this has been my problem. now this video really helps me to understand what the bike is doing with that knees in front. thank you MXFactory!!!! the best!
Great video guys! I’ve been struggling with this exact issue and didn’t understand it until watching this lesson. Appreciate your work! Hope to get a lesson in person soon.
Greatest vids on RU-vid! Thank you all for all you do at MX Factory to help keep us safe by making us better riders! Do you already have or can you make a vid of - how to jump and land on a 35 or 45 foot table top. Landing short on the flat and then building up confidence to clear the full length and landing on the downside. Thanks again! You guys ROCK!
Totally agree with the positioning. Experience of riding bmx jumps, I tend to bend my knees forward. Thanks for pointing out the difference on bike positions.
I feel that I just made my double twice as big and now it's about a 20 foot gap and I had a bad landing on my buddies bike now I cant bring myself to do it on my own bike. I should've never touched his bike being his was a 2stroke and mines not it gave me a bad feel nothing against two smokers
This is singularly the most straight forward answer I could have hoped for. It also answers why I (and others i watch) get sideways on this one dry not watered track and the steeper and watered tracks i have no problem.
Hey Tyler, I know that you just moved up to a new place and as you were developing it, do you happen to have a videos of how you made those dirt jump ramps? we were planning on doing ramps on a small backyard lot and it'd be a awesome if you can make a video on how to do it.
Thanks so much. I never was able to explain why this sometimes happened to me so bad. Nobody was. And mostly at the end of training. The reason is very probably my "weak" back. I can´t hold my upper body in position and my knees automatically going forward. Finally cost me my collarbone and scaphold. Thanks, now I know what to practise!! Awesome. Funny you didn´t see it before...
Thanks so much for these vids... just got 4 dirt bikes for me and my 3 sons. A 70cc a 110cc a 140cc and a 189cc. When its rainy and cold, what a great video series to hone their skills and get to enjoy using RU-vid!!! Thanks so much for what you do! The clutch video, the jump video, the shifting video!!!! These are exactly what we needed to ensure some confidence and motivation!!! Almost ready to hit the trails!
Ive been riding my entire life. Including road racing professionally. And I still find myself watching your tutorial videos 🤣. Thank you for the content. I do actually catch myself saying, “ha, I didn’t know that”.
I'd love tips for jumping when there's a concave face, or when there's a lip at the top of the face. The bike tends to kick the rear up cause I'm afraid of the bike kicking the rear up.
Hey MXF!!!! I really enjoy your videos and I want to thank you because of what you have done!!! Because of your videos, I’ve been able to jump my dirt bike for the first time this past Saturday!!!! Thank you for all you have done, and keep up the great work!!!😀👍🏼
Thank god i found your vids. Today i did my frist ever jump and i almost went sideways to the ground like you showing in improper form with knees in and back end going sideways. After i hit the jump it felt like i was still going on ground (very weird feeling even more weird than hiting a wheelie). Got few meters of air time but landed siedeways and did whole ass drift back and forth with almost bailing it but managed to stay on the bike. Next time i try this technqiue on same jump with same speed.
I wish I had some smaller jumps. My local tracks jumps are pretty big but the track is barely taken care of so it sucks. My family doesn’t have enough property or money to make a small track either. Thanks for the tips though!
Please make a Video about How to corect the bike in the air. So when you‘re jumping straight and the Bike moves in the air unexpected to the left/Right or to the Front or to the back what is the best way to corect that Greetings from Germany
@@joeleadbitter1564 Why should he shut up? He is right to some degree. Whenever you throttle out in the air, your bike will straighten a bit but it will also tilt backwards. But if you want to correct the tilt forward you should tap the rear brake instead (Don't forget the clutch when you use your RB in the air, because you will kill the engine otherwise and that can cause you to fall over in the landing)
You should cover off on acceleration going up the ramp; do you maintain speed or do you rev it? Do you attempt to land balanced, or on the rear tyre slightly? Otherwise great video thanks
When i was racing i was also flagging yellow course working to so i see all the funky shit yall do made me wanna do a beginners motocross school just some basic safety related stuff some of us extremely more experienced folks learned an needed to share...if not we could just sit around an giggle at u an nit care.....
the first time i jumped my crf150f, i caught my ankle on the kickstand spring peg and ripped a huge hole in it. now, 2 months later, i’m hitting the same face using these very techniques. goes to show that these people know what they’re talking about.
Thank you for this video. I was just at budds and landed sideways knock myself out and knocked my tooth out. I’m going to rewatch this video over and over until I can get back on the bike.
SO Tyler... I'm in Michigan and there is lots of sand and every track has at least some... Obviously cross rutting happens and it's bit me a couple of times. I want to know if you do a break down of how to correct the bike mid air upon the event of a cross rutted "unintentional whip" as I don't whip at this point. well intentionally that is. Ha ha. Thanks!
Does the added weight, or weight distribution of a dual sport like the CRF250L change how you would position yourself, or manage the throttle on a jump? Not sure if it matters, but it has been re-geared to torque more like a dirt/trail bike. Love your videos, thanks!
I was at the track yesterday and on my last 4 laps I kept getting swapped up off the lip, and when landing. A couple times it almost wrecked me. I was thinking that I was getting tired and maybe not gripping the bike with my legs or something. Turns out I did my last 4 laps on a completely flat rear tire and I didn't realize it.
I was able to get a real good instructional video on jumping i think tyler has one hes a good jumper...but once i learned the basic mistake that almost everyone was making jumping i was a lot more aware of what i was doing when i was landing an that really got rid of a lot of tje fear if not all of it...what i noticed later on my own was how a particular supercross rider was moving on the face...how he did a forward move an a little acceleration shift rear from natural throttle an then back to thefront again for landing an the rear move again from gas on landing...it really helped me keep weight on the fork an shock so that i kept the bike level the way i wanted not letting it have a jack in the box moment as my suspension guy called most of his customers just clueless we all been there unless u went AMI at daytona motorcycle school...peace to u no peace to u no peace to u....jk
Any tips for riding whoops? I haven’t seen any videos on that yet and it seems to be the thing that puts me in the dirt the most. Especially a whooped out corner.
When you hit the top of a jump and your bike is airborne, do you stay on the throttle just the same as when you were going up the jump or do you let off throttle and hit throttle iagain right before you land?
If 6'6 on a 125 an i find dificult to grip the bike with the knees and when i try to straight the knees my head is located above the front fender. I dont what to do!
I made my double about twice as big as it use to be now it's about a 20 foot gap and my 4stroke bike was broke down for a while so I was riding a buddies bike and I had a bad landing being I didn't know how to ride a 2stroke all that well. Now I cant find it in myself to hit the jump with my own bike. Why? I'm to paranoid
I ride my dirtbike like I ride a bmx bicycle. My stance is the same and it works for me on big an small jumps. Somtimes its simple an we just have to go back to the basics an add more balls. #hope this helps someone..
