Hey guys and gals! Here are 5 drills that you can work on that will drastically improve your riding skills! These drills are all slow speed and are based around CONTROL and BALANCE. I hope these are helpful to you!

Clutch Pops

Practice getting your front wheel off the ground using your clutch and throttle. The idea is to use as little throttle as possible for the most control. You’re looking for little to no wheel spin, and a low RPM. This is not what you’re looking for. There’s too much wheel spin and the RPMs are too high.

Wheel Placement

This next one goes hand in hand with your clutch pops. Work on your precise wheel placement by picking a log and trying to place your front wheel 2/3 of the way up the log. This skill will help you to learn more advance techniques and will be extremely handy out on the trails. Try this on different sized logs. The smaller the log, the more difficult this is.

Static Balance

Practicing static balance will directly affect your riding out on the trails, I can promise you that! You will see the results very quickly and it will translate into better technical riding. You’ll also start to save a lot of energy if you can keep it together and stay on the pegs through the tough terrain.

SLOW, FULL LOCK Figure 8’s

Practicing your figure 8’s is a great way to work on balance, clutch control, throttle control, and braking! The slower and tighter you can do these figure 8’s the better! Start with a loose figure 8 that you’re comfortable doing, then tighten it up until you start to struggle. Then work from there to eventually get your FULL LOCK FIGURE 8. Full lock means your bars are fully turned and you’re on the stoppers in bother directions.

Balance Beam

The balance beam drill is a fun and challenging way to build better balance. You can use logs, 2x6s, or even 2x4s. I like to start out by just riding across. Then you can up the difficulty by slowing it down or by stopping half way through and then continuing on.
