Sure was! Still glad you got up! The cut the clip right as I was about to go off the face after you crashed. Definitely was worried when I saw that coming over the jump
I still remember back before i first got a bike always thinking how easy it "looked" to jump a dirtbike I don't think i've ever been so wrong in my entire life lol, it's really impossible to describe how insanely difficult and scary it really is
I second the notion on A.J's great coaching,coulda went really wrong had A.J. not stopped Pre mix papa to explain what was happening when he accelerated going up the jump face.
Damn, he spun up the face and it hooked at the lip and sent him left. That stuff is scary, how do you go about gaining more traction off the face under hard acceleration? Weight further back?
So what is the fix when you find yourself in that situation? You said its a result of the takeoff. But once in the air how do you bring it back around? I find this happening to me on occasion.
Great question! Keeping your head over the front is extremely important to keep you in the correct “anterior pelvic tilt” which can allow you to pull it back in. Landing front tire first helps. Landing hard on throttle helps
@@themotoacademyYT correct me if i'm wrong, AJ, but it seems like the more you're able to tell the bike what to do, like scrub, whip, etc, the less likely it is to respond poorly to something like a kicker or wind.
@@themotoacademyYT If I find myself in a similar situation, would it help me to use the rear brake in the air to land on the front wheel, and then give full throttle when landing?
You can land sideways if on the downslope, somewhat. I think if you cleared it would've been fine. But first shot, definitely do like aj says, take a wide line,
I went long once and landed on the bottom where every jumps down and gassed it so it formed a crater and both my feet slapped my shins thought I broke both my ankles 🤦🏻♂️ def learned to inch my way and not just blast it 😂
When I ride at 125, such situations do not happen, since I have to constantly maintain the trottle level, but at 450 I periodically pull the bike to the side, because the reaction to the gas is too sharp and the rear wheel of the motorcycle runs away. Rigid fixation of the motorcycle with my knees helps me avoid this. Very hard, with force @themotoacademyYT If I find myself in a similar situation, would it help me to use the rear brake in the air to land on the front wheel, and then give full throttle when landing?
I rushed the corner, didn’t get straight, carved the take off and hit the slick part. Which caused the bike to kick the opposite direction. In the air I didn’t readjust my body position by leaning back over the bars to save it , due to being in a panic and pushed away from the bike instead.
That’s just a rail the corner and whip to the left type jump. Either seat bounce whip or standing. These guys just aren’t very good and lack the fortitude of feel. You gotta feel what the bike is doing under you and make small adjustments on the fly.
The way it flows out of the corner is definitely strange. I feel if we were actually hitting the corner first it would flow better but it definitely plays with your eyes on the run up.
Sitting here with a healing femur/hip with too much hardware that's probably going to shut me down, im glad they know when to hold and know when to fold. Nothing worse than getting your wings clipped possibly indefinitely.The possibility of having to send it into a bed pan with the aid of some pretty nurse makes reevaluating life goals shift around a bit.
