I learned the standing in corners from Tomac who was the first dude I watched doing this 5-6 years ago...I guess his mtb skills helped him with this straight from his pops. I think mtb in general helps with this skill in general and practicing it so you can use it racing
I was playing MX Bikes and practicing on a SX Track with a Star 250. There was a Section that I was not getting so I had to fail that section and keep going. I unintentionally took Coops advice and break down the Track and Perfect or at least clear that section. On my time is unlimited. On Coops time even though they replicate the tracks at Star, Coop has to adjust very quickly when it comes to the real thing as the conditions vary when at the location! Real Life or Simulation this Tip is Super Helpful, yes the big talk is about technique but Coops Track Knowledge and Workarounds is just AMAZING! Hymas just covered what Forkner said but Summarised it. Hunters was good too, I had remember Craig had a Light on his bar pad once on his Star 250. It is really to easy to be caught up in emotions of Complacency or doubt that it will CATCH up to you. Hunters and Coops were solid 🙌
How about letting riders that are about to purchase a new bike know what weight the suspension is set for. I bought a 2023 YZ250X and I thought it would be set up for woods--softer. I rode it for a year and changed the fork springs from 44 to 42 and then 38's. I felt I was riding a jackhammer. I figured I'd try Race Tec, I weigh 162lbs, man what a difference. It would have been great if I knew this before I tried all the other things to dial it in.
Uhhhhhhhh... Forkner is fast, but IDK if he's the best person to take advice from. Dude should've had a career number 5 years ago if he kept his technique a top priority and stopped riding over his head.
This information is woefully remiss of the context behind most of his recent crashes. I’m really not sure how technique prevents him from being cross jumper by Jet Lawerence or taken out in a first turn pile-up…one could argue last year was a technique mistake but he said he lost his contact mid race and the lip you were supposed to wheelie over before hitting the section he crashed on was near impossible for him to see.
@Strohlaj please, do yourself a favor and look up - Austin Forkner most memorable crashes... Sure, Jett crossjumped him, but what about the dozen crashes he had simply from being too heavy on his nose? Simply put, just because YOUR information is woefully remiss of context, don't put YOUR lack of knowledge onto me. 👍 EDIT: Simple question... If you can't see (Forkner losing 1 contact) and you hit something that ends your season, isn't that the definition of RIDING OVER YOUR HEAD??? LMFFFAAAOOO 🤦♂️

Good words from Austin. Thank you.
Merry Christmas Josh. You are the best spokesman out there.
Crank a couple cold ones at the practice track like an og
Yes!! Always
Merry Christmas MXA 🎄🎁⛄✌🏼

Go Michael mosiman 👊👊👊
austin was spot on
Nice work kid
What's the deal with everyone switching to ETS fuel.?
There were a lot of issues in 2024 with VP fuels that was causing major bike issues
Being in the present moment is always the best answer, but knowing technique beforehand is key, so Hunters answer doesn't help much from what I see.
🏁🤜🤛💪🏻
Dude, bend at the knees to pick up your phone, duhhhh!
