Bit of a change of pace but I trust you guys'll enjoy it! I'm sure you can all remember your first rides (I fell off going over some pinecones on my CRF50 and cried for 10 minutes even though I wasn't hurt). The next episode of Crafting a KTM Killer will drop next Wednesday night at 8:00pm (GMT+13) and you won't want to miss it... The script got thrown out the window BIGTIME! See you then 👊
Haha awesome about time she's on the bike, look out she will be up to speed in no time, we need catch up 3 of us go for a trail ride, look forward to your reply to the 5th comment haha
Good one mate!...Just a safety note, get her to tie her hair up, if for some reason she drops the bike she could get her hair cought up in the chain and sprocket.
Get her a helmet that fits. And also let me know where and when I should drop my wife off in Nelson for your new all inclusive ladies on dirt bike boot camp. I think a month or 3 in NZ would be just the right amount of time for you to turn anybody into a pro.
Wow, she knew how the gearbox works. Honestly, that's impressive. I loved bikes LONG before I understood anything about shifting them. Thanks for posting! 🔥💪
@@ashsowman what is the story with your YZ . I wanna see more of the Panthera electric start. And do you have a promo code for them I might get one for my YZ/WR ;)
Excellent work on the part of both of you!! Great bit of film making Ash. I have liked all of your videos thus far ($1,000 bike video series was awesome!) but this one was particularly special. Despite your warning of how boring this might be (your pinned comment), you have captured the essence of what it is to ride for the first time. You helped take me back in time (Thanks!). Nicola, Such an absolute joy! Thank you for being so authentic and allowing us to experience this with you. You are truly a peach (this is a term of endearment here in the US)!! From my perspective, she's a "keeper"! Thank you both for reminding me that it doesn't take a $10k dirtbike, and another $3-4k in aftermarket modifications to find joy on two wheels, and for helping me re-live my dirt bike beginnings vicariously through Nicola. "Good on ya" both!! Keep up the good work.
Haha, ”Im in third!” So adorable ! But she really is a natural! Damn I didn’t even learn that fast when i started. Was on a 1980 rm80 though with no low end torque and i guess she learned cluth control in a car with a manual transmission
your pretty good at teaching about driving dirt bikes and im turning 15 next year so ill finally be able to get some cash to get me a 125cc ill make sure to rewatch this then
First video I've watched in a long time without skipping through any of it! Came across your channel during a random UA-cam binge session today and am glad that I did... heading over to check out your other uploads now!
They say it's 14.9 horses to one horsepower that's crazy cuz it really depends on your gear ratio. And that was one good take off for being her first time most people do not get the concept of letting the clutch out slowly as you increase the throttle slowly that was a+
This was fun to watch. Nicola's a lifer I grew up in an extended family of motorheadz. I was about 12 or 13 when my much older Hell's Angel cousin "taught" me how to ride dirt bikes in the woods of Michigan. His method - "keep up, ya little shit." I fell a lot (no help from the big galoot), I learned, but I would have learned much better with Ash as my cousin lol
this could make an awsome series, with time inbetween to account for the learning curve, could be all the way from the basics too a full blown trail ride with hill climbs and log hopping n shit and all the other confidence buildung stuff
My dad taught me how to ride when I was 10. I was wearing tennis shoes, pajama bottoms, a t shirt, and some old helmet he dug out of the attic. It was on a 2014 crf 125f. I'm 14 now riding a 2005 crf250x.
Bro, you should do audio books or podcast, your voice is perfect when you want to go to sleep. The most recent video of yours was a banger. all the best.
I agree, I remember my first time on a dirt bike, it was a small 50cc one and I did half the things wrong but I loved every second of it. Drove around for more than half the tank and still didn't want to stop. Good times :-)
I started out on a Kawasaki KD 80 at 4 years old and a pair of Adidas Shell toes and an old probably 10 year old snowmobile helmet I wish I would have had the luxury of having boots and a real helmet and some goggles that would have been real nice LOL
Yea ash sowman films awesome new vids teaching your girlfreind how too ride a dirt bike bro. she did. an. amazing. job ate learning how too ride a dirt bike
Nice I liked how you ask a question, “if you were going to get on this dirt bike..?”. Then answer kindly, “No put on your helmet first“ 😂 her :Where do I put my other foot? 😳 You: On the ground 😐
I had a girlfriend who wanted to ride a bike (street though) and wanted me to teach her. Unfortunately I have the teaching skills of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, so she never got her license and I had to ride the bike she had bought 🤣
lol i am teaching her to ride NO she said i am learning to ride . crf230 best learning girls bike ever ,e start Honda reliability she call it her Goat cause it can climb any mt like a goat
Man I’d never ever teach my girl to ride, not because she can’t, but I mean like the next thing she’ll want is to come have beers with the guys. Then before you know it you’re done. What’s the point if you don’t use it to get some time off…

This was basically a show of how lucky of a guy ash really is!
Great content
Youre so right, hes very lucky, thats a pretty cool moto x bike.
Nicola's a legend!
Have enjoyed so many of your uploads since finding your channel a week ago. Good on ya Ash
She did great. It's awesome to watch the exhilaration of learning how to ride for the first time. Fun stuff! 👍✌️

No whiskey throttle into a tree. That was a good day. Always nice to see one more dirt bike enthusiast. She did really good.
I love this please can we see the progression and maybe the first motorbike loving the the channel.
😂😂 I like that lol a bit of an expensive vibrator 😂 na she really done a great job I can’t wait to see use hitting the trails together 🤙🏼
Aye you'll be surprised at how expensive some vibrators can get 😂😂😂

How much did the girlfriend cost ya? Ill swap you a brand new Yz for her
Appreciate the offer but I've got a brand new wr mate, keep your yz and tug heh

It’d have cost you a lot less in the long run😂😂

You should make a series so we can see a beginners progression!!!
she did awesome job 🤙🤙 maybe at least a new helmet for xmas i think 👌
A series would be awesome. 2nd Episode "Nicola gets a Motorcross Bike for Christmas". Go on Ash!
Hahaha that is so cute you two should do like a motovlog when you two go riding

I started riding enduro at 13 yo on a kawasaki kx250 2002 mx bike wich was scary and thats just makes me appreciate you making her start slow

Nothing beats the feeling, whether your a seasoned pro, or a new rider. I think she’s addicted.
Haha this was so fun to Watch 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wish I had a girlfriend like her love the accent and smile
I am getting ready to teach my 14yr old son. You di great with her.🏍🤘😎

You sure you weren't putting it off and she'll want to join in on the boys weekends now? ;)
Very wholesome bro. Loved this!
did you tell her two strokes vibrate more.
Oh, gosh. Now you’re gonna have to start skydiving to get away from her!!. No, just kiddin!. Good rides to y’all!!

First dirt bike I rode was a 1996 pw80 Yamaha. And my friend who owned it just said when it won’t rev higher shift up. And learned easily from their
Yea ash sowman films awesome new vids teaching your girlfreind how too ride a dirt bike bro. she did. an. amazing. job ate learning how too ride a dirt bike
Shes a keeper. And a qt. Awesome job on the bike. ❤
If you don't teach her and teach her well, some other guy will.
This is honestly one of the most wholesome videos I've ever seen.
Nice training 👍👍👍👍👍👍 dirty bike ride safe
230 would be the best bike to learn on learnt on the same bike
A bit of a challenge but I trust you
She got only fans?? Lets see her ride
Awesome.Get her a proper helmet.
This put a smile on my face 😊
The old 250rx is back
So ensuring wish I had a gf i could teach and share motocross with
oh yo, up the 230’s, i have one myself, great bikes
I've rid a honda crf70 before and that's it I'm looking at a yz125 but don't know if I should go that kind of cc
You would probably best off getting a 230 like the one in the vid
Hell yeah!!
her laugh is super cute.. ;-) sadly she will now be taking over your life and no more 'boys weekends" for you,
Love the CRF230f, Have had mine since 2015. Absolutely bloody bulletproof.
