  • Breaking down why it's so important to rev up the bike and ride on the clutch as you ascend muddy hills with limited traction.

    ********************
    Outline
    Why this technique is important
    Drills to work on - flat land
    Throttle percents and consistenty
    Body positioning
    Knees dip forward
    Toes down
    Balls on tank
    Timing of clutch release for traction
    Smooth Clutch, not pop
    Building higher RPM to accelerate faster, 1/3 then half, then 2/3
    Practice in gears 1-4
    Controlling wheel lift with feathering clutch
    Taking it back to hills
    Start smaller hill - less steep, good body position
    Steeper hills and less run up
    Start just getting up, long run up
    Try from static, move closer to base of hill
    Try with tight turn before
    Try right after a rain in muddy conditions
    Practice how to fall/lean bike to side

    Again well done! You might consider teaching at TTC. That recommendation from a 40 year trials veteran. You have the knack.

      @@TrialsProgression only that this is how the top riders get up the big stuff. Takes a bit to master the technique but once you own it a new class of riding becomes available to you. Doesn't matter what bike, 2 or 4 stroke, engine size, it's the clutch slip and modulation that makes it work. Ryan Young had our school ride in circles on the flat and rev the engine all while slipping the clutch and maintaining constant speed. That was a good way to develop the concept in a non threatening situation.

      @@jodybliss5725 that's a great drill 😉 might have to borrow that one from his playbook. I learned a TON from his class. You are right, all the pros are revving that engine way up before hills and obstacles

    Thanks. Would leaning over the handlebars work? Squatting is kind of limited. Leaning does not seem so.

    • @TrialsProgression
      @TrialsProgression  2 місяці тому

      Yikes, well leaning over bars is not recommended. Body position and traction are linked, but I understand health and physical limitations. Maybe just stay neutral on the bike and hopefully you don't have to go up anything too steep. If it's too steep, you could loop out if you can't dip down into the gas tank area.

    Thanks - will practice on my small Dirtbike. Please let me know which App do you use for counting your Training Section (e.g. 10 x Wheelie, 20 x Front Hopps, etc.) - many thanks in advance❤

      If you are referencing the time tracking app that I have screenshot in other videos it is called simple time tracker for Android.

    Thanks for sharing. Think you could talk the voice overs slower and maybe some pauses between points? Kind of hard to keep up and no time to like internally process the info
