How to lift a dirt bike onto a stand - for short people

- So I did a bit of a poll on my instagram and facebook pages asking what types of videos do you guys like best or want to see more of. Many people were asking for advice and tutorials for shorter riders so I decided to start with a basic video on how to put your dirt bike on a stand. This is the method I found that works the best being a super short rider myself. It requires very little effort and works even when you don't have stilts for legs! I hope this video helps some of you out!

This literally just changed my life...
Oh so you still ride dirt bikes? .... hehe ;)
Yeah I would have never thought of this.
My 59 year old back thanks you.

Thanks from one short person to the other short person!
I'm 6'2 and will be using this technique from now on. Saving my awkward bike deadlifts for the trail.
I'm 6' and plenty strong and have to say the other method isn't easy for anyone! Clumsy AF. I'm switching to your method. Thanks for the great tip.
As a big old man 240 lbs dry with a bad back, this video opened my eye. Thanks
Never thought to do it that way. Awsome
Thank you so much! I was about to get a hernia lifting my 260lb bike onto a stand and this makes it so much easier! Got it done on the first try
that was actually incredibly helpful! I'm 5'6" and have the same issue. can't wait to try that out!
Wow. I'm 6'7 and I like the idea of lifting by the front tire with your legs
Bryce Elmore Heck yeah. It’s definitely a lot easier for me, and energy saving too!
I'm 5' 9 and ride a 450, and ive burned myself after rides trying the old school way of doing this not to mention sucking all the energy out of my body in between rides just to do this so I ended up buying a lift style stand. That said, I've looked at every youtube video on doing this but yours is hands down the best I've seen that literally anyone can do. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time to reply to specific requests. You never let us down.
This girl is bad ass! Her videos are straight forward and teach you things without all of the stupid music! Great video!
Good to see you not careening among trees, attack branches, and waist high logs! You make lifting that bike look pretty easy. I suspect your gym work has something to do with it! I have a 690 that I thought was too heavy to lift onto a stand (I use either Pitbull stands or a scissors lift platform) but I’ll give your way a try!
awesome, I just bought a 400 exc and it is one heavy momma... I will try this tomorrow. Thanks Megan and keep on showing us what you got!
Great Meg! Thank you so much. You’re such an inspiration for all of us shorties!!!😊
I'm 5'3feet tall riding in a wr155r, beginner in trail cos i just bought it yesterday. Watching many videos of putting it in a stand made me hopeless cos i lack the leverage for their method of putting it in a stand. After watching this, I gain the confidence. You are an angel. You just earned a new subscriber. Hoping for more videos.🙂
Great tip even for those strong and tall enough to do the "standard" lift. Great coverall use too. At first I thought they were camo, but nope, just well used! Keep up the great work.
Thanks Meggs for that AWESOME tip!! Works perfect for us shorter riders👍💪
Great tip!!! Thanks from "Shorty". I'm 5'2"
Erm ah gherd! This is a life changing moment! I'm going out to my shop right now to put my project GL 650 (one heavy mutha) up on the milk crate the easy way! Thanks, Megs!
Great video Megan, I never thought of lifting my bike up on a stand like that, next time I'm putting my bike on a stand I will deffentaly try that out!!
Thinking outside the box 📦
SWEET vid Meggs 🤙
Wow thanks! This will make getting it on my hauler a lot more simple and less grunt.
The real MVP. Thank you sensei for this tutelage.
I’m in love. Great stuff Meg!
That works so well! Thanks Megs! This is going to help get my bike onto the back of my car too. Simple and effective!
Oh what a great technique. My first time with a stand and a dirt bike that I recently restored and I'm struggling how to figure out how to get it on the stand with Jack stands and hydraulic jack. I thought there has to be an easier way. Voila! Thank you!!!
Nice vid! You picked that bike up like a boss!
This is a great method! Genius with the front brake / lift by front wheel. I love it!
OMG! Megs! the first method is genius!.. not just for short people, but weaker ones too ;-) thanks for the tip.
"and she's on there!" great end to a very useful video!
Hey meg I’m 14 years old of been riding motocross for 10 years but only this year iv started to get into enduro I’m currently on a yz450f and it’s butiful for enduro thx for you and all the other enduro riders for inspiring me thx Megan👍🏻 keep up the great riding
Awesome tip!
Finally!!!! Thanks Meg's 👍
I'm 5'11" and the normal way is still awkward, thanks! Your way looks much easier and less likely the get a pulled muscle because no weird twisting! Quality vid megs
Still works! This isn't a short people thing. This is just smart. Why not use your leg's to lift. Thanks for the advice!
Wow Megs, you are awesome and have inspired me to go ahead and just get a MX bike because of your videos!
Great tip, Megs. I'm a 5" 11' guy and use the same method. I'm all for making things easier.
If you have some way of locking the front brake on---like a Velcro strap, cable tie, or appropriately bent piece of wire---you can put the matrix stand on the right-hand side of the bike. This means you can lift from the left-hand side, starting with bike on its sidestand. It saves having to walk around the front whilst balancing the bike.
As for strength, we all know you're 5' 3" of power and determination. And probably stronger than half the guys watching this.
why you so thirsty?
Holy crap. Never thought of doing it your way. Less weight to lift compared to lifting by the handle near the seat/silencer which may be hot/rear swingarm and some leverage advantage also. Thanx so much.
Never witnessed this method before. Good to know.
Thanks for the video. I use it every year on multiple occasions.
Are you kidding me!? I've been wrastlin that 300 lb. DRZ of mine on the stand the hard way all these years? I cannot believe I never thought of that.....You amaze on every level possible
great video with a very valuable technique to help everyone big or small! I can't wait to try it :-)
Bloody awesome Megz.....I’m one of ppl that requested this video on your Instagram page....Thank you very, very much for making it....much appreciated. This method is a lot easier, for a midget like me, than lifting the back of the bike. Love your work!!
Cheers from Australia
PS, is Barry behaving himself for a change ?!? Haha
I'm not short and this is a brilliant way to do it. Thx Megs!
I was literally on the groups like can some strong man please come put my bike on the stand so I can just change my tire. Then I found this video thanks to a friend. LIFE CHANGER OMG! We vertically challenged can do the impossible lol
Awesome! I’m so happy it helped!
@@megs_braap Wow!!! Life changer from a 50 year old MX veteran. Subscribed from Australia!!!!!!
Thanks for the vid. Simple and sweet.
great tip.
you are a badass!
Megs you're a legend. I'm a guy and been struggling to get the bike on the stand fot yearrrrrss also 5'3" and a bit i just tried you method. Thankyou
This is so helpful, thank you!
Wow!!! I need to try this technique. Thank you!!!
How is this not the right way!?! I'm so glad I watched this, so easy now.
Wow, thanks. Works like a charm on my RUSI KRZ 150CC.
THANK YOU !!!! ❤️❤️❤️
My goodness... so simple yet I’m over here struggling doing it the tall person way. Knowing that the front tire kept rolling yet like a dummy I didn’t think of this .... smh. Great tip !!!
Thank you so much Meg, seriously. I’ve been getting pains in my back from lifting the traditional way and I have an xr100r so not even a “big” bike necessarily plus I’m 5’8” and it’s still very challenging; I’d like to think I’m pretty strong too. This is great and I will be using it from now on 👌
You’re very welcome! I’m happy to help! ☺️
Thanks for this information. I'm 5'9" which I didn't think was that short, but I was having trouble getting my 300lb Yamaha XT250 on my stand. I tried your method and I got it instantly!
How??
My crf250l front wheel won’t lift an inch off the ground…not sure what I am doing wrong
Omg thank you! ❤ I’m 5’4 with a Husky as well and I was just going to buy a step lift stand since I could not get the hip lift technique
As someone that suffers with a bad back. Lower back that is, this is probably the best dirtbike tip I've seen. I can lift my bike of course but why lift it hard when you can lift it easy! Thanks 👊
Megs--you are AMAZING--and you have a GREAT attitude/outlook on Life! I can't wait to try your (much better!) method! Be well.
Broke my wrist and have a cast on and was able to do it ! Game changer , thank you !!!
Not entirely sure why I didn't know this. Thanks!
That's a Great tip! Thanks.
Don`t have to watch any other videos on this. Great method! thanks :)
This helps me so much because now I can get it on and off the stand and even thought I’m on a 65 I’m really small
Awesome. Thank you for this quick tip. It has been very helpful.
No problem!
Learned something today.... thanks!
Good one Meg👍👍
Well, that was way better than that time you hit the tree! Great tip; I've got some kids I ride with I'll pass it along to.
Thanks for the tip I’m 12 years old and 5foot 2 and it really works
No problem!
Nice! Great tip!! I'll try that on my 650.
Love your work👍
Nice. Now I’ll teach my wife and kid and take the credit as my own! Lol Thanks!
Nice..I had never seen that technique. Agree, it's a lot better then the other technique most ppl uses.
That was great. So easy compared to how i was doing it - the typical way. Thanks!
Haha how have I never thought of that!
Good video :)
Oh Megs. Just after I ordered my lift stand. Wish I could think things through.
This was a good tip thank you.
Amazing method, thanks
Thanks I'm going to go give it a go.
Go Megs!
thank you !!! you are the best !!!
damn! Mystery solved. I often wondered if there was an easier way.
"She's on there!" That says it all!
Thank you! I was struggling
Amaaaaazing!!! Thank you SO much
Thanks for the tip 👍👍
Ive been doing this so wrong for many years, I can't believe how stupid I am, thanks little blonde girl! You helped me a lot
Omggg i didn't search for this video but wooooow new subscriber here🤣🤣
Outside the box, I like it. Adapt and over come!!!
Great video. Thanks
Never even considered lifting from the front. Ingenious! Sometimes it's the simplest ideas...
Thanks I'm going to try that.
Way better for your back! I'm 6ft and I do it your way now 👍🏻thank you heaps
Fantastic! Thank you
I'm 5'7" with a 29 inseam. Short, but I use the method you had a hard time with. pull it by the sub frame to you hip and toss it on the stand. Works well. Couldn't do that with my 450 as it was taller. I used to grab lean it on me and grab the swing arm to put it up there. Bought a scissor lift stand. Works great. Basicly I can just roll the bikes over it and lock the pegs down and jack it up to about chest high. Bought be when they were a little less than they are now. Had it for better than 10 years. A bit heavy, but still works like a champ. That is also an option if you have a dedicated garage. To heavy to carry around IMO.
Sweet!!!! Thank you!!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS. SO MUCH EASIER !!!!!
Cute and brilliant! Thank you! 😁
