all that trials background really shines !).
After lunch , things started to build on previous tutorials . First up on the list was the rock garden . Proper balance was key , along with foot plants as Quinn increased the difficulty of the drill and added in a turn . While speed is always a key in hard enduro , having proper technique can help save time and energy . Double blips were practiced on a large log and concrete tube , with the day ’ s instruction ending with what trials riders refer to as a “ stuff .” This wasn ’ t a traditional stuff situation , but more geared towards how to get out of a tight situation using throttle and clutch control , and proper weighting / deweighting of the pegs .
Finally , students followed Quinn out to the back woods to try their hand at a marked section that incorporated all the technique that had been covered throughout the day .
