 1200? Lol honest question.

You're almost out of gas dude.

If at first you don’t succeed…. Try again. I can count the amount of times over fallen over on a trail.
