I remember seeing BT101 in Uddevalla, Sweden back in like 02-03 or something when he rode what is now MXGP. He had one of the biggest crashes i'd seen live at that time (i was like 10 or 11). Took him about 15 seconds to get back up and get on the bike again, i remember thinking "there's no way ANYONE rides away from that" but he did. Been a massive fan of Ben ever since!
@@Jukkzter yeah, back when dudes would wad their bike, get back up and race as hard as possible. Not that it’s unheard of now, but it’s not common. I guess I’m the thought is to fight another day, but I love to see a fight from the back more than anything. That’s why Tomac is so loved I think
Training with BT would be on my bucket list of MX achievements. What a great 1st track. Retro graphics are the nuts! Ben Townley and Josh Coppins are two of my favourite riders. Shame injuries took their toll on their careers. Ben and Tyler on the 125/250f KTM's in the MXGP's were the nuts. Never got to meet Ben but did meet Josh Coppins.
Love the technique stuff from an old C grader. I now ride an E MTB and your discussion about over braking, then fighting the bike and leaning too far to the outside of the corner.....I do alot of that on the E bike! So it's now made me a better and more relaxed rider as I have tried to eliminate those habits like you are. Thanks! Folks like you and me have to think about it, it's not natural, where a 'talented' rider just does it without thinking about it. Good stuff.
I also ride a 350. I've taken many private lessons with coach Jacqueline. And everything you're getting coached is literally the same things. And I'll tell you it helps tremendously. Even the beginning of the video where you're a bit on the tense side coming off the face of the jump. I had a similar problem. And when coach got me in the right position and I relaxed and let the bike do the work. The jump suddenly became stupid easy. Like I could literally roll up and just stay steady on throttle. With little to no effort. Right over. And she also told me I was one gear too low. I clicked into 4th. And it was cake bro. Getting coached is paramount if you want to progress. You don't realize how much you're doing wrong until someone points it out.
Townley is awesome, and congratulations Jase on your success with the WSX interviews and what not I recon, I have watched almost every SX in slow motion, those guys are amazing
Hill yeih bru... how amazing, just a few tips from a pro and bang...you're on it. Such a cool dude and a really clear way of explaining those lityle riddles that cause us dramas. Well done lad.
Really good insight. I’ve rode maybe 4/5 times since 2009 due to injuries and might get back into it properly next year. Might need Ben to try and sort me out 🤣
I’m a technique nerd as well. Just started riding and racing again at 27 after a decade off the bike. Focusing all my effort on technique since has made me twice the rider I used to be 10 years ago. Significantly faster, and 10x safer.
Thanks bud more like these would help us and YOU a lot. The way you talk about your riding I thought you were SLOW but your not slow at all. Have you been letting your self talk shit about you! ❤❤ Stop It NOW You must race people then they go home CRYING cuz their Girl was watching you kick their butts😂❤😢 GREAT SHOW SIR!!
Ben is such a good teacher...i still got to handed to Gypsy dedication...he goes to a 2 day motocross school just to save a friendship whatta guy...no serious that was too funny....funny only because he meant it...he has good riding posture like ben said just need to ride more....i when i was 14 years old rode 70 hours a week...when school was out 35 hours a week when school was in...if u work it way different..to find time do the maintenence get it in the truck get ur gear train off the bike just to do 2 days a week is tricky witj a full time job....a MX bike need its dedicated mechanic thats tje real trouble u dont just jump on it kick it an ride awsy like i did on my fourstroke honda XL 125... It was maitenence free just dump gas in it...i could ride it an keep up with an RM 125 2 S. But only cause i slept on it..jk
Slow motion is 100% legit..... I was a really low level pro skier and I would get slowmo on the regular. It's like the world is slow but your mind is normal....it an amazing feeling
BTs such a legend, amazing what he sees. Awesome tips. Jase you dont scrub up too bad at all pretty impressive actually ! Cant wait to see BTs little fella in the mxon soon enough !
Jase - Really nice video. Even before Ben instructed you - you were ripping pretty good. He was right about "You have to ride more" . . . . Four times a month does not cut it. Hopefully I will retire soon and ride two or three days a week. At 61 I learned how to ride all wrong in the 70's. I went to an MXAcademy class and I have been working on the attack position, jumping in the correct position etc ever since. Some things I have learned this summer. The one handed drill will help out with body positioning . . . big time. . . .. The "roll off" before the jump always left me conflicted, but it is indeed faster to charge and roll off than trying to time it with throttle . . . . . I am doing lots of turn practice these days. I cut a rut at my local riding area and it got that bump in ithe middle. Now I know why. Finally, I like the presentation on riding on the balls of your feet. I have been working on this for a few months now. The heels off the back of the pegs indeed DO tie into body position for the rest of the ergos . . . Great video. This struck a chord with me..Thanks.
This change up of content has just elevated my favourite MX insider Channel , well done , always refreshing to see something like this in the mix of some of the best Interviews in the industry , , Really Good progression in your riding with Bens eagle eye and solid understandable instructions , You got bike skills anyway , but You can see the sharper riding by the end , good work all round J 😎
There is so much a rider can learn from watching someone ride and being shown what not to do. Because that way riders can identify with the rider and how they may be doing the same things wrong. We all feel like Chase Sexton sometimes but look like Ronnie Mac 🤣
Steady throttle take off I call "entry level", then next level like Chase trained here, is charge hard approaching, and get off the gas at the ramp and roll - to avoid endo shift body weight to the rear when getting off the gas 👍 Next next level, add more speed and start soaking up the "pop" using softer foot pegs pressure for take off👍 Pro level add even more speed and add some carve and scrub to avoid over jumping 🤙 I really like how Ben talks about approaching corners "with more intent" ☝🏆🏁
Great video loved it! Dumb question that's a stellar idea using a walkie-talkie to a earbud for coaching.... What is the setup you're using there I wouldn't mind getting one... Keep up the awesome work 🙌🙌🔥
Sik vid dude, I'm just about to pull the trigger on sxf or FC 350 after a 20 yr break from the sport. Can't wait!! Congratulations on the improvement and thanks for sharing to help us guys 👌👌👍👍👏👏👌👌
Go the FC bro. I've got the Husky and a mate has the KTM. Different bikes... He actually prefers mine haha. Just so much more compliant and usable. His is twitchy and harsh.
@@benbawden3348 good shit. Such a good bike aye. Perfect power and handling. Way more than a 250 but not as arm wrenching and torqey as a 450. Did you get the 22 or 23?
@@Jordz711 it's so nice, I figured a 450 would be to much and if I got the 250 I'd still want the 350 so went that route and I just prefer the look of the Husky over the KTM Im not quite well off enough to invest in something quite that new so I've got a 17 so the first of the AER forks and traction control ones, done 80hrs but only 20 on this top end (24 now) but she was a third the price of a new one so I'm super happy for now. I'll see if I can get some of the old skills revived and maybe buy newer next year. Love it for now
@@benbawden3348 good stuff man. An older one can be tough to find so I figured you'd be getting a newer one. The 1st one I rode was a 17 and it was awesome too. The motors on them are so good. Enjoy it man!
Wish I'd had coaching when I was riding, back in the day. I broke by left tib and fib and tore all my muscles and ligaments coming off the back on a table top. Stung a bit.
Dont know if it just wasnt covered or BT explained it out of the vid but the reason for rolling the jump is for speed and making up time? You make up time by going faster on the ground. Not in the air. Especially if you cant scrub? If youre going faster on the approach(making up time) by not constantly adjusting(losing speed and time) you will have enough speed to clear the jump even by rolling the upramp. Cool vid though
I will start off by saying I watch a lot of your interviews, and you do a great job. Heard your voice at the press conference for the anaheim 1, and really...it was quite obvious the guys loved talking to you. In fact, it almost looked like a relief for them to relax with you. So we'll done. ❤ Now...this video Was good right up until the 2nd day when your gutter mouth made me turn it off. I mean really! How hard would it have been to edit out those 5 seconds or so. Otherwise good stuff 👌
Townley was awesome on the pc kawi back in the day in supercross but he could never ride a 450 in supercross the riders were doing 15 laps lites class 20 for the 450 now the 250 guys are doing 20 laps with the 15 min plus two laps another 5 mins on a 450 25 to 28 laps
Power is balance grasshopper...nice jase has a good posture on the bike shame u dont ride more always tell urself ur are getting better never say u ride like bleep shite dont let urself hear that....beeeeeepp
Do you lift weights brother? I know it sounds ridiculous to some mx riders but the deliberate pounding you put on the nervous system in terms of motion is crucial... Thoracic extension, Scapula Retraction and most importantly the Hip Hinge. Really got to train the posterior chain to work properly. Fire from the hips into the ground or in this case the foot pegs.
Jase ...I hate the term EX World champion once you are a world champion you are a world champion. You can be a "former" or "current" Champion but you are a Champion for evermore. The EX part is wrong you don't have it taken off you. You are not divorced by a court order. The EX part is a negative and derogatory prefix.
Consider it thankfully Friendship has been saved.....hah hah violins please enjoy these tiny tiny violins as they play the thrill is gone by BB KING blues ......the thrill is gone....wa wah..the thrill is gone away...wa wah jk
Thats what i call him GYPSY i didntwant to embarrass him or me by guessing at jason so ok Gypsy will do...i see ben likes it too funny....normally i call a hacker a gypsy but not today.....Gyps got good content thanks....MX is important to keep that light bike with long travel suspension from working against u too much....a great rider can always make a bike work regardless but howmuch crap can u put up with...make it ride it gets old an takes the fun out
11:00 is gold!!! 👍🏼
Hands down your best video yet, Bin Townley is the man
Sick video jase , so many of us average joe riders will have picked so much up from just watching this
Glad to see Ben staying active in the sport. Guy was unbelievable to watch ride

Dude, all I do is geek out on technique haha! - Chase
Having BT to analyze you and giving advise, Fkn priceless!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this shit out of this mate!!! MORE GYPSY AND B.T TRAINING VIDEOS🔥🤘🤙
This was really, really good.
Sick vid! The improvements were really noticeable
This was so good, made me want to ride so bad. Bin was one of the dudes I got to follow all the way from phase suzuki days in 2001 till the end
this was fucking mint Jase. Need more of this!
Much better rider than you let on. Great job. What a awsome opportunity. 👍👍👍👊👊👊👊🏁🏁🏁🏁
Really appreciate this GYPSY and BT101 👊 👊😉
This was awesome to watch!! Definitely some good info I’ll be applying to my own riding next time. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I learned alot just watching this. I’ve been stuck on stage 2 of jumping so getting more speed has been a struggle and I didn’t know how to fix it.
This is the video I've been waiting for. Time to get my study on. Fuck yes Gypsy 👏 🙌
Sick video man. Brought up some new things for me to try at the track. Also, your bike looks incredible.
Jace bro, I really appreciate you and Townley doing this!! Solid dudes.
Great video and I loved the podcast with BT. I think you guys should do more of the training videos. Lots of great info we could all use!
That is some real good stuff. Like everyone is talking body position but that isnt near all to a good technique. Crazy inside view, loved it 🤙🏽

I would love to see Chris Perry, Wade Ibrahim or Tim Coleman on the podcast.

i would love to see a before and after of each technique... so like your first jump vs last jump, first corner vs last/best corner etc.
holy shit this is so good!
Great vid 👍some good tips!
Thanks 😊
Glad it was helpful!
