The joys of full throttle unplanned. Still remember when I was just 15 I had the junky Suzuki TC 125 it had a selector for street or dirt unlike the TS where it just had 5 speeds and a better design. Kick starter did not work and I push started it. The needle valve stuck in the carburetor and when the engine started it took off like a rocket and wheelied I could not pull in the clutch or do anything it dragged me until it finally hit a tree and left me all bloody and calling that motorcycle names that it deserved. The joys of full throttle:) I guess it was payback for calling it a piece of sh*t on a daily bases. 😊
I just learned how to ride a dirt bike last year at age 19, I’m “self” taught as of right now and your videos have helped a lot. I’ve always been able to watch a video, retain the information and apply it effectively, that combined with your ability to teach something in a clear manner, I think, is why I’ve been able to progress consistently. Even in just a years time I’m a completely different rider, I have much more confidence. Thank you for uploading the lessons you provide others, they aren’t like learning in person, but they definitely help
You're a great teacher. Its evident in your more experienced videos but to take a full on beginner and relate to something they already know, and do it well, is a challenge.
Your videos help me so much I can't afford to get one on one training so everytime I go riding I watch one of you 'basic' videos like how to stand correctly and it has got me so far already
You are a great teacher I love the fact that you teach people your skills keep motocross alive for the future u my champ for the first time iv started lapping guys on the track and its all from your videos thank you so much love from south africa
Since i took your class at Field of dreams mx, I always remember all the things u said I needed to improve. I always catch myself making those same mistakes, and then I try to correct them hopefully and eventually I make those mistakes less and less often. I am so glad i was able to take the class It has helped me to improve so much.!
Awesome work! Your a solid dude. Its great to see not only do the kids get great advice and training from a professional. They also get to be around someone who is patient, compassionate and has great values. I wish you continued success 🙏
I practiced the Attack position for the first time at the track yesterday , I’ve never done so many laps without stopping , Appreciate the vids , Cheers
Great video, I wish someone told me to hold onto the bike and proper body position when I started. Took me 10 years to figure that out! I am getting ready to teach my kids how to ride and videos like this are great to show them. Hopefully I can make some time to do some 1 on 1 coaching with you soon. Keep up the good work!
13:45 yep that was 1st gear alright... I wouldn't have students on automatics test for neutral like that. I would have them rock the bike front to back tapping the shifter, and explain how different it feels to be in neutral. The shifter should be at the bottom and feel as well as sound solid (no clicking) this only works on automatics with neutral being at the bottom. But again you do fabulous work with the kiddos. I am glad to see that everything you're doing from starting in third to the way you encourage good seat position and posture I've been intuitively doing the same while teaching my daughter (she started on training wheels too 🥰)
Do you have any tips on committing to a jump at my local track there is a half way filled table and its a third gear jump but at last second I bail and slam on the brakes and roll it thanks for the videos they have helped me a lot on my body position and bike control I just need help with the confidence part of jumping
Very cool, i just started to teach my nephew on 85 ktm and the beginning was almost like this. But now after 10h of riding his starting to get it, just need some more self-confidence on acceleration, how should i do it or should i just wait when he is more confident with the bike?
little girls, if the shifts not click or it wont go into right gear u need the wheel to move and then shift again.. (cus parts in gear like: drum, forks and dogs might bind so rotating is needed in these types of gear boxes..) keep it up! the hard work will pay
I am interested in buying a polar heart rate monitor but I noticed that there is no motocross in the list of sport profiles, so I wanted to know which sport do you think I should select to train better? Thx
@aj My name is Ethan. I am 8 years old I was practicing Saturday and was ran over! The other rider ended up breaking my tibia. I would love to meet you. I think that you are the Mount Rushmore of TH-camrs. My dad is in the army and we live on fort benning. I crashed at monster mountian, in Tallassee AL.
I was just thinking that that bike is ideal for teaching beginners! Pitty about having to explain the "false neutral" thing and how it can miss a downshift when not moving. Dang it, bike! Just something the student needs to get used too, i guess.
@@AjCatanzaro Funny thing: I'm taking motorbike lessons for the road. Instructor keeps telling me off for overly checking if i'm in first gear! I can't help it now. I just keep tapping the gear selector to be sure i'm in first!!
I really appreciate the patience you have in teaching your craft to the young ones AJ, much respect man.
Thank you!
reality bruhh😂😂
@reality Fact lol
Aww her first whiskey throttle.
Haha!
i remember my first beer aha

Same here. Celebrating my first year riding from zero. Self taught as well. I was lucky to take a class with AJ few months back at field of dreams.
29 just started on a 125 4stroke pit bike now 5 months later decent on a 250f wish i couldve had this in my child hood
@@jorgeguerrero4353 if you take a class with a pro are you self taught? I wish I could pay him for a lesson. 😃enjoy!
Your a great coach I’m an old man and I would love to have you teach me, you have the patience of a saint my friend...
300 usd per hour buy any patience ':)))
Kidding
Pro level coach, what do you expect. A.J has personally responded to my questions for free and helped me immensely several times.
Stoooppp, worth every penny. I’m lore disappointed her pop couldn’t teach her to ride. Even knocked her over at the end
Reality, bad enough to ask for a tip from time to time. You must be super fast;) I’ll be looking for you in the outdoors next month🤩
Reality, why are you even here if you don’t like the knowledge or the cost? Honestly, just to troll
You're a great teacher. Its evident in your more experienced videos but to take a full on beginner and relate to something they already know, and do it well, is a challenge.
Wish this video was out 8 years ago I learned on a pw 50 when I was like 12 not the best since I was way big for it but now I’m on a yz125 and ripping
Your videos help me so much I can't afford to get one on one training so everytime I go riding I watch one of you 'basic' videos like how to stand correctly and it has got me so far already
I’m happy to hear that!
Brings back memories of teaching my own daughter. She'll be ripping in no time. Good stuff AJ.
This is awesome seeing you being so patient with a beginner most trainers/coaches would get frustrated but your a awesome trainer
We can really tell that you truly enjoy what you do. Thanks for helping all of us learn how to get faster, safer.
Can’t believe I watched this, no need to other than to see your great trading skills. I learned patience is a virtue.
Hahah yes it is!

Thank you!!!
Just a natural coach 🔥 love your videos ... legend 👌🏻
I love these videos I feel like I'm learning a lot just from watching :)
Good on you man. So good to see some new riders in our sport
Awesome work! Love seeing younger ones getting into the sport!

Great coaching, AJ.
Thank so much AJ for what you're doing 👊😎
We started working with our daughter when she was three
Love what you’re doing man it’s awesome to watch.
Good job AJ your one hell of a couch
Can you go over how you setup your controls. I'd love to know how you setup your levers and bars to be in a good attack position.
Hey man class at meadow valley was sick thnx for ur time again it means alot
Thanks for coming!!
This is really great. Keep it up 👍
Great job..nice coaching AJ🤘😊🙏🏻💕
Love the vids , keep up the good work. Let's get this guy a mic!
Braaaap..💪. Always like your training videos for my 10 year old

Would love to see follow up progress with this client, that is if they are ok with it.
AJ is cool as ice! 🤘
Great video!
Everyone can ride a bike. It takes some time.
Nice video👍🏼
Very cool, i just started to teach my nephew on 85 ktm and the beginning was almost like this. But now after 10h of riding his starting to get it, just need some more self-confidence
on acceleration, how should i do it or should i just wait when he is more confident with the bike?
Where do you usually do your private lessons cause I live in enterprise Alabama but I need to work on whoops and bigger doubles
Very cool different kind of video.
Good job. So hard to teach a new kid. Bikes are so twitchy and slow makes them hard to balance... but once they get it, they get it. Good job.
I love your videos!
Good job kiddo!!
little girls, if the shifts not click or it wont go into right gear u need the wheel to move and then shift again.. (cus parts in gear like: drum, forks and dogs might bind so rotating is needed in these types of gear boxes..) keep it up! the hard work will pay
i love this vid! great job ... both!
wow the patience
Video on pushing through smaller jumps ? if you suck at scrubbing lol
sadly im in australia, bit to far for me to have a class lesson with ya aj lol
I dont know why im watching this cause I already know how to ride but its still entertaining none the less
Haha thanks!
Man, you are amazing...♥️♥️
Thats a really nice intro
Hey AJ is it true if u dont use the clutch when down shift it wont hurt the clutch
I am interested in buying a polar heart rate monitor but I noticed that there is no motocross in the list of sport profiles, so I wanted to know which sport do you think I should select to train better?
Thx
You can create any custom profile I believe. I do a lot of my moto stuff on the “mountain bike” preset. Won’t effect it
@@AjCatanzaro Thanks again, greetings from Italy!
You are nice
mentor! Hope somedays we get same places n some
mentors like you in Russia :D anywas keep make vids we are like it :)
There are good mentors in RU.

New video!! :)
I would go to the class at adk but I’m broke😭
hi friend good video =-)

Yea I told her to stop being so gentle with the shifter and to make sure that thing went in! Haha
