Thanks for the vid! First time riding rocky stuff in Belgium made me realise even more how difficult it is.. Started out with way too high tire pressure and suspension not working correctly.. End of the day, after some tweaking and getting used to the terrain, managed some fun hill climbs on the good old Husaberg 🐸
Didn’t listen to you, got a heavy bike ( RE Himalayan) even on light rocky terrain drains my energy. Well, I am 61…80% the rider hahaha 😊thanks for the video.
Could I have your opinion please? For a rider who has never ridden an enduro bike and wants to buy his first to start with, which one of these four bikes would you recommend? - KTM 150 exc - Husqvarna TE 150 - Beta 200rr - Beta 250 Xtrainer This would be for riding on trails ranging from medium technical and fairly slow to wide open and fast (usually not exceeding 70kph/45mph) and possibly some obstacles crossing. It would have to fit a fairly small rider. And it would also need to be a little bit capable of doing some riding with quad bikes (a range of about 100km/60 miles, not too physically exhausting, and the capabilities to ride the same terrain as them). Thanks for your videos
Figured you guys would be best to ask: how many wear protective gear for the family jewels? I rarely do but sometimes get a good smashing when coming upon unexpected obstacles at speed, which happens too often. So far, hasn’t been worth it to me to wear a cup every time, but I wonder how others handle this, it is never mentioned. I guess it is too obvious, and I’m just a numb nuts.
Thanks for this. I enjoyed watching and listening. I would like to say though, that if you're running inner tubes, as opposed to mousse, low tire pressure is conducive to punctures in rocky terrain. We run 15 psi here in the eastern US mountains.
Yep, definitely want to avoid punctures. We run TUbliss at around 3 or 4psi and get ridiculous amounts of grip. But we make sure we don't slam into rocks at speed though with that pressure.
I'm enjoying this so much and getting so desperate as where I live its totally forbidden to ride in nature that I'm about to pack my bags and come to see you guys. Riding since 20+ years on street but never had a real chance to get practice on loose ground. This looks so much fun... 8)
@@crosstrainingenduro Its so fun to watch, but I don't want to just watch.. I want to participate... :`( I have really fallen in love with MX since watching your videos. Are you guys from the US?
2:55 THIS! Get loose! Don't lock yourself onto the bike and get kicked around along with it, watch top trials riders doing rocky creek beds in traditional trials like the Scott or the Scottish six days, they and the bike move around very independently of each other cancelling each other out and staying on line as a result.
I rode once an easy track with like 1m steep walls on sides. At one point there was a paddle across the whole track. Suddenly my body steered the bike onto left wall and I rode over the paddle at an angle nicely without touching the water. I thought: "Where the hell did you get that?". It must be some DNA level instincts inherited from Fred Flintstone times. Is there a name for this technique?
My dear Barry. If I may now offer a small level of advice. You, my friend, simply. Cannot. Ride. Or set up a bike for that matter! My goodness gracious me. Tyre pressures? No idea. You must be running 49.5 psi in this video! Rooooookie. Even you would know that I would have told you, it should be no less than 100psi like all the good cyclists! As for whether you are riding with a mousse or a tubeliss or godforbid a dunlop standard mx…all I can say is the same I said many a year ago. Please please please do not vomit in my BT50 ! 😂😘😘

Rocky road is my favourite.
I love rocky road. So come and have another triple scoop with me.
Thanks for the vid!

We've only ridden the RR200 and did a quick review on it. We couldn't comment on the others.

In hard enduro? Never came across it, Stephen. And in our group all the crashes are at low speed and non one has taken a punch to the nads... yet!
I might add a good suspension setup sure as hell helps!

I do the same.
I run Tublis with Slime. Works great with low pressure, rocks and thorns.
Yep, definitely want to avoid punctures. We run TUbliss at around 3 or 4psi and get ridiculous amounts of grip. But we make sure we don't slam into rocks at speed though with that pressure.
Great tips as always! Enjoyed the footage as well
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for all you do!
My pleasure!
Great video as always.
Glad you enjoyed it, Tyler

Canada has it even better than us... many more legal offroad riding areas AND clubs who work with govt to keep areas open.
@@crosstrainingenduro Its so fun to watch, but I don't want to just watch..
I want to participate... :`(
I have really fallen in love with MX since watching your videos.
Are you guys from the US?
Australia
@@crosstrainingenduro Pretty far away, but why not ^^ Europe is going down the drain anyway.. so i might actually consider this as an option :D
That's a fancy pants clutch lever Barry!
The mighty Clake!

Now.....GO OUT THERE AND PRACTICE!👍
😎👍
I feel like my handlebars are flinging back and forth and the whole bike is just bouncing up and down out of control
I like the terrain your in is that New Zealand
Close. Australia.

I think we could name it the Flintstone technique!
"Water crossing. Watch the motorcycle in front of you..."
How dare you assume I am smart enough to go second?
😂
Running a fatty front helps a ton.
These clake pumps are pure shite though. Good video
Some trails are rocky due to riders not respecting the trail.
first
You forgot the most important tip, to ride on this type of terrain, you must be rich to repair the bike
😁
Nah - just dont ride like a supercross madman and your repairs will be managable ;-)
And don't forget to squeeze the bike with your legs. It not only adds some needed control but the bike loves it! 😆

Ms Bruce... as always your wisdom in these matters is much appreciated lol. How the hell are you? Up for a chat?
