Haha all the vet rider comments…. 😂 I’m a vet rider about to do my first enduro in 2 weeks! Took a 20 some year hiatus but I’m hitting this head on now! Appreciate the content! I need all the help I can get!
@@SeatTime hell yeah! Come on out it’s an awesome place! I grew up riding out here but have been out of the game for quite a while. So stoked to get back at it.
I'm looking forward to working on this with Cole. The one thing I have done to save energy, since I am not a 'whoop master', is to try not to ride straight through the deepest part. If possible, I try to move to the side of the trail some where they're smoother and not as cupped out. After that, we need stiffer suspension and bigger balls to drive straight through those MF'ers.
Just came across this. Thanks so much for the tips. I’m a vet rider and just wanna get smoother and safer. Love riding track and trails. Never stop learning.
Heck Yeah! I try to talk about learnings I'm having within all my videos, even the race recaps. Hopefully you can also find those nuggets helpful. Enjoy #GettingSeattime & Stay #Stoked! 🤘🏻🤙🏻⚡️
Cole, good point on the aggression perspective. Personally I can go faster but my conditioning/fitness is holding me back. What exercises would you recommend in order to increase the strength, fitness and conditioning needed to be harder on the gas, brakes etc?
A rowing machine is great and also setting up something simple like an exercise circuit in your garage can go a long ways. Do push-ups, squats, and mountain climbers in sixty second intervals. This builds strength but also gives you a good cardio workout. On the bike, you can work on doing higher intensity motos to start pushing yourself to get comfortable with the effort required to ride faster.
Cole brought up some great points about body weight movements. Done at relatively high intensity, you don't need a lot of weights to get the heart rate up and the blood flowing. If you want to do more with weights, utilizing EMOM's (Every Minute on the Minute) for set reps is a great way to ramp up intensity, but also not need to go all out. Lastly, if you have the time and money, Enduro Method is perfect for this. Their app based training is purposefully built for off-riders like us.🤘🏻🤙🏻
Typically the best training for any type of sport is doing the actual activity. The best exercise you can do for dirtbike is actual riding the bike. Don’t get me wrong, Cross training can help as well but nothing will improve you’re riding more than actual riding.
Been noticing a lot of pros ride on the arches of their feet. Chris Birch responded to my question and he says he does the same in tight windy tracks to save time getting foot to brake. He also admitted this is not proper technique but necessary for speed. This is my current struggle, among others.
I spend time forcing myself to ride on the balls of my feet. I do this so I get the feeling down, and it becomes more second nature for the times I need to be on the balls of my feet (i.e. rocks). As we start racing, we need to utilize our 'doing brain', not our 'thinking brain'. Technique work while not racing starts to work those techniques into our riding naturally during 'doing brain'. The more we have to think, the more we're pulled out of a flow state. There are many struggles we can focus on. Pick the one you think will give you the most growth. I love practicing technique during a 10-15 minute warm up before leaving the van.
@@SeatTime This time around my two biggest takeaways were to more consistently check my suspension settings, including sag, and to simply do more dedicated drills like corners with ruts and accelerating / decelerating through chop and bumps. Very underviewed vid here!
I love taking the drills and making them my warmups; Lets the bike and body get going. 10-15 minds and you're primed for #GettingSeattime! Also, any ideas on how to get more views?!?!?
@@SeatTime I don't really know. You have excellent production quality and the videos are great. Maybe make sure your maximizing details in the metadata such as description, tags, and title. Your thumbnails are great too so I don't really know where any improvement can come from there.

BAD ASS! Make sure you check out our Enduro 101 video as well [just in case]. What race are you doing?!?! WELCOME BACK to #GettingSeattime!!!!
@@SeatTime I’ll check it out for sure! I’m doing the Mosteller Ranch Enduro out here in Wyoming. 👍🏼
AHHHH man, wicked! I'll ride in Wyoming one day for sure!!!
@@SeatTime hell yeah! Come on out it’s an awesome place! I grew up riding out here but have been out of the game for quite a while. So stoked to get back at it.
Advice on hitting whoops/rollers please. Especially irregular spaced whoops out on the trail.
We’ll get to work on another video focused on this.

Id rather be slow and crash than check my sag more than once a year :P 0:30
HAHAHA, keep up the good work!!!!
Another tip, sell the Sherco 😅
😂 proper noun is "sher-can't"
Tip #5...be Cole Kirkpatrick.
🤣🤣🤣
Great video guys!!Cole is the man!!!
Super nice dude and pretty darn fast!
We Concur, Cole is DA MAN!
Excellent advice, thank you.
Heck yeah, glad you found it and that it was helpful!
Loved it, great session
Thanks! 🤘🏻🤙🏻
That was good stuff man
Thanks! I've been putting into practice for the Enduro season this year and it's been helping a ton!!!

Thank you both for the tips. I’ll give y’all a shout out when I’m on the podium next race 😁

@@eastwood111 100% correct
Great content! What is the MX track shown at 6 minutes in Cole's video? His 956 ?
That’s correct, 956. Cole is just so stinking smooth!!!
Awesome video ! Thanks for posting
🤘🏻🤙🏻 Heck yeah, thanks!
Great video! I was able to get some take-aways from that so thank you both!!!
Right On! Let us know how you progress as you begin to work on the techniques.

@SeatTime Thanks for the reply and good advice. Keep posting these great videos bro!
You got it! 🤘🏻🤙🏻⚡️
Dont let your foot touch the ground in turns. Quikest way to srew up an ankle or foot. Good video.
or knee....
No one wants a trashed knee or ankle from it getting caught on a rut or tree stump.
Had to watch this again. So much good advice!
Hell Yeah!!! What did you take away the second time you missed the first time?!?!

Thanks! We had fun making this one!! 🤘🏻🤙🏻⚡️
Great info!!!
Thanks! We had a lot of fun making it as well. That’s like a double rainbow! 🌈🌈
