One of the biggest mistakes i see novice riders make is doing the MTB style "boost" where they try to bunny hop the bike off the jump face. Staying loose and bent at the knees while gripping bike with legs and letting bike come up to you is the safest, proper method.
Nice seeing you here! You should invite AJ to ride your Varg (:
damn, i am guilty of that. started doing it on my talaria cause it behaves pretty much like an MTB.
That's my problem. I come from bmx and mtb background.
I am a MTB rider and I am about to ride mx. This tip is literally made for me haha
Hit the nail on the head
I did it for years
My freind (aa rider) got so pissed
Trying to teach me
“ just sit down”!
Finally emig calling a race and Josh grant doing textbook seat bounce
Saw it
Did it
So much to learn. So much I want to learn. Thanks so much for helping us out!
Man your videos so helpful much appreciated bro
These are lessons I had to learn through trial and error the hard way on my old XL250. Forty years later I pop Tylenol like pez otherwise my ankles, knees, and shoulders remind me daily of all the mistakes I made.
Yes, that was my experience also. My first motorcycle was a 1974 xl 250. ( like riding a brick)
well i think you solved my problem in the first 30 seconds of the vid haha.
i always do an endo when i jump, and i believe its because im scared so i lean way back- in turn doing an endo.
The single biggest thing I've learned about jumping from AJ is this: you're already setup to succeed or fail before you even hit the takeoff. Set it up in the flat, maintain that speed and form through the face, and deal with the landing. This is for novice jumping (me) and not advanced stuff.
that part made me laugh because its so true.
The safe jump rules are...
1.Good body position with head over the bars or gas cap.
2.Make sure to smoothly accelerate all the way off of the jump.
If you let off the throttle a little too soon, before your rear tire has left the jump, the engine break will cause the front wheel to drop(endo) as well.
You can see how this would happen, if your front tire is off the jump but your rear tire is still on the jump and it is engine breaking.
So when practicing, Make sure to use even throttle or better yet smooth acceleration until the rear tire has left the lip of the jump. Then you can let off throttle, pull in clutch, or whatever and get ready to apply throttle right when you land.
Balanced body position is crucial to the bike flying correctly.
Standing attack position with hips back and chin over the bars or gas cap region will feel amazingly balanced and safe in the air.
Side note:
To compensate for the up angle of the jump face and the acceleration up the jump face...
You will feel like you have to slightly lean forward up the jump face to remain balanced chin over gas cap.
If you are in a perfect balanced body position even If the bike endos a little or sky wheelies a little it won't be scary at all because you'll be so balanced.
Hope this makes some sense.
Once I learned good throttle control off the lip and good attack position with chin over bars, it changed everything and was able to start progressing.
It felt very balanced, safe and repeatable.
🙏
Wow that corner coach is a good one
Lets go🔥
Good to see you made it to ADK MX
Great upload, wow didnt realize there was so many riders there, your doing great things I just found a Dirt Bike Rider(UK) from 1986 with a very muddy 10 year old Me covered in mud eating lunch in the back of a truck at a Mitsui Yamaha MXTraining School, we were joined by an 17 year old Rob Herring .
Man…this kind of training when I was younger would have saved me a lot of injuries. I learned how to ride through trial and error, which is not a great idea with motocross.
Superb instruction I wish I could attend one of these academy's, but it's a long way to come from the UK 🤣🤣🤣
That was awesome! You pointed out all of my mistakes over the years. subbed
Love it.
Thanks for training sir.. Im rider from indonesia watching your tehnic 👍👍
Glad we can help! 😁😁
Ok tnx for the nice tutorial sir🏁🙏👍 good day
that s right you tell them coach....have fun out there...
Wish I'd had access to a coach when I was doing this as a kid. I'd have been so much better. Bust my leg air wheelying a tabletop when I was 24. Still got some of the mechano in there to this day...
Looking good team🏆
I'm gonna join the Moto Academy very soon. I live in Belgium and we once had riders who were among the best of all time such as Stefan Everts. We had loads of tracks and now we only have 3 active ones. I learned a lot from just watching these videos already and I can't wait to put it into practice as I'll be riding soon. You guys are awesome.
We hebben er 4 denk ik. Komen-waasten(zwaanhof), Lille, Lommel en Genk. Maar idd, het is triestig. Elke provincie ging voorzien worden van een trainingcircuit maar t komt er ni van. Zelfs een omloop in mijn buurt (Kester) die jaarlijks eenmalig werd gebruikt moet ermee stoppen. Op den duur zou je beter ergens een landbouwgrond kopen en er zelf een parkoer op bouwen 😂
@@kev_ket6715 Ja die groen en de politiek, het is inderdaad triestig in ons armzalig land. Sacha en Lucas Coenen hebben het zelf gezegd dat USA echt HET land is om de sport te beoefenen. Ik vind zelfs nergens in België een instructeur meer om me verder te helpen met het crossen, moet het allemaal zelf leren. Op het Honda park in Olmen deden ze het maar dat parcour is ook weg voor zover ik weet. 😩 We hebben echt legendes zoals Roger De Coster, Stefan Everts en zijn vader, Joel Smets, Clement Desalles en noem maar op... Maar ja die pottenstampers van de voetbal die altijd maar op de grond liggen janken die krijgen alle aandacht.
Het is echt waar wat je zegt, als dat nu eens mogelijk was om een parcour in je tuin aan te leggen haha. Alleen mogelijk in USA vrees ik. 😅
It's only 1 track near me open, the others closed down.
What is Stefan Everts doing these days?
@@bunnyman6321 He's pissed off as well how the government treats the MX sport. With his son Liam, he mostly trains his son in Lommel and in The Netherlands as well as other countries I believe. Our Motocross athletes have like multiiple titles whilst our national football team has none. The Belgian people really lack tolerance. If that's the correct word for it. We have so many good riders at MXGP and MX2 level and everything went to shit.
@Dxrkwave I hope everything get better .
Awesome!!!!
Y’all have some excellent audio!
Instruction is on point. Would love to get some coaching.
Same here!
Only wish I had someone teach me this stuff back when I was racing in the 80’s
Never too late!
great video. the only thing i cant wrap my head around is sticking my leg out on turns. it just feels so sketchy and i already know that its useless for me as far as catching myself goes so then its only purpose is stability?
I feel if you take away the sub frame and make it like a poke o stick keeps you more forward on jumps !!
We’re do you do the meets
How do you explain Haiden Deegan seat bouncing perfectly off the back fender then?
I have never done air wheelie , it’s all about body positioning and smooth throttle until you leave the lip of that jump don’t gas too hard coming off and don’t let off steep jumps get your body forward then back in the air and mellow ones just sit in middle of the bike .
This helped a lot.
Glad to hear it!
Hey AJ love the videos! Im a C class rider and Im having a hard time consistently initiating the lean while cornering seated on berms and ruts. Not sure if its my upper body position or if its my elbows would love some tips thank you
Make sure you are pressing with your outside foot and keep your core tight and go watch some videos of the pros cornering and watch where there head stays in same position when they hit corner
@@Tyler.56 thanks man appriciate it
@@Tyler.56 4:52
7:28 .... that legit just blew my mind. why the heck did tht look so easy for you???? xP xP
Just a skill he’s practiced thousands of times 😉
Muito bom.
Que Deus abençoe
Also people are much taller now so on the 250’s and up they need to make the bike 2” longer. It would take the back wheel being back two inches so a longer swing arm and chain as well as a fender and frame to match. Foot pegs could be back 2” allowing a person to be more stable and less accidents. Imagine it this way. The further apart your hands are from your feet give you a lot of control. Try riding an 80cc and you will see what I mean. You can ride the bike but your hands are only a foot away from your knees making it very dangerous to ride and control
Nice !!!!
great
IMO everyone should ride BMX. Race and ride trails. The skills learned from BMX help immensely. Just my 2cents
i just send it and rev the bike mid air that stops me from landing on my front tyre
Congrats on the new spot in Georgia! I know your neighbors, Tommy and Ann Hopkins. They live right there by your facility. Great people!
Already lost the place defaulted on payments. :(
Really?
@jonwitunsky4742 You're joking right?
needs like a speaker with a microphone so everyone can hear him on the bike
You forgot a very important thing on the seat bounce that you should tell ppl is squeeze with your knees.. I’ve seen ppl tell others to seat bounce and when they tried they went over the bars or almost. I told them you need to squeeze with the knees then they did it right.
on landing, you have to stop gripping your bike to absorb the landing, is that correct? My knees are all torn up and bruised from gripping ALL the time
No. Always grip with your knees. It can be the difference between getting bucked off the bike vs riding away on a hard landing. Get knee pads if you don't have them, and get better ones if you're using cheap mountain bike style pads. Get you some real motocross knee braces, and you shouldn't have that problem anymore.
@Eastsidegeorgiaboy I am using leatt dual axis knee pads and I am still getting bruises. Braces are too expensive for me.
@@Robbe1912This is a rich man sport
and...if you're attacking a nearly vertical 5ft jump, you can "dump the front end" into the face, (if on hardpack....by chopping the throttle) or "stiff-arming" the bars...and "crushing the front end into the face...this will give you long distance, instead of sending you to the moon. (yes, that's a pro-tip!) practice this on small jumps first!
One question, do you have to pull the clutch in with the brake tap whilst in the air?
@@theboogeyman327 so much to think about
I learned it in one day and have it for a lifetime. Like anything else, practice it regularly and build muscle memory.
For me, it was more simple than that. Do you not pull in the clutch every time you use the rear brake hard? I feel like you should or you'd be stalling all the time. The muscle memory kicks in when you go for the rear brake in the air. Clutch gets automatically pulled from your brain.
Does the clutch pull when jumping apply to 4 strokes? I don't recall it being so critical for 2 strokes.
Learn to jump properly you really rarely need to brake tap. Most people who do do it immediately counter it right afterwards anyway.
Nice
I’m 6ft 2 I’m a tall rider any tips for a tall rider
Ride like anyone else. That height isn’t unusual or problematic.
@@m-h1269 how tall are you mate ? It’s more difficult to get into the attack position it’s easier and more natural for a shorter rider to get into those positions
@@harrybailey3591 Height has little to do with how capable you are at moving your body. Trust me, there are taller riders than you. And there’s no real tips to give in terms of technique, what do you expect? There’s settings and mods you can do to fit your height, but I assume you’ve already done these.
Get some bar risers and adjust your riders triangle. I like my handle bars more forward but play around and see what you prefer.
I found the Renthal 827 bar opened the bike up. A hard seatfoam helps lots with up and down. I had low pegs but would catch my heels in ruts when my ankles were dropped so I'm back to stock, I had bar risers and took them off, didn't feel much difference so left them off. My legs would get so sore riding and days after so I focus on them in the gym to condition them. This works for me and I'm 6'7. It's not all bad honestly. 😂 happy riding.
I'm the 330th "like"....a sign that I'm special
That’s good stuff !
Genius marketing with the corner coach bit….
Yep! Stop trying to jump a dirt bike like a bicycle!!!!
Awesome
how can I copy and paste this video into my fathers brain permanently
To make your dad the ideal mx coach right? I was thinking the same
COACH??? HELL NO, JUST WANT HIM TO BE SAFE

🤣😂😜🤪😱🤔😬👍😎🤘
AJ could you do some analysis on these crashes for us?
th-cam.com/users/shorts08P2HCwEuhA?si=bYaWdRaEtbthwBz-
Enduro riders don't jump much so even though these are some semi experienced riders there's definitely some fundamentals of jumping missing
Absolutely! Thank you.
Brilliant!
What happened to GPF?????
You find out yet?
why would you even need to learn how to do it the wrong way
sometimes you need to know how it's done wrong to know how it's done right
I used your discount code. Can I get some free merch?!
Bro, Jew?
@@esimler no, Christian!
🔥🔥🔥
@@esimler😂😂
what a pile of crap who made him the expert 🤬🤬
Oh my. What?
That hairline is looking good!
Im the guy who scared how to endo 😪
You definitely don't want that body to drop
