From our 50+ enduro training vids at http://www.crosstrainingenduro.com/ How to 'leg paddle' your enduro bike through extreme terrain if you are an experienced dirt rider, or simply how to paddle with your legs whenever you find the track challenging! This is an important extreme enduro technique to add to your dirt bike skills at any level of experience.

The popularity of extreme enduro, endurocross and hard enduro events has led to cross training - trials skills blended with dirt riding on enduro bikes. Subscribe to this Youtube channel for enduro techniques, endurocross training and dirt bike skills such as leg paddling... in the worse terrain you will sit and paddle with both legs. Remember all the top extreme enduro riders use this technique, like Chris Birch here negotiating one of our nastier rock sections. When you stand and paddle, you can also do this at speed because the foot is only briefly dabbing to maintain your balance, so it's great. All the best enduro riders They are all former trials champions who applied who have applied trials techniques to their dirt riding skills to tackle some of the world's toughest extreme enduro events. This also lets you weight and deweight the bike to get over obstacles. A handy technique in deep ruts is to wheelie the bike through. You will need to sit on the bike. Then either sit further forward or lean forward to keep the front down. Remember to keep weight on that rear wheel. Move from standing on the pegs to paddling with one leg, then sitting and using both legs, and back on the footpegs again. Trials riding may not appear to share much with dirt riding - much of the action happens at walking speed - but the balance, precise, traction and clutch skills help with enduro riding, especially for hard enduro. As your overall riding technique improves, you will find yourself needing to paddle less and less. Basic balancing exercises can make a massive difference here. The growing interest in extreme enduro led to an upsurge in trials riding riding internationally, and many dirt riders are now joining trials clubs to improve their overall technique for basic dirt riding or hard enduro. You'll be amazed at the tough terrain you can get through with leg paddling.

Thanks for this entertainment and tips I love watching your vids!

Wow, being featured in the disclaimer is bitter-sweet! On the one hand I'm stoked, on the other hand I can't show my mates who's dickhead behaviour I referenced. They watch your channel, but don't know my youtube ID.... I might have to start posting under a different account now, to throw them off the scent.
Regarding the paddling: I am the unsolicited, unwanted coach of the afore-mentioned dickheads, at whom I scream "Feet up! Stop paddling! NO! NO! NOO!" in scenario after scenario as they put both feet down to paddle, break the rear loose, come to a stop while spinning the now-deweighted rear like we're at dirt summernats, before toppling over and tumbling down some bank or steep climb with all the grace of a soggy biscuit crumbling into that cup of tea in which it has lingered too long. All while blissfully unaware of the handy hints I'm screaming at the top of my lungs due to the volume of their loud pipes.
At the end of one day of particularly self-righteous lecturing and screaming on the topic, that cruel mistress, Karma, prodded me one small step in the direction of enlightenment, when after having smugly ridden 3 of the dickheads bikes up the gentler side of a gully they couldn't get themselves out of, I came across a section in which suddenly I too, yes me, the mighty one on a dual sport 250 with fucked forks and bald tyres, found myself paddling like a hissing, Muscovy drake who's spotted a vulnerable, timid child holding a half-eat sandwich on the edge of the duck pond. And then I'd come to a stop. Why was it so? I KNOW that paddling on steep climbs deweights the rear and brings you to a stop, but after all the advice I'd been dishing out here I was doing it too. I believe to address control of paddling, you need to go back a step to the fundamentals of body position, balance, and throttle control. In this section I was railroaded into deep, long ruts, I couldn't direct the front wheel much so my body positioning and balance weak spots were exposed, and down came the feet.
So to the newbs who can't get their feet off the ground on climbs, practice more rough terrain on flat ground, learn to throw your body around in order to allow the bike to take more of its natural course given its current momentum, and you'll be better able to give the occasional shove with just one foot, or keep your feet off the ground altogether.. -
Класный обзор уважуха тебе , я вот тоже видосы на скутер тематику пилю , можешь по смотреть у меня на канале

keep up the great work! I

I find the best way to get through hard terrain is wear a fat man suit and pin it 5th gear wide open. It usually works.

Great! you are addressing real world techniques..that everyone does in technical trails.. I think there is a sense of embarassment that paddling through ugly sections is a technique.. but it is.. and if one doesn't do it and then does it then one knows. There's also a sense of timing and anticipation with where you will dab and maybe even push off.. and it's reading the terrain to judge what to do..there's a conscious preplan to where each foot will go sometimes.. at least that's the way it works better for me.. Something that may seem so simple isn't... especially to do it and do it with not expending much energy....smoothly with momentum. Thanks for posting!!! for all of us that ride the ugly trails it just makes sense to address this. great tips!!!

It's a good idea to replace the piston return spring whenever you lube the muffler bearings and change the air in your tires. They all should be replaced or lubed whenever your installing an aftermarket powerband too.

this is completely unrelated to your vid,but I was wondering if you knew had any tips for someone whos bike floods really easy(I'm aware your not a mechanic)just got a 2009 ktm 200 and if I don't open it up a lot it floods really bad after awhile,for example yesterday it flooded it took me all last night and this morning to get it going again had to drain the carby clean the exhaust out and all,i mix my fuel at 50 to 1 and the manuel recommends 60 to 1 but it still smokes A LOT the way I'm running it,i don't have the recommended spart plus witch is a NGK BR8EG but ive ran a NGK BR9EG and a ngk BR8ES with no great results I knew you had a 250 exc and was wondering if you had any similar problems? I enjoyed the vid also man awesome stuff

Be sure people understand that running around with your legs in the splits isn't the way to go about it either. I used to know a guy who every time he would approach a hill or obstacle, he would immediately stick his legs out to paddle even on hills where if he just stood up and hit it would've ended a lot better. Dabbing to me is a last ditch effort to keep my balance but its definitely useful.

Oi, what happened to your voice? I can't not take your videos seriously when you talk in a regular voice!
Nice video! -
Nice technique and video as always. It would be fun to make some zig zag technique video on steep hill climbs
-
Seriously,, Who is the knuckle dragger that disliked this vid?? I thought it was great because I am a huge fan of the occasional foot dab! Left, right, left n all........... But, dont dab in deep water or you'll get wet socks. Can you shoot me your front goldentyre specs? They make a few more tyres than i expected!! Tried a back tyre and I was very impressed with the grip. Can't wait to try that big fat front.

Cool video. Don't read the comment below.

3:32 FACE REVEAL!!😂

Ok, so my go to move of deploying the stabilisers and sitting on the seat as I come up on any hard terrain is not the correct technique???

The snow is starting to melt here in the mountains of B.C. Canada, I went over the bike on the week-end and Sunday I hiked a huge treed hillside that we have been riding to route find the best route to the top, I want to link to another part of an area we ride.) I can't wait!!! Chain saw work for dead fall is next! A few more weeks and it should be time to ride it . It is steep. I am a gumby...ish. And I am 5'8" and 54 yrs young!! But I have borrowed Gene Simmons' boots so I am ready!!! (: The bottom or first half I have finally done without dabbing, the next section will be paddle baby paddle!!!! Another great vid Barry, damn you ride well!! Cheers!!

That last Hill climb

How to grow 5 more inches to reach the ground on a 250, lol

Broke my ankle but I'm still watching and crutches will help me get my upper body strength up

Make sure if you dab at high speeds your knee isn't locked as you want you're leg to pivot backwards as you move forwards, if you lock your knee it could cause a serious injury.
