Here's my PSA to all my riders out there, in the wake of Tomac, Swoll, Aruda, and now Ferry, and more riders to come: As a sports doctor, PLEASE watch how low you put your ankle below the footpeg. While it is 'proper' technique, it puts a shear amount of load on your Achilles, hence why the up-tick in more blow outs in MX.
Hey Aj can u give me some advise of getting a new dirtbike? Im 10 and my height is 5.8ft and im 45kg i ride a ktm 85 but its getting to small and my dad wants to give me a upgrade to a ktm 150 but i need ur opinion first❤
That’s an excellent upgrade, the Ktms are wonderful bikes. Do it!! Im short and ride a big bike, don’t be afraid of the power, it just makes it easier to ride the bike!

And point your toes in slightly because it makes it easier to grip harder with your knees.
That ones kinda grey aread imo cause you cant really be tight against the frame if your heels are kicked outward
