Excellent video. I’d like to add, for those who’re new to this, it may help to try their technique in second gear first and get small wheel hops mastered first before going for the taller wheelies in first gear.

I usually don't make comments. I want to let you know that I have throughly enjoyed your vids. The comedy is outstanding. I laugh constantly at your side comments. I even pause your vids just to read your disclaimers, statements. However, losing your financial sponsor because of being butt hurt. I am tired of these overly sensitive b#S%A$DS. They think of nothing to offend other classes, people. I will continue to watch your vids. Thanks for all the time you spending the time to share your talents. I hope you never go politically correct ever. You should be able to state whatever is on your mind. Screw the negativity.

+eveRide ADV thanks ty! the KLR wheelies aren't too shabby on your latest vid lol. great edit by the way, loved the cheesy music and fast cuts!

Probably one of the most useful skill vids you've made. This one is used all over the place.

I’ve always been notoriously bad at wheelies. Never really tried slow wheelies before. Lots of good tips in this video.

Thank you so much Cross training!!! I love it so much of your training!!! I always share to my friends 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Another great video! I was taught that when I compress the suspension to drop your knees instead of pushing down on the bars. You drop your knees, then push hard into the pegs to again extend your leg. As you your legs extend fully the suspension will start rebounding and that's when you apply a bit of power. Most of the guys in the video aren't doing this but watch Chris Birch. He's doing it. Watch his knees.

awesome tips and instruction. and your voice, tone and speed you talk is great. really helpful stuff, can't wait to get the bike fixed and try it all out. take care dudes!

I’ve watched this video a half dozen times and I keep spotting things I’m doing wrong. Thanks for the help!

Had this clip saved in my Favorites for some time, then finally today I decided to try the tips out. And WOW, absolutely works a treat! My heavy, seeming un-powerful CRF250 Rally popped up in the air no dramas- so long as the timing was spot on. Even lifted the wheel in second- which I never thought possible. So thanks for the tips, they work a treat- even on bikes that you think could never wheel stand.

Good vid. As usual. When my radius bone heals I need to start practicing again. Went airborne over a huge electrical spindle and came down hard. The bone snapped just before the wrist and it was the only injury I sustained. Ppl who saw it happen applauded and congratulated because it looked "professional" from the side and did not look like an accident. Alas it needed minor surgery to be set right. (:

Haha. Talking about not being able to wheelie due to a lack of power. I remeber leaving school on my old Honda Px 50. It had 1,5 hp, an automatic clutch and a max speed of 25kph.Then while leaving somebody wanted me to do a wheelie. Their faces were priceless seeing that I almost flipped the "bike" over with that little power. But stamping on those (It had pedals like a bicycle) pedals as hard as i possibly could and then almost ripping out the handlebars really did the trick. Although I have to admit that the bike only weighs only about 60 kg but remeber: It only had about 2 hp.

+CROSS TRAINING, ENDUROCROSS & ENDURO TECHNIQUES I have to get used to my throttle, it is very snatchie and it wants to fly up with very title throttle, I have 2015 KTM 350XCF-W it has lots of power and torque as light as a 2 stroke. so i will practice the different methods you mentioned.

Perfect for me, thx ;)

100% 😂 finally got past the balance point without shiting myself and could go backe and forth the point with the rear brake and gas, had to force myself to do the basics, wheel up with the right throttle power and as soon as up hit the rear brake, I used to put both feets on the ground when only coming close to the point, with a surron, so hand rear brake, and didn’t hit the rear brake, now that I have learned to cover the rear brake I no longuer drop my feet, hit the brake gently and throttle up again, now I need to learn to rock back and forth smoother and to keep right left balance, still can’t figure out how to steer while weelie

I struggle with this for 2 weeks with no luck 😂😂😂😂 but with thr kicker it's super easy. I'll keep on practicing 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

thank you very much you now have a new scuscriber. Jon

I know you guys know this but your videos are just fantastic! Especially in lockdown! I'm 50 years old, I got into trail riding about a year and a half ago and got myself a CRF250X and joined a local club here in Herefordshire UK. I've been trying to build confidence and skills and your small practical wheelie vid and the tight 'spinning' 180 turn seemed like two really good skills to have in my toolbox. I watched each vid about three or four times carefully noting the key 'dos' and 'donts'. I went out and spent two hours in a field next to my house (with permission from farmer of course!), and in the gravel on my yard for the skid turn. Full armour, boots, helmet, gloves, and water, as seemed like a good idea for a real 'get stuck in' session. The wheelie is coming really nicely and a few more sessions and I feel I will nail it. The skid turn was a great success, after building up steadily to having the confidence to use enough throttle to spin the tyre and use clutch to ease off. Amazing to be able to put your vids into practice they are so full of gen and tips, can't thank you enough. I have subscribed. Only downside is that now I'm sweating like a piglet in a blanket and the bike is filthy :-)

​@@crosstrainingenduroThanks for your reply. Yes, it's the last of the carb models (2017). I rode it at the Dave Thorpe Centre in Devon alongside the incoming CRFRX. They told me that the newer model had to have a mapping to make it more newbie friendly but my era bike is perfect for a newbie but you can grow with it as skills improve and never want for anything else. An ex-KTM mechanic told me to snap my CRFX up as they are massively in demand amongst people who know their onions. Needless to say I was told that it was many times more bulletproof than a KTM :-)

Figured I'd comment, just to say thanks. Bought a crf450x to practice off roading and stunts. Since I've had spare time, I've been doing well. Manage to keep a 2-8 second wheelie whilst sitting, standing up i get too much wobble from side to side. I also found i tend to turn the handle bars by accident which results in an brutal landing.

What timing for this vid. I was out on a ride yesterday practicing this (in what looks like some of the exact same locations on your vid) and it finally all came together. Amazing how little throttle is required when technique is required. Next ride is to put this into practice over logs. Can't wait, was so stoked to finally get it right.

Hi Ian, i saw on a thread in ADV that you fitted a 43t rear sprocket and this is what i want to do too! I am having trouble finding one for my 2017 CRF250L Rally? Have you any idea where i might buy one please? + are you still running this sprocket? The 14 t front and 43t rear sounds like just what i want! Thanks for your assistance..... PS great helpful video here thanks!...

well, you old bastards are pretty damn awesome. Thanks for all the great videos and advice. My buddy and I started riding about a year ago and have progressed beyond what we thought we were capable of in just one year. We watched/watch your videos fairly regularly and practiced what you preached. you are doing more of a service than I think you know! Anyway, enough ass kissing from me. keep it up! If your interested in watching a bunch of gumbies figure this stuff out the hard way over here in Washington State, check out my channel it would be an honor.... mostly. cheers mates!

Hard enduro seems apealing but I only have a heavy nx650 (basically the same as a DR650). Time to learn balance and wheelies, I think it will take me forever but hey, it will improve riding and enjoyment Also I noticed that being good at your own body balance or on a bicycle, helps you ride motorcycles better.
