mryder Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I'm on the look out for a DVD containing a few pointers on what I should be doing when riding. I've tracked down a few useful websites but I'm after something with a bit more content & tips to help me improve. I've been riding about a year, so I'm trying to make the step up from beginner. I've seen the Ryan Young DVD advertised; but at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectionone Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I highly recommend the first Ryan Young Training video for learning the basics. The second Advanced one is too hard for me. I can't do most of the things shown and I've been riding over 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialanderror Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Hi, Steve Saunders cotswold way is a fantastic video ( might be available in dvd now ) to learn from, or even better do one of his schools. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g14gav Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I have the whole steve colley collection and it was very helpful when i was younger. Also entertaining too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betabro Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I find the first Ryan Young DVD awesome, an invaluable piece of training kit. The second one is more for advanced techniques, still excellent if that's what your into. Or just great entertainment and showing the uninitiated what the bikes can do.

kickstart101 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I grew up watching the steve colley videos /dvds very good fun to watch and you can learn allot from the man too. seeing him jumping off a double decker bus on one video was pretty good. Would recommend them to anyone, novice or expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mryder Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 The first Ryan Young DVD sounds good - what is the specific title? I was looking at a couple of RY dvds and they have very similar names. Can anybody recommend a good shop to get it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betabro Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 'Trials Training Techniques and Cross Training Tools' is the first one. Advanced Training Techniques is the second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lselph Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 What kind of things are covered in the first video? I been riding dirtbikes for what feels like forever and have spent 5-10 hours on my 04 290 so far this year and a training video would be great but I don't want it to not challeng me?

betabro Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 It covers everything. Maintenance, Setup, Stance , Balance, Turns, Wheelie, Double Blip, Zaps and Splats along with lots of other tips. I've ridden dirt bikes for 30 years and learned more in a few months from this DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowellsyboy Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 the first ryan young dvd is excellent and well worth the money. Bought it when i started last year and it taught me loads. Keep an eye out on ebay. The advanced one has a really good part in it about practising sections and how to build up sections difficulty bit by bit as you improve. Well worth a look even if it is really advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruffchris Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I just tried to search for the Ryan Young DVD but the only place i could find that was selling it is in the US. This vid sounds good, so could someone pls let me know where to get it from in the UK. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mryder Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I've decided to order mine from motomerlin.co.uk (based down south). Got a note saying they are out of stock with more comming by the end of the week (I'm waiting to see if they're going to be good to their word).
