Darn good thing dogs dont ride dirtbikes, we would be in trouble. My border collie Lola rides a skateboard half a block. Lil shit just loves it. She will also get on the dirtbike and atv and snowmobiles for a ride.
By far this is better advice to riders than anything else out there. I hit the gym as soon as I started puking my guts out on the side of the mountain when I first started riding 2.5 years ago. The combination of that and riding has helped me ride way better than I otherwise would have.
Really like the videos, subscribed after the first one, i can already feel my skill improving and my friends see it too, now i'm the one giving them tips lol. Would love to see a bike setup video like suspension and stuff.
I wish we had the internet and people like you when I started riding back in the early 80's. Such a wealth of knowledge. Keep up the good work man. I'd love to come out and do one of your schools one day.
Good stuff. I'm a novice/intermediate rider, so I can't give advice on riding per se. However, I made a video on this very topic because I believe that no matter what your skill level is, you are far better off having a good cardio and resistance training routine that translates into your riding. Riding and practice will always be 80-90% (maybe more) of your goals. But that little bit of extra effort off the bike really does count. I strongly advocate fitness for all dirt bikers.
I finally found a technical trail yesterday. #1 The effort I put into the drills from your videos was noticeable countless times, probably hundreds. #2 I couldn't believe how physically demanding it was. Far, far different than regular trail riding. I'll arrive prepared next time for the huge exertion required.
I totally agree with you about hard intervall training in the gym. But for me the best training beside biketime is mountain biking, best on steep, short hills where you get intervalls naturally because of the terrain. Also good for your balance. Greets
Dude I bet you get a workout carrying those big balls around. Love your vids. Thanks for all the lessons. Ps. Whats the equivalent to a Shinko 505 in an IRC ?
To boring on a stationary bike. I get out on the bicycle (road or mountain). If the weather is to bad for bicycling I'll get in a 30 to 60 minute walk on pavement and/or dirt. I was surprised how walking helped with riding. Also, swimming helps. You can decide how many laps you want to do in a certain amount of time. You know you are building stamina when you find yourself swimming further in the same or less amount of time. Also, learning different swimming strokes works different muscles.
You got that right. Turns out getting off the couch and attempting tough like rorr was a bad call.....lol just so much had gone wrong this year between the time registration opened and the event.... I am sure alot of others were in the same boat. Fortunate to have had the event at all. Wish you could have made it. Colton unfortunately dehydrated out is the rumor . Webb cruised and some young guys scored high. Out of 60 in the main, only 11 did the 2 full laps. Would have been cool to cheer for you on the wrong side of heaven section.
As usual, wonderful video. I have to admit, one of my own main issues is hand fatigue. I cycle and I do a rower, which I'm sure helps...but last weekend when I got out, it was my hands that prevented me from standing more than i should have. I just couldn't hold onto the bike. Perhaps closing in on 62 has something to do with it. Perhaps that only being my second ride since mid-July due to my Cal. green sticker bike dropping a valve and my needing to wait until red sticker to ride my 2-stroke really 'untrained' my hand muscles. In any case, any suggestions on hand strengthening exercises?
What do you think is the best way to avoid that, start of the race chaos/max out that can lead to arm pump or fatigue in the first 15 minutes? I am conscious of it but the froth at the beginning of the race is hard to avoid. Thanks
Thanks for the great videos! Do you do training classes? You should do one for old guys like me ...there's a huge market, but few who will devote time to it.
These videos would be a lot more entertaining, if you would serenade us with one of your guitars. You know, like Justin Hill does...:) My other sport is mtb and cyclocross racing. I never have to worry about not being in cardio shape, but strength is another issue.
@@IRCTireUSAMoto thank you i was having trouble deciding as irc seem to have different sizing compared to other brands . why do you run such a thin tire , compared to 120/130/140s ?
@@IRCTireUSAMoto It would great to get your opinion on flexibility training. Flexibility training can improve your core and balance. I would like to know how the time spent there translates to improvements on the bike. What if you only had 1, 1.5, or 2 hours a day for any kind of training what would be the recommended routine. Thanks
Never too old to learn.. Still riding at 56.. Thanks Rich!.. Greetings from Africa!..
Great advice, i plan on getting started right after i finish this big bowl of ice cream:) Keep the vids coming
great coordination by the dog! jumping to the log and keeping eyes forward on that downhill!
His double blips are dialed!!

Your dog does a pretty good double blip too!
Great advice. I combine weights and cardio and agree with you that seat time is best. I'm 75.
Dang I hope I can ride at 75!! Great to hear man!!

Welcome aboard! That's awesome to hear!! Please share them!!
It’s also kind of a safety issue. I find when I get all gassed out I react slow, make mistakes, bounce off of things and it starts to spiral.
More great content. Many thanks to you and IRC
Our pleasure!
Yes tec is everything I've been riding 40 years Australia I'm a pretty handy rider but you sir are the next level !! Love your commitment to the Sport
I wish we had the internet and people like you when I started riding back in the early 80's. Such a wealth of knowledge. Keep up the good work man. I'd love to come out and do one of your schools one day.
I teach here in Utah all the time! Thanks for the support!
Love the videos, keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do!
You bring me perfecyt prepeted for riding , through the Winter ❄️ ,
One thing to consider is lag of heart rate after physical exertion, usually in seconds or more.

Very didactic. Love your videos.
Another great video!

Great info.... thanks
Like, good explained and very good tips, hard enduro live long 😁✊
“...sitting on a stationary bike...really that’s what hard enduro is.” Lmbo love that masochistic attitude!
good tips thanks!
very nice man!!!
Amazing videos!! I am your big fan!
Glad you like them! Thanks So Much!!
Kettlebells on order for Christmas this year 💪
Dude I bet you get a workout carrying those big balls around. Love your vids. Thanks for all the lessons. Ps. Whats the equivalent to a Shinko 505 in an IRC ?
Either our VE33s Gekkota or the IX09W Gekkota currently. The Ve33s is a hybrid gummy and the IX is a super gummy.
@@IRCTireUSAMoto thank you
you need to include flexibility exercises. increases your range of movement, suppleness and helps reduce injuries. excellent vid.
At this point, I need hulk hogan's and LA7 's Dr's number....

I absolutely do! Mostly here in Utah
More Bike time! Dr’s orders! 😉
I usually skip the work out and just grab a big-gulp sized amphetamine mocha mocha on the way to the race. Great advise though!!
LOL!! That works too!
Esperando... 😉💪🏻
Muchas Gracias!!
Thanks for the vid! what is important when I buy my spinning bicycle?
How would you adjust this for a 60+ C class rider
🏋🏽♀️🔥

hey rich , what size IRC tires do you like to run on your 300?
110-100-18 IX09W Gekkota.
@@IRCTireUSAMoto thank you i was having trouble deciding as irc seem to have different sizing compared to other brands . why do you run such a thin tire , compared to 120/130/140s ?
oh come on, I bought dirt bike only because it has motor so I don't have to do pedaling....
hahah!!
Min 3:50 you ara crazy man
How can I get info on your riding class?

How come you didn’t mention stretching before or after workouts as well as well as the importance of flexibility training?
You ever seen a lion stretch before he tackles a gazelle?
@@IRCTireUSAMoto Yes. It's called Cat Pose :)
@@09Tedesco Haha yes stretching is important. This was just a quick breakdown.

Is this not cheating???? ;-)
Thanks for everything! Here’s a little something for you: ua-cam.com/video/ucIal54_VLw/v-deo.html
Please, don’t do Kettlebell swings in front of a big TV 😂
Unsubscribe. I'm not doing cardio and you cant make me. Jk.
lol!!
