- Video taken from Aj Catanzaro Moto-X Academy explaining the attack position from the feet to the head. This is the most important thing to learn when riding a dirt bike, period.

Since I'm living other side of the world I can't get take courses from very knowledgeable riders like you. Most of things you taught here are the things that I've never heard of and now I've got whats wrong with my riding and why it feels so weird. Thanks sharing all these informafions for free 🙌 and please please keep doing this.
Can’t afford to go to riding lessons so these vids are so helpful thanks
I don't have time and my bikes are both blown up
Half of the time the riding lessons are locals that have bad technique anyways. AJ is teaching the proper way, look at MXGP Stefan Everts, Jett, Eli, Sexton etc Vs. locals, and basically everyone else. Feet on the pegs, solid upper body and consistent
The best video on TH-cam on the attack position. And I've watched a ton of them.
Thanks!
Yes indeed!
Best videos also for other topics)
AJ , this is the best explaned attack position ... been riding for to many years .. and finaly i Think i Got it 🙏🏻🤟🏻.. thanks champ🤜✊
Awesome stuff man you do an awesome job explaining it.
That toes pointed in and knee touching in the attack position is a great tip! If you could, please show some of the bad examples of the students while riding and some of the good examples demonstrating your lesson. I think that would make it even more clear. A lot of potential for this channel. You instruct very clearly. Please continue to make instructional videos. Thank you!
This is awesome info Aj. I'm a 57 yr old, life long rider and I can't wait to take your instruction and burn off some very ingrained bad habits. Keep um comin. Going to check your website. And good luck in Supercross!
Good stuff man!! Thank you🙌
Love the detail of the explanations with examples. Thanks for doing these!
raced from the age of 10-15. now Im 35 and bought the new crf250r as a way to get back into it with my daughter thats 7. we watch all your videos and thank you for what you do. I say that humbly as Ive totally forgotten how to ride.
Any skiers out there who ride? The whole idea of releasing your hips to separate the upper and lower body is exactly what you do in mogul skiing, too. Watch videos of mogul skiing competition, and you'll see their legs pumping, knees acting as shocks, with some side to side in the legs, while the chest, shoulders, head, and torso stay perfectly still and pointed straight down the mountain ("where they want to go" in biker-speak). I guess the concept makes sense for any sport where you're absorbing bumps while going somewhere. Great video!
I’m having trouble with the bike pulling back from the handlebars while in the standing attack position. I can counter that sitting, but I’m not understanding how it’s done standing. Arm pump is an issue due to this reason.
Pull yourself over the bars by pushing the bike backwards with your legs
Awesome tips man. Big help
excuse me, im not speak english very good, this is a great video! i think you are right about the neck brace, but, do you recommend a few exercise for the neck? which one? thanks!
Ik wonder AJ & RyanH. Straight rythm.an absolute spectaculair
Still sending this to my new racing partners in 2023
My question is shifting and rear braking. If i'm on the balls of my feet..heels down...I can't shift. So do I shift or brake then just go back to the ball of my foot. ???
I really like your videos, very good instructions. I hope I can do something with it when winter is over and I start riding again.
Whenever I do the proper attack position it doesn’t feel comfortable and my grip on the throttle is bad even though I’m trying to grip it the proper way which is making me endo and rocket air, when ever I have the not do good posture, I jump level and feel more comfortable, so I’m wondering what to do to make the attack position feel more comfortable.
you really are great teacher where do you do your classes
I'm old school I learned the hard way and on my own figured stuff out,and one day,tired not one hundred percent I started using my legs to ride the bike like I hear the pros supposedly do but I had know idea how excactly,it was so much less effort doing it with the legs instead of using a lot of handle bar input to make the bike start the turn,I road race too so it weird going back and four from sport bike to motocross....but next time out I lost it and it was gone back to the old style its because I was not staying on the balls of my feet I could never figure that out shift ing and braking,reach.piece,THANKS
You weren’t holding on tight enough with your legs then if you think it’s easier.
Thanks for doing vids I hope one day I can apply your tips and tricks to motocross riding, Im working hard to afford my dream bike
Smoking less would help! But that’s no fun! 😆✌🏽Do hope it’s soon! Good luck! 🙂
Hope you reach it. I got mine and it’s the greatest feeling ever 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
you should show it on the bike, not on the ground standing
100 thousand views and only 2.4k likes. Tough crowd!!!
Haha thats the way it goes.
These videos are the most informative riding videos I’ve seen
7:22 I wear and want to wear a neck brace but I've been struggling with the attack position because of that since some time, please please please could somebody help me. Also thanks Catanzaro for all this tips, in my opinion you're the rider with the best technique in the world and I'm not kidding.
If you’re here now, Practice this!. As Im getting older I’ve noticed my posture has been very bad growing up. Tried this and right away I can feel how much more free everything feels and how much more speed I can carry. I’ve been maxed out because of bad posture and I want to improve more. I think this is what has been in my way.
Love these videos Aj I've been riding for a long time and didn't know some of the things you show these people glad you make these videos keep it up!
I have a hard time riding on the balls of my feet and keeping my toes straight with my height, especially when I go from standing to sitting. Especially with being 6’6” but I’m gonna practice this. Never heard about keeping my hips loose, but I’ve been through some rough stuff and it felt like I was absorbing correctly, but I’ll practice. Thanks!!
Oh yes, I used my my ankle flexion like a pro today. My ankle is very sprained...
Excellent instructional video! Invaluable information! Thank you

What does casing a jump mean?
It means not clearing the jump 100% while intending to clear it
Awesome video!! You gonna be at the Houston SX this year?
Jacob Koehn yep I’ll be there!
Great video 💪
Well RV wears a neck brace and he is faster than all of you put together.....but what you say about is true....so obviously there is something else to it that is not being considered????
How tall are you?
he's about 5'11"
