Motocross For Beginners: Attack Position 

Great stuff, but can’t I experience an achilles injury during heavy landings? And isn’t it sometimes appropriate to point the toes out to let the bike move beneath you? Also, how do I correctly sit down 😅

one of the best educational dirtbike videos I’ve seen, very articulate and it made it easy to understand what you were explaining

I've watched countless training videos, but this one is not just another attack position video. It is by far the most informative training video I've ever seen, including paid versions. You explain in detail the why and why not of each body position, which is incredibly helpful. Thank you for creating such a valuable resource!

One of the best basic videos Ive seen. Great job👍🏼

Stoked to see you doing your own thing James! I’m an instructional designer by profession and Ive worked at some of the leading colleges and universities in my country (Australia) and I can tell you with authority that you are a fantastic teacher and have a real gift for this. Wishing you the best on your new venture mate 👍

Thank you. Clear, presize, logical. Thanks again. Walk before you run !!!

Best video about position i'v ever seen. Thank you James.

Dude this video is propably the best standing explanation video on whole RU-vid…!!!

Brilliant James, so much detail and really at ease in front of camera. My only request would be a couple more shots from the side. Looking forward to the next one, thanks.

Never have I seen a more well put together MX instructional video. The flow of information is flawless, you gained a new subscriber. Thank you for the time you took to prepare for this content.

Easily the best video I've seen so far, coming from someone who has never ridden before. Explaining WHY, as well as HOW, to do something helps me immensely. You've done a great job at that in this video. Most videos just say something along the lines of "squeeze with your knees and send it", and leave it at that. I love to easy to follow "landmarks" you mention (knees over footpegs, chin over the bar pad, etc). I'd 100% subscribe to a Patreon or something where I could access other lessons.

Thanks a lot! This was a really good break down. One of the best ones I have seen.

Outstanding!! Thank you

Excellent presentation, very professional production value as well. I have taught Biomechanics for decades (First Responders -cops are typically ‘difficult’ students, firefighters, nurses, Pro athletes, and More). You’ve got a long, successful future ahead of you in this field, if you choose. 👍🏼

Great video, very informative on every topic & easily digestible! Definitely looking forward to more!

One of the BEST videos about body position I have ever seen ! Thanks James

Great video, thank you, very helpful

A great video James , plenty of great tips .

Great video James !! Very good breakdown for all levels of riding .

u have a lot of honesty and conviction in your diction . kudos !

Awesome well said thanks James

Very comprehensive explanation!! 👍👍👍

Bloody champion mate that is the best I have heard someone explain this position and more importantly the importance of it. Thanks for your help.

This breaking down of the posture is quality stuff! Please keep them coming

Thanks for taking the time to explain the basics easily 👍

🎉🎉🎉You did it! I will share your video with all my riding buddies. Great video! Really looking forward to your new videos.

Great video! It's important to learn the basics before trying to go as fast as you can.

Good stuff, very clearly articulated. Thank you.

Wow, great work, concise and easy listening.

Amazing video, the most descriptive that I watch so far, Please continue this with all the same details and content. I will share it with all my network for sure

This helped so much !!!!!!!!! Thank you

Wow. Excellent advice.

I used to do a lit of track riding before falling asleep in bed, I found this to be really helpful.

Fantastic, thanks for that!

Thanks for this James liked and subscribed!I like the way you patiently explain it so i can recall every detail as i practice one piece at a time.I already learnt this but i have found your video helps me improve and refine the technique

Amazing explanation and demonstration!!

Best tutorial ever!

That was really well explained! Waiting for more content like this 👌

Amazing content. Thanks for your share.

Fantastic video James! I learned a lot in this few minutes. Thank you very much. Best regards from Germany.

Great video! Thanks!

That had to be one of the most detailed description of the attack and riding position I've seen awesome job

great explanation and information. I definitely wasn't doing accel/decel right and will practice that. You need pretty good hamstring flexiblity.

Some great info there. And very well put across.

Awesome. Learned a lot in a short time. Thank you

NICE tips bro!!! Greatings from Brazil

I really appreciate your teachings. I grew up racing in late 80s through the 90s. Wish they had all these people teaching techniques. All things that will improve my ability next time I’m able to purchase a bike again.💯🤙🙏🇺🇸👊👍✊✌️

Nice breakdown!! Been riding for 25 years and definitely found a couple of new strategies for consistency and mental comfort.

Excellent video ! Like someone else wrote, I have seen many of these videos on stance but I find yours to be the best so far.

Great video youre a good teacher

Great to listen to! Good teacher

Thank you for posting look forward to seeing more. Best of luck with RideMXU

Great vídeo, nice and clear explanations

You just made me realize why I struggle braking so much. I can't wait to get out and try this. Thank you.

New to riding - ty so much!

Great video. The only concept I change is I don’t squeeze the bike with my knees much. I ride off-road not moto. In rocks I let the bike move under me and I stay centered. Always head over the bar pad and I’ve worked hard to stay mostly on the balls of my feet. The grip angle I’m working on also. Old habits are hard to break

Absolutely awesome ❤️ ❤❤

Of many videos out there this one really taught me some things.....

This is freaking awesome dude ! You’re so kind I appreciate that brotha ! I have a 2020 yz250F my first “big” bike and my first four stroke I have been on the track but I’m always trying to get better to be safe and efficient on the bike

Glad to see you’re still coaching! I really enjoyed the class in Idaho at skyline Mx

How i wish, such videos would exist when i was just learning to ride the bike 18 years ago. Only pain, try and error and stupid stuff back then. Amazing guide, thank you

Just awesome thank you for this video 😍

Great video. I grew up learning to ride and getting into racing in the mid 80’s. At the time I had a David Bailey VHS that showed some fundamentals and introduced me to the attack position. Your explanation here breaks it down much better and I know would have helped me as back in those days you improved by just figuring things out a lot by watching vhs camcorder footage of yourself and other riders to figure out what worked or didn’t. So most of us were really flying by the seat of the pants. Teaching my kids the basics right now and I am going to have them watch this as it enforces some stuff I have been working on with them but also explains some stuff I hadn’t considered. Good stuff, thanks! Also it’s pretty interesting as I had been a lifelong alpine ski racing coach and a lot of the points you make apply to most sports, being in a good athletic position where you can move efficiently, add pressure, or absorb using flexion in all of your joints as well as the ever important, look ahead! This stuff applies really well to skiing, mountain biking and dirt bikes, so it’s cool to see these parallels reinforced and probably why these particular sports crossover so well.

I like to watch training videos including a couple paid ones. This is the most detailed and well thought out videos on this subject. Thank you so much for sharing. Subscribed.

Super informative for a brand new rider. Thank you sir!

Great video easy to understand to make my riding better

Awesome, hope to see you all back in TX one day.

Thank you .

Cool video guys. Great

Awesome awesome job explaining, I’m going to send this to my buddy who’s learning.

This is so important video. If you cant get the hang of this on a stationary bike, train your mobility, muscle condition and balance. I've noticed many people can't do these at all because they are in such poor physical shape in some critical areas, even if they do other activities.

Great job, explaining body position, James! Congratulations on starting your own business. Good luck on your new adventure!

Great stuff, thanks!

Very interesting about hand position something I hadn’t thought about will put this into practice tomorrow thanks👍👍

Great video and explanations of the WHYs. You have a good delivery of information. #new-sub

Never thought about hand placement thanks for the video

Super!! The best lesson!!❤

Great information! Wish we had this available back in the 80’s therefore I would have stopped pogo sticking jumps! Lol good stuff!!!👍🏼

Shot coach. This is a banger

Thanks! Very helpful video! Liked and sub’d, cheers 🤙🏼

This vid is legit. As a new rider, I especially liked the pointer about the hand position to get the elbows out. Sub'd for more great vids!

Crucial point on upper body and head position and over-weighting. Finding the balance is key as you've rightly pointed out.

nice guidance bless you

Great video! Felt way shorter than 13:54 I particulalry learned something about why I seem to struggle keeping my elbows up - I probably death grip the donuts...

Great video very informative

Great video for the beginner enduro rider here. Will definitelly try this out next time instead of flooring it and "it is what it is"

Nice bro!

Great stuff!!!

Well explained.

thats crazy how little details affect control of the bike. immediate effects after watching this video. great explanation even for non-native speakers

Nice work. Appreciate that. Would be awesome to get two cameras and show a frontal and side view.

Awesome video

Great stuff I just got my first dirtbike at 50years old a 450yz

Great breakdown. You should do braking/accelerating on downhills and uphills and how that’s different than on flats

Just keep on going !!!

Awesome vid

Nice

Excellent

Wish there was a video like this 50 years ago, I was a famous scrambler but no one knew i was famous???

Ace cheers 👍
