    Great video! The better you get at technical off-road, the better you'll be on road when you have to react quickly to an unexpected event! I'm almost 60 and just loving single track technical trails. One year and 4,000 miles under my belt. It's the funnest hobby I've ever had in my life. Lynx, V14, and a Falcon.

      I put 6000 miles on my Extreme in 10 months. I started dirt biking when I was 10 years old. I have had every toy you can imagine. From snowboards to jet skis all kinds of bicycles to dirt bikes to street bikes to four wheelers….EUC is by far the funnest. I bought an extreme first and now I have a Sherman L. I am 50 years old. Stay safe. :)

    I’ve only been riding for 7 months and just upgraded from aV12 to a Sherman L.
    I’ve done a lot of off-road riding but feel that my skills still have a long ways to go. Jeep trails are great fun but so far the single track trails I have tried are kicking my ass. Perhaps it’s partly the trails, rocky with deep ruts and now mud. I’ve finally got pedal clearance, suspension and a knobby since the upgrade, that helps a ton. Now it seems like I need to dial in the skills and fitness to throw this wheel around.
    I’m looking forward to your pointers on turning tho.
    It’s funny to hear you say to lead with your shoulders, when skiing you keep your shoulders perpendicular to the slope and let hips and knees do the turning. Maybe that’s why I’m fighting it so much.
    Thanks for the info, so far I’m rolling solo in Montana.

    Hi TRUB !
    Really proud of Tips about off-roading, specially for a beginner like me.
    You’re really good at explaining in detail that everybody can understand the mechanics of off-roading EUC and getting better at it.
    And the best expertize is to go out there and put it all in practice…
    Exited about the next videos about the off-roading advanced techniques.
    Thanks a lot for this content !

    Great advice bud. I've been at it for 2 years now and while everyone has there own little twist on how to do it right.....there is only one right way and many wrong ones that work some of the time. Even the right way goes wrong from time to time. You did a great job explaining everything.
    jumps are still my bane. I do small ones and have great fun bonking rocks , roots ... etc but gaps sketch me out still and I case more table tops than clear hahaha. Most of my fear is that I only have the one wheel. I don't want to destroy my Master , and I'm 47... I dont want to destroy myself. I don't heal as fast as I use to HAHAHA Once I get my long range wheel I wont worry so much if my Master is down.

    A great set of tips. I wish I'd watched this a year ago.
    Just stuffed up landing a jump.
    I was daydreaming in the air.
    Lost some skin but the worst was a rock for inside my full face. Thought I'd broken my nose again but only a chunk from my nostril.
    At 62 I don't bounce as well as I used to!
    Hasn't put me off though 👍

    Its interesting to me to realize that after 3000 miles of riding trails and figuring things out myself, how almost everything you said here I've gotten. feels good to know I've been heading in the right direction. Here in the Michigan, the number one thing I hate is damp/wet roots that are an obtuse angle to your tire. It violently makes the tire track the root and throws you off. The next is pedal clips. ride safe Dude !

    • @trubttam
      @trubttam  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      best bet is to try and get momentum going in the right direction and then try hop and become as weightless as possible while going over the roots and hope your momentum can carry you to the next safe bit, seeing as we think alike that's probably your plan already but figured id throw it out there!

    This is the best riding tips video I have ever seen, so good job 👏 my riding weakness is controlling the wobbles. What's your pro tips about that?

    • @trubttam
      @trubttam  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That is interesting, I have only ever gotten wobbles riding on the road, because offroad is always changing and not smooth it typically doesn’t create the resonance that induces speed wobbles. Do you get these wobbles when you are braking or just riding or something else?

    • @UniFanatix
      @UniFanatix หลายเดือนก่อน

      @trubttam I get wobbles when Im braking, but I believe most likely related to my pads placement. I crashed twice because of it 😒 I have kong c3 clark pads and I didn't cut them, still one piece. They are to big for the lynx but I love how wide they are to cover my shins.

    • @trubttam
      @trubttam  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      painting the outline of my pads has been a huge help for me to dial in my pad setup, if i feel like i need it a few cm one way or another i have a nice visual reference to work with and can easily revert to my old outline if i dont like the change.

    Great video!!!!! I ride trails often and still learned so much! Question, how do you navigate through patches of mixed loose rocks at lower speeds, maybe throw in a couple of larger obstacles to slow you down even more. Is de-weighting in a pumping motion the best way?

    • @trubttam
      @trubttam  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would probably treat it almost like sand and just try to go in a straight line with some speed only slowing down or changing direction on not loose safe sections and yeah if something large is unavoidable just try to de-weight the wheel to clear it and keep going until the next safe spot.

  • @marionyeky9840
    @marionyeky9840 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hey there! Great Video - thank you!! Would you recommend a larger sized wheel (20“) for a larger person? I‘m intersted in the begode extreme with 185 cm. Or does it not matter? Cheers

    • @trubttam
      @trubttam  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Personally I would always recommend 20” size wheels, I’m not a fan of 16”, people like to say they are nimble but as you start going faster that just means squirrelly and hard to keep on track. Larger tires also roll over obstacles easier.

      I don't have the TNT, the sample Apex I'm demoing shipped with a Kenda 262. The TNT looks very similar to the Shinko 244. My lynx has a Shinko 241.

  • @BigORider
    @BigORider หลายเดือนก่อน

    How do you approach, go through and start in Soft sand patches. I can usually tell they are soft because I see the sides raised and where a wheel or footprint has gone through it already.

    • @BigORider
      @BigORider หลายเดือนก่อน

      For sand that goes around curves

    • @trubttam
      @trubttam  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Approaching sand you will went to bring your speed up, the sand is going to eat up a ton of your speed and it’s going to be difficult to get acceleration in the sand. Try not to stop in sand but if you have to do a start from 0 in sand you will typically need to creep up to speed, be ready for it to fishtail and concentrate on keeping the wheel vertical, leaning the wheel in sand is bad.
      For riding sand in a turn where the sand is unavoidable you need to turn very gently without leaning the wheel too much. You will need to keep accelerating gently to mow thru the sand and will feel almost like being stuck in a yoga pose once you hit the right combination of acceleration and gentle gentle lean angle. Get into the pose and make very small adjustments until you are back on good terrain
