We had the honor to chat to Rich Larsen, known as “The Tire Guy”. Rich has been coaching offroad skills and clinics for almost 10 years and as a teacher has gained invaluable experience and expertise in the field of offroad riding. In this episode we chat about his 3 pillars to riding and the main mistakes we see riders making when riding and offroad bike.

A big takeaway from our discussion was how pro riders differentiate themselves from good riders and their ability to implement focus training. While many of the top riders have trails backgrounds it is noteworthy to discuss how this conditions a rider but on the other side it is becoming obvious that junior riders are training specifically for industries like hard enduro.

We end our discussion with a focus on mental strength and how heading into a race is more about mindset. Rich shares his own experience on a recent accident that shifted his mindset and has set him on a path that he would choose again if he had the chance.

We’re excited to share this chat with you and we hope you enjoy the episode!

Welcome to the ADD GAS channel where we cover all things off-road. Subscribe for new episodes every week.

In this episode we talk about the Abestone Hard Enduro race which was round 3 of the Hard Enduro World Championship and took place in Italy. Organised by rider Michele Bosi, this race gave fans and spectators everything they were looking for, from riverbeds to boulders it was a weekend packed with action. We say Billy dominate by winning all races and showing Mani that there is going to be strong competition for the rest of the season. A rider who had a standout performance and race was South African junior, James Moore who we invited into the podcast to give us a riders perspective of the race.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Welcome to the ADD GAS channel where we cover all things off-road. Subscribe for new episodes every week.

In this episode we discuss what the ISDE is, which by the way stands for International Six Days Enduro. The event as we know it has been running for almost 100 years and is considered the olympics of off-road motorcycling. We do a deep dive into how this events has changed and adapted and discuss which countries have dominated over the decades.

This is a very unique and iconic race that pushes riders and their machines to the limit. 6 days of racing, 3-4 member teams and almost 1500km of racing all to put your nation on the podium. This is a true example of world class competition but also genuine camaraderie and sportsmanship.

We learnt a lot about the ISDE in preparation for this episode and we hope that you enjoy it.
