  • Awesome video Rich! Showing the people you don’t need the latest and greatest to get it done. It’s all about developing the skill through consistent practice. Bravo!
  • Excellent topic! Not everyone can buy a $12K machine. This will help grow our sport too!

    Lots of folks shutting up right now while they scratch their heads and try to think of new excuses why a "crappy" bike just did what they swore could only be done with a KTM one million. It's always been rider, rider, rider, rider, bike. Nice display, homie.

    Unreal the value of content this channel gives us moto heads. Thank you!
  • @jondoe4667
    I like how you include the footage of your attempts,and when you get nervous. Some people only show the successful shots. But in real life we all get nervous,and have to try things over and over before we get it down. 👍🏻
  • Great video. You just proving what I always tell people. 90% rider. 10% hike.
  • Love to see that it's not the brand, the farkles and the price, but it's all about practice, skill development, trial, trust and overcoming fear ! Look forward to seeing the average, everyday bikes as well as the latest and greatest.
  • The Man The Myth the Legend So cool to see you show it’s all rider not the bike. Your instructions and descriptions on how to do things get better and better with every video so thankful for everything you do for the sport
  • Great vid with the KLX230R! I’m a new rider at 47 years old. Bought a 230R earlier this year along with (2) 140RL’s and a 110RL for my 3 boys. We’ve been having a blast riding trails around the Midwest. I’d love to see more content where you really wring out the slow & mid speed techniques with these trail bikes. My boys and I don’t have much interest in moto tracks…. we want to conquer deep woods trail obstacles! 😊

    The control you have is insane! much respect!
  • A long awaited Video - highly appreciated. After 2 1/2 Years on my small KLX 140 grinding my Basics, I can say with absolute Confidence. “98 % of the Hobby Riders are not able to outride this Bike”. I would say it is even better than than the 230, if you are not taller than 180 cm, because it is about 15 KG lighter and has a Carb for very smooth running. You can upgrade it later on with a good Mechanic to about 190 cc, put a 11 Tooth Front Sprocket, and have an Hard Enduro Tractor to go up steep Mountains and rocky Terrain. And afterwards you have to face the next excuse after having decent riding skills, which is the lack of fitness to handle it - lol.

    This is so cool,. I have a KLX230. My first bike. I'm 53 and been riding for 8 months. I just purchased a KTM 250 XC-W, thinking I needed to upgrade. Looks like I will continue riding the KLX for a while too. Probably didn't need the upgrade, but my ego got the best of me. So glad you made this video. You may have just helped many people save thousands of dollars.
  • Very nice video, super relatable thanks and keep them coming!
  • @evopwrmods
    Always appreciate your get right to it content. No bs fluff just rider education, learn so much by watching your guides. Much appreciated...

    I personally love my KLX230. It’s my slowest, smallest bike I have ever owned, but it’s my favorite I have ever owned. Almost 12k happy miles since May 2022.

    Have I been waiting for THIS! It's my bike! Though mine is actually black, I have the KLX230ABS bought here in Sweden in the end of 2020. It's what I started with at enduro school untill they told me I need a 350 KTM or I'll break my KLX. It's like you're borrowing my KLX230, showing what it can do. It looks and sounds so good, and that higher idle gets lower once the motor gets warmer. There's a little servo that keeps adjusting the idle rpm automatically so that noobs won't flame out (I'm kind of a noob). But you look so cool on the bike, Rich. I'm so happy that you bought the KLX230. Keep it, never sell it!

    Hi Rich, that was a really good video. Great display of skills. Great job sharing your knowledge. Really enjoyed it. 👍🇦🇺

    Great video! I picked up a 23 klx230r to have fun on. It's a cheap, simple, easy to maintain bike. Hope to see more content with this bike, just subscribed!
