[ Ссылка ] [ Ссылка ] Time for some dirt bike philosophy again! We dirt riders are usually from the shallow end of the dirt pool but occasionally we are into deep thoughts lol. I want to talk about Richard. He bought a DR650 five years ago and after two rides around his suburb it sat in his garage. In storage. Unridden. Ignored. Alone. With no big fat sweaty arse cheeks placed on its immaculate seat. Why? Just the usual mid 40s stuff. Working hard to pay off big mortgages. Family stuff. House renovations. You know the drill. It became something of a running joke. This dirt bike channel also includes lots of wheelies, philosophy, reviews, and dirt bike fails videos. Enduro training tips are based on techniques from Chris Birch, Graham Jarvis, Tim Coleman and other hard enduro riders. So learn how to ride enduro bikes our vids range from basics for the beginner dirt rider to advanced hard enduro racing!! Would the third ride on this brand new bike occur in this decade, or the next one? Are you a beginner dirt rider? Interested in hard enduro riding, endurocross training or wheelies? Watch top trials riders like Graham Jarvis, Chris Birch or Tim Coleman. It's like poetry in motion - from a standing start they can flip their bikes in mid air through 180 degrees, or climb a six foot vertical wall... no dirt bike fails for these guys so get into our enduro training videos. A key is the use of body positioning and 'weighting' - choose when to exert pressure on the pegs and when to 'de-weight' or lift the bike up. So we meet for breakfast and he has this huge shit eating grin on his face and says 'you better sit down for this'. Want to learn how to ride dirt bikes with our free enduro training videos? Cross Training Enduro is a mix of trials and dirt riding techniques. And straight away I know that after five years in storage he has finally done his third ride. Lucky I did sit down because I am gob smacked. What brought this on? Over breakfast the story comes out. A brief slight pain in his chest a month ago. The doctor says hmm that's not good and prescribes a stress test. The next specialist says hmm that's not good and refers him to a cardiologist for an MRI heart xray thingy. And the cardiologist says hmm that's really not good. I want to operate in the next 24 hours. A major heart artery is 95% blocked so they insert a stent to prevent an imminent heart attack. The weird thing Richard still has this massive shit eating grin on his face. Why? Well it's turned his life upside down. He went on a keto diet and lost five kilograms in a month. He decided to sell his business that was slowly draining his will to live. Most trials techniques involve exact use of the clutch e.g. feathering the clutch for traction control up hills... dropping the clutch to launch the bike into the air as Jonny Walker and Graham Jarvis can do on extreme enduro racing bikes and trials bikes. The cross training enduro vids on our dirt bike channel apply the same skills to enduro bikes - you'll be amazed at the difference it makes in terms of traction and advanced techniques such as jumping up vertical rock faces ... and wheelies! Everything in tough gnarly terrain is trying to throw you off balance, so balancing lays a foundation for enduro skills for guys like Jonny Walker and Ruben Chadwick. He assessed his financial situation and realised he was actually in a good position to start enjoying life now instead of slaving away for a luxurious retirement. He started preparing his four wheel drive for some serious adventures he has been talking about for the past decade, but never gets around to doing. And he finally dragged the DR650 out of storage, and he's preparing that for some serious adventures too. And he's postponed the house renovations for a while to create a beautiful man cave under the house. Something Andrew has enjoyed for years. So while Richard is telling me this I have a huge shit eating grin on my face. Why? In the past I have talked about how if you work hard, save hard and live a simple lifestyle while you are young and energetic, you can aim to be financially secure by your 40s and have a range of lifestyle choices. Only work part time and get into your passions, like dirt riding. Or choose a low paying job you love. Or maybe not work at all for a while. he got a little warning sign. It was time to get his priorities reorganised. The work hard save hard approach had done wonders for his finanical security. But it was now time to start really living life too. And I think we all need to regularly need to take stock of our life and check our priorities, no matter how young or old we are. There is a problem though. If you are spendthrift, you aren't good at managing money.
