I love that you consider 5'9 short. I'm 5'4 so that's what I consider short. Keep riding hard.
Yeah was going to say that’s not short haha, I find pivot turns on a hill difficult when your flat out touching the ground especially on a cambered slope
@@paintbrush8743 awesome. I love the CR500 but the extra foot of height that you have probably makes its a little easier to adapt to it.
@@Jack-xp8yri’m 5’10 on the dot and i feel like a midget around people who are 6’5 and up😂
Same. I'm 20 in April. It's bs
Do u ride a kx65
Rich, you have a gift when it comes to explaining and teaching these techniques! You’re content is top notch! We in the dirt bike community are lucky to have you. I truly hope that the Moto Station and IRC will continue their relationship with you for many years to come. Thanks!
Agreed. His explanations are so complete that it gives a rider complete understanding of the task. Gives enough confidence to try new things, and even more confidence in performing challenging riding maneuvers that a rider already knows how to do.
Great instructions for riders, at any level !
My rear fender now has a “quick release” function 😂.
I've logged about 12 hours of practice on slow wheelies and am finally able to go 20 or 30 feet in total control. Absolute Nervan. Thanks for all the technical advice i used it all. Keep up the good work and ride safe
At age 59, you and a couple of other sites have inspired me to work much harder at my dirt riding skills. Keep up the great work.
Well said! I'm 55 and right there with you. Never desired more to be a better rider than I do right now. My 2 sons ride with me and we have a blast! Keeping us OG's young lol
I'm 64 and as inspired as ever to become a better technical trail rider. These videos are so helpful!
My mates 67 and he smokes me what’s wrong with us all 🤣
Nice to see I am not the only older guy watching and trying to learn more😃 50+ guys riding 300’s
@@waynemodesitt3445 I’m closing in on 60 and I will be trying this technique on my Supermoto
I can work on this in my yard! Can't wait! This channel has the best technique explanations I've seen. Excellent!
A great place for it! Thanks for the support!
you could even in your living room ;)
So many bike skills can be developed in your yard👍
@@IRCTireUSAMoto I've really enjoyed some of your tires dualsporting. The TR8 is still my tire of choice for riding all over the USA on a DR650, even if it's a bit skinnier than Suzuki specs for their 650 chunkster. 'Ridiculously versatile and a good value...like the ol' DR.
Just practiced in my yard for about an hr and had a handful of 10-15meter ones! Best wheelie advice I've ever heard!
The "How to wheelie" video we've all been waiting for!
Glad to help!!
@@IRCTireUSAMoto Quick question, if I don't know how to wheelie, can I learn this technique without knowing how to fast wheelie?
This is some serious shit, that's gonna help 💯
Used to do this w/out thinking. Now that I am riding again after a while (and have to think)…this is perfect. Thanks!
Indeed
I loose track of how many times I re-watch these videos to absorb the skills. Much respect, this is epic!
This is by far the best how to vid on the Wheely. My problem has always been, once up, getting spooked, and coming on too hard on the back brake, sending me down so quick, I flipped over the handle bar once. But to start by walking behind while feathering the clutch and gas, then transitioning to right leg on peg (and the key you point out that was my epiphany, constant mild pressure on that back break, to feel where that gripping power needs to be or not be, how much on and how much off to keep balance), boom, you’re wheelying, now just lift the left leg off the ground. Sooo fricken simple, it slows things waaaaaaay down, “training wheels”, so to speak. Can’t believe I never thought about walking behind the bike. I could do it in a wheel chair, so I understood the concept of having that grip to be able to pull the front wheels up with forward power, and push the nose down with your hand break on the wheel, but transitions that to a bike seemed, well, akways so rushed, popping the front tire up, and figuring out all the subtle nuances in a hundredth of a second all while spooked. Again, well done. Now o need a little 125 2-stroke to practice on, I’m 45, and need to start small. Rode my whole life, but not with any Wheely skills.
I'm 67 I've been riding since I was 12. I've never been good at wheelies. I'm also a professional boat captain. I'm very good at maneuvering big boats in tight quarters. The reason is a lifetime of practice. One of these videos pointed out you don't get good at ANYTHING without practice. I believe as soon as I get back home, I'm going to get my 1975 Yamaha DT 400 out, find a good place, and start seriously practicing!
its fun if you are baked before hand trust me youll zone out on wheelies and they just get better real quick i do it on my klt160 trike and ytm200”s
Only started riding a couple of months ago at the age of 37, you channel is a gem of a find Rich , big thanks all the way from Ireland
Welcome aboard! Stoked the channel is helping!! I appreciate the support!
Big style man , you make it sound 2 easy which is the reason why I smash up my bike thinking I can do it 😂😂
Just turned 39 and ordered my very first dirtbike for Enduro riding... Thanks for all these lessons.
Same here started a few months ago , in Ireland
I didn't started riding dirt until I was about 40. I'm almost 50 now. The last 10 yrs have been AWESOME! Here in North America, dirt routes from almost coast to coast, between Mexico and Canada, and BDRs in various states are being explored/experienced by dualsport riders. Routes are being explored and shared around the globe now.
Ride the world!
Dang, these tutorials are so well thought out and produced, thank you
Rich really enjoy the videos and the way you break it all down! Still have my moto even though I can’t ride now while I recover from a car accident so all I can do is study and lean what I can by watching. Thank you for all the excellent break downs and your honesty is so refreshing!
You're a great teacher Rich! Appreciate how you break down the processes and then explain each step... thank you from a fan down under in Australia. Hope you can get down here some time ... Cheers, Simon J.
Thanks for the excellent technical explanation along with ideal video. Being mainly an adventure tourer, I haven't tried a wheelie in decades...but you have inspired me to try it again on a dirt bike!
solid video! Thanks for the energy and time spent making these videos!
I love how you adjust in detail for short riders, so motivating! and this makes so much more sense to me now! Ofc, I am new in hard enduro so first will work on balance as you showed before! thanks! this is the best chanel ever
Excellent stuff! My favourite bike channel as it really inspires and teaches the proper techniques. I have already improved on clutch control, traction and the understanding stuff better just by watching your videos. Currently working on the wheelie 🙌
Thank you Rich so much for your videos. I'm a newbie. Was really stoked the other day that I popped a few decent standing start wheelies.
I'm gonna stick with this video to bring me forward. Thank you.
And I'll need tires soon and be shopping the IRC website.
Another hack to learn to lift the bike up fast to balance point without moving too much forward is to learn how to lift the front wheel with your engine off, just using the body weight and suspension.
By learning it first, one would understand that the bodyweight and suspension do the 2/3 of the job and engine/clutch is only last 1/3...
Great point man!!
This is the best video I have seen on doing a wheelie. Thank you and well done!
I think this is the best ”how to wheelie” video I have seen! Very practical and safe way to start, need to give this one a try! Thank you!
I have been watching how to wheelie a dirt bike for months now and I could never get it till now this was the most helpful video I have watched can’t wait to try it!
Thanks for taking the time to break down the difference in wheelie technique.
We love you man. I feel like im an expert on slow wheelie already. Just by watching this video many times. You break it down so simply that viewers understood the lesson with full confidence.
Ive been wanting to work on the slow and short wheelies for enduro application..i wasnt sure exactly the best way to approach it....this video makes it all clear you surely saved me a lot of grief when ot comes to my approach thank you
Of all my subscriptions this is without a doubt the most educational and beneficial youtubers that I follow. Thank you for your service!
Thanks for the video. Great explanations. This will help me straighten out the slow wheelie. Right now I find myself just doing slow wheelies to the left in circles.
I can't believe I never thought of trying to practice this way. Can't wait to try this next time I'm out. The hardest thing to getting the slow wheelie is the practice time you need to master it. If I'm lucky I'll get a good clutch up and get a few seconds of experience from it. At that rate it's taken me forever to feel like I'm progressing. This gives me a clean starting spot that I can build on. Thanks Rich!
Man, what a great description of this slow wheelie technique. Thanks so much!!
Hands down the best skills tips I've been able to find on the youtubes and shot in my backyard or more accurately 5 miles of off-road track from my backyard.
I like the narration in all these IRC Tire videos... Hard to explain concepts call for an elevated form of narration and delivery... Well done
I love following your videos, thanks for the great advice and selflessness.
Wow thanks this makes this skill look so much more attainable!! Thanks Rich!!
If I had to only subscribe to one channel this would be it. Every time I think you’ve covered it all you put out another terrific video. Thank you my friend.
This is the best hack for learning the slow wheelie. Still working on it but have used that feeling of being off the back of the bike in turning around on steep trails.
Great video. Quick and informative instead of dragged out needlessly.
This is pure gold. And you make it look sooo easy!
Definitely will try that out! Thanks so much for sharing and explaining well!
Man. I haven’t even tried it yet but I can just see how awesome this Will work. Absolutely ingenious!!!! Thank you for the excellent tips.
Great stuff. I'll be trying this this week for sure. I appreciate your videos man.
Gotta say Rich your instructional teaching skills are #1.
Excellent breakdown! You gave me hope to since I am 5’-9” like Trevor! I bought a KX100 to try and work out the fundamentals before trying on my KTM 300; the KX100 helps the confidence level.
Great spot on and brief how to wheelie video definitely gonna use this!
This is great information. Thanks for sharing, I enjoy all of your videos and hope to keep improving my bike skills.
It's one of the greatest enduro teachers. Big thanks for you, buddy!!!
This was the best information I’ve seen on this topic. Thank you. Keep up the good work
Dude this is awesome! Haven't had the chance to try yet but already this makes sooo much more sense than anything else I've seen!
Very helpful video, broke that down beautifully. Big ups thankyou 🙏
Wow.. best wheelie tutorial ever!! 👏💪 Thanks for sharing dude!
Thank you for these videos, I've watched all of them and am surprised how fast I've gotten better at technical riding. Balance is still where I need the most work, but like you say, practice until you're sick of it and practice some more! Thanks again, can't ask for a better instructor!
Dude, always top quality content. Love this channel!
Without a doubt your channel has helped improve my slow wheelie game, keep it coming,
This video changes everything. Thanks for making it.
Cómo siempre Rick, transformas lo complicado en sencillo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Gracias por tus consejos, mucha veces me ayudaron a mejorar mi conducción.
Voy a ejercitar esta técnica.
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
This is great, thank you. 5'9"er here too. Just too short to do the both feet dragging method which I think is the best. This is the gap fill hopefully that will work. Balance point and knowing exactly the throttle response I think is key. Also keeping arms straight hanging off bars instead of instinct of pulling upper body to bars
Great detail went into making this video I could see foot positions perfectly I will be watching this one again and again thanks 😊
Really good tips, also tips I have not seen in other video yet - thanks!
Thank you so much for all these videos! I watch all of them multiple times and have helped my riding immensely 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Glad they help! Thanks for the support!
Great tips as always, Rich! I’ve been working on moving my left foot to the peg recently. Thanks to this video I now know how far along in the process I am
Happy to help! Sounds like you are progressing nicely!
thank you so much for sharing these drills, you are awesome !!!
Great video! Love the training tips for the clutch control. The only issue I have that my clutch is still a bit engage of but pulled completely to the bar which makes me always have to walk behind the bike…. 🤷
Thanks for the tips. I always wanted to master the slow wheelie
Excellent tips. Something I've been figuring out on my own but, I wasn't sure if I was right or wrong. Never seen these tips in other vids on this subject. At least not so clearly. Great job!
Thanks for the videos Rich!
So good. Nice to see some humility man. Well done.
thank you havnt tried this method but my brain comprehends it and seems like the best way to learn!
Love it! Keep em coming Rich!
Cheers Rich.. great vid.. will be practicing this at the weekend 🤙
Yes, Rich you have a special gift when it comes to teaching. I watch many "How To" YT vids with people trying to explain and or teach different tasks/skills etc. If I were still pursuing a conventional education I would be so lucky to end up with such an articulate, easy to undertand and encouraging instructor. It is teachers like you who make the world a better place because of your skills in keeping students interested in what they are trying to learn.
A big thanks from me too!
PS. Hope I get a chance to run into you the next time you are in Honolulu and the shtik with Mark Akita (sp?) "Wheelies with the KX 80" was just great! Classic comedy fun but highly instructive!
Your Vid's always motivate me to improve my mediocre capabilities. And even at my age it works 🙂
Thx a lot and keep on motivating the whole community. 👍👍
In 10 minutes i've learned more about wheelie-ing than I have my 10 years of riding. Good stuff dude will have to try this out next time I'm on dirt.
This is the second video I’ve seen you made about wheelies and it’s the best hands down. Please make a new video pulling everything together. A nice 30 minute video we would love it!
Thanks rich that totally makes sense i have done similar trick to do a 180 wheelie but still cant do slow straight ones am going to try this cool.
Awesome tips! Can't wait to try it. Thanks!!
Great video man, keep up the work!
thanks from the Netherlands for a clear explanation better slow wheelie, and hope to see more video from you, greetings from the Netherlands from Mohamed.
Best advice and info ive seen is right here...
That will also help to prepare double blip 👍🏻 thanks Rich. I starter from this point at the beginning. Ans I often use it to warm up.
Man oh man ! My new favorite channel.
Ive been riding for a year this is the best video ive seem yet
What an awesome technique. Will be trying this soon 👍 great video!
Very very good! That’s my next training session sorted great work 👍🏻
This video was extra good. Great work again
Appreciate your video and I like how precise you explain
Going to get my bike out right after watching the video and give it a go!
Inspiring. Getting the Bike up while standing aside was new for me.
That was awesome. I’m going to try it. Best tutorial I’ve seen in a while.
I’d have listened to you at school if you were my teacher
This is the bomb, who doesn't want to slow wheelie. Thanks Rich, also can't wait to get started with this.
most of people only want to ride and ride with no skills
Heaps of good tips, cheers, from Sydney
Pro tips especially for electric motorcycles where you don’t have a clutch using the suspension pop is a must
Passion equals great teachings.
i cant do any of this but i'm going to go try and have a great time doing it. thanks IRC tire guy
Excellent video. Love this channel. Subscribed.
You are the MASTER of Hard Enduro 🙌🙌
Great tips! I’m going to borrow my buddies bike for the first couple try’s.
Amazing! Nice work rich👍
Helped a lot good explanation. Subscribed!
The best thing about the drills that you show is that I can do them in my backyard while enjoying a few beverages :) Always drink responsibly kids!
great video, now I will definitely try to wheelie with more confidence
My big thing right now is two fold - Confidence as I only have a FE 501 Husky to work with and using my index or middle finger on the clutch as they get TRIED QUICKLY and I am 65, but I am starting with your 10 lessons videos first. Thanks your a great teacher.....
