One technique that I'm yet to try. I just see mental images of the bike looping out and me landing flat on my backside. Another great video Rich, super helpful!
I ride a dual sport and am learning nearly all my skills from you. I think you are the best tutor I have seen. Can you teach me skills going downhill? Especially when there is a height drop. I find myself having a hard time doing so. The fear of tipping over consumes me sometimes.
I usually just “braaaaaap” and hope for the best Haven’t had a big crash while splattering yet but I definitely expect ones coming one of these days Good video, Rich thanks 🤘
Excellent explanation Rich. Genuinely appreciate your breakdowns. I can’t “do” much of what you talk about but I clearly understand the how and why of it. Still working on static balance and cone drills.
I mastered the spatter early on for fear of doing an end -oh and ending up landing on me head whilst attempting a more challenging for me double blip..Fear is a powerful motivator. I'm old and stiff so doing a power wheelie over an obstacle and slamming into it with the back wheel is easy as cracking a beer, I don't even have to get my sorry old ass off the seat. Caveat proper shock setup, spring rate,sag and valving is imperative! Steep uphill second gear log slams are the most satisfying.Keep up the great videos R .L.
hey man love your vids!! i live in city center and was curios where you are riding. id love to go do some practice on those rocks if that location is not a secret!. keep up with the vids. since i saw your static balance video ive been practicing static balance for 30 minutes per day for that last month and its helped my riding significantly. still havent mastered it on the concrete yet but im getting there. thanks for inspiring!
A few things that helped me are: 1. As a mental visual, imagine you are trying to dig a hole when you compress the suspension then as the front wheel hits the kicker drop the clutch and "explode" out of that hole. 2. Use your body to lift. Do not make the bike do all the work. 3. Gear selection is key. Depending on the size of the obstacle, you will need to learn which gear works best with obstacle sizes. 4. Always cover the rear brake. 5. Video your attempts from the side to help see where you need improvement. 6. Watch Trials Splatter training videos from people like RYP TV
great stuff as always! can you please make a video discussing the pros, cons and limitations of an 125 or a 200? fe can it handles extreme enduro for hobby riders? cant find nothing on yt from the pro guys except some ancient 125 vids from mario roman when he was a teen. ik its not the right weapons for winning trophies but i find smaller bikes like 125 and 200 to be much more enjoyable to ride!
Is a splatter without a mousse just a rim death sentence? It looks so violent, but then I see trial riders, who often run low pressures, do it and it's fine. I run tubeless and am really concerned that I'd break a seal with the rim or make a crack I can't fix with a knot.
@@IRCTireUSAMoto Thanks for the honesty. How much of what you do would be possible on something like a CRF300L dual sport? Just trying to set my expectations. I am assuming everything would be more difficult to learn because of less power requiring more technique.
It’s definitely good to learn the tire tap first. With a bigger kicker where you can almost clear the obstacle. As the kicker gets smaller a more committed, straight up and down lift is required making it more of a splatter. Both are useful. 👍

Confidence is key for sure. Thanks for watching

Sure! Thanks for watching!
Steep hills might be terrifying but you won’t tip over just think of the weight of your bike it has all that bottom weight from the engine,
I usually just “braaaaaap” and hope for the best
Haven’t had a big crash while splattering yet but I definitely expect ones coming one of these days
Good video, Rich thanks 🤘
Get that technique right!! Thanks for watching!
closing eyes helps as well :)
It is techniques like this that make me wish I had a trials bike to practice with.
Definitely a useful tool
This is one I struggle with quite a bit. It's very hard to commit to throwing myself against a wall at speed lol
Definitely agree. Although it can also be practiced on a dirt incline to get technique before committing to a big wall! Thanks for watching!!
As usual, very well done....makes me think of watching T. Bou do sequential splatters up a triple tier wall.....takes big cahones...thanks again
His are amazing! Even on smaller obstacles it takes commitment! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Terrifying technique, I'd imagine covering the rear brake is imperative with this one. Thanks for the tips Rich!
Personally I stay on the balls of my feet. I only move to the rear if I need it.
@@IRCTireUSAMoto how about covering the rear brake, is it really nescesary?
This is one technique I don't see me doing. But the use of a kicker is most certainly something I will practice with.
In learning this one ass and back protection a must. Rich great teaching and videos you rock!
Excellent explanation Rich. Genuinely appreciate your breakdowns. I can’t “do” much of what you talk about but I clearly understand the how and why of it. Still working on static balance and cone drills.
Thank you for watching! The first steps to all these techniques are within those drills!
Another solid video! I can’t wait to get to the point of being confident enough to learn this. One step at a time. Thanks Rich!
You’re on your way!

👍Good Info Sir! You are a good instructor, hope to ride with you one day‼
Thank you for the support!
still the best teaching two thumbs up!
Great stuff! You the man Rich!

Thanks for watching! A lot of that is in Eagle mountain Utah. 👍
@@IRCTireUSAMoto
I'm guessing it's down lake mountain road some where?
Yep 👍
This is probably the most scary technique of all as if we miss the target obstacle with rear tyre we're in big trouble :)
For sure. Something I should’ve mentioned is getting used to transitioning in mid air to the rear brake if needed.
Nice tips man.
what bike are you using my guy? i like your vids . top quality

I definitely plan to!
@@IRCTireUSAMoto Rich you can borrow my Sherco 125 at Locked and Loaded if you want to😂
Splatters all around the world this weekend!! =)
I hope so!!

Do you recommend slipper clutches? Do you lose some precision with these?
To be honest I’ve never tested one or really seen one in off road specific applications. I like stock personally
@@IRCTireUSAMoto Thanks for the honesty. How much of what you do would be possible on something like a CRF300L dual sport? Just trying to set my expectations. I am assuming everything would be more difficult to learn because of less power requiring more technique.
I mean it's absolutely possible to do just about everything on that bike.
@@IRCTireUSAMoto that would be a good video idea for you….
I splattered my huevos mang.

Looks a whole lot like a tire tap

Yea ...you lost me at "splatter"
