Ajouté le mer. 10 sept. 2014 Sport Rectangular HD

The not-so-secret reason behind the success of Graham Jarvis, Jonny Walker, Taddy Blazusiak, Andreas Lettenbichler and almost all the top hard and extreme enduro riders - they were all expert trials riders and use cross training techniques from trials for extreme enduro and endurocross riding. Other former trials riders include Paul Bolton, Alfredo Gomez, Cody Webb, Ben Hemingway, Dougie Lampkin and David Knight. Watching top trials riders like Graham Jarvis, Chris Birch or Tim Coleman is like poetry in motion - from a standing start they can flip their bikes in mid air through 180 degrees, or climb a six foot vertical wall. A key part of moves like this is the use of body positioning and 'weighting' - choosing when to exert pressure on the pegs and when to 'de-weight' or lift the bike up. Most trials techniques involve precise use of the clutch, such as feathering the clutch for traction control up hills or dropping the clutch to launch the bike into the air as Jonny Walker and Graham Jarvis can do on enduro bikes and trials bikes. Cross training enduro applies the same principles to enduro bike - you'll be amazed at the difference it makes in terms of traction and advanced techniques such as jumping up vertical rock faces or massive logs. Everything in tough gnarly terrain is trying to throw you off balance, so balancing lays a strong foundation for enduro skills for guys like Jonny Walker and Ruben Chadwick. Trials riders can balance at a stand still for as long as they like. Cross training has a strong focus on being able to balance on your enduro bike, even at a stand still - this is a handy skill when you have minimal run up to your next obstacle. Getting into trials riding... Losing traction is a cardinal sin in trials riding and riders go to extreme lengths to ensure their tires don't slip. Wheel spin and slides look great but in most cases mean you losing control of the bike to some extent. The top extreme enduro riders will only lose traction deliberately for certain techniques, such as locking up the rear brake to line themselves up into a tight turn. Cross training enduro means you will almost always be standing on the pegs and learning how to use your body weight and positioning to maximum effect. Cross training enduro is the application of trials-based skills to dirt riding, and it's got solid backing from the world's top riders. Graham Jarvis says "Going fast is the easy bit. It’s going slowly that will help you develop control. Simple riding exercises which are actually difficult to perform can give you a lot of control", while according to Taddy Blazusiak, "Want to be faster off-road? Slow down! Try to be as calculated, calm and precise as possible". Like almost every top extreme enduro rider, Graham Jarvis, Jonny Walker and Tim Coleman came into the sport from an expert level trials background. "You can pick up tricks on an enduro bike pretty quickly if you’ve done trials because the skills are there", according to Graham. "With my trials background, I never had to practice tricks on an enduro bike. "Not surprisingly, trials skills are most easily learnt on a trials bike due to their light weight and size.
