Consistently impressed with Josh's ability to not only ride, but even more, to correctly analyze and explain exactly what is happening and why. Fantastic.

Not just for beginners, for 20 year riders like me, worst habit is riding on my heals not my toes....great video.

Great refresh on basic skills for both beginner and advice riders. Also this guy is so smooth he could be giving a talk in the conference center in downtown SLC next month. Now it just needs to freeze or dry out so I can go ride.

I’m still pretty new to riding but have ridden a ton in the last year and have watched a lot of how to and other training vids. This one is top shelf quality. Still great reminders for me.

Fantastic video! The primer on Attack position is just what I needed as I'm pretty sure I've been doing it wrong for the 2 years I've been on dirt. Might help with some of the issues I'm having too. Thank you!

As a pretty much beginner who went on a 6 hour ride yesterday I can not stress enough “breaking to late” I nearly killed myself 2 times 1 by flying around a mountain road not realising I was on gravel with no traction and sliding within 3 inches of the edge of the cliff. 2 by trying to keep up with my experienced buddys and flying into a sharp corner and only just hitting a tree.

All good points to practice, even for more experienced riders. Flming nicely done. Clearly shows what is being explained.

[ronanrogers]

Wow! That’s impressive advice...and Josh is super articulate

Excellent video. I got a lot out of it. I know you mentioned it, but I always drive home the point that you need to look where you want the bike to go. I see a lot of guys focusing on hazards and then running right into them, rather than keeping eyes on the line you want to take. Keep your eyes on the line and that's where your front wheel will go. You also have to look as far ahead as you practically can.

As a new dirt bike rider all I can say is - THANKS! This was another fantastic RMATV/MC video. I learned a lot and I'm now going straight to your website.
