DVD Reviews of The MSF Dirtbike School
DVD Review: For new riders or those who need review
Summary: 4 Stars
Everybody has to start somewhere and if you didn't grow up around motorcycles this is a good start. It cover's all the basics and would help someone going out to look at bikes at a dealership or who wants an overview of what skills are required to operate a bike. The drills are the standard for learning control. The tape won't replace a hands-on rider course, but is way better than nothing or having a try buddy teach you how to ride.
Learning to ride on dirt is the best way to learn about tractionand avoids the biggest dangers to new riders, the distraction and IMPACT of traffic!!!! It's better to have a few scuffs and bruises than to get totally ERASED! The survival skills you learn in dirt are all transferable to the street. One last thing - buy a Dual Sport Bike which will work on easy to moderate trails and is street legal - you will never regret it.
One error that stands out, as previously mentioned by another reviewer. Do NOT stand on the balls of your feet on the foot pegs. Pegs should be in the arch of the foot, allowing use of brake and shift lever.
DVD Review: Back To Basics
Summary: 2 Stars
This DVD is great if you have never, ever ridden a motorbike before. However, if you have some experience and are looking for a DVD that can give you a bit more assistance with getting down the basics of riding such as braking, cornering and so, this is not it. While the DVD does cover these things in some small way, the vast majority of the hour long presentation is spent on things like getting on and off the bike, learning the controls, getting the bike moving and so on.
Good for a complete novice but not for anyone who has ridden for more than a day.
DVD Review: Beginners only
Summary: 5 Stars
Halfway through the video, you finally get on the motorcycle. I can only reccommend this to someone who has never riden a motorcycle. If you already know how to ride a streetbike, this will be a waste of time. Another video, "Dual Sport Riding Techniques " is much more helpful if you are streetwise but dirtfoolish.
DVD Review: Preview of MSF Dirtbike School
Summary: 5 Stars
I gave it a 5 star rating as an inexpensive beginner'S DVD. My son, 11 years old at the time, watched it before going to the Dirtbike School. For relatively little money, it helped him feel more comfortable at the school and get more out of it.
I recommend it for:
-Kids learning to ride dirtbikes
-Parents teaching kids to ride dirtbikes
-Anyone learning to ride a motorcycle
-Street bike riders thinking about riding in the dirt
For someone who's been riding dirtbikes a while, Dirt Wise with Shane Watts is a better choice.
DVD Review: Safety First
Summary: 5 Stars
A Must for inexperienced riders or those who would benefit from a yearly refresher. Big benfit for my 11 year old son who is not near an MSF sanctioned facility. Safety first!!
