You’ve progressed insanely quick!! i myself have been ridding for about 2 1/2 years and still cant really even clear a jump, im hoping to hit the track much more often once i get my license next month
Thanks David!! First time I hit a motocross track was 2017 and I've been hooked ever since. It all comes with time and practice. You'll be hitting jumps no problem with more seat time 😁 Good luck passing your license test!
That’s awesome! I’m trying to learn how to do that. I practiced at my first race that I just had yesterday which as I found out was not the right time to practice😂I thankfully didn’t crash
One step at a time young man..looking good..I have watching your videos since your rmx..you have gotten so much better..by the end of this summer you will be whipping it all the time..your fundamental are sound!👍😁
Dude nice work! I’m in the same boat, never learned to whip, but am confident on jumps just fine. I’m gonna give her the berries and try some this summer!
Thanks dude! The back double just has a big drop in the gap which makes it seem intimidating but it's an easy jump once you hit it the first time. You riding tomorrow?
Scrubbing is just something that happens naturally. As you get faster and push harder you’ll kinda start carving off the lip and shoving the bars down more and more. Or at least that’s how it happened for me
Hey Derek! Really great content, I'm a newer rider and have a yz125. To jump a 2 stroke are you supposed to get a ton of speed up to the jump and then turn the throttle off once you get to the face? Or do you still have the throttle on a tiny bit when you're going off the face of the jump? Whenever I jump my nose always sky rockets up and I'm trying to figure out how to not do that lol... Thanks!
Hey Joseph thanks for checking out the video! A good rule of thumb is to keep the bike at a consistent throttle level. That can be a smooth constant acceleration on the throttle all the way off the jump, or that can be a consistent zero throttle off the face of the jump. Try to never blip the throttle while going off a jump. In addition, always remember to squeeze with your legs and use good attack position body form so your weight is centered with the bike as it goes into the air. I'm not an expert rider - these are things I've learned from watching pro riders tutorials on TH-cam and what seems to work best for me. Happy riding and stay safe dude!
is it too late to get into motocross when im like 19 and get a job and can afford it? i had a pitbike like ages 12-14 and then i got a 125sx and just rode it in the forest, had it for like a year but all my money went to gas so could not afford pistons... sold it got a 125 four stroke supermoto because had a license to ride it on road, then i had some mopeds and a 125 husq 2stroke supermoto in the traffic or still have it, need to get a car first when i sell it sooo... but point was i'm comfortable with bikes but never been in the track. just some fucking around enduro stuff and more supermoto street stuff..
the only reason people hate on them is because it's a race bike and it has 4 less power than all other bike brands. But that being said they are amazing for beginners. I just got a 2014 rmz 250 yesterday and it is a monster.
I've definitely considered it and tested out a 7 and 9 recently. Questions for ya. Did you watch this video on your phone and do you like hearing the talking while riding?
Hey I’m Traitn I live in Gloucester I ride a 2009 kx250 f I was wondering if you were going to the track you are riding in now Sunday I would love too meet you
I've gained SO much more speed, bike control, and good body form on the KTM 150 in just a few months compared to an entire year on the KX250F. The 2 stroke has trained me to be a way better rider than the KX ever did and when I hop back on a 250f I'll be faster. Besides that, it's just a dirt bike, I can go buy another new 250f at any moment 😁🤘
@@DerekHallman its so easy bro a couole tries and ud get it down. Whenever ur front comes high pull the clutch tap the brake rev er out shes comes down perfect 👌🏼

Heck yeah man looking good! Every little bit more sideways you get just ups that flow factor! That’ll keep getting better and better
Thanks Matt!
When you whip try to carve out with your bike so to speak come in at a angle and throw it the other way. Love the content ✌🏻✌🏻🤟🏻
Gonna keep practicing that, gotta get loose!

To prevent the bike from air wheeling just tap the front brake but dont hold it or you’ll land flat on your face. Good video!
That’s awesome! I’m trying to learn how to do that. I practiced at my first race that I just had yesterday which as I found out was not the right time to practice😂I thankfully didn’t crash
Dude great video! 45 years old just got my first dirt bike. First goal after learning the basics is learning how to wip.
You are getting faster and faster and better every time you post a new vid. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Logan!!

Your doing a great job for starting, I’ve been trying to learn and I’ve went through 3 sets of rear plastics for my bike lol. Love the vids
lol did you go through 3 sets of rear plastics from crashing!? thanks carter I appreciate it
@@DerekHallman Yeah I have a Kawasaki Kx85 and am trying little by little and I end up panic revving it and I fall lol.
Dude nice work! I’m in the same boat, never learned to whip, but am confident on jumps just fine. I’m gonna give her the berries and try some this summer!
Thanks Dan! Looking forward to seeing some vids of you throwing fat whips this summer 😁
full send bro never lift! weekend vibes mobbin deep
I have to say from the gopro i was thinking the whip didn't looking that good but from the third person it was looking sickkkkkk🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
thank you brooooo!
one thing that helped me get the bike sideways is to jump at an angle instead of straight on, it'll force the back wheel to slide up the lip
yeah for sure I will try that thanks!
That's so cool helping your friends and cheering them on as they learn to do jumps you guys were riding pretty good and the whips look good also👍😁
Thank you Davey! Best part about riding to me is when both myself and my friends conquer new challenges. I'm sure you know the feeling 😁
@@DerekHallman yep
For me it just came with speed. And don’t be blip the throttle on the face. Keep the same throttle all the way up and be smooth
Honestly by what you say and how you ride I think a Ktm 350 sxf would be a perfect bike for you. You should try to test ride one.
I'd love to test ride a 350!
@@DerekHallman Yeah because you said you like reving out a motor more and you didnt need all the power of a 450 the 350 is right in the middle 👍
@@DerekHallman kinda surprised you haven't tried one yet!
You were ripping that day bro 🤙🏻 I need to pace you over that back double idk why but it sketches me out lmao
Thanks dude! The back double just has a big drop in the gap which makes it seem intimidating but it's an easy jump once you hit it the first time. You riding tomorrow?
@@DerekHallman Yeah I just haven’t worked up to hitting cause of that drop, and yeah we were talking about hauling out there tomorrow
@@SinisterS1K I'll see u there tomorrow
That track i could ride literally, all day
I was thinking the same thing!

@@DerekHallman Thanks for the quick reply! I'll definitely try out your advice, thanks so much man! Stay safe!
What track are you at? It look super fun
I was here yesterday, where is your go pro mounted??
Top 2 tempos 👏👏✊🏻✊🏻
My advice is to stay really really loose, carve the takeoff slightly, and be more aggresive and strong with pushing the bike to the side
You're right, gotta get loose!
You should go to clubmx and get on the big jumps so you get more air time to practice more
Dam bro how fast this is
#best TH-camr
Thanks dude!
are you going to upgrade somewhen on 250 2stroke?
I'll probably get a new 250f by the end of the year
@@DerekHallman get a 2 stroke :D
Good vidéo 👍
Jeez , this is no inside track , whats up with all that hella slippery mud
Very nice jumps😲
thank you!

Is a suzuki rmz 250 good for beginning?
The power on them are very controlled and smooth, so yea go ahead mate
Suzuki’s are reliable people just give them hate
the only reason people hate on them is because it's a race bike and it has 4 less power than all other bike brands. But that being said they are amazing for beginners. I just got a 2014 rmz 250 yesterday and it is a monster.
Yes for sure
Sick nice video Man
Thank you!
U prefer 2 or 4 strokes
Gaspool emezing pren 👍
You should get a 350 sxf I have one and it sooooooo good
Good job 👍
thanks !
is it time for a new GoPro?
I've definitely considered it and tested out a 7 and 9 recently. Questions for ya. Did you watch this video on your phone and do you like hearing the talking while riding?
If I’m 5-9 135 pounds is this a good option
If your talking about the size of bike I would recommend a 250
Hey I’m Traitn I live in Gloucester I ride a 2009 kx250 f I was wondering if you were going to the track you are riding in now Sunday I would love too meet you
Hey Traitn I wasn't there on Sunday hope you had a fun day rippin
@@DerekHallman damn I’m going again next Sunday but I go to south fork a lot on Wednesday

In an other video you do a really sick whip, so why "noob learning whips" ?
I honestly can't believe that you got rid of your Kawasaki 250 for a KTM 125 2 stroke probably one of the worst trade-offs I've ever seen
I've gained SO much more speed, bike control, and good body form on the KTM 150 in just a few months compared to an entire year on the KX250F. The 2 stroke has trained me to be a way better rider than the KX ever did and when I hop back on a 250f I'll be faster. Besides that, it's just a dirt bike, I can go buy another new 250f at any moment 😁🤘
For a pure fun factor a 125 2 stroke is about as good as it gets.
@@199Pastrana if you like to go slow then sure ive hade a 125 150 250 300 and a 450 im on the 300xc right now and i would never go back
Im the same rn
You should learn brake tapping
Definitely a skill I need to have I'll make a vid learning that next time I ride 🤘
@@DerekHallman its so easy bro a couole tries and ud get it down. Whenever ur front comes high pull the clutch tap the brake rev er out shes comes down perfect 👌🏼
