The Art of Trailriding: 33 lessons designed to improve your riding skills

You can ride a dirt bike, but do you really feel comfortable on it, and confident that you know how to handle it in any situation? In The Art of Trailriding, author Paul Clipper, former staffer at Dirt Bike magazine and past owner of Trail Rider magazine, digs into his 40 years of off-road riding experience to explain in simple terms how your bike works and what you have to do to gain control. Clipper all about proper set-up, and then goes on to carefully details what to do and what to expect in specific riding circumstances.
"I was never a super-fast racer," Clipper claims. "Although I did make it up to the A class in enduro riding, I was maybe the slowest A rider on the line. My advantage, and my great joy in riding, was the ability to examine what I was doing while I was doing it, and also to watch other riders and take apart exactly what they were doing--right or wrong--and know how to explain it all. Honestly, I learned how to do that by listening to, and learning from, Gary Bailey and a number of other off-road teachers. It's not rocket science, but it's tricky. You have to learn exactly what your bike can and can't do, and then find the body position and throttle and brake control that will deliver everything the bike is capable of. My goal in this book is to point out that you can do all this and be perfectly comfortable on the bike. All it takes is thinking about what you're doing, and the willingness to practice your skills regularly."
The Art of Trailriding contains 33 lessons on how to improve your dirt bike riding skills. Reprinted from the original series featured over a three-year period in Trail Rider magazine, and published here for the first time. This e-book includes over 30 photos illustrating the techniques discussed.
