Came to dirt bike life a little late, but even watching my riding buddies who have been at it for decades tells you that there's always something new you can learn.
Keep at it dude, better late than never!
@@joshuaculleton5230 No worries there, in the past two years knobbies have become my go-to happy place.
Welcome to the cool kids club! 🙌 😎 - Wes #betterlatethannever
Me too brother! Fascinated by all of the fundamentals and getting experience. I love this shit 🤙🏼
This guys style of teaching is perfect imo.
Thanks Josh!
Moto Academy member chiming in.(possibly only one in Japan) Great system and support. Maaaaaaanny people are good at things however the patience to explain them is a skill in itself. Top notch as always.
Flow - for me that's the ticket. I'm older (46) and if I can ride a track and pick up the flow, I can ride longer and have more fun. I take less of a beating, and the bike does too.
AJ THANKS A LOT 51 STILL LEARN .. Excelente tu trabajo.
I love wrs I have a 91 and 94 my favorite bikes
Surprisingly VERY capable bikes! Check them out in our 24 Hour Cheap Bike Challenge Race Series if you haven't already 👍🏼 - Wes th-cam.com/play/PLQNbY8vNfRmVHD4G3pTmUVMyMSvz1PDRF.html
More collaborating with AJ would be awesome.
We agree! AJ is a cool dude with a LOT of knowledge to share! - Wes
I haven't been on a bike in 20 years wish I had something like this when I was riding I'd probably still be riding
+1 For the Moto Academy, I would recommend it to anyone at any level of riding. I was a member for 5 months(ish) before I even bought my first bike (that AJ helped me pick out) and the value I pulled from his livestreams, daily posts, Q&A, the Master class courses, Professional Nutritionist input- easily worth it and I've yet to even have my film critiqued 🤙
Amen, brother! I am a member also, and it has been well worth the investment!
Yep super impressed with AJ. He's been busy with SX and still reviewed my son's MX footage within days of me sending him a DM in the app.
One thing never cleared up: with both feet on pegs and "weighting the outside peg", are you meaning basically squatting and hovering over the seat so there is less load on the seat, or more like isometric by pushing down with your leg even when sitting?
70% of weight into outside peg, 30% of weight into butt when sitting. Is that what you’re asking?
You push down with outside leg like your trying to stand up without standing up on the one leg basically. Sounds easy on paper though. More an odd feeling than anything.
Such a good video! I tend to weight my inside peg in these kind of turns, so I have started physically lifting my foot about 1/2" off the inside peg while still trying to squeeze the bike with my legs
AJ; YOU NEED TO START MAKING MAINS IN THE 250 SX CLASS.! THE Moto ACADEMY IS AT STAKE!
All riding advice is simple but not easy. The fact that all that intellectual information has to occur within a split second while the noise, motion, and forces affect you. Add natural inconsistency and riding at 30% speed sounds almost right to creat e a good habit with repetition. But, like doing scales on a piano, it can be monotonous.
Honda valley is awesome, I literally live down the road from this video and ride these trails daily, this is dope
Tudaloo Albert! ❤️🇺🇸
Toodles
That helmet is freaking SWEET! Great video
Nice to see this in the type of terrain that is most of Southern California desert. This can literally be anywhere out there. Looks to me in the Jawbone, Randsburg, Ridgecrest area but it all looks like this out there.
The only thing that could've beat this is some moisture in the dirt! lol - Wes #HighDez
Honda valley off summit road 👍🏻
@@dannymurguia1803 ?
that dude is so cool
MORE VIDEOS WITH AJ !!! This was great !
Great training video, guys! Thank you for sharing and keeping it real!!
The key is to keep your elbows in, with both feet on the pegs, and drag your knee. This is why the corner speeds are so much higher in MotoGP.
Im sorry but Wes was handling Aj on that turn. way faster good job Wes!
AJ ROCKS!
😁
Hope to see more of these!
Raced until I was 18. Before these videos existed, 28 now & raced the other day for the first time in 6yrs. (Only 1x before that, 2 races in 10 years).
I didn’t realize how much I learned to do wrong. I was taught to be loose , do exactly opposite of what is taught here.
AJ your no Spleen sticker is really something to me, as a young boy 8 years old i Ruptured my Spleen twice, i could not ride my dirt bike, go to school, or my Martial Arts for one year/ 6 months each time, but after the very first 4 months of healing i went and got in a fight with my neighbor and it got Ruptured again! so another 6 months of NOTHING!
I just got off my Dirt bike, and hopped on my pedal bike to meet the local kids at the swimming hole, it was at the bottom of a giant paved hill and i went over the handle bars at about 20-30 MPH down the hill and the bar jammed my stomach, i had to crawl home puking blood everywhere, ill never forget my mom running down the driveway to me.
Wow...that was no fun to read :(
I hope you're doing well!
@@NirHason LOL 😂
@@leadhead7338 Why LOL? haha I thought you were serious
@@NirHason I am serious, i was laughing on you saing it was hard to get through, i assumed you meant you reading through it, but yes all i said was 100% True
5:13 ''no reason to put your foot out''
The way I understand it is that putting the
foot out (not out-down, but out-forward) adds
weight to the front end. shrugs...
8:29 ''tore acl '' I bet, when that foot goes down
to the ground at speed, ouch.. feels like it could
tear your leg off.
A.J. no offense but he was way better/faster than you. Lol
Thanks Collin, but this was literally a couple of riding clips from a quick session in the high dez.... aka not a good representation of actual skill and speed. AJ was HAULING THE MAIL the next day in the 24 Hour Race (his first off-road dirt bike race). He was setting pro level lap times on an almost 30 year old bike! 🤯✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻 Check out the series if you haven't already! - Wes th-cam.com/play/PLQNbY8vNfRmVHD4G3pTmUVMyMSvz1PDRF.html
@@rmatvmc I know I was just messing with AJ. He’s definitely a great rider! I do follow his channel on TH-cam as well. 👍
kudos to the cameraman ...6 47 . fast pano dezoom rotation. don t be shy. pull out helmet or at least googles. it s just like people talking to you keeping their sunglasses... great video BTW
9:12 Tire tapping?
''tires down in the last landing of that roller''
A video explaining this in detail would be great.
420k subscribers, nice. Great job guys.
We couldn't do it without you! - Wes 😉
Man those graphics are sick! Reminds me of the good ol days!
Team Sizzle NoSpleen! 🙌 Go watch the 24 Hour Cheap Bike Series if you haven't already! - Wes th-cam.com/play/PLQNbY8vNfRmVHD4G3pTmUVMyMSvz1PDRF.html
the student rode the 90 corner better the the teacher. teacher cant do what he ask of the student
No offense to Wes, but AJ would smoke Wes on a track. This video is about teaching the fundamentals and not who went through a 90 degree turn the fastest. - Chase
👍
i learned pretty quick
Thanks
Looks like Honda valley in Hesperia
High Dez! - Wes
How do I get the "No Spleen" decals? I lost mine on the handle bar of my old CR250 15yrs ago.
Certainly sounds like you've earned em! I fractured my kidney on the bike 10 years ago. These graphics are a play on the 1995 Noleen Sizzler Yamaha race team. They had some FAST bikes and great looking graphics ha ha. Check out the 24 Hour Cheap Back Challenge if you haven't already th-cam.com/video/qCQyd627alg/w-d-xo.html - Wes
Stupid question, what’s the official name of those Oakley goggles? I’m trying to find that same pair but can’t find them anywhere haha
That is an older colorway of the Oakley Airbrake. They're always coming out with new colors and designs. Check them out! www.rockymountainatvmc.com/riding-gear/oakley-airbrake-goggle-p?
Rocky Mountain ATV MC thanks, appreciate it!
WTF ...Looks like A.J should be get the training for that guy...lol
Sorry but AJ likes women …He wouldn’t want no gay training…lol
@@kellybrown6988 ......My bad . 😆
There having another 24 hour race or is this an old video????
This video is just coming out a little late. We need a little more time before we sign up for another 24 hour race! lol 😂 - Wes
I think the wrong person was giving the instructions in this one lol.
Why sit for that corner ? Looks quite unnecessary…
“I’m attracted to the guys…”
You’re one of the slowest riders in super cross…last guy to be giving tips for speed
Probably still faster than you 🤣
Probably 5x the rider you are still… usually there’s levels to this shit bro
There’s two ways to have the biggest tower.
You can work on your own tower and keep building it up until it’s the biggest,
Or you can tear everyone else’s down to make yours the biggest.
Seeing technique is nothing like hanging it out in supercross
Hes very open about his pace and acknowledges that there are guys on another level. However, his technique is regarded as one of the best in the industry by many. Also, pace doesn't make you a good teacher. AJ is one of the best coaches and works incredibly hard for his riders, and does so much for the industry. He's so much more than a pro rider. Give him the respect he deserves
