WHOOPS the scariest part of Moto/Supercross !!! I never got the hang of them and just went back to trail riding ...LOL To hell with the tracks !!! I quit riding at 31 yo , had one NEW bad ass 1991 KX 125 that had everything done but a port and polish , the thing was faster than I wanted to ride it !! I let the mechanic that did all the work for me race it many times and he just waxed people on it , has a kid that was sponsored by Honda and had several new pupmed up 125's and I let him ride it on the supercross track and he fell in love with it and said it had so much more power then his as the trippels were easy to jump on my bike! I sold it to some 16 year old kid that had never been on a dirt bike , his dad wanted it for him so i sold it to him!!!
@@darrell3118 that is awesome! I really hope you can get back on a bike soon and pick that trail riding back up. Dirtbikes are so much fun no matter what your are doing on them 💗. Thank you for watching the video! 🫡
I've been riding for 40 years, mainly desert racing. About 5 years ago I transitioned to riding motocross. I have to say that whoops are extremely technical and difficult. When I go to Colorado a few times each year I hire a riding coach to critique my riding. All of this takes time. Keep up the good work and oner day you'll be a whoop expert. BTW: is this your own private track?
@@rodger2499 Thank you Rodger! Yes sir, the track I built in the backyard. The wife and I live in the same shop as our construction company. So I’m very blessed to have property and access to equipment. But I’m also trying to be patient and take baby steps so I don’t hurt myself lol I think it’s super cool you are riding at your age, keep age just a number. You’re still very young 💪
so, your're actually doing very well. I'd like to see a third person side view of you to see where your elbows and hips are. but just make sure you are looking three whoops ahead, and are going through them in 3rd or fourth. You are already getting "on top of them" just come in a tick or two more hot and you'll float really well. I'd maybe go just a little more dead on your rear rebound since the set is short you shouldn't have to worry about the rear packing. Nothing signficant just something to drive you alittle more. But this is about as fast as any B arenacross guy is getting through them most places.
@@ClarkStar866 Thank you Clark! I appreciate the tips. I’m excited to get comfortable and add some more whoops. When I do another whoop video in the future I’ll add a side view, I’m curious myself 👍
Probably would have been better to build only two whoops. After you master that then add more. With only two you're probably less likely to crash if you get put of line.
Good job! Skimming really isn't that difficult. Dropping your front wheel the first time you miss the top of a whoop trying to find your limits on speed is hard.
Nice progress!
@@nicholasbehel2051 Thank you 🙏
Looks like a good start. Keep it up
@@sampson7941 🙏🙏🙏 thank you!

Can I come ride, I started a little bit over 2 years ago (Texas) 👍
@@seventytwojus if you’re ever in the area! 🤙
@@MartinezHQ hell yeah - any chance you all are near the Texas border? I watched one of your vids that said Aztec, which is the other side haha
@ Colorado. We live about 30 minutes from Eli Tomac lol
@@MartinezHQ damn 😅
@@MartinezHQ if I bought some land, how much does it cost to make a bare *minimum track? What machines are required... maybe a good topic for a video
Build more whoops!! Come in hot, case your front end and hold the throttle..or more throttle through them
@@travisolsen3943 that’s the plan Trav! I’m just scared right now lol… But we’ll get there 💪. I appreciate you watching the video 🤝🫡.
@MartinezHQ braaaappppp buddy!!!
@MartinezHQ I always liked triple in and case the top of that and hold the gas hard! Don't ever lay off the gas when blitzing!!

@@kellyperry8755 great advice! I’m getting the hang of them now. But two - three to start with would’ve been a great idea, I agree with you 👍
