That was a really informative video; he’s a great instructor. This is something I need to practice and I know your video will help me learn. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. This is something most people can practice more, and you can do it just about anywhere! I was practicing this and static balance today in fact. I still suck, but getting better! Thanks for watching
These are great and really looking foward to the rest. I think many of us know the basics of these drills but he definately threw a couple little tidbits in that I'll have to get out and try this afternoon.
It's the little things that make the difference! Granted, it was hot out this day, but I was sweating like crazy between this and the static balancing! I like that you can do these at home in the garage/yard without even having to put your gear on.
Having just learned to do this successfully, the break-through for me was to weight the inside peg so that the bike wants to fall over. Your natural reaction will be to counter that weight by putting your body weight on the opposite side. If you don't weight the inside peg, it is very unnerving to simply lean the bike over and then counterbalance - I think because it's harder to tell when gravity is pulling your bike down than when you are applying the force.
I've been trying to master this skill on my 690 for awhile now. I hate those that make it look easy .. :) My balance has improved quite a bit,just not enough.
Could you please comment about best beginner (50 years plus) enduro bike..? Beta alps .., Honda cfr 300, or something more involving like a ktm or a 2 strokes..? Thanks a lot for your precious teachings ❤
As always, enjoy the vids. I find that leaning the bike is counterproductive. I can do much better keeping it upright as much as possible. If anybody is having trouble, this might be why. You can't recover from to much lean, it then requires throttle, and starting over. You might even try reducing your steering stops. I removed mine for awhile but replaced them, this time ground down to half a bolt head so that my cables did not get crushed at full lock. They are now reduced as far as possible. To see your goal, walk the bike in that same circle, full lock, to see your minimum radius. Mines about 8 feet. That's the goal. However, balance requires a little steering each way so I'm satisfied with 10 feet. But everybody's bike is different, axle to axle, rake, steering stop setup, etc. Balance is extremely applicable to riding, full lock turns, not so much, but great balance practice
right on! Full lock turns are not something you will use much if you aren't doing ovserved trials, but it forces you to use your body to counterweight the bike! A skill that is very valuable!
Everyone usually has a side that they are better at or prefer. I hadn't done full lock turns in a while, then did some before BOG and was surprised when they came so easy after a minute or so of warming up. Every time I do balance and turn exercises it makes my riding better so I really need to make it a habit of spending a couple minutes before a ride on full lock figure 8's. I usually lean the bike just enough that my weight on the outside counters the lean, then I can get complete full lock circles by also feathering the front brake and throttle for balance.

I've been watching some of your vids and am very impressed. I have noticed that when doing the full lock turns tim Coleman and graham jarvis have different techniques. Tim sticks his outside knee way out whereas jarvis seems to keep his leg more tucked in close to the bike and on his foot on the arches. Is there a better way to do it or just different riding styles. I'm not trying to question their abilities, they are both extremely talented riders, just curious. Keep up the awesome content!
@@PrimalEnduro I appreciate the reply. They're both revolving around the same principle of counter balancing. What ever feels more comfortable I guess.
@@PrimalEnduro Ah yes, I suppose there is no one way to do anything. Knowing all, or in this case both, of the possible techniques allows you to expirement and find out which one you prefer for a given situation. Thanks again for uploading these tips. Have been practicing these drills and others as much as possible and have been very pleased with the improvements in my bike control. No better way to learn than from the pros.
Thanks for sharing
Great vid. Love the tips and drills! Keep them coming please.
Will do! Thanks for watching!

Suuuper cool ! I love it.
Thanks for watching!
This is awesome! I really appreciate the coverage. Maybe next time Tim is in town, I can make it to the training.
we'll have him back next year for sure!
Sweet! I'm making a note in my calendar now.

@@PrimalEnduro Exactly ! I usually do these if running the fuel out of the carb or warming up before a gear oil change.
@@jeffloucks2120 Great idea!

Keep them videos coming. I need all the help I can get.
You and me both!

These videos are super helpful! Thanks. Will there be more of these?
Yes, I have a ton of footage to go through. Thanks for watching
Another great video man thanks agin....👍 are u guys planning on having Tim come out again? next year if so I'd love to come out.
For sure we will have Tim back! It was a blast!
отличное упражнение!
Можно сделать это где угодно

@@PrimalEnduroFor some reason, today, in the yard practicing, I noticed I am much better going to the right. I don't know why?
@@martyprice5619 that might make you all right?

@@DirtJunkie definitely one of the basics and fundamental skills needed for hard enduro! Plus you can do it just about anywhere.
Come on Andy, get it together fella
If you only knew how many times I say that to myself every Sunday!
PrimalEnduro Haha. You and me both
Thank a lot friend! Like, subscribe and save.
No DRZ'S were hurt during this video... lol 🤣
How can you hurt a tank?
Awesome content! 10/10. Just the intro volume level is a bit too high. How much are these lessons Tim?
We will have Tim back to NY again in summer of 2020.. The two day course is ~$550.
Awesome stuff!! Hancock, NY is about 2 hrs North of me in Jersey. Is this place a dirtbike facility and when is the next clinic? Thanks, Vincent

I suppose just different styles. Tim tends to bring his knee out and Graham tends to hang his ass off the side of the bike

@@yz125enduro7 Yes, in fact I think I use a combination of the two!

Tims method is trials based. No seat. Graham and Chris Birch teach knees in and swing hips out.
I find Tim's more natural but burns the legs faster.
Great video, but why does the music always have to be so much louder than the talking?
7:50 what did he said ?))
"Of course I had to F@!k up for the camera."
Only dirtbike guys know what this title means
Perfect! And probably only trials or enduro dirtbike riders at that!
