Awesome video and your right - Us weekend warriors struggle with this alot and it slows down our progress and speed. Please keep the videos coming and being straight forward...
I went for a ride this morning and all I heard the whole time was your voice saying "Initiate!". Really makes a huge difference when you initiate vs react. I really have to work on it to turn it into second nature but your wisdom is golden. Thank you for continuing to educate us and make it simple enough to follow. ✌
Ryan was always one of the fittest riders out there. My last amateur race was at Glen Helen in 2003, at the age of 32. I quit riding and racing all together. Now, at 52, I'm getting back into it after 20 years. I mean, the YZF 426 was still a thing when I stopped riding. The Leatt brace...I don't remember when that came on the scene. Two strokes were still big in racing. So, I've been educating myself in how things have changed: the bikes, the gear, techniques, safety equipment, etc etc. 20 years is a long time to be away from something that I was completely consumed by from my teens until '03. Now I'm in SE Idaho, and have at least 2-3 more months before getting back onto a bike. A lot of my recent relearning curve has been listening to what Ryno has had to say about body movement, pivot points, positioning, how the 450's have gotten too fast, his opinion on knee braces, etc etc (which, being a SoCal intermediate rider, I never wore knee braces, only the knee/shin guards. My knees are totally fine at age 52). This guy has a lot of good information to help you make solid decisions. Listen to him, and really consider what he's saying
I've only been riding a year and a half and damn I've learned a lot from your vids. Simple and to the point and you also explain why. Great tutorials man
More great advice from one of the legends in the sport of motocross & supercross. Keep the knowledge coming. We all need to be reminded of what we should be doing.
another day, another dollar....another lesson learnt! Happy birthday Mr. Ryno! Keep staying focused on details that only your experience and trained eyes are able to catch!...in order to give us "mere mortals", your precious advice. Thank you so much!
Ive always been a fan of your direct attitude and more technical and soulful style ..been a fan since i was a teen in 90's and im gaining a lot of valuable skill from your videos now..riding is something you have to flow with the bike mentally and physically to be safe and fast..i love riding..it scares the shit out of me but i love it!
Thank YOU, Ryan, I’m a 47 year old amateur, and I’ve been learning a lot from you. I was a pole vaulter for many years. It is ALL hinges and pushing/pulling, energy transfer/conservation. Honestly it’s like a big gold swing. I’ve carried a lot of principles over from the vault over to dirt bikes. God bless! Todd Roe
@@hass7598 a long time ago , an old guy once told me .. the key to riding into old age is .... Slow down ! And I thought that was BS . now I know his advise was wise and true . At 58 I'm no where near as fast as I was at 20yo .... But , although it's different , it's still good damn fun 👍
Great breakdown. I need to work on not letting my hips roll back when sitting. But being old and out of shape I've found myself bending at the hips more when standing to conserve energy.
I just got my YZ125x!! And I am stoked !! It is in getting complete make over and modifications!! So know i can go out and use what i have learned through You!! Thank you!
Thanks, I'm going to pay attention to this on my dualsport adventure bike. I know I need to work on my transitions too, so I'll think about how I'm initiating those too.
This was very unclear to me until you got to 5:12, showing how to do it right, made it quite clear. Then I had to back track about how loose arm movement ties in to bending the torso first, not so much the knees. Thanks, great insight., and technique. The 'hips to head' / hips to feet axiom is still not speaking to my two brain cells, but I think 5:12 covered it for in my mind.
I met Ryan about 9 years ago when he came over to Australia to train two riders the man is a walk genius I just wish he would take more trips over here to train more of us this man is a walking ledgend
Thanks man! If I remember correctly, Sexton missed a shift on a table top and it really showed how much he was leaning forward to counter act the drive of the bike. He almost went over the bars. Crazy. 😎🤙💯
@@RyanHughesMX I remember watching you in Irving Texas in 1998. I believe you were riding a Kawasaki my grandson Bryant Rollins number 803 trains with tapt house I have him watching your videos now,I appreciate all you've done for the sport of motocross for over 35 years thank you sir.
Been following your teachings for a few years. I have good habits as far as body position but when you get tired body position is the first thing to go. I try to implement your techniques but It’s a never ending deal. For and older guy better body pos has helped me on longer rides with the young guys.
Body position is very important. This guy knows a lot of good tips. Of course a two stroke vs a four stroke is alittle different also. Modern four strokes are tourque monsters.
It’s all good!🤞 Time to time I’am thinking why to start ride dirt bike in middle of age, because if you don’t do it from the childhood with trainer, you won’t learn it as vet rider for sure.🤔😊 But I’am still all in and MX is forever in my heart.✊💨
Newbies to the sport,this guy Ryno has forgotten more than most people ever know about MX,his career highlights are second to none,I could go on,but just know that,when you watch Ryno's instruction,he puts all of himself into it,and he knows tons..worth watching for sure
I’ve been told I look more comfortable riding than most people they’ve seen and I never think much about it but now it makes sense bc I do what he’s saying. I use my elbows and hips as shock absorbers and I sit over 90%. I can ride for an hour or ride all day and I never get arm pump. I don’t try to physically control the bike with my body, I control my body to match the bike
@ryanhuges could you do a video explaining where you talk about the Hips, but also you have brought up driving/ Steering the “4 stroke bikes” with the Rear wheel. (Old Guy Here) I learned to do this rear wheel steering on my XR75 riding in the desert, a lot of “Older guys” at the time were ridding TT500, and then the XR500 and XR600 came out. When I moved to Motocross Saddleback was still open “everyone” told me you can’t ride a 2stroke like that…now here we are, bikes back to huge Torque #. Thanks if you read this.
Been lurking in all these videos for a while and tried this on my national level vintage 3 wheelers and wow what a difference 2 or 3 wheels don't matter . Someday would love to make the trip out west and get coached on position alone, even if it's just a 80s 3 Wheeler !
I have actually been out to the track when he was training my buddy.. I would call Ryno a body position engineer.. if you watched him ride his technique on the bike follows what he trains.. that's why he is still fast on 2 wheels. I remember when Ryno and Victor Sheldon were going back and forth at Glen Helen .
We could probably take a big note from horse jockeys and horse jumpers. They can’t push or pull on the reins like handlerbars, they HAVE to it all from the hips down, it seems to me. A lot of what you’re saying about moto body mechanics is, especially in this video, is that the legs have a job and the torso/arms have a job on the motorcycle. Those jobs are connected at the hinge of the hips and they have to work together in a balance. The balance between the upper and lower body is disrupted when one of the halves starts doing the job of the other half. Hmm maybe like our humans relationships. We work together in harmony or we end up huckabuck!
How is it with squeezing the bike with the knees? Then its rarely possible to slide the knees. Some oldshuts told me to always squeeze the bike. I feel to do this all the time is also exhausting like too hard holding the bars. Of course I try to move hip first. So much to learn.
I wonder if the top riders would be good on a mechanical bull or a quarterhorse... It's amazing how much perfect form is a facet of the top riders... I think a training tool that maps the pressure and placement of the knees could be valuable feedback to riders who are trying to master this technique... I have heard of a "paper plates" technique, where riders squeeze paper plates between their knees and the bike... but an onboard pressure sensor with live feedback could be a game changer for some... it could even be placed in the rider's pants, or sensors could be placed on both the bike and the pants to show placement and pressure on a graph, and with live audio or haptic feedback. So, if you let up pressure, then the pants would start vibrating or beeping... It seems that the feet placement, stable knees, and swinging hips are the key pillars of good form... Now to make sure I watch video of my form. haha, add sensors in the boots to show if one is on the balls, or on the flats... lol... put a little magnet in the ball of the boot , and a hall sensor on the foot peg...
Being an MX dad trying to coach the kid and at the same time learn how to ride myself, I value your insights. Thanks! But... Please buy a mic to cope with the wind/ambient noise.
Excellent. But, as a sand mx rider, let me just say that when i follow yur technique it does all u said 👍. However it requires a lot more rear compression dampening cause the power of that stance PILE DRIVES the rear end into the faces of sand whoops. It all works perfectly but u need like 3 more rear shock compression clicks when u do. I guess that means i'm doing it right ? 🤔. Yes/no ??
Good response - the stance and technique is no question, the question is how do you ride. Are you a charging type / then you might need to click it up. If you are a flowing type / then you might not have to do that. Also how big are the sand whoops depends on how much the bike is moving around and the load on the rear shock. That is what’s cool about motocross / so many different variables from bumps - conditions and rider approach. Thank you for sharing your input !!
Yes but riding in sand is a completely different thing. You have to change everything about the bike setup, compared to a dirt track if you switch to deep sand track you are riding a chopper basically and ofc gearing changes too as well as clicks.
Get yourself a little notebook for your individual set ups for different tracks. That way when you know you are going to a certain track you can get set up in the ballpark before you go. Yes, clickers will get changed, but air pressures change, height of forks in the clamps change etc. Used to ride a gnarly sand track one weekend and then be racing a rocky hard packed track the next. Very different set ups.
If we are talking European style really soft sand tracks, a few clicks more loComp and a few more reb might be needed anyway. If you compare to a hardpack or intermediate track
What your interview on Gypsy Tales! Man….I’ve a got a great psychiatrist for you! Take care of yourself and try to manage your emotions, it appears that you may truly be chasing something you could never catch!
Looking at his two standing explanations, I disagree with what he is showing vs saying. Both examples the knees bend. The difference is that in the first example the ankles bend, the heels roll up and the knees push forward. In the "good" example, the ankles don't move, the heels don't roll up, and the knees don't move forward. The knees still bend though.
Thank you man, I guess it's something I've learned but couldn't specify, you're right-it's in the hips that direct the inertia. At 50 I only trust fit dudes with white chins haa!
Ryan, thank you for every technique video you post, thank you for not monetizing it and thank you for being so thorough. We appreciate it more than you know. You're helping our sport become safer and riders become better.
