Who is Rich Larsen

If you don’t know who Rich Larsen is and you ride Singletrack Enduro then I’m not sure what rock you have been hiding under. Just kidding, but seriously… Rich Larsen has an incredible Youtube Channel with more training videos than I have ever come across on any other Dirtbike Channel.

 

https://www.youtube.com/@IRCTireUSAMoto

 

As a former Endurocross and Hard Enduro athlete, Rich has focused solely on perfecting his form to minimize energy output.

 

Competing and finishing in the top ten of Pro Hard Enduro races, has required an obsessive mindset when it comes to his training.

 

This obsession has also helped him focus his ability to communicate these techniques to beginners and advanced riders alike.

 

Teaching the art of Technical riding has became his job for the last ten years. Doing private lessons 3 to 5 times a week. As well as group lessons around the United States.

 

Teaching thousands of riders not only technique and form but also the proper progression behind each technique, giving each rider an easier path to success.

 

He’s taught groups as large as 20 and done seminars in front of groups of hundreds. Hoping to translate the language of Motorcycles for all ears.

 

His passion for teaching grows with every lesson, and every new technique his students as well as he learns.

  • BALANCE
  • BODY POSITION
  • POWER DELIVERY AND COLLECTION

* The clinic fee covers Rich’s fee, T-Shirts, Food (Lunch and Snacks) Obstacle purchases and Construction, Porta Potty’s, and maintenance/building trails.

Our goal is to help host, cover our costs and provide an awesome source for the community and getting more people into riding and feeling confident on their dirtbikes out on the trail!

Greg SouthGreg South ★★★★★ J.P. met us at Eddie's Cafe (eat here), promptly at the scheduled time. He took an appropriate amount time to familiarize us with the Velotric E-bikes and show us some good trails to ride on. The bikes were in great condition. We would definitely rent from them again. But after our enjoyable experience today, I think we will buy some 😉. If you are looking for a place to try E-biking for the first time, I would 10/10 recommend Flathead Outdoors.Response from the ownerThanks so much for your review Greg and for renting from us. We live getting people outside on bikes and always happy to help. Hopefully you get a chance to come back! Matt HarperMatt Harper ★★★★★ JP at Flathead Outdoors was very helpful in acquainting us with our rental ebikes! Instructions were helpful, complete and covered safety in an excellent way.

Looks like it's time for you to get your 300! Melissa CrumrineMelissa Crumrine ★★★★★ On lakes, we usually go with motor or canoe but wanted to try out a raft... it was nice!

Hit us up if you are ever back in the area.

We appreciate you and your family choosing us for your ebike needs! 🤛🤘 Catherine RowleyCatherine Rowley ★★★★★ I have been to Glacier NP many times, but my favorite experience was riding the EBikes with Flathead Outdoors! Kyle set our family of four up with two Ebikes, a trailer, and a tag-along bike. WE LOVED IT! Not only was the scenery breathtaking, but we were able to stop and explore areas that you aren't able to when the road is open to vehicle traffic. There is so much visibility and the fresh air is exhilarating! The Ebikes performed perfectly and we were able to make it all the way up to Logan Pass. This is a MUST DO if you are in Glacier before the GTTSR opens! Kyle will take great care of you!Response from the ownerThanks for the honest review Cat! We are so glad you and your family enjoyed the bikes and ride! AJ AyalaAJ Ayala ★★★★★ Absolutely a must when visiting the area!

So glad ya'll were able to experience much of the park this early that is closed to vehicles. You guys were awesome! nathan makernathan maker ★★★★★ Great guy, awesome bike. Went out of his way to accommodate my (changing) travel plans. Low key, no BS, down to earth, and sincerely wants his customers to have a great time. Will do business here again. Thanks Kyle.Response from the ownerThanks Nathan! I appreciate your review and for choosing my business to get you out experiencing the Flathead Valley and surrounding areas! Ron JarvisRon Jarvis ★★★★★ I had a great day on the trails. I'm pretty comfortable riding technical singletrack trails on a mountain bike, but riding with a 'dirt bike' motorcycle was over the top fun - and challenging too! Flathead Outdoors has first rate gear and equipment. Kyle was a really good (and patient) coach and he cheerfully helped me out of a couple of jams. I learned a lot during our ride.I loved it so much I'm shopping for a dirt bike!Response from the ownerThanks Ron I had a great time riding with you and I'm looking forward to more shred sessions with you.

Thanks!Response from the ownerThanks for the review Bryce I appreciate it man. Sorry we weren't able to get you guys hooked up. Next time! Lilly Lomica-GreeneLilly Lomica-Greene ★★★★★ Kyle (Flathead Outdoors owner) saved our Glacier National Park Stay. We weren’t able to drive up Going To The Sun Rd due to flooding. We last minute decided to rent bikes to drive up and Kyle worked with us to get us his last two bikes for the day. We had an absolute blast! The E-Bikes were a way better option than a regular bike, they get you where you need to go 5x faster. Well worth it, and Kyle is a stand up guy. Rent from Flathead!!!Response from the ownerThanks so much Lilly! I'm so glad you all were able to ride the Going-to-the-Sun Road and check out all the beauty here and your trip was a success. 👍 Stephanie WilmothStephanie Wilmoth ★★★★★ Kyle was so helpful getting us set up with E-bikes last second during our visit!

Chad HenryChad Henry ★★★★★ We had a great experience renting e-bikes from Kyle and riding Going-to-the-Sun road in glacier.

It was a blast!Response from the ownerThanks for your review Chad and I'm so glad you guys were able to squeeze that in and have a good time in Glacier! Jill Campbell PerryJill Campbell Perry ★★★★★ We rented 6 ebikes last weekend to ride GTSR before it opens to cars. AWESOME is the best description! The bikes were in great condition and had plenty of power for our various ages and ability (28 to 70; haven’t ridden in years and ride all-the-timers). Kyle and JP were SO helpful and friendly. The bikes are a tad heavy—I think all ebikes are, so just be prepared to use some arm strength when unloading them! We are looking forward to renting either the ebikes or dirt bikes in the near future, and will most definitely rent from here again. These guys are The BEST!!Alicia EdgarAlicia Edgar ★★★★★ We were traveling from across the country and wanted to ride into the mountains for our vacation. Kyle was super helpful, very responsive, and helped us figure out all our plans both while we were on the other side of the country (planning packing and gear) all the way to giving us routes to ride and informing us about the area. We definitely plan to come here again and try out the snow bike tours. We rented the Tenere 700, and our ride was in April while it was still pretty chilly so he lent us extra padding and protection for our hands and bodies from the cold. Very positive experience and would highly recommend if you're looking to rent bikes in Montana (we drove 3 hours to go to his shop)JD WilliamsJD Williams ★★★★★ Kyle is a awesome dude! Customizes the trip based on your experience. He knows the land and is very knowledgeable about the surroundings! 10/10 would recommend for a memorable experienceJosh GrahamJosh Graham ★★★★★ Extremely nice and helpful!Jerry AllredJerry Allred ★★★★★ What an awesome experience these bikes are! If you've never tried one out you need to try one with Kyle. Kyle's a great instructor, patient, great communicator and you can tell he loves what he does. If you're coming to the Flathead valley this is a must do on your bucket list. You will see the country from a whole different perspective one that you can't get any other way. The e-bikes are awesome, looking forward to trying the E dirt bike. Jerryjs_loader
