Riding technique tips.
OK. All right. All right. We're out here training on the moon on a in a wanga. No, no, no water, no tractor. Just shit conditions. And what I see some coaching to that riders today. I also see it in amateur riders and people that don't have the. I guess the experience of riding is what's happening to the body is that they have a tendency of closing the body down, meaning they want to kind of close the body down when anything comes up that they're not expecting anything that they're not comfortable with or that maybe has a a consequence to it.
They want to close it down. And when you want to and when you close the body down like this, well, then you're limiting its mobility. You're limiting the efficiency of it. You live in limiting the motion in all the joints. That'd be like saying, I'm going to close down my suspension on rebound and make it as slow as possible.
Now, that suspension is not going to be able to follow the track as much. So things are just going to be skating around the track or it's going to get a lot of side to side motion swapping because it's sucked into the suspension. It's not free and moving following the track. And so let's say the next amateur race that we're coming to is mammoth.
One of the things that I do is I speed up my front forks because of how fast the track is, how small the bumps are, the bike needs to follow that. Now, if I close the suspension down by making it a very slow action, well, now that track would pretty much ride me because the bike would be all over the place.
It wouldn't be able to flow on it. So when you're on the motorcycle and I'll maybe flat footed, my butt's coming in my back, coming in round to my elbows are coming down. Well, now, nothing on my body joint wise can move except really my knees. Now, if you look at a sexton and a Jet Lawrence, a Christian, Craig, you know, even a top guys from a tarmac to Anderson to, you know, Roxanne, you see them more stretched out on the motorcycle, more stretched out.
So they're opening themselves up because if I open myself up on the motorcycle now, there's weight going to the rear and there's weight going to the front end. So on balance, if I open myself up, well, now my hips can move. You have mobility in your spine. That's why there's a vertebrae that goes all the way down your your spine, many of them.
And there's a slight subtle movement in that. And when I open myself up and rotate my hips out, my weights in my legs. So now that allows my shoulders and my arms, my elbows to be able to move. So that's the biggest thing. If everything on this motorcycle has to move to its true potential to ride the motorcycles, to potential well, then every joint on the body has to be able to move to its true potential or you're never going to use the body has been designed to be used.
And when I stretch myself out here on the motorcycle, more stretched out as you see those top riders here. Well, now my back is straight. My core comes into play. My core is my my chassis so if this is an activated or if this is closed down from tucking, hunching and rounding, well, then everything can be going into my back.
Everything's going to be going into my arms. And this is what people are saying, not that it's Sexton. And yet Lawrence has this new technique. They don't have this new technique. It's the same thing as everybody else doing except they're on their toes. Their hips are out, their back is straight. But what they're doing, they're they're initiating everything more at the hips.
Every time they guess that the hips are coming out every time they land, the answer coming out, every time they take out from a jump, the hips are coming out. Every time they come out of a corner, the hips are coming out. And when you do that with the hips, as you see I almost stretch my body out more.
If I do if I took my butt in, well, I'm walking my body up. And that's the same thing with the suspension. The bike has to be has to have flew flow it fluid moves, motion and the levers, the headset, the suspension, you know, all the controls. So the by the body that's riding the motorcycle. The mechanism on top of it has to have the same idea is to be stretched out and to allow every joint on the body to move.
So next time you guys go riding pay attention to not locking up when something comes up that you're not expecting or you're not comfortable with, open up to it and you'll be and you'll see that that situation wasn't as big as it you thought it was going to be or you don't struggle as much as you did because you're putting the body in a stronger, more stable, more coordinated, more efficient position.
So true, I started out as a sit down rider pretty much my whole life, years ago I started watching Ryno videos and emulating them during my rides.
Unfortunately riding with bad habits for so long trying new and correct habits felt unnatural and uncomfortable and I became tired fast, muscles just not used to it.
Then I turned the corner kept watching Ryno’s videos to make sure I was following the videos correctly and incorporated it every ride, my best guess for me and being older hence riding with bad habits for a very long time, about 9 months or so it just started happening.
The first thing I noticed I was standing pretty much all the time and about the 2nd ride standing I was blown away thinking to myself wow I’m now standing with out even thinking about it and the best part it now feels natural, smooth and flowing and my speed went up and every time I rode my speed just kept increasing and at the same time feeling more confident.
Bottom line I used to like riding, but now with the help of Ryno videos I really love to ride how F in awesome is that, I can’t even tell you how much better I feel.
Thank you very much Mr Hughes, thanks for making my riding and life so much better.

I also wanted to add as I started riding pretty good I noticed little or not so little things with my bike that could be improved, I have never had my suspension done I’ve always just dealt with it but now it was time, I tell you what it was a big difference like night and day after that I started critiquing everything on my bike and my gear such as handlebars, lever positioning and so on, the only reason I’m saying this, once you solve the big issues you start finding everything else that hinders your riding it’s just funny how that works.
I just want to say a big thank you to you Ryan, at 54 and just getting back into motocross after 25 years and against my wife's wishes I actually feel very safe listening and watching your videos. Thanks again Mate, Simon Lakenheath Uk
I think a lot of riders struggle with maintaining that open body positioning because the strength and conditioning that it takes to do so. So instead of isolating those body parts especially the core and lower back strength most riders are just tensing up. So in theory build up strength/ conditioning and the body positioning will become easier.
As someone who's a complete newbie and has never ridden a dirt bike in their life but has done a lot of cross-country riding/eventing on horseback, this makes total sense. A lot of the ergonomics and handling seem to translate very well. Glad to have found your channel!
Great tips Ryno 🇺🇸 Thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍
You aint lying!
Great help Ryno, need to practice this. Thanks for meeting me at Big Valley Honda👍🏽
If I still lived in SoCal, I'd absolutely be taking classes with Ryan to help me alleviate some bad posture and/or bad habits.
nice!
very smart. took time to study this and makes alot of sense.
Thanks Ryan 👍👍👍
He does great job at these! Learning so much!
Thanks boss 👏🏻🤙🏻
key words from a master!!!!
Go NOAH
Thanks Ryan 🤘🏻🤘🏻🏁🏁
Riding correctly is similar to living correctly. Like when you're closed up you can't accept things coming up, the same as in life
Love the words✌️

I'm an old guy like Ryan. While I ride I go in and out of "Hughes Mode" what he teaches can make you go faster, I use it to stay safe and responsive. Sitting is ok, if you're not in a race. I ride a lot of logging roads on my KDX, I often carry fly fishing equip and go at my own safe pace. If anything sketchy is ahead, or even a corner I go into Hughes Mode, perfectly balanced, hips unlocked, hands able to operate, looking ahead, everything he teaches.
Another great lesson in body dynamics and how it works on a motorcycle. Ryno, I really do think you're like some kind of moto technique kinesthetics genius. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on how to go fast safer on a motorcycle!
Thank you for the compliment #chargelife
Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but is your front brake hose routed on the outside of the fork?
Thanks brutha!
I like watching your riding tips. I’ve been riding for 50ish years. I’ve learned to ride, for the most part, like you describe I should be riding. But, it’s not all on a conscience level. When your techniques become more on a conscious level, when I understand why I’m riding the way I am or the way I should be, I’m able to implement them more and ride even better.
Also, shouldn’t your front brake line be routed between the fork and the wheel?
Such a great review! Even works on MTB. Thanks, Ryno
You bet! #chargelife
Thanks 🦏

Thanks Master. Im Crawling slowly back to the race track. Mind set first, and then technique with a lot of practice. Almost done with the mind, so I know it will be a huge difference when I see the green Flag again. Thank you very much!

Hey thats A bombs bike
One of my struggles as a 40 yr old trying to learn
Awesome video Ryan! Look I have a question in regards turning while riding on the street with a dirt bike. I tried ro search for videos like "how to turn in super moto" which i think would be something similar but I havent found anything helpful. Please help me bro
Im never critical of a Ryno vid but i feel in this case I have to say something. Who's been working on your bike ?? Please fix the routing of the front brake hose.
I make mistakes when I can't sustain that technique ..end of session and sitting here and there is no good and dangerous
When you say speed up your forks does that mean more rebound?
Yes, but match the forks and shock so the bike works together.
This advice about hips....its just so stupid.
Same tip can be Said with use of THE Word A.S.S.
Just because you are a Good rider, doesent mean you aint a idiot.
And
Haha ! Good one, guess you don’t watch racing because you would see the event top rider riding the way I have taught the sport.
But with a comment like this just shows the absolute ignorance some people can have and the inability to see what is in front of them because of the lack of talent they have on a motorcycle. I get it when you suck ass bad as you do, you have to try and make yourself feel better about it !!
@@RyanHughesMX Glad I could help😁
Still with Coldenhof?
@@RyanHughesMX Man O'boy...you ONLY want praises and no critism?
What a fake world thats is.....
For beeing so mindfulness in your hart,you are very touchy.....
After watching so many of your videos I realized what you say is true. We hear but we don’t listen. I just understood what you’re explaining. Gonna try tomorrow! 🦾👊 Thank you sir
