The Tire Guy: Rich Larsen on Focus Training & the 3 Pillars of Off-Road Riding || EP.61

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