Joe, the reason for standing as opposed to sitting is the simple fact that not all trails are going to be flat. Once you get a little more comfortable, you're obviously going to go faster. When you hit ruts and bumps sitting down, it'll have a tendency to almost pop you off the bike. When you're ripping down a trail and you hit those bumps, your legs will act as shock absorbers and prevent you from being thrown from the bike if that makes sense. Awesome stuff only wish I was there with you guys
won't lie I'm at the beginning of the video, but noticed you hopping from pavement to dirt, I'm not sure if you have adjusted your tire pressure for running offroad but lower pressure will help you feel more comfortable. Less washing out feeling. Also speed helps with that...I'm also a bit more timid in some of the fast turns still. I am newish myself. Stand when going across uneven terrain. Grip the bike with your knees. When I'm going across flatish stuff I'll sit. If I see some rocks or braking bumps I'll stand up. I start off standing in climbs and if it gets pretty aggressive I'll sit and won't really get back up standing. Standing came later for me though. Getting used to the bike first you will eventually get more comfortable standing. None of this is a real critique btw it's all just information that helped me. More seat time is really all you need. Get it girl.
Thanks for the tips man appreciate it! The recommended tire pressure in the owner's manual is 15 I'm running 13 front and rear I'm not sure since it's my first dirt bike what's safe to go down to without being tubeless, I worry about getting flats also. Get it girl? Lol 😘
those trails look really fun dude
Yea its a nice little spot for sure!
Great ride buddy! Enjoy the journey!
Thanks bud, can't wait for our ride with leapin Larry and the tdub next week!
Awesome stuff!
💪🏻
Practice is the best teacher. You're aware that bike is illegal on pavement.
practice is the best teacher. yes it is an offroad bike but AZ allows to be register on road to get to trails. 1 benefit of living here lol

Thanks Ed! I'll get there!
You are doing really well for only a few hours on a bike.
Thank you!

Im in Arizona and looking to buy a dirt bike soon. Where is this? This looks perfect to learn ride on dirt.
Ive been riding street bikes for 10 years, and now have the itch to ride some dirt lol.
