This technique and loading the flywheel are probably the two things you tought me that I use the most. Every rider should know this technique, save the trail!!
Great video (as usual). I already use a lot of these techniques, and I didn't even realize it. Especially the ratchet technique that you spoke about. I never really thought about some of them until you pointed them out. I guess it's a good thing that they're second nature. I've also learned a few things. Thanks for sharing your knowledge sir 👍🏻
LOL been there and done that a few times in WA... Gotta break that seal in the mud, I find tilting the bike back and forth as much as you can helps a ton. Been stuck so bad in a mud lake bed, had to push the bike over and drag it sideways out of the mud lake. You'd try to pick up and be over knee deep in the mud yourself, was a nightmare!
I’ve tried this technique and it is difficult, I sat in hole that a tree left when it fell over and tried it. I almost had it! That small victory felt pretty damn good 😊
I'm on my third year of riding also I am 56 years young. I followed a bike that fits me perfectly in 2022 KLX 140 RF The height is perfect wondering if I'm wasting my time with this four stroke wondering if I will ever be able to be able to do some of these stunts because of the low amount of power it puts out any insights. Spare me the two stroke antidotes please thank Paul
Can you make a video on how to get traction on wet rocks or tree roots, in general I find myself needing help from someone pulling me for the front tire or with a rope and I kinda feel bad being the one slowing down everyone and having them help me get up a hill or me getting tired super fast into the ride and because I’m so tired of fighting with the bike that even when I make it up on my own I barely able to stay on my bike and I can’t help them like they help me thanks
Balance (and body position) clutch and throttle control are huge. You probably use your clutch way less than you should be to control wheel spin and engine rpm.
Ģreat! Please make a video for 450 enduro riders. I love my bike but is so heavy and every body says a 250 2t will be more expensive to mantain and also harder to handle. Please some advise I'm riding a wr450f. I have a pro mtb downhill rider background but I'm still novice on dirtbikes
I’m 63 and have done numerous competitive events over the last six years on four different WR450’s and I’m so tired of wrestling with the big thumpers that I have ordered a brand new GASGAS EC300, “on Rich’s glowing approval of the model” for all upcoming competition. The big bore 4strokes will be used for recreational purposes only, going forward…so to speak.
Most if the time there is room to find inches. The same techniques are used to get unstuck no matter the lack of momentum. Obviously there is a point where lifting you bike is required but 99% of the time I see riders use there strength over technique. Technique trumps all.

Coordinating all the controls is a bit like playing drums, with each hand and foot having its own thing to do. It actually may be harder because right hand has two things, and if you count holding-on and steering, then three for the right, two for the left. Also, holding on and steering require power (gross motor skills) while clutch, throttle, and brake require finesse (fine motor skills) ALL GOING THROUGH THE HANDS. It’s easy to forget about the feet with all that going on. Just like the drums, nothing but lots of lots of practice will make all this coordination possible. Waitaminute… does this have a connection to the intro music??
Hahah…. I may or may not have been a percussion major…. The coordination is exactly like playing the drums. I may or may not have recorded all the parts of that intro myself.
If you don't want to get stuck in the first place you need an IRC VE33S Gekkota Gummy rear tire period. Simple. End of story. I'm sure someone will "try" to correct me however they are very wrong. Moving along...
Awesome info man been riding 40 years and I'm learning so much and the best part is my kids can learn the right way thanks!!
Right on!! Pass it on to the Kiddos! 🙌

I’ve seen you do it brotha!! 🙌
Loading the flywheel is big time useful. When I remember to do it. I gotta build better habits. 👍
Is loading the flywheel needed on a 450? I'm afraid to kill myself if I try on mine? Lol
@@MrLdvo Yes works on every bike and is fun 😀
Fantastic advice from Rich!Thanks
May sound silly but I love how rich speaks calmly and softly, unlike so many people on YT
What a great video! I'm looking forward to trying this on my Goldwing!

Definitely saves the gummy’s!!

Excellent tip!
Thanks!
This guy is great
Thank you
Wicked video I'm about to buy my first trailbike @250cc 4 stroke just a mild bike and dial in the skills
Vert informative as usual. Thanks. Hello from the Trench Alors...
Thanks for watching!
Great tip! It would be cool to see this same tip for muddy conditions where traction is low.

Great video and a super useful skill. It's amazing how much difference having just one foot on the pegs makes.
So much movement!!

Where in Utah are you filming most of this video? It looks gorgeous!
Utah is awesome no matter where you go!
Just in time! Always muddy in western Alberta during May long!!
A perfect technique for the mud!!
Good tips! Although I was half expecting to see stuck, as in mud up to the axles stuck. Also a very energy consuming situation!
We don’t get a lot of mud in Utah! I wish!!

@@GTisRule I bet, That stuff is the worst mud too. Like axle grease and peanut butter, weighs a ton and sticks to anything!
After watching this video I can't use the short leg excuse. 😆
Very informative as usual, Rich. I will definitely be working on this skill
Hammer down, glad it was informative end helpful!🙌
You obviously don't have my 26.5 inch inseam. 😛

I see the white fender on your Beta, what brand did you go with and it's it better than stock? Lol just broke my rear fender on my 21 300 RR.
These videos are awesome, but the real lesson is that these skills take a ton of practice and time commitment!

Im going to try this on my Tenere 700 because I have dug more than a few holes with it :)
It will work!

Think you’ll be back to Wellsville this year?
I’ll be back in Ohio for the 4th round of the US hard enduro series. 👍
Belive me I need that 😂
We all do!!
I’m sitting here stuck in mud right now
what if i cannot back out? Got stuck sometimes on the tires section and no way to move back or forward :)
Most if the time there is room to find inches. The same techniques are used to get unstuck no matter the lack of momentum. Obviously there is a point where lifting you bike is required but 99% of the time I see riders use there strength over technique. Technique trumps all.
Does this also work on slippery roots?
It absolutely does but we need a higher focus on low RPMs and clutch control.

Just go around the rock
I’ve ruined a nearly new JX8 by getting unstuck the WRONG way 😁

@@IRCTireUSAMoto No way!That’s awesome 😎
Great technique...im no pro but i can see other riders as you explain try to muscle and throttle out of these conditions...makes me cringe!
You make it look too easy, curious, do you ever fall?
All the time!!
Algorithm comment
😂 thanks
@@IRCTireUSAMoto oh no, thank YOU…genuinely, you’ve been pumpin’ out some good content man, thank you

YOU are very wrong, thinking you will never get stuck at all, straight up delusional, period.
