It's great how Ryan puts a lot of focus on technique. He's got a lot of good points that he brings up. Been some great content coming from Gypsy lately
I swear ... Yass . The first time I kinda opened my mind to the possibilities of having good technique was when I saw footage of Pit Beirer at the '97 MX des nations . He was an absolute rager 🔥 his body was low, elbows up and his attack was almost feline . I started copying him and staying low and staying low (while standing up) kinda put me in the position Ryno talks about . Stumbling upon Ryno's channel a few months later was a godsend . He makes so much sense . Technique is everything . Technique will make you go faster . Be more safe , be more ready for sketchy situations and enable you to have more fun . I've always wondered how a ninja or a parkour artist might fare at Motocross (and how less prone to injury they might be) . I feel that Skateboarding, BMX, calisthenics, martial arts etc. Are great cross-training sports for Motocross . You don't have to be amazing at them, even basics will help you a fair bit in Motocross . I learnt to pump in a skate bowl (and I'm a beginner) and it has helped with flow on my dirtbike . Right now, I'm locked down . Hence, all this time in the comments section .
I went to Gary Baily MX school a fee times, & he used to teach the same fundamentals. Body positioning (elbows up, head over bars, balls of feet on pegs) & movement (similar to a tennis player, staying flexible for quick reaction) is everything. I'm a firm believer in body position & flexibility on the bike.
Long time skier (ex racer) and dirtbiker. Old knee brace technology didn't allow for the natural motion of your knees but the new POD braces do. I've logged thousands of days with and without braces and I'll never ride without PODs again.
But Kenny’s arms were pretty much reconstructed. I’m 90% sure that is why he has to use the braces. I would put that in a different category though there may be something I don’t understand. As for neck and knee braces, I would agree (I know Kenny doesn’t rock the neck brace)
@@The413killer well even in the video, Ryan says that you shouldn’t wear them “UNLESS YOU HAVE HAD AN INJURY” so I’m surprised he didn’t explain Kenny’s use of them. Oh well!
I hear you Ryan Hughes. I raced sport bikes for years. Your techniques are very similar to controlling a road race bike. I am a feel rider and came across your content. You gave me a framework that I have applied with immediate positive results. I am now ahead of the action instead of behind. I made more mistakes with my knee braces on. I am safer without them.
I have pod knee braces and mobius x wrist braces and just won my first cross country race I went for 106 minutes man and after I got off the bike my joints weren’t killing me man those braces are the ticket
I counted I believe 4 or so flat Corners I believe is going to benefit Cooper Webb with his lowline flat turns he can make and still be able to hit the rhythms..
I’m not for neck braces cos they do look like they limit your mobility but knee braces and wrist braces really help if you’ve hurt those parts of your body. ( ps James dobb the uk world 125 Mx champion has a charity helping injured Mx riders and he says that every paralysed rider he’s had to help wore a neck brace and he thinks they are to blame for many of the neck injuries )
5:27 the NFL does wear them but it supports your argument imo even more, it’s only specific positions, with very high and predictable load, I don’t think that’s what’s happening in motocross, im ass at riding so I will qualify that with a think.
I can relate to the knee braces segment. I don’t have an ACL or an MCL, but I still ride better and more comfortable without a knee brace. I wear one because I too afraid of fucking my knee up and not being able to go to work the next day. But he’s right in a sense. Thank you.
"What's the first thing you do when you come out the womb?.....You take a breath. You breath, right?.. And what do astronauts do, they float freely, they focus on they're breathing, through years of training...okay?and ask me what i do when i take a bong rip what do i do I hold that shit in and never let it out because I've reached a higher state of consciousness then any of you."
Michael Schumacher’s ski accident injury was exasperated from a GoPro. Examinations and official reports show that the GoPro itself weakened the structure of the helmet, others also discuss that the GoPro actually broke through and pierced his skull. This was during its infant years when they were big and bulky, but still, it’s possible.
7 time world champ Mike Shumaker had a helmet cam when he had his skiing accident in 2013, it was only mentioned in the first news report, I have never seen it mentioned since then, Ive always wondered why, but he did and that's when I learned the danger of helmet cam. Sadly he is still unresponsive at home.
I wear knee braces simply because I am naturally hyper flexible and my MX cornering technic is not good enough yet so I dab frequently. When you dab frequently with loose ligaments you won't break anything but your joint goes out of axis which will wear your cartilage excessively and down the line will increase your chances of bad Osteoarthritis. Ask me how I know ? That why my mum already have 3 joints replaced before 60. Now I ski and enduro MTB competitively and can spend full days riding without any tiredness in my knees, 2h riding stages or mx track and my knees get achy, since wearing my knee braces I can ride for a day and solve the problem. Since I do many other sports besides my knee stability is as good as it's gonna get with my shitty ligaments but without braces I would put my long term health at risk for a sport I am not competitive in. But I will agree that riding without braces is much more natural and once my technique is good enough so I dab only rarely in corners I might restart riding without them. My your knees people you only have one pair for life and hyper-flexibility sucks for this.
I used to wear knee braces before I became paralyzed. They don’t affect your riding position in any way shape or form. Neck brace I can see but knee braces no
Those other sports where you do not see athletes wearing braces also do not have a 60hp refrigerator underneath them. And didnt Ryan wear a GoPro during the 125 race 🤣
Stand up on the bike while riding, grip it with your legs, now throw it side to side by your knees . Does it feel better, with the braces on or off . It probably feels better with the braces off . Feeling better on the bike will make you more efficient .
Yo! Talking skiing.. me as a dh skiing fan seeing over the years some stuff that reminds me on the Mx sport.. like shiffren got the same sports doctor like Roczen liking what ryno had to tell. Try to get marcel hirscher on the podcast he is new embassador for husky and a god on skies.. would be really nice Greets
Ryan tell it to chase Sexton. That dude rides so tight and doesn't have good instincts imo when it counts. Ryan is just the man on 2nd thought love listening here and there. His logic doesn't only work with dirt bikes
Yea dude . Just "Mad Max" it I say 😃🤙 . Pads and guards are aight, you've gotta be a little armed after all there's other motorcycles and shit out on the track . Just don't get "locked" that will be very inefficient .
@@leevancleef553 now if you would have led with that we could have saved us some whatever this is ... Okay I'll look into it . Personally, I don't wear knee braces because I don't have them . I have some guards and I put em on sometime so that my knees don't bang into the handlebars (I ride the Indian equivalent of a dirtbike) anywho, ever since I've tried Ryan's tips . I've found there's hope for my riding . Earlier, I thought "shit ! I'm too late/old for this" I probably still am . But Ryan gave me hope and his philosophy makes sense to me . That being said I never asked anybody to remove their braces . It's a personal choice . I love Motocross . And all the people that do it .
Except I'm not a pro rider. I make mistakes and crash sometimes. Guess who would rather wear knee braces than pay for another 5k knee surgery and miss 3 months of work again.. this guy.
Literally watched a drunk dude on a harley run from the cops fast as that bike would go and blow a turn then into a guard rail to be thrown up and over . guy should have been dead . no broken bones,none !
What he's trying to get at it is to eliminate the consequences by having flawless technique . That being said, pads and guards are quite good at protection too .
What I think about this is - when you crash in F1 car the forces are probably much higher and you cannot jump out of the cockpit or do anything to save yourself like get into the "ball" position so you can slide or do a roll. In F1 you get the force right on you and withou neck brace your neck would just come from one side to the other and to whatevet positios so fast, even good muscles cannot prevent that. With neck brace you have that extra support so your head doesn't shake too much therefote prevents an injury I think. In mx you can jump out of the bike and to roll is better. With a neck brace you can't roll so easy because it is restricting your head. For me neck brace might not be the best prevention when it comes to MX and I think I can say in my case it has caused more or less damaged ligaments in both my shoulders - just because it has restricted full movement of the shoulder as well as a movement of my whole upper body.. I also have to day I was wearing one of the first models of Leatt which was produced 2016-17 I guess. To be honest I would love to see a complete study on these neck braces with scientifical proof - but that would be so difficult to comprehense everything ... In my riding I have made the decision to not wear a neck brace as on the bike it feels much better and more natural. On the knee braces I also have some bad evidence but still wear them.. Maybe I can write sth next time
Marvin has ditched the neck brace and now he’s on the top of the podium....Ryno called it!
And Ryan just broke his neck not wearing one trying to be a “fast” old man at his age safety overrides speed.
Gypsy tales killing it lately 👍🏼 keep it up boys
Ryan Hughes was always meant to be a guru. This enlightener of wisdom just rips on a dirt bike. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍
I don't wear braces because I'm too cheap to buy them but Ryno's argument works well enough so I'll go with that.
Me too.

its also way more fun

Its crazy have a beer on a hot day and ride in the woods. At least 10 trees will be missing bark. Like extra loose.
