    These mixed with Mx factory are perfect. Yours being more situational and Mx being more general it fills in all blanks.

    Watching your vids has helped me out a ton. Came back to riding from a long break at college and after watching your vids and only being back for a few weeks I feel way more comfortable than I ever have on a bike. It really is the simple things that you have to be taught and do not realize just riding like looking ahead, body position and using the legs more.

    What is the most important and expected from a trainer is to get simple and safe pre-excercises which will help easily to switch to more advanced technics.
    Therefore I love your videos! Thank you

    AJ love the videos man. Could you make one at some point talking about how to approach riding in sloppy conditions? Past few times I've been at Tomahawk it's been super deep and muddy and I am struggling with gear selection, finding traction / stability and maintaining the momentum necessary to keep the front end light to float over ruts. Will be looking you up for some lessons in the near future.

Gonna practice alot on my braking and cornering technique when the winter is over! Really cool to watch your students get better and better, there sure is alot to get into your head when trying to learn how to ride a dirtbike! 😃 and also thanks to your students that let us watch how they practice and progress!

    AJ, first off, Awesome vids, I been learning a ton please keep them coming! Question: Obviously we never want to cross jump in traffic. but see some pro's do it when no one is inside. what's your take on setting up a little out side (moreso the middle) on the straight and fading inside off the last jump into the inside rut? If you understand my awful wording of that question.

    When landing from a jump do you maintain the attack position with your lower legs (straight up and down over the pegs with knees behind to see your toes) or bend with the knees to soak it up and have your balance on the bike shift a bit forward?

      2 Strokes have engine braking, just not as aggressive. Shifting down will have a similar effect.

    I am a very tall rider (6ft4), recently i opened up my cockpit more with higher bars and move them a little bit forward.
    do you have anything else to help me with long arms and knee positioning. love these vids

    • @ataiken8406
      @ataiken8406 4 года назад

      I'm 6-4 as well, you can get lower foot-pegs which can help standing easier as well as a "Tall" seat", believe it or not it helps makes the distance between the foot-pegs and top of seat a longer distance, high bars will def. be needed as well. Also, our riding style will just be different because of our height compared to most riders being shorter. Watch Benny Bloss, Millsaps, Wilson, AC as well they may not be 6'4 but they have different riding style then the others, Butt is back way more and they sit a little more as well. Just my observations

    • @AjCatanzaro
      @AjCatanzaro  4 года назад +3

      Benny Bloss is best one to watch. I think he’s 6 5 or 6 6. I’m almost positive he doesn’t have anything crazy done to modify the bike for his height, his body position while riding is just perfect. If not, at that height your mistakes would all be magnified

      I'm around 6-3 and i was using risers for a long time because my back hurt like crazy and i could not control the bike while standing on the pegs but always felt like i was giving up feeling on the front end when sitting, as i kept riding i started to loosen up my legs and actually bend my knees and found myself reducing the risers height and it got to the point where i'd really like to have stock bar mounts on my 2015 honda, basically get the riding positioning right and then think about modding the bike, i like to use taller seats (helps for standing and sitting and gives your legs more stuff to grip without messing up other things) and would like to try lower pegs but never did, seems like all the fast tall riders don't use super tall bars anyway

      Same rules apply. Pick a gear that isn’t revved out too much but also isn’t lugging. As far as soft suspension goes, you’ll just have to be precise with your timing as it won’t be very forgiving if you case or overshoot.

      Your never too old to do anything that you want to do, and definitely not too old to start motocross. Best advice is get yourself a 250f to start with, you don't need a 450, their too much and you'll get hurt. Second get some mx lessons or very least check out AJ 's videos on standing, sitting and body position. I can't stress enough how important the basics are for you to build on and progress but also to avoid ending up visiting the emergency department. Trust me, I have the scars and the tee shirt, btw I'm 46.

      Not at all !! I didn't start riding dirt until I was late 30's. Now 44 and just started rock climbing recently. Never let age deter you but be realistic with goals and expectations. Focus on gaining knowledge, skill, and having fun in a safe way that will keep you doing whatever it is as long as you can over the years.
