- www.crosstrainingenduro.com tractionerag.com Woohoo. There are a few new climbs. We have been advised go for it but don't dig holes in the track! Into enduro riding? See all our dirt bike videos for dirt riding tips. Property owners usually don't like erosion wrecking their slopes. And avoiding wheelspin is always a plus for us. It means working harder to find traction and thinking our way up technical climbs instead of using brute force. Our channel now had hundreds of dirt bike videos covering reviews, and dirt riding techniques. As always, you want maximum weight on that rear wheel to create a big tyre patch. You can see Scott is barely touching the ground with his boot. Too much weight through your leg, you lose a lot of traction. Slipping the clutch is a critical skill. Too many riders just drop the clutch and start digging holes instead of going forward. So don't rush hill climbs. Stop and think your way through. Otherwise you will wear yourself out way too fast. Search our channel for dirt riding gear too. Our dirt riding tips also include wider topics such as the best dirt riding boots. Be ready to drop that bike fast to avoid coasting backwards. See our video about hill climb recovery - how to safely stop and turn around on steep slopes. Scott uses his clutch to hold the bike in place on this hill climb. Check what is in front of your rear wheel. Scott hits an exposed tree root here but wasn't aware of it. There's nothing wrong with getting off to push the bike or lift it onto a better line. The best hard enduro riders do it. You can too. Be ready to throw the bike. Too many riders don't let go of the bars, loop the bike out, and it can cartwheel all the way back down. Don't be afraid to drop your motorbike on a hill climb! See that rock in front of Scott's rear wheel? Impossible to get over (at our skill level). It always pays to check and avoid wasting energy on an impossible maneouver. Scott could possibly dig a trench here and push the bike up. But it will wreck the track fast for others. And property owners often lynch riders who create big erosion problems when it rains. Watch carefully, you can see Scott applying his weight to the bike on the seat and footpegs. This can help get a brief moment of traction on hill climbs that can also bounce you up and out of a hole in the track.

Be ready to drop the bike....I do this when I'm unloading the bike off the trailer.
🤣
😂 gold 👌
It's definitely better to get it out of the way early in the ride
😁👌
Not me laughing out loud and having to explain why to my wife
I'm learning (very slowly) that having a proper level of momentum for a given condition is also highly beneficial getting through various challenges on the trail. I've learned that being overly careful and slow can sometimes make it far more difficult to surmount the obstacle confronting progress.
Definitely! We don't always need a lot of momentum... sometimes even a walking pace can be just enough to get over wet tree roots and rocks on a slow hill climb.
My bike is carbureted, when I have a choice,
I lay it down (drop it) to the right side, then
the fuel doesn't spill out of the over-flow.
I also hit the kill if I know I don't have time
before it stalls, if I do have time, I grab the
clutch (pull it in) first then pick it up, avoiding stalling
as I pick her up. If it chokes out, or flames out
on me, I don't bother kicking it 25 times, I crack
the throttle open 1/8'' (couple mm's) and kick
hard as I can, it will start, first kick. Once in a great while it
will kick back on me, but that's pretty rare.
Always appreciate your humor mixed in with good simple advice. The Wild West rifle shooting in your trip to Canada was still your best humor, love that stuff.
Cheers Jon! Sadly I probably wouldn't get away with the gun stuff nowadays, CZcams and Facebook have been tightening up the censorship.... good in some respects but a bit overboard sometimes.
Steep uphill is a challenge. I'd rather go down a hill anytime. I've got loads more control going down.
Love this channel
Cheers Chris!
Just love your humor…we must be brothers in another life! Been watching your vids for a while now. Just plain Ass funny shit!
You can sure see how the 37+ inch seat heights work against us here.
"Thinking your way up" --> Great phrase.
It's taken a few years for this to sink in for our group lol
Nice vid… big fan of your work! Keep it up and hope to run across you on a nice single someday if you get to Idaho!
It would be good to go dirt riding about the US one day, Kevin 😎
Cool vid thanks Barry 🤙🤙
Glad you enjoyed it 😎
Great vid!
Thanks!
Everyone switching to a trials tire would help prevent a lot of trail damage.
Knobbys usually dig deep trenches when looking traction.
True, but then again if you lose low pressure and work on your technique you rarely spin the wheel with a knobby. That's what we've been working on the past few years....
Some awesome looking tracks, wishing central WA wasnt so flat
But you're not too far from Cle Elum and North Idaho is great riding. Just a bit farther.
Come over to the Wa/Id border. We've got rocks, trees, rocks, creeks, and mile after mile of killer singletrack.
@@robbed_of_sanity Sorry mate I don't mean Washington state :D . I live in central Western Australia (WA), which is very flat compared to where Barry rides in the videos. Which I assume is in NSW.
@@Isaac-SpeedyEFI ^^^
@@ballistic6175 Haha, well the offer still stands. You get here, and We'll show you all the great trails.
Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am not afraid to drop that 150kg anchor if it avoids me being under it... anything that breaks can be tied back on or left in the jungle with all the M-150 bottles
nice vid! im hoping (not like romania dance lol) for a video of your friends ktm 200.
so little info can be found for these bikes, since they didnt sell very well like the early/mid zeros 200's.
id love to see the pros n cons vid!
Generally they seem to be very good bikes, Manolis! The only real issue is that old-style electric start.
@@crosstrainingenduro thx!! i guess i have the whole summer to decide
Beta makes them new 👌
@@andypal5544 ik but
too poor to but a new one
too old to change fav brand
Hey mate, can you do a long term review on Scott's 200, I just would like to see how it handles after years of that terrain and especially since it is a smaller bore
I don't even know what that is... who makes it? Unfortunately I get a lot of topic requests, I can barely keep up with those of supporters. 😢
@@crosstrainingenduro Scott's exc 200 Ktm but if it is too much of a hastle don't worry about it aye
Ah gotcha... I thought Scott was a brand of dirt bike lol.
@@crosstrainingenduro oh righto haha
What software do you use to edit your videos?
Vegas but I definitely don't recommend it. See our review.
Sure now you tell me, the race with the big nasty hill climb was last week. 😟
What bag are you using on your handlebars ?
Which part of the vid, Darcy?
@@crosstrainingenduro 3:16 have seen it in a couple of your vids
Gotcha. The brand is Kelly and made in Australia. Expensive but really top notch handmade stuff. www.kellyenduroproducts.com.au
1:32 he's fully extended with the bike below the rock. He can never get the bike up there while holding on to it. Gotta know your limitations.
I'm trying to remember how he did get it up at that point. He did manage it, I just don't remember how....
I would rather do this type of trail on an EMTB and use my dirt bikes for dunes lol
Tip #1 auto clutch
Step 11: Beg for Mercy from the Knobby Gods.
Yes! And sacrifice the slowest rider in your group to please them.
Barry, this guy: czcams.com/video/QChLiMcGQf4/video.html&lc=UgxwEryULPty17Ewlm54AaABAg.A176GWnycOoA1DZokAQXTr says that leaning over the bars is not a good technique for preventing loopbacks. I have a feeling that squatting works, but to a limited extent. I use it only on short ones. It seems there is not much room to move forward. What do you think?
It's a good point and I actually need to redo some of the very early training vids on body positioning and hill climbs. Rough rule of thumb? As it gets steeper you just squat more to lower the centre of gravity. Or if sitting on the seat, slide forward. Leaning over the bars is only for when it's very steep and must be done to avoid a backflip. I base this on training with Chris Birch we did years ago. Other enduro trainers may disagree of course...
@@crosstrainingenduro Thanks. It just occurred to me that it was on a dual sport CRF300L. It has bulkier than enduro tank in front, which might be the problem with moving forward. I have switched to Sherco. It has better shape for this.
Pin it to win it !
Great work, maybe we can usher in a new age of dirtbike woke-ism where we praise people on their ability to get up with as little fuss as possible and shame the wheelspinners with loud boo's from above😛
A good start, Andrew. Then public floggings perhaps? The sky's the limit. 😂 Well actually we'd probably hit some legal issues with human rights, but it's all worth exploring!
