"Doing exercises to improve your balance will make you a better rider. If your balance is good, you’ll use less energy to ride." - Graham Jarvis
This continues on from a our first introduction to balancing video here. In that first video, we said you should aim for being able to balance at a stand still.
Everything in extreme enduro terrain throws you off balance, so balancing lays a strong foundation for enduro skills. Trials riders can balance at a stand still for as long as they like, even with no hands on the bars. Cross training has a strong focus on being able to balance on your enduro bike, even at a stand still - this is a handy skill when you have minimal run up to your next obstacle. Balance also means you can spend more time standing on the pegs in tough terrain instead of sitting down, so you will have far more control of your dirt bike. Remember cross training applies trials techniques to your dirt riding skills. When you feel ready, try getting up on the foot pegs without someone holding the bike for you. This is a balancing technique used often in trials, and is a great tool for cross training too. Most trials techniques involve precise use of the clutch and balance, such as feathering the clutch for traction control up hills or dropping the clutch to launch the bike into the air. Cross training applies the same balancing principles to enduro bike and the clutch becomes an extension of your thottle at both low and high speeds.

The depression is what I was missing. I was practicing this weekend this and other techniques, kickers, log hops, 180 wheelie turns. Man, you never mentioned how sore my muscles would get. It's better than going to the gym! And I was only in the backyard.
Again, Thanks for the tips videos
Well I’ve got depression. You can have it if you want
Keep the videos coming! I just started riding dirt bikes at 46. I'm 6'5" and about 220 and ride a 12 WR450F. These lessons are VERY helpful!
Definitely going to try these techniques tomorrow. Thanks for making excellent videos!
Hey, I created the Portuguese subtitles, please aprove it. There are a bunch of gumbys here in Brazil looking for these vids. You do an awesome work!
obrigado marcelo, the subtitles are approved!
watching these vids alway's brings a smile to your face. thx guy's
These videos are helping me with my enduro E bike.
What did you buy... Sur Ron?
I can balance on one spot for nearly a minute.... with the side stand down.
Nice! I've found that a piece of rope tied to my handlebar and a tree limb above me works well too 👍🤣
This is my favorite You Tube Channel !!! Great Job guys !!! Greetings from Brazil.
Awesome videos and commentary. Love the humor. Great directional advice. Please keep up the good work.
I think all of your videos are great. Keep them coming!!!
Best Chanel for enduro love this stuff
I've been practicing static balance for 6 months. My riding confidence has improved so much. Even 20 mins of practice in a flat grassy field helps tremendously.
great to hear, joe! our crew improved dramatically in the slow technical terrain when we all started static balance practice.
Great job as always, looking forward for more videos!! Greetings from Argentina
These are real tips-I’m going to start with the last one first
"Ride your bike like you stole it!" 👍yeaahhhhhh ! What a disclaimer 😜
Doing well Scott! Getting lots of secret practice in by the looks of things :) Great vids Barry! Cheers K
Thanks bro! I will start training on my unicycle now
Awesome videos, keep it up!!!
Dude, your videos are so good and informative, but what's greater than that is the humor, OMG man! and only 32 comments from back in 2014??? you should be at 250k views on these things. Great job again man and helpful. Just got a '93 xr200 so I gotta brush up on techniques, : )
thanks ron, a lot of guys have said there should be more views but i figure if the vids are useful they'll eventually catch on in a big way... doesn't worry me though as it's not about money or numbers, just sharing the lurv. :)
My feelings exactly !! My favorite channel 4 sho !!! Keep up the superb work !! and thank you very much !!!!!!!!!
Another great video. I think the VO is the Bruce Brown of off road biking films!
As usual top quality stuff
Bravo et merci!!!
de rien mon brave!
my tip as a mountain biker who loves the techie trails: engage or lock your core, you will be amazed at how much this will help
awesome something to do in my yard!
I found this so helpful thanks and it’s going to help me a lot with enduro
Great to hear Sean, even after six years we'll do this when warming up the bikes or pulling up to a stop out on the trail!
In the 7 years I've been riding this kind of balance practice has been about 30% of all my moving time. I believe static balance practice is the most productive thing you can do on a bike to improve riding skill regardless of the bike or riding style.
You are an insanely good teacher.
spasibo vlad :)
I also got the cross training bug! Love the videos guys they have helped me alot as a rider !
Devon Mayhew cool! watch out for the trials bug though, incredibly contagious and you never shake that one. guys in our club are in their 70s and still afflicted by this nasty disease
Thanks for these really great informative and entertaining videos. The music could go away or be turned way down IMO but certainly not a deal breaker as I still really enjoy them despite.
glad the vids are helpful, gbtayc. i've done quite a few checks with my supporters over the past three years and almost all of them have said they prefer music, provided it's in the background, so it's definitely staying. this is an old vid and the volume was dropped in later vids based on feedback from my supporters... usually the non-supporters who complain about the music are abusive so i send them to our complaints dept lol

i cant wait to try some positions with my new 300 exc, just wish my bishop reached over 960mm....bugger
Hi Great video. I've been looking for a good balance and skinny obstacle tutorial for ages. Mostly for push bikes, but I have electric moto and used to have many petrol motos.
This is the only video I can find that looks at using a leg out for balance. Seems odd because I see riders do this heaps! I'd really like to take this skill as far as possible. A more detailed video on leg out balancing would be greatly appreciated. Especially if it looks at any variations between moto and push bikes.
It's usually trials riders who do this... handy skill in hard enduro! We'll be redoing all these old training vids one day and might put more detail in then.
@@crosstrainingenduro As I mentioned. I've been looking for a good leg out low speed balance and line following video for a very long time. Made requests with many channels! No one doing anything good. I think a good tutorial on the topic would get a few views!
This is good stuff, for sure. Question I have: is practicing this on a dual sport (I have 250, 400, and 1000) just as helpful? The balance zone on my bikes seems so miniscule. Not sure whether that's more typical of a dual sport, or whether that's just my inexperience, size (6-4, 220).?.
charlie bennett weight has a big influence on balancing, especially at a stand still. we find it is still possible on, say, a DRZ400 but impossible on a DR650. but a really good trials rider could probably static balance on almost anything.
CROSS TRAINING, ENDUROCROSS & ENDURO TECHNIQUES Thanks for the quick response. Seems that I'm making the most progress on my wr250r, but that happens when I have the engine running and make very small movements forward in combo with changes in body position to adjust balance. Trying to get that bike (along with the DRZ400 I have) to balance with engine off seems virtually impossible. I'll keep trying, however, cause I'm bull-headed and won't quit until I either get it or really believe it's beyond me.
@@reverenceforlife any luck teaching the wr250r to balance at stand still? I am currently trying to teach mine :(
When you come to a stand still with the engine running are you applying the front and back brakes as well?
Thanks for an awesome video.
usually just the front brake jason...
Cool beans guys.
what does he mean by low tire pressure? i run around 12 to 15 psi in my tires and i know for the front tire u always want alittle less in the front
Tayler Brown the guy in the video? "low" is his normal pressures, 11 to 12 as per the vid. personally i prefer 8psi for our cross training stuff.
I did it the other way round, learnt track stands on a MTB then tried standing on one leg. I never fall... Only get tired... After maybe 15 minutes...
+CROSS TRAINING ENDURO SKILLS What should be the oil/gas ratio for practicing this video (very low rpm) and keep the spark plug alive?
none of us have ever had issues with oiling up a modern two stroke nir, maybe it only happens to older ones?
I have 14' GasGas EC125. Maybe I just need to tune my carb :)
After practicing this video on low speed and RPM for couple of hours my spark plug was dead lol (I was running 50:1).
Since you'll see this comment I wanted to thank you so much for your videos! I've learned a ton from them and they're always funny which is great! :)
does holding the clutch in first an doing this burn out the clutch?
+Kurzon Dax it would take an incredibly long time, kurzon. all the riding we do involves a lot of clutch slipping and no one has replaced their plates in the last two years.
Hey Thanks for the quick and great response love your vids Subscribed!!!
I’ve got this static balance thing down on my trials bike and am trying to get better on the dirt bike. One thing I notice is the bars don’t turn nearly as far on the dirt bike compared to the trials bike. Has anyone tried trimming down the stops to increase how much the front wheel turns?
His holiness Tim Colman recomends this. Less steering angle on big jumps or high speed is more controllable. But us enduro chumps more angle has got to help! I ride both trials and enduro equaly bad so do note this after reading my doggy advice.
practice on a mountain bike, it help alot
That prayer at the start made me laugh so much
Oliver Marr Enduro there should be a holy trinity hey? maybe add graham jarvis and taddy...
Now that would make me religious!
Oliver Marr Enduro in the name of the walker, jarvis and blazusiak, amen!
Can't be forgetting pope bolton...
Anyone reading this may think we are a bit strange ay!? Haha 😂
Oliver Marr Enduro Your wrong, we don't think you're strange, we know you're strange, but hey, we all are. Haha
So if the bike is falling to the rider's left, which foot do you stick out? Do you lift your left foot to weight the right side of the bike? This foot lifting thing is new to me.
Kory's Rides falling to the left, stick the leg out to the right. in a sense using the leg is your last resort to maintaining balance. the first two are handlebar movement and body positioning. czcams.com/video/kPFp0i9hNpA/video.html

Doing this with rekluse clutch is easy! I want to see with conventional clutch! Kkkkk
I always use 15 lbs pressure to prevent rock pinch. So guess I can’t do this.
Don't see why not... it's only one factor that makes it easier. I've seen good trials riders doing this on road bikes with 30psi! I doubt I'll ever reach that level, but it's doable.
Its basically just like a track stand on a mtb
why is it lookin soooo easy
ive watched about 5 static balancing vids multiple times and practiced for several hours ish in my shed and im still absolute trash at this. Ill be doing this all winter until I get it. Its so damn frustrating when youre in the sweet spot and it feels like you could do it all day and then you fall over 2 seconds later. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Always a good idea to start with some help initially... face downhill. Less air pressure. Maybe dig a small hole for the front wheel.
@@crosstrainingenduro Thanks for the tips but I cant give up the convenience of the shed :) I have lowered pressures down though. Took total a solid 5-6 hours over the past week or 2 but today I finally had some noticeable results. Getting up to standing more often and for longer times. I doubt more than 20 seconds but it actually feels possible now!
Im finally pushing a minute on my best ones after 7-8hrs of practice. Consistency is much better and It's actually fun now. If anybody else is struggling like I was dont give up!
Some of the kinkier kama sutra positions
Fwark you blokes make it look easy
except for that other off road biking movie...
another great video! love the little sex position chat at the end haha
Been practicing in bed at night but keep falling out, will putting a pillow either side of me help stability? as I only have a hand brake beside me and she wont help, not even constructive criticism, just keeps saying 'stop being a dickhead, turn off the light and go to sleep' . She just doesn't get my desire to want to better my gumby riding abilities
