Thanks for joining the discussion! 🙌 We're here to learn to ride dirt bikes! Just get a bike or thinking about buying one? Drop your questions below and let's help each other out.
Another great instruction video. Having my son watch these now and will work with him later. You give good perspective on what is going on. Its good for him to hear someone else talk through it.
Hey man, great info! Just started down the rabbit hole of dirt bikes at 32 years old and stumbled across your channel. Always wanted to ride, but sometimes life just takes awhile to get you to that point. Since you seem quite knowledgeable on the topics at hand, perhaps a video talking about preferred riding gear, places to shop safely and "wisely" - would be very cool. Subbed either way! Cheers!
@@notsoupmoto Not yet, but started looking at Honda CRF250F from a buddies recommendation and corroborated by your channel. The "work-from-home/endless Teams meetings" life has me itching to find some adrenaline throughout the PA countryside, and my step-son has expressed interest in riding too. Figured i'd start here!
This a great video i will takes these tips next time i got to my friends house and ride dirt bikes with him and when i get a dirt bike for myself i think you should make a jumping video becasue i would like to learn how to jump better and safer thank you youre video helped me .
Can you do a video about learning to stand up while riding? When I try my bike swerves right\left and I have to sit back down to change direction, I’ve had a xr100r for about 3 months and have been riding a few hours every now and then, I’m great at sharp turns and other topics, but when it comes to standing up I just can’t do it!
Definitely a great idea for a video! Thanks for the suggestion. In the meantime, some things to help you out would be squeeze the gas tank tight with your knees when you’re standing. Most of the control of the bike while standing is done with your legs. Also try to lean forward almost like you’re hanging out over the front of the handlebars and over the front fender. And keep your elbows up with your butt back. Think of a horse jockey 🏇. That’s the position you want to be in. This will help you brace for the power when you twist the throttle. If you’re standing straight up, the bike will feel like it’s pulling out from under you and you won’t have control with your arms.
@notsoupmoto Good morning, I came back to watch this video again. I'm Still waiting for the Video On Body Positioning, Hopefully You Will find the time to Do That Video. You're an Excellent Teacher and You Explain Things Very Well that Even a Total Newbie Can Understand. Anyway I hope You have a wonderful Day and I will keep a lookout for the Video.
