Super helpful as always. I love how you pack these videos so full with valuable info. I have to replay it a few times because there's so much in each one I miss a lot in the first couple viewings. You did one a while back explaining how two different IRC tires were sized the same, but one was larger than the other due to the difference in carcass and compounds. I wonder if you could do a deep dive on tire sizing, how different size tires affect the bike and how you ride, and some tips on choosing sizes of tires based on bike, riding level, riding style etc.

Rich, as you know there are many many videos on YT about wheelies, slow wheelies etc. but they pale in comparison to the detail and effort you put into yours. I’ve watched your other videos ad-nauseam, and they have gotten me further along in my journey to the slow wheelie kingdom, but this video takes the cake. You did a great job filling in those knowledge gaps that always seem to allude me in perfecting the wheelie. Good Job man keep these videos coming!

lots of great tips but super surprised no mention of developing the REAR BRAKE CONTROL skill that is the only thing saving you from going back on your ass lol. it took me a good 3 months of practice almost every day to even start to feel comfortable catching the wheelie using the rear brake (and not pulling my legs off the bike to save myself the body natural reaction) to control the wheelie once past balance point. I feel that rear brake should be second nature before any thing else cause with out it then is just a matter of time and you will be on your ass.

Can't figure out yet when you're standing on the ground and pull the front wheel up and lock the bike in one place without using rear brake. It must be super tiny clutch adjustment to keep a bit of power to not roll forward but at the same time not to stall the bike. For now my bike still rolling forward as I press clutch too much or stalling if I don't press enough haha😂

Awesome video overall. However, as a former college physics instructor you should be aware that you are potentially headed into misleading territory with the discussion of peg pressure. A principle of physics is that internal forces do not change external reactions. For example installing a compressed spring between the handlebars and the footpegs would appear to lift up on the handlebars and push down on the pegs thus lightening the front end and pushing down on the rear end. However, because the spring is an internal force it does not work. Easily verified experimentally placing bathroom scales under front and rear tires (bike standing still). For the same reason right peg pressure does not in itself cause the bike to lean right. What actually matters is the location of the combined center of gravity (bike plus rider). In fact, in the video you noted that lifting the left foot off the peg and extending the foot to the left caused the bike to lean left (because the center of gravity shifts to the left) even though 100% of your weight is on the right footpeg. FYI, the discussion and analysis is more complicated when the rider is in the process of throwing his/her weight around (example: jerking up on the handlebars, jumping up and down on the pegs) due to dynamic affects.

Great video! I've always wondered why enduro riders don't use a secondary rear brake lever like stunt riders do. It seems like it would make certain maneuvers much easier to perform, especially when it comes to controlling the bike's balance during challenging off-road sections. It would be interesting to see how enduro riders might adapt their riding style if this feature was more widely adopted. Keep up the good work! 👍🏍️💨

Side note: I would recommend changing the lighting in your studio shots. No offense, but the low front camera angle and lighting makes you older than you are, and makes your skin tone look sweaty. I would suggest raising the height of that camera a little bit, and I would try a studio light more from the side, maybe a softer tone LED. The second camera angle in the studio looks better, I think the fisheye affect of the main camera exaggerates the size of your hands and distorts your face. Your older set up standing for the camera made your face look better. Just a thought, I ain't no expert.
