In todays episode of the WannaBes Mobcast we are talking with Rich Larsen, the IRC Tire Guy and enduro training coach about how to improve your riding skills and techniques to help make you a better rider. Rich has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he brings into this conversation having trained thousands of riders from professional racers to weekend warriors. We talked with Rich about the basics of riding and techniques that you need to master as the building blocks that will help you take on larger obstacles. As with his own channels and the videos that Rich produces for the @IRCTireUSAMoto  channel, Rich gave us all the details and tricks that he uses with his students when he is training them. Of course, this is no substitute for actually going through a training program with Rich but it is a great start to help you know what to practice and why. We talked about Rich’s background and experience in racing and how he got into training other riders. We then talked about techniques ranging from static balance, body position, throttle and clutch controle, braking, and more complex skills like the double blip. In that we also covered a lot of mistakes that most riders make in all of these techniques and how to help correct those errors. We also cover bike set up and a few things you can do to help improve your riding experience. It won’t come as any surprise that for Rich Larsen “technique trumps all”. With that being said he did have some great advice for tire selection, gearing, sag settings and so on that you need to get right so that you are staring from a solid platform. If you are based in the Utah area we would definitely recommend that you take a class with Rich where you will learn fist hand not only how good a rider but also teacher he is.
