The last two years I’ve really been focusing on foot placement and standing as much as possible. The difference it’s made has been unbelievable. I’m faster now at 25 than I’ve been in the last 20 years.
From the thumbnail I thought we were learning backflips.
Ride Red lmfaoooo
I thought it was gonna be a first time riding a 2 stroke
@@Dave_Rides Oh man I remember a buddies girlfriend riding a dirtbike for the first time and was a 93 kx 250. It didn't end well.
Lmao
Ride Red lol 😁
5:14 man's got bars💯
What he do👀?
Teacher: “Don’t watch bad & useless channels. Make sure you watch things which improve your mind & knowledge. So, what do you watch, son?”. Me: “MX Factory..”
Lol
I've almost found myself on a Friday Fails by hitting a false neutral between 3rd and 4th. Scary moment but was able to save it. Love the Friday Fails videos, MX is a sport I would rather learn from others mistakes rather than mine.
Perfect timing. There’s a few jumps that I hit or want to hit that are right out of a corner so I’m still in the corner gear, so I’m just absolutely pinned to hit the jump
shifting at the right rpm on a two stroke is mostly based on feel because the sound changes slightly
I got a tip, when exiting a left turn (when your legs out for balance) and with your foot moving back to the peg shift to a higher gear with your heel it's faster and easier than being on the peg and then shifting.
wow, i would never have thought of that. im not a good enough/ competitive enough rider to need such a skill. but i still never would have thought of it, but i be a lot of riders do it.
Damn I never thought of that lol
That last tip with toes pointing out is very good. I train here and there with some coach or other at the time. This other dude pointed it out to me. And it makes big difference. Adding to that toes pointing out effect your bike handling (looser grip with legs) - just try when standing up...:) good vid
So rhinos = 2 stroke
Pretty much
Damn I was going to write this
Aka a real bike 🤣
Isn't he on a 4 stroke?🤔
Man you guys are helping me a ton. Trying to teach my two young boys how to ride dirt bikes but having practically zero experience on dirt bikes myself. this place is a godsend. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.
Im just starting that phase now how did they get on i also have 2 boys lol hardwork ay 😅
I'm sure you already know this but this video was exemplary. All the explanations of you what you mean the editing to bring the relevant clips each time you go on to a different point. Back to back a quality made video and the points you made too. Give ya selfs a pat on the back on this vid. Watching from 🏴. Thanks
I have been riding about 12 years now on a 250 2 stroke. You gave some great tips...for example, short shifting / carrying more momentum through a corner so can hit the jump without having to shift (I had a serious crash when transmission went into a false neutral while shifting on the take off ramp); Another good tip, how to accurately set gear shifter in level position and I agree its best position; Couple things I disagree with...using clutch while shifting gears (I hold it wide open and many times never even blip the throttle); And you didnt mention toes in slightly increases the leg squeeze on the bike - stabilizing it. Great tips - Thank you!
OH MY NARCISSIST
Thank you so much for the time and detail you've put into this video!
Thanks for the bonus tip I have been banging my feet on my trails and this should fix it

Brooooo I'm dying!!!! "Is that what a rhinoceros sound like"😂😂😂😂😂
I watch too much TH-cam. YES that's what they sound like 🤣 (when fighting each other usually)
Would be so stoked with a new bike because I've just stripped my shifter shaft. Would love to see some renthol bars on it
Love it
Your vids kick ass and clearly your weed connect does too.
Thx for the solid advice- have a great one.
i want you to build the yz125 with akrapovic exhaust, i love your videos, youre the only i Watch on TH-cam. good video!!!
I have a crf 50 and have false netural when 1 gear rpms are at max omost and I shifted while hitting the gass
Lol u reminded me of my husband making the sounds! Hes a mechanic and does the same thing.
I just got a 2020 yz125 so I won’t be needing another one but I would like to see a pro Circuit Works pipe
I subscribed!!!
Thats not Tyler, idk who you are Mr. Imposter but you're not Tyler
How dare he
Just picked up a 2007 crf450r
I think it’s perfect
OMG!!!!!!!!!! i realy love your videos and will love to meet u one day bro serios because ure vidoes is the best and actualy helps people that i can tell u
I come from DH and normally cover both bar levers, last time out on the mx bike when i just held the bars/throttle i felt i had much more control and just grabbing clutch/front brake when needed (still trying to get used to a foot brake) and saved my forearms. Not sure if this is right or not ? Mx seems to be a lot moee boom and bust i guess like throttle untill you brake and turn then throttle again, whereas DH is more feathering brakes quite a lot always tapping brakes so need fingers over them.
Also my local is track is all sand and has some difficult sections for me mostly 1 area where there is a long steep uphill like you couldnt walk up it steep, then right at the top it rolls down into a dip then up and down again, first hill is probably 30ft ish then down 10ft and up 10ft and down 10ft so its like jumps but not it feel so awkward the bike dropping away after having to gas it up and stay in control. Have you guys any tips on this type of stuff. The fast guys i watched seemed to power up to the top and kind of scrub the top to land down but the roller is only a few feet wide so not like scrubbing a tabletop just so there not comming off the hill and going to flat before the next steep slope. Sorry if thats long winded hard to describe. Cheers!
how am I not dead from shifting on the face of a jump everytime
Great explanation I’m trying to teach a new rider right now. The rhino bit made me literally laugh out loud.
Full fmf gold series exhaust, along with a fmf shorty out the back would be wonderful with black rims, and chrome exhaust, along with aftermarket, sprockets that would be beautiful 🤙🏿❤️
chrome/ aluminium rims/ hub with shiny black spokes. i sick of black rims.
Nice haircut!!
sweet hairdo Tyler! looks good
Fun wheels!
New wheels for sure!
My dream bike 🥺❣
“If your letting the RPMs go too high you need to shift”
Justin Barcia: 🤨
A new Pipe is awesome on the yz 125. Like FmF or ProCircuit or something
Fmf are better for 2-strokes I recon
Nice
01:44 maaaates, im dying 😂😂😂
The rhino noises 🤣 you crack me up dude.
great tip for us riders both trail and motocross. maybe soon I could upgrade to big cc from 150L.
hope you’ll also notice me bro. thanks!
I was fascinated by all this until I realized I already do it. 😂 but I'm also experienced.
What are your guys opinions on sitting once in the air off of a decently big jump, like 8-12 feet in the air. Always hit jumps standing but when in the air sometimes I sit or sometimes I stand, what do you think? And btw i always stand before landing
No need at all to sit in the air, it’s a waste of movement really. Takes more energy, staying standing would be ideal. Of course if your doing some kind of trick then that’s different. But just general jumping technique, always stand
The Mx Factory good to hear mostly happens when seat bouncing after the takeoff when I stand up the back end ends up kicking me in the butt and I’ve got to give the bike some gas in the air to stop it from going a little to far over, this normal?
I catch false neutral way too often, I wonder if my shifter is angled too high like you mentioned... I catch it all the time between gear 1&2 but every so often between others.. interesting tips
Most definitely your shifter needs to be leveled
@@jamesray709 I’ve positioned it to be better. I rarely ever have this happen now
between 1 and 2 is technically not a false neutral but a real neutral.. jk ;)
Nice bike
Never in my life have I experienced a “false neutral”.
It happened to me quite a few times when releasing the clutch early
Lucky I have many times
I have done it when I tried powershifting
Gavan Henderson false neutral does NOT mean ACCIDENTLY shifting into neutral when going from 1st to 2nd (or vice versus).
it’s an incomplete shift anywhere between 2nd and top gear... that’s why it’s called a FALSE neutral.
Marek Sumguy yeah it pretty much happens when you release the clutch to early when shifting
