Hey Tyler, I been practicing this technique and I can tell you that is almost done… I have everything.. body position and so on.. now I need more gas to complete that… but so far, so good.
I was looking forward to seeing this video after seeing you guys on live stream please dont forget to make the rear wheel steering vid you guys are the best on youtube
So happy you guys are uploading more you guys have brought me from the worst rider out of my group of friends to one of the most clean and fast riders out of us 🤙🏽
This is one of many things that will help me be a smoother and more efficient on the bike. I’m trying to prepare myself for years hoping one day I could get back on the bike. And when I did, maybe I can accomplish my simple dreams of just being on the podium or even getting a trophy because I’ve never in my life barely ever got top 10 and I didn’t know anything about riding really. As time went on, I realize that and now it’s just something I want to prove to myself that I can do it. It would just mean the world to me because the sport was ripped out from underneath me before I never got a chance to ever be good.
Hey guys, really thanks for this video, you guys are making really quality content ! Scrubs (and whips) are something i can't really figure out :( I have no problem jumping straight even big jumps (100 feet + ) or seatbouncing , but when it comes to scrub even small jump i'm lost. My biggest problem i belive is, that i'm not leaning enougt on the face of the jump. I was trying to do so, but i allways end up being almost straight on the face and then even when i trying to turn the bars down, i end up jumping straigth with bars turned do the side like an idiot :D But couple times i did a little scrub, just trew the back wheel to the side a little and went little lower and faster, but was no near annything you did on the video. That "scrub line" explanation helps me understand it a little better so next time i will try that. I feel really comfortable on my bike, maybe it's just mental thing, i don't know. Could you give me some advice how to work on this, or what to try to improve my "jumping with turned bars " ? :D Thank you guys ! Ps. make more how to videos, those are the best on youtube
Andrej Halek I have the same problem you do. I can jump stuff no problem and I’ve raced my entire life and would consider myself to be an Expert level rider but I’ve never learned to whip or scrub. I’m sure I have the bike control and skill to do it but can’t figure it out. I also don’t feel like cranking the bike sideways to try and learn something new and then hurting myself.
2:30 ''suspension deflects outward'' ... instead of launching the bike and you 'upward'. Great explanation. The scrub apparently came out of BMX, and had been used for many years in RC Racing.
All credit goes to James Stewart, he gave us victory in staying low to the ground to be faster. Thanks James, you are an inspiration to all who ride dirt bikes
Wow. Good explanation of the scrub! Best I've seen. Its hard to put into words because it's so natural on the bike but you did a perfect job on this vid. Wtg!!
I'm fascinated by this move, based on my enjoyment of it on a snowboard. Watch the leg motions in here, it's not all the motorcycle suspension. (legs most extended/flexed through the maneuver)
The suspension is not “adding speed” when scrubbing. The only thing scrubs do is make you jump lower. This results in two ideals: 1. The rider can come in with more speed without overshooting. 2. The rider can land quicker minimizing airtime, putting the tires on the ground quicker.
These are great videos, all of them. But how do you begin to practice it? There has to be a way to start with a baby step, then build on that. Otherwise, you try the form and hope you correct in the air? Any advice would be great
Practice over round mounds of dirt. For instance, don't jump a double, roll over the face then scrub just the landing part. If you practice scrubbing without actually jumping, you'll start to get the technique down better. Basically it's challenging yourself to see how fast you can hit things without actually jumping them. Hope that makes sense :)
Great video! Watched it last night, at the track today. It was a lot of fun to practice your techniques, still look like DEVLIN when I'm on a jump:)) but at least now I have direction on what to practice. Thanks again!!
I would have liked to have seen the shoot-out at the end with the non-scrubber on the outside line where it is easier to maintain speed and momentum. The scrub would still be better, but the result would be closer. Scrubbing is a milli-second technique that pays off over the course of a moto.
Damn I wish I could of gotten into this sport when I was younger ! Just trying to jump feels so panicky to me ! I always get scared i'll land on the front wheel and dive head first ! Love the sport though ! :)
Very detailed video, I feel that if you demonstrated smaller scrubs in the video as well as the banger that you were throwing the whole time it would give a little better of an explanation for the people who “have been jumping straight” the whole time. Anyways great video definitely got a like from me
If you watch the slow mo version of the scrub. You see that right as they leave the face of the jump their body position is a lot like what you'd use to go through whoops. I feel a lot of how to vids don't explain this part. The bike actually goes forward out in front of the rider. At the same time your upper body leans forward to compensate. This allows room in the cockpit to move the bike. And it counters the loss of rear end rebound. Often if you're in the wrong position the bike come off nose high. The back of the bike is not compressing as much. But my point has more to do with that split second as the bike is catching air and leaving the face. Watch closely. The body position changes drastically. From neutral to an almost whoop like body position. And every video I see, instructional or not, you see this. But no one explains it.
The second thing to consider is that flying does not apply for propulsion. Getting on the ground sooner means your power can go down sooner as well. As for the gain Tyler saw in the latter half of the video, that's due to the different trajectory more than anything else. More of Tyler's energy was directed forward than up.
hate to break it to ya in 90% of cases your right... but when it comes to rhythm sections.. sometimes more area covered at once in the air is quicker... momentum is the key term. if i quad quad and you double double double double. ground time means nothing.
+Jacob Schepp Sweet! Thanks for the feedback Jacob! We had fun on the live chat and appreciate you watching 👍🏻 Let us know what you think of the scrub video
hi, wha´ts up dude? you advice me to try scrubing , as far a i start now doing motocross? the other thing you always say start slow on smal jumps. but my doubt is if i go slow the bike will do the scrub? ahhhh i love your videos, thanks for all the tips!!!
So, how do you keep from landing sideways, how can you be confident that the bike will come back? Does turning the bars or locking them bring the bike back? Scrub vs whip? Do you want the rear tire to go out or up? I've found that sometimes a whip kinda happens naturally ... that's how you learn it fast :D
I think the best way to learn is hit the jump like your aiming to go off the track as you get to the top say “oh shit” and try to aim the bike to get back on the track at the last second.
I have a question. I'm a middle of the pack C rider, but I've never been comfortable jumping while still in a turn. Its seems like the bike always falls to the inside of the turn. What advice do you have on keeping the bike straight? Or could you make a video explaining it?
