      @BrapGenius  Před 5 lety +30

      Emilio Aguirre no problem, I will say going from street to dirt is harder than going from dirt to street, but you do have the fundamentals you need to ride dirt. The biggest thing I’d say is go slow because it takes some time to get used to the rough terrain especially when you’re used to pavement. Also be sure to stand on the pegs when you ride that makes it sooo much easier. Good luck!!!

      Same here. I have quads and I am really good on them and ride big and small cruisers but two wheels on dirt has been an adventure and so addicting. Started with a 94 rm125 and just bought an 08 KTM 200 xc-w. Have not taken it out of the neighborhood yet but the hardest thing for me going from street to dirt is learning its ok for the bike to slide, hop, drift etc. I kept letting off the gas at every little slip of the rear wheel. I wish I would have learned on dirt first but I am getting it!

    I got mine a few week ago and after a few minor mistake and a bit of falling I got pretty good at it.

Idk if you’re into marijuana but dude, take a nice easy ride out in the wild, ride to the top of an open mountain or clear view and sit back relax and smoke some. Most relaxing thing I’ve ever done, nothing beats that in my opinion. Sorry about the way things are going in your life right now :/ try to keep your head up, life gets hard but getting past the hard stuff makes life so much more worth it.

    I just got a 2003 DRZ 125 because my boyfriend and I wanna share his hobby. I have a bit of PTSD from a 4x4 accident- was an automatic so never learned manual. He taught me perfectly but I get really overwhelmed once the bike is on and my mind blanks. It's only been two days. This video is my secret weapon. Thanks for making it- and love that the bike is older, very relatable for me.

Now I'm riding my dads yz426f . It's crazy how easy it is to learn , after a while you don't even need to think about it you just get on and go .

      Bob Newhart it’s not hard changing gears, you just have to hold the clutch and change the gear and let and clutch go. If the engine is getting louder and you are not going faster, that’s when you know to change gears. The hardest part is starting from zero because if you release that clutch too quickly, the bike will sputter and stop.

    Would you say learning to ride a dirtbike is as easy or more difficult than learning to drive a manual car?

    • @BrapGenius
      @BrapGenius  Před 6 lety +7

      Shaggy Mason probably more difficult because there's a lot more power usually and you have to maintain balance. If you can find an open flat spot that helps a ton

    • @kedrshr1mp6
      @kedrshr1mp6 Před 6 lety

      For that price you might be able to find something decent if you look around for a 2nd hand bike but really all you'l find are thumpstars, yamoto's, orions, etc basically a bunch of knock off chinese brands. Just do your research.
      If you're going to buy anything with that amount of money I would say go for a 150 Atomik, It's the best cheap chinese bike you'l find out there and they give an alright amount of power.
