Almost all of the best extreme riders are former trials champions. Balance in your dirt bike riding also means you can spend more time standing on the pegs in tough terrain instead of sitting down, so you will have far more control. Point your toes in so that your ankles grip the bike. This should naturally lead to gripping the bike with your legs when needed. This means you won't have to hang on to the bars so tightly, so your upper body, arms and hands won't tire as quickly. This positioning makes the transition between standing and sitting easy, with maximum control of the bike during the transistion.

Getting into trials riding... Losing traction is a cardinal sin in trials riding and riders go to extreme lengths to ensure their tires don't slip. Body positioning and weighting are fundamental skills in trials, and watching top trials riders will help with positioning. This will be harder on your quad muscles.

BODY POSITION FOR STEEP HILL CLIMBS?
Rough rule of thumb? As it gets steeper you are still in the default position but just squat more to lower the centre of gravity. Or if sitting on the seat, slide forward. Leaning over the bars is only for when it's very steep and must be done to avoid a backflip. I base this on training with Chris Birch we did years ago. Other enduro trainers may disagree of course...

Thanks for all the great info, I fitted my KTM with Steg pegz and bought some Gaerne boots and what a huge difference! No more arm pump!

سلام، بسیار سپاسگزار هستم بابت این همه فیلم آموزشی ک در کانال گذاشتید.

[desertghost]

Great advice Barry, I've been watching your videos for just over a year now and have been working to apply what I've learned. I have noticed how much your quads get worked when applying better riding posture. Glad I started working out more and dumped 40 lbs. It gets a little easier each time out. Now I just need that new X trainer ... Thanks alot for your videos!!

[tccalvo]

Just been out for a ride this morning and practiced the standing attack position. Felt really good and secure at speed when I was practicing flat corners, and the transition from standing to sitting flows smoothly. These last couple of vids and practicing the techniques has firmed up my resolution to upgrade to my next bike now. I just cannot find a way to lock my knees into the KDX to provide a stable anchoring position with my legs on hillclimbs, which I need to be able to do to take the strain off my arms. It seems like the bike shape is all wrong where I want to be able to grab it with my knees. I'm hoping I'll find other bikes better shaped in that regard. Will miss the sweet 200 when it's on the pipe though, love the way it runs.

I noticed that around minute 3:10 your elbows are low and looks like you are flat footed in the pegs!!! but great vids,

[patfitzgerald]

great info the best I've come across so far.

[HooKerzNbLo]

love your videos man. I've learned so much for watching them and I've been trying to put a lot of what you teach into my riding. It's really been paying off and I can feel some serious gains. It's only my second year on a dirt bike but I'm quickly falling in love. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

[squidjuice]

Great video, very helpful, thank you

[iotran]

Awesome video, very well explained. Could you do one about tight cornering on gravel at medium/high speed? Thanks!

[fredman]

For practice and exercise, I suggest laying on your back and have a 'buddy' lower the bike upside down on top of you, hands to bars and feet on the foot pegs.  Start by holding the bike in that position (arms and knees bent of course) and then move onto doing presses with legs and arms.  You should drain the gas tank first, otherwise you get the gas spilling all over you.  You need a friend that sticks around too because the only way out of this is to drop the bike on it's side, and none of us want that!

[actstuntcam]

This was ridiculously helpful :) Steg-pegs sound/look interesting. I have been mentally trying to design something like this. I used to like to put a foot back on the pillion peg when doing stand-up wheelies - this might be a similar fix. Will research steg-pegs :)

[Millermacs]

Lmfao I love seeing these cheeky Dual Sport riders (I own one I would know) that stand vertical all the time and think they have magical traction because of it. Great vid.
