Good video. I ride down in southern arizona and there's plenty of that and worse. All your tips are 100% but I'd like to add one more: Boulder fields are tough and there is no way around needing practice to confidently get through them. Especially if you're a new rider, if you're having troubles carrying your momentum it's okay to just paddle along. It'll take some time to get a feel for how much throttle to give and as you get a better feel for different sized rocks and different terrain (uphill, downhill, off camber, etc) it'll be easier to keep your butt up off the seat. And one thing to avoid: Don't just send it or you're gonna get hurt. Larger rocks are going to push your front tire around and with too much speed the front tire goes one way and the rest of the bike goes the other. And there you are over the handlebars. So go slow at first, get plenty of practice, and you'll get better as it goes.
Now if this was a large hill climb at what pace do you run? To fast and you get deflected and shot all over leading to crash. To slow and you can't keep traction and momentum
New at off-roading. Took a nasty couple of falls on identical rocks last time out. Now I can't wait to go try them again armed with this knowledge.
You make it sound so easy.

Momentum is key, stand up, let the bike do the work. Be confident, your trusted steed will get it done
I dearly need this.
Soft suspension is important. It's almost impossible to control the bike on a hard suspension set-up
Nice video... helping me out..
sir can you reply here your rebound and conpression setting of your rear shock thank you👌
Bro this helped me
I really hate rocks. Sand I can bear but rocks are more unpredictable and more unforgiving.
PERFECT description. Many beginners won’t stand on pegs, and use a higher gear. Sitting and paddling with feet SAPS a lot of energy.
Now if this was a large hill climb at what pace do you run?
To fast and you get deflected and shot all over leading to crash. To slow and you can't keep traction and momentum
Sooo any tips on how to this but on a harley?
how many click on fork? pls advise
And do you still tighten lower legs to bike or must legs stay loose/seperated for more 'weightlessness?
I’m here after I fell on rocks 😂
I feel like I'm all over the trail. Like I can't keep the handlebars straight
harder than it looks
It's not after you understand and apply the technique.
Rocks are scary
Gorman?
what rocks, I don't see any
You've got a valid point. What was shown is barely rougher than a gravel road.
