been off the forum a bit due to throwing myself into trials riding lately. but been back on the FE570 and working at applying the trials techniques used by all the top extreme enduro riders - graham jarvis, taddy blasuziak, jonny walker etc.
been working on cross training techniques with one of our trials club members who became australian junior endurocross champion recently. we've put together this info on techniques and slowly starting to add vids, if anyone finds it useful. i think most husaberg riders are very experienced but there still might be something useful in the advanced techniques.
