In this weeks Enduro riding tip we are teaching you how to properly control your Enduro or Dual Sport bike when standing up. Especially on tight trails it is very important to gain full control of your motorcycle in order to be safe and go faster.
1. Foot position: You have to make sure that you ride your dirt bike on the balls of your feet. This will allow you to drop your heels, open up your ankles and control the Enduro or Dual Sport bike from your foot peg up.
2. Arm and Chest Position: Keep your chest forward and your arms slightly bent. This position will allow you to work with you motorcycle and keep control when braking or exhilarating.
3. Look Ahead: In order to be prepared for unexpected obstacle you have to look ahead and read the terrain.

I live down there! Tecate baja!!
Great stuff man. I need this kind of help and explanation. Can you explain how to corner sharp at average speed. Eg 90 to 180. Corners.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻 We have been filming a lot lately and have some cool stuff coming.
Thanks for the video. Not sure I understand the braking/shifting though. If I want to shift my foot forward, it means I need to put more weight on the other foot, which will likely steer the bike no?
How far ahead do you look down the trail?
The day I started “standing” was the day I stop “falling” off the bike
Problem is moving feet forward for breaking of your on a fast hair hound race with lots of corners your braking so much it’s hardly worth moving foot back and forth.
How do you brake while standing up?No one has any videos to explain or show that ever!
With the front brake. And grab with your legs while scooting foot forward to dab rear brake if you need it. Should be using mostly front brake in most situations.
@@jebbrooks5802 i disagree, rear brake is more important for off road riding than it is on the road ( though both are obviously important for both)
You'll get to that brake if you need it. It's a simple move forward of your foot. Plus it is explained towards the end of the video.
@@slothFPV if you’re not being facetious, try applying more front brake throughout your dirt riding. Far as I’ve always been aware, it should still be about 75% of your braking power on dirt. Works best for me anyway.
@@jebbrooks5802 i still use a lot of front, but for descents etc you can maintain more manoeuvrability while still slowing yourself with only rear brake. it defo depends on the situation. sometimes using the front brake will result an instant front end washout but you still need to slow down. idk im still relatively noobish to off-roading (2~3 years)
Great vid, quick and simple. Newbie question - my hands and forearms tire badly, mostly because I am fighting against body momentum a lot of the time and have to hold on tight - I speed up, my body is thrown back, I let off the gas, its thrown ahead. I've tried being more subtle with the throttle and riding in higher gears, helps some... do you have a video on this or any tips?
You gotta get your chest more forward. It sounds like even though you think you are balanced, you are standing too upright with your chest. Keep your legs straight, but try to get you head up and over the bars. Try to see your number plate, but keep your head up when actually riding
@@davidsollenberger2998 Thanks, sounds like what I am doing wrong, this should help!

New rider. Having a hard time with the new motocross boots as I started off in hiking boots. Please tell me it gets easier! I can't even think about shifting standing up, lol. Get comfortable shifting seated down first and then standing, or should just start practicing right away? Any advice appreciated... 🙂
First thing I recommend is to adjust the clutch pedal so you can fit your boot in there with no issues. Most riders have little room for a boot there in stock bikes.
Eventually you won't be able to ride without mx boots, trust me 🤣 I was also overwhelmed the first time I tried boots, and thought "I'll never get used to this", my friends told me the same thing I told you before and I didn't believe. With time I realized they were absolutely right
It gets easier.
all fun and games until your knees are a few inches above the seat
I disagree with dropping your heels, when you drop your heels you are shifting your weight/the load rearward. If you get the front end light could be a potential problem. Stand on the ground lift the front of your feet up and see what happens to your body. You want to keep your feet as level as possible during riding. When you are coming to a hard stop dropping the heels is a good idea when you want to get over an obstacle with the front dropping your heels is a good idea but not for most of the ride. This is what I have found to be more optimal
