Keep up the awesome vids Ty. 🤙🏾

@elijahfinister5463 3 года назад

A good way to get really good is to let out the rear brake fluid so u have no rear brakes and just slowly practice with your front brakes that's what I did and over a couple months I got super comfortable with my front brake and it's made me alottt faster in all areas it was a trip. Be careful though and ride at ur own comfortable speed or it could go really bad. Good luck 👍

would you mind breaking down the gear shifting in the breaking drill and when approaching a corner? In the drill do you downshift before you break or should you practice in a single gear? I feel like mi doing acrobatics on my bike coming up to every turn when I ride in the gravel.

Noob here... So when you brake, you don’t use the clutch? You just let off the throttle and hit the brake? How come that doesn’t stall it?

@TheMxFactory 6 лет назад

If you go slow enough and hit the brake without the clutch, it will stall it. So the clutch is necessary. But if you have speed, you don't necessarily need the clutch to brake. It depends on how fast you are going.

@TheGuyWhoAsked72 4 месяца назад

How do you know when your front tire is gonna wash out

@iamonfire92 6 лет назад

There mustn't be any "set up zone", all mx is only acceleration and braking. If u're not braking, u accelerate. Also u didn't shift gears while braking. So when u teach, u have to teach properly from the beginning, yes, while ure teaching u will just roll the corner, but as u get more experienced u have to cut this "roll" as much as u can.

@TheMxFactory 6 лет назад

We will have to agree to disagree sir, there will always be a “set up zone” it doesn’t mean it will always be real long but there has to be at least a 1-5 foot roll in order to get the bike to lean. When you’re on the brake the bike wants to stand up when you’re on the gas the bike wants to stand up. So there has to be a “fall zone” where you’re off the gas in order to get the bike to lean to the proper height depending on berm or rut. Note: some riders I.E. top level pro riders are extremely good at braking and leaning at the same time to minimize the amount of roll time needed. So there are some cases where there is very little “set up” time. The average rider will likely never experience that and shouldn’t be taught in a way that will create frustration.

By the way, I have a Yamaha Raptor 700RR and If I press the rear brake without pulling the cloutch the engine just die, so I missing quite a lot of engine braking (and the big engine provide a very good engine braking), so im a little comfused since you said in the video we should use the 3 brakes at the same time (front, reand and engine) but at some point I need to pull the clouth to prevent my engine die or not use much the rear brake. It so different from dirt bike to Sport ATV on braking staff or im doing it wrong? Any help will be very much appreciated. I will practice the braking exercises for sure in my next ride!

@dominicw8868 2 года назад

Im uh watching this video because last time I rode my rm85, I tapped on the rear brakes ( I think) and the bike literally spun around in a 180 and I was on my ass, my bike was facing the direction I just came from. Part of me thinks it’s because the tires were in terrible condition, the rear tire is bald asf, the front is old as hell with dry rot cracks. Another part of me thinks my rear brakes are too “touchy”, as soon as I apply rear brake pressure my tire locks up instead of gradually slowing me down. It might be because I recently upgraded from an 04 drz125 (drum brakes) to a 08 Rm85 (hydraulic brakes). It might be because I’m extremely inexperienced, but most likely it’s that I need to get off my ass and change my tires and get some more seat time. If anyone spent the time to read this I appreciate it lol, I love that lil 85 (:

@mechanixandmurica2145 5 лет назад

Great videos - thanks for all the time ya'll spend making these things. I am trying to change my riding techs, working on a lot of practice drills and thinking about what I do on the dirt bike much more than I used to. I am a little curious, some other instructors (eg Gary Semics) talk about drift sliding on the setup going into a turn. That application was for a flat turn though . . . . . , did you not mention this technique because you had a bit of a rut to put your wheel in? Interestingly Doug Dubach had a really well thought out video on flat turns, and he did not mention the drift slide on braking either. But I have to think that drift slides (slight) and the appropriate application of front and rear brakes are relevant. Thanks

This is wrong. In the set up area you should be applying breaks but not as hard as in the break area as this gives the most traction and allows to enter the corner faster, and then whilst breaking get your leg out and release break simultanously giving appropriate amount of gas

@bobloblawblaww 6 лет назад

The goal is to go from braking to gas, and I've heard others (Doug Dubach) say that the key is the coast that occurs when you first sit & enter the turn, just before you gas it. A set up process. What are your thoughts on the two methods?

@TheMxFactory 6 лет назад

The goal is to always reduce coasting time. Either be on the gas or the brake, or a little of both. Now in reality that's very tough to do in every single corner, but having the mindset to do so is key.
