I'm no pro rider, so by all means correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you supposed to be on the balls of your feet so you can use the natural suspension in your legs?
That's the part of the video that made me go huh. It seems like usually when a high level rider mentions foot position, they stress balls of the feet. But I'm here to learn, so what do I know.
Balls of feet in corners, ruts
Yes on the balls. MX factory said so
This made me pause the video and see what others said lol. Annnnd im moving onto the next vid
@@ericthompson881 So basically all the time..
I was always told to ride on the balls of your feet by literally every good rider i know even jermy McGrath has stated so and i can personally say i ride better with the balls of my feet on the foot pegs
The only time I am on the balls of my feet are straight aways with deep ruts and corners. Other than that I am on the sole especially while jumping and landing.
@@Johnny_Hopper If you keep you feet like you showed you can touch the gear lever by accident and catch a false neutral. Not something you want while jumping.
Aleks Nestserau on landing you can break your ankles because of the added flection with the joint. I’ve seen it happen to manytimes my friend. But you are right you keep your toes pointed slightly outside the levers so that doesn’t happen.
@@Johnny_Hopper When you jump down on the ground do you land on the balls of your feet or flat footed? Also, when your boots point outwards you won't be able to squeeze the bike well at all. Some people stand on the toes thinking they stand on the balls of their feet. That's not the same.
Aleks Nestserau dude you do you I’ll do me. If you disagree with my advice that’s fine.
As a former motocross racer in the expert /pro classes for 27 years I still ride in the attack position even when I'm riding my harley sportster that I have kinda have set up like a flattracker and also still use the two fingers extended on the clutch n brake levers lol some good riding habits that you just can't change ...
Me too, I'm 38 years old and can't ride without a finger on the clutch. I blame Professor Bailey smacking my hand with that stick all those years ago.
I was always told to stand on the balls of my feet because you could accedently hit the brake or shifter
Derby4life80z that’s literally what I was about to type !! Iv been told by soooo many people balls of feet..including Gary semics 🤔
me2!
Trust me. Use the balls of your feet. Acts as a human A kit suspension mod lol. Tilt your feet towards the engine casings and alot of the squeezing will be significantly easier! Breaking and shifting is a conscious effort in order to master optimal timing on the track instead of accidental mis-shifts and wash outs and starving the bike of potential. Oh and when on the gas out of sit down ruts and corners, riding on the balls of the feet gives you better leverage over weighting the outside peg and not sliding back on the seat ! Hope this helps !
@@byroncooper6830 but what do you think about hard landing when on the balls ?
@@Aabbcczzxxcc you should be absorbing the impact through your knees and hips, not your ankles.
Love your content bro, this is a good resource for new riders and riders that want to improve their technique.💯
I agree with everything but I can’t agree on the foot position. If you look at every top 5 rider with an emphasis on the top 3 they are dancing around on the foot pegs but mainly on the balls of their feet when not shifting or braking. Great videos though!
Jason Thomas you want to be all the balls of your feet in corners and going down straights because of the ruts but I. The air under breaking and jumping your feet are in the sole position.
@@Johnny_Hopper Good luck with riding on your sole! That's totally wrong and I think you should trim this part from the video, it can really harm somebody out there...
Great video Johnny thanks for all your help!!
The instruction in your videos is top notch, great job!
Thanks for the video!!
Found your videos on recommend I subscribed love the videos
only person i've ever seen say to leave ur feet like that, i think its better to learn the "correct" way first, so you can learn where you can improvise to maksimise ur effectiveness
Hey! I'd like to see a video where you discuss what makes a track good for racing and making passes. Perhaps show some pictures or video you have of such parts? :)
Could you do a video on proper hand placement on the bars for breaking and accelerating?
Great Tips 💯💯 Thank You
I want to be rider but my family can't bought me a dirtbike becouze we so poor I want to be dirtbike rider since Im at 8 I love watching motocross and that's make me inspired in riding dirtbike and cool in tracks motorcroos is my biggest dream I want to come true I wish someone take me and make me a rider from Philippines 🇵🇭
Kinda confused, I've always heard to ride attack position on the balls of ur feet,so when u hit bumps and jumps your legs and ankles act as a 2nd suspension. Can u explain plz?
Ride on the soles of your feet? No. No. Never. You just eliminated a couple inches of suspension travel, in essence, when you don’t ride on the balls of your feet. Any feedback from the shock is going to go straight up through your body rather than having some flex in your ankles when you stand on the balls of your feet to soak up some energy.
Positioning of feet on the pegs:
1. If you ride motocross you will mainly be on the middle to heel part of your foot.
2. If you ride more technical terrain you will be mainly standing on the balls of your feet.
Awesome video but one thing: so many people instruct to ride on the balls of your feet and not the heels?
When i land a big jump who is going straight into a corner i dont stay anymore.
i sitdown and destroy the corner. Is cornering in standing position also good to learn?
If you ride sand and ruts yes.
Heard you're racing AMA Supermoto in Grand Junction
I don't know what type of riding this instruction is for, but Graham Jarvis in hard enduro is always telling everyone to cover the rear brake (AND front brake) for control. While I'd like to stand on the balls of my feet for balance and suspension control, I need the rear brake too much. Maybe it has to do with speeds or motocross? In enduro, it's not just for corner entry.
First time I've heard using this footing position, ever video I've watched says to ride on the balls of your feet n that's from the pros too. But hey ho what do I know I'm a complete novice.
Looking pretty while you ride doesn’t sound gay. It’s 2020. Keep making videos, don’t apologize for anything! 🤟👊
I ride better with the balls of my feet on the pegs but i get the whole heel of your foot thing. My legs are slightly shorter than "The Average" but my torso is a lot longer than "The Average" im 14 yrs old and 189cm tall and because of my torso height i have trouble with "Correct Body Positioning" because it feels awkward.
Try using video to study and correct your body position. What feels right is often quite the opposite.
The balls of my feet?....stop video....let me clear this triple with my heels on the pegs...braaaap...lands it...sort of....blows out knees, ankles and totally eats dirt.
Guy from the video: Just get better at riding
Have u even looked at the design of your boots? Flexion/pivot points.....now what does logic tell you when you look at the boot design and you think about foot positioning?
Does using the ball of your feet give you better leverage?
Think about this. When you jump from a height down on the ground you land on the balls of your feet. That pretty much answers your question. Anatomically it's better to always stay on balls of your feet while riding.
@@nestserau No... It's better in some situations, like whoops, ruts, corners, and terribly wrong on hard landings. You have to move your feet and adapt to the situation. I am surprised that you are advocating always ridings on the balls of your feet because if you were doing it yourself, you would already have injured your ankles quite a few times and make some more nuances in your advice. It is true that the ankles gives extra leverage, etc., and that it must be used in many situations. But a hard landing on the balls is an immediate trip to the hospital. Great riders vary their feet positioning according to the situation. When you jump on a motorcycle and you are on the balls of your feet, you don't have the ground to stop your heel. When you are on footpegs, if the landing is too hard, the ankles will flex way out of their range and you will get painfully injured.
Wide000 That’s the only advice I heard from many trainers here in Holland. Balls of your feet, no exceptions. Maybe that’s because we ride mainly in sand where everything is super spongy.
not that I am a pro rider so what weight does my opinion really have against this guys but I have large feet and the furthest back my feet are in the peg are middle and up towards my toe/ ball area.... i honestly think that this on the heels is not very good technique atleast not for me. Not Hating!! just throwing that out there.
You are correct. And it's also much harder to grip your bike with your knees when the boots point outwards. And when you ride on the heels they have to point outwards, otherwise you will be touching foot controls.
stil here why did this have 2 confuse me learning to ride on my balls of feet
Is it me or is the volume way too low can barely hear with headphones
Mine is working fine... Maybe your headphones aren't plugged all the way in? I do that sometimes..
@@devinwillard6747 using bluetooth maybe because I'm outside
Fly gear LOOKS awesome yes... But I don't like its construction... It's like tissue paper... Returned mine as soon as I un-boxed and felt the fabric of the pants.... It's like swimwear...
why does everyone say to ride on the balls of your feet?
What’s up everyone this is a beginner tutorial on body positioning. Riding on the balls of your feet is a advanced technique. That I personally only use while cornering going through whoops and down really rutted straight aways. If you ride 100 percent of the time on your balls you will break your ankles if you over jump/case anything and you can’t use your controls. I will make more tutorials on moving around the bike. This tutorial is intended to be the the first video a rider watches to get in good habits. Thank you all for the comments and support. Let me know what you want to see next.
i just bought a 2023 i noticed that the attack position is a lot easier to do than is was on my 2001
Yea bad shoulder and old.
All the comments about foot position. Simply watch the pros and you will see that they're on the mid-heel more than the toes-balls. The reason is simple because the mid-heel is a stronger, more balanced foot position. If you struggle with armpump or your bike handles poorly, it might be because you're foot position is on the toes, which is susceptible the knees to come forward, which puts much of the weight to be carried by the quads and your arms.
Yup, supermotos look better and stay cleaner 😁
But they are useless compared to a bike with knobbies.
@@sciencemilitia1853 sorry, I'm a motorcyclist and not stuck on one small aspect of the sport 😉
@@chrissmith802 Yeah you ironically are, because you don't have knobbies...
