Basic | skills and techniques¶
Here are the basic skills you need to master, to maximize the fun in your off-road adventures:
- Standing position
sit to relax and corner, stand up to ride - Traction
understanding and mastering traction is... well, basic, when there's so little of it - Braking
slow down, stop - can you ride without it? - Accelerating
not a must-have skill, but good, right? and fun, right? - Throttle clutch control
important - most people see the throttle and clutch as two different controls, but you're much better off thinking of them as one! - Steering a dirt bike
you got handlebars, you got pegs, throttle, brakes, body - everything helps you steer it! - Brake steering
the most common and important of the performance steering techniques. - Crossing small logs and obstacles
what, you'd rather run into them?
Advanced | skills and techniques¶
I often find that advancing requires a return to the basics and a lot more brain power than muscle power. Here are some thoughts guaranteed to improve riding.
- Weight Transfer
transfer weight to balance the bike in different situations - Cornering
well, no fun going strait, is it? - Crossing logs and rocks
well, again - what, you'd rather run into them?
