    Worth the purchase

I was skeptical at first regarding how much you can learn from descriptions in a book as opposed to from Youtube videos. After going through 30% of the book I have to say buying this was worth the purchase and I love to use it in combination with well made instructional Youtube videos.

    This guy is as full of himself as he is bereft of teaching skills, sound advice, and a vision of sustainable off roaring.
  

*by N***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 26, 2016*

I bought this book to help my girlfriend understand the mechanics of riding a motorcycle.  A few days later I asked if it was helpful. She replied that she was more confused than inspired by Gary LaPlante. So I started reading his book. I soon realized that any braggart can publish a book if they boast enough about their past accomplishments.  And then fool enough people into believing that their stories are not only true, but provide a role model that all should aspire to.The author does spend a lot of time thumping his chest about how great he is was this sport. Mostly in the past tense. And mostly to make irrelevant or illogical points.  He also goes on at length about how much fun it is to go out and tear up the dirt and cut fresh tracks. With no regard as to who the land belongs to and what damage he's inflicting to whatever ecosystem he's trampling over.  I often find this attitude attached to people who are proud of their ignorance and who bully those who don't share their poorly thought through urges.What LaPlante does seem to do well, though, is fail to deliver the details and mechanics of actually riding a dirt bike.  In short, the content of the book can be summed up as, "Do as I say because I know more than everyone else about dirt riding. Oh, and if I've forgotten anything important, it'sso obvious that you'll figure it out."If this guy was really one of the best in the business he wouldn't have to point it out. His work would speak for itself. And if he were that famous I'd have heard of him before I picked his book out of Amazon's hat.  But his work doesn't speak for itself (at least not I a positive way). And I hadn't heard of him before,  probably for good reason.One of the most disagreeable aspects of this book are the author's countless  assumptions  that readers will understand the reasoning behind, or relevance of,  "insights" that the author starts thinks he is explaining when in fact he is muddying the waters. Any time I read  "Obviously",  "Of course", and similar constructs, I had to wonder if this guy actually believed the garbage be was spewing.  If the truths he attempts to teach readers are so self-evident, no-one would need to read a book about the topic.  The fact is, the book contains few and far between universal truths precariously connected to one another with a flood of narrow opinions used as filler.For example (and to paraphrase), "Only a fool wears boxer shorts while riding. The reason should be obvious".A good instructor would either explain why it's a bad idea to wear boxers, or focus on important things like technique and practice drills.  Which I personally have found more useful than harping on about one's underwear preference.For the record, I've been riding for 40 years. While I have found that wearing a thin base layer of synthetics prevents chafing in hot weather and delays frozen nips and nads when it's cold, whether you want to wear whitey tighties or a tutu is less relevant than learning how to (mostly) keep your butt off the seat,  stand on the pegs, lightly grip the bars with a relaxed and neutral stance, and steer the bike by gripping the gas tank between your knees and thighs.In truth there are many more skills and techniques to learn and practice endlessly until they become muscle memory. You can find great resources on how to master riding off road. Just not in this book.Although I have no affiliation, you might check out the free PDF by David Petersen at BestRestProducts .I don't know David and don't profit from anyone's products or publications. We all benefit, though,  by fostering more knowledgeable, talented, experienced. courteous, and eco-friendly riders out there. Otherwise this sport will be outlawed on public lands by the time our great grand kids are born. And that would really suck.
