    Seems like you’re wanting to try bigger jumps and you’d do yourself a world of help with some stiffer suspension, first thing I noticed. Absolutely brutal crash, hope you have a speedy and healthy recovery 🙏🏻

    def get some suspension valving and sprung for your weight. and i would practice your techniques. Proper body position, squeezing with your legs, how to preload, how to jump properly. Search all those things on youtube and there is a ton of content by MX factory and AJ Catanzaro to help you practice. And 100% sell that bike and get something with better suspension, then get it valved for yourself

      I think the little dudes a kid pal he’s doing his best with what he’s got not everyone can buy a new bike because it’s old and tired I hear ya we all learn on shitboxes unless your dads rich 🤑

      @@blainesellars1548 first didn't know how old he was, second, I'm giving him tips so he doesn't break all the bones I broke learning to ride MX tracks. And third...idk who got a rich dad but I don't have a dad and my mom sure as hell ain't rich. I bought every bike I owned since I was 16 I'm 32. Started riding the track at 28 and went through 7 broken ribs, a broken foot, and a torn quadricep. All because I started riding above my skill level, on a bike that wasn't really set up to help me more than hurt me. If he is a kid, he should listen to all the positive advice he's getting from people who are 100% trying to help. So idk where in my comment you read some type of whatever it is that your trying to imply, but there was none of that. no where in there was anything bad or negative. I had 2000's cr 125s and an 85 through the years...a 2006 RMZ 250 was a new bike for me in 2018. In 2019 I got a good deal on a 19, and JUST sold my 19 for a used 23. And if I didn't take people's advice I'd probably still be trying to rebuild the same shit box I had in 2018.But I listened to people who wanted to help...hard work and dedication baby! That's all it is.

    I don't care what suspension you have, casing a 90-footer into the wrong side face of the landing setting down is going to break your ass off. Period.

    Get well soon man! I just want to level with you and say you are not ready to be jumping though (especially big gaps). I know its fun but it bites you bad when you cannot control the bike. When your back seriously focus and hone the ground control, its very obvious you are fighting this bike hard. Riding is fun but not when you ride over your skills and end up laying in a hospital bed.
    Just being real with you, heal up and get back on the grind!

  • @coreyploof217
    @coreyploof217 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Zero hate but a lot wrong here, biggest thing is proper bracing/body position. Also pushing the limit of your bike control/skill the entire time. Slow it down and get comfy and learn the smaller jumps , a newer bike with suspension will of course help like everyone is saying but even a 2024 with A kit can’t make up for riding outside of your comfort zone and improper technique. Hope for a quick recovery and unfortunate the lesson was learned the hard way

    Honestly bro.. In slow motion, I can see that if you didn’t panic twist the throttle so soon, you actually might have cleared that by landing back tire first (on the gas) on the backside of the table. You might have already known that but just my observation

    This wasnt a suspension issue. This was jumping technique, and lack of planning on a big jump. He tentatively approached the jump and then gunned it. Watch any pro, they gain speed out of the corner and leading up to the jump, not only on the takeoff. Also, when jumping a jump for the first time, learn from someone who can do it. Follow them, get their pace, talk to them about the jump, and then try when you're comfortable. Hope he gets better soon..... And yes, suspension will help, but that wasn't the cause of this.

    • @Colt_MX
      @Colt_MX  ปีที่แล้ว

    That should not be a yellow flag! If someone have broken a bone in race it should always be a ❌ or a red flag🚩 so it can stop the race and get the person out of the track! And when you have got the person out of the track then the race can start again
