Where the hell did you find "Beta Bob"
For gods sake put him back in the closet please
Another great video mate thanks (I tried to donate to your page but it wouldn't let me do it from NZ for some reason)
Cheers Mark

thanks mark, it's the thought that counts. a few kiwis have said the same thing so i'm sure it's just the australian government blocking you kiwis to get back at you for all the sheep jokes you throw at us (or is that the other way around?). lol

yeah beta bob took a fair bit of photoshopping and it wasn't fun having to look at him for about 20 mins, but anything to keep the lady subscribers happy... although turns out they aren't finding him attractive - which is so like women, judging us purely by our looks, unlike us men who just want a woman who makes us laugh and will make us feel protected.... sigh.

Hey, From personal experience I would like to add, that I found myself struggling with paddling with 1 leg, while keeping the other on the peg and standing. Thinking about, why the heck was my ass always falling on the seat, I discovered I was simply skipping the leg day too often in the gym.

After I started to get some strength back (until able to do a few squats on 1 leg), I found myself better at going from sitting position into standing only on 1 leg...and it helped big time in the tough terrain!

THE OLD TWO STROKE VS FOUR STROKE DEBATE: https://youtu.be/PmUUxV3c_NQ

obviously a topic that has been done to death, but after a i did a silly vid on this there were a lot of questions so this is just my take on the debate with a bit of a cross training perspective.

the ultimate guide to which is the best tyre for your dirt bike or adventure bike as well as the ultimate engine oil... assuming that "ultimate guide" means the dodgiest information you'll ever come across for enduro tyres and engine oil.

obviously tyre choice can make a difference but this is just a tongue-in-cheek view on those long threads where guys say a certain tyre is crap and another one turned them into graham jarvis. maybe it's true but i haven't found a tyre yet that acts a subsitute for my lack of talent lol!

below isn't a training vid but just a bit of basic info on good dirt bike boots since i've had a lot of guys asking about boots over the past year. i'm no expert but over the years you do get a feel for what a good boot is all about, and read about the ones that consistently get the best user reviews.
