We can show you how to ride dirt bikes using enduro techniques and dirt bike skills. There is a much greater need for the short practical wheelie to get you over obstacles on the track.

How to wheelie an enduro bike? A common issue is riders saying their bike isn't powerful enough, or it is too heavy, or they lack the strength to get the front wheel up. Or they say the only way to wheelie their bike is by dropping the clutch. So, how to wheelie a dirt bike? This vid tells all! If you are really having trouble how to wheelie an enduro bike, try using a kicker first. These vids provide an intro on how to ride dirt bikes with heaps pf free training vids. Many of the riding techniques come from Graham Jarvis, Chris Birch and other top extreme enduro riders to form the concept of cross training - a blend of trials and enduro techniques.

We also believe it's critical to learn covering your rear brake. If you have good clutch control and balance, try this technique from a standstill after you learn the basics of how to wheelie.

The same principle applies for wheelies when sitting down, although it's harder. Remember the whole key of the small practical wheele is good technique. Trials riding doesn't appear to have much in common with dirt riding as much of the action happens at walking speed or even slower - but the balance, precise, traction and clutch skills help with enduro riding, especially for extreme enduro. This not only reduces your speed further for wheelies but stores extra energy in the forks to lift the front wheel higher.

A final note, as your wheelie technique comes together it will also become important to be able to land your front wheel when and where you want, for techniques like the double blip and punch method of crossing logs.

Does all of this sound difficult? But keep practicing as we know from experience there is always that breakthrough moment when it all comes together, and it opens the door to a whole pile of advanced enduro techniques. The growing interest in extreme enduro has seen a resurgence in trials riding riding internationally, and many dirt riders are now joining trials clubs to improve their overall skills for basic dirt riding or hard enduro events and endurocross.
