I can already whip myself, but looking back whenever I needed a video like this, I never found this. I've seen alot of whip tutorials, and they're all numb nuts. this is the best video to follow guys, trust me. great video man.
This is one of the best break downs and tutorials I've come across. Majority of guys just do not know how to effectively break down and communicate the steps, and process ? Great job. Thanks.
I must say, I watched the Ricky video, but the explanation of a whip in this video helps. For whatever reason the suspension rebound did not even occur to me till you said it. As a rider for 12+years, whips eluded me. Scrubs are useful tools for racing, so I got those nailed down early. But now that I'm not racing much and hitting the dunes more, it's time to learn
Thank you man. I have a race coming up and I've gotten a lot of the movement of how to whip and have tried it just couldn't completely get it. This has helped a lot.
It's pretty cool watching people do this with an rc like a nitro buggy... they damn near flip it upside down, then correct it and position themselves into the following turn
I was able to borrow a national 125cc pro riders 250 2 smoke in1991 an RM 250..but in 1991 i was playing with scrubbing i was trying to jump early or leave early to fly over the high part of a jump....just was bored i guess....i notice as a novice the bike would really sore upwards an fight us as it went up a jump face and i hadnt learned any technic to help it stop so i thought i could jump over the part that was sending me the highest...at gainsville i scrubbed the whole finish line hill...landing just over the lip on the flat to get a run at the big double they just put in i do that get up the hill they took it out..cool thing is i taught ricky an kevin windham the line because i saw them use my line in the 125cc opening pro national...i said wow i wasnt able at 27 to get some sponsership support to make it to pro class but that aint to bad at 37 years old i showed a couple new kids a trick...i was already a big McGrath fan...mike kidrowski an mac oh yeah Doug Henry had the biggest influence on my riding i never saw any one ride as hard as Doug Henry....i saw james Stewart at age 9 at dade city...an told his dad thats the way to jump...he was jumping like McGrath...at 9 years old on a 60 kx...peace
Ethan Montgomery sorry if you freeze up no matter what the bike will fix it you'll just land sketchy or if you put to much pressure in to correct you will case and that's not good.
The track I go to has a couple short but steep table tops, so it’s slow even when clearing them completely. Is that the best jump for a novice rider to try practicing whips and scrubs on?
The difference between a whip and a scrub, a whip is more for style, but can help you clear jumps easier, a scrub does the exact thing as it applies in its name, it scrubs off air, if you want to scrub a jump, hit it two times quicker than what you will do not scrubbing, only do that while you get the movements down though
dude, when you say start whip slow, i go to the track that has a lot triple. I just made on of those, I wanna start practicing whip. my doubt is, if i don´t lean so much the bike won´t go side ways to hight right? i wannn start slow. would you think start on big jumps it´s easier? well i´ll have speed a hight. I apreciate so far
If I’m correct, if you want to whip your bike to the left (back end comes around the right) you lean a bit to the left of the bike and as soon as your front wheel leaves the lip, turn it to the right and as soon as your rear wheel leaves the lip, try and get the bars to your left side (or down towards the ground) then complete the motion and to get it straightened, straighten your body and rev the sht out of the bike.
This is actually soooooo interesting i love it !!! so essentially a whip is canceling the preload that happens at the base of the jump. causing you to get fast as possible on a jump but roll over it instead of being lauched so much high. I never understood how it was done. thank you so much !!
Thanks Review Guy! You cancel the the rebound when doing the scrub. You use the preload and rebound with the whip. You just push the rebound to the right or left of the face of the jump to do the whip.
A whip is laying the bike over, showing off for girls; A scrub is making the bike 'dirty', 'unfree' to scrub off speed to keep from launching too far for no reason; A 'Bubba-scrub' is a pre-jump, enhanced by clearing the wheels by 'laying the bike over' before reaching the top tip of the jump, thereby allowing you to STAY LOWER and GET BACK on the ground quicker.
Good information in your videos.i need to know how i can make my self jump higher and further. I cased a bubble and shattered my # 5 in my foot. last week
staying in a good balanced attack position is what i usually do, when i lean back it feels like i dont jump as far, just go fast haha, practice going around corners faster to carry your speed
Also, you can preload a jump. On the face, stomp the suspension down and it'll decompress you and launch you farther, just don't preload a jump with a really tall lip.
I'm trying to whip pretty good size jumps, but I'm having a hard time getting the back of the bike to come back around. So I end up landing sketchy as hell sideways. What do I have to do??
I saw RC at the kawi race of champions in new jersey i was racing an flagging because i road race an they taught then so i pitch in we have this monster staircase..RC may 10 years old on an 80cc kx wasupside down like this photo but a little more mind u the top is 40 high an he was 6 feet above making ward an lechine look timid..i asked who is that an my budds said ricky carmiahcal..i said who wow is all i could say...
LoganThe Llama gotta say the 125 2 stroke is a good choice if your new, because you really learn alot. if you start on a 4stroke it will heavier and therefore harder to throw it around and learn the corners, but if you just really want a 4stroke go with a 250f the 150 is very small for your size. also it's not that hard to service a 4 stroke as everyone say, its just more expensive, but i you change stuff before it goes wrong then it's just fine
I am the same height and got a 150rb and I was only 5,3 when I got it and hit a growth spirt and it got way to small you will be huge on it I would agree with everyone else and get a 250 or 125 just make sure it's a full size bike
Hi Jr. Anytime you leave off the throttle when leaving the jump your front will always drop. You want to keep a nice steady throttle off the jump face. If you have to much throttle and your body weight is to far back. You will get the front to go high. Keep a nice smooth steady throttle.
Why the fuck do whips and scrubs look so cool and feel so fucking awesome??. I'm old, old enough that i can't remember not riding but i remember jumping! (which is odd since the jumping started the second or third day of riding.lol). Anyway the motorcycle in motion is three centrifugal forces in line, in a similar motion each having their own "inertia". But lets ignore the crankshaft for the moment and just talk about the wheels right now. Ok your two spinning wheels are each creating a gyroscopic force on a fixed plane but a rotating axis (the steering head)contained within one larger field of motion. The motorcycle and rider being that, "larger field of motion" for lack of a better phrase. These to spinning forces arranged in series moving forward transfer their momentum to the ground (that is oversimplified but not important at the moment). As you leave the ground maintaining forward motion the two gyroscopic forces within the fixed plane will try to become perpendicular with each other, establishing equilibrium with their axis' at 90 degrees , Not unlike magnetic poles seeking opposite poles (similar relative to relationship only) . Now the wheels aren't really equal, nor do they posses a great deal of mass relative to the mass of motorcycle and rider. Nor do they spin very fast compared to lets say, a real gyroscope, or two for that matter. Though they are not perfectly matched, each of the wheels gyro force is significant enough to affect the motorcycle's attitude while airborne and in motion by simply helping those "inertia s' " to seek equilibrium with each other by handlebar input. The bike feels natural and wants to go there you're actually holding the bars and rotating the rest of the bike around that axis using the rebound to launch the larger of the spinning masses to orbit the lesser to seek equilibrium, a tasty piece of geometry indeed. These forces would be very obvious were you to be holding a gyroscope in your hand, and got it spinning. You see a long long time ago before computer games, the internet, and before they started using "trail bikes" for motocross we had kick ass toys that didn't need wifi, you actually could touch and usually break ! . And at some point everyone had a gyroscope not like it was "you had to have one" they were just cheap stocking stuffers at Christmas, at least until Atari came out... . Anyway back on point, If you spun it up and placed the end of it on you finger the entire mass of the object would turn side ways appearing to defy gravity! you could even hold it with a looped piece of string at one end and it would hold itself sideways you couldn't unbalance it appeared to be suspended in mid air!. However it was not defying gravity at all it was seeking equilibrium with the gravity wave. That is why whipping a motocross bike {or even a trail bike} feels amazing albeit ridiculous to describe to someone how to do who doesn't ride yet is aesthetically very pleasing to anyone! like a great piece of architecture or a surfer in a wave, a finely tuned two stroke. You are literally dancing with the Earths motion, coming into resonance with the forces of nature just for a moment. ............................"I don't know man, they just feel like the most natural thing"
Hey Mick, Lean the bike to the left on the face of the jump as your front wheel leaves the face of the jump and goes in the air lean your upper body the same way from the waist up through the shoulders and the head and turn your wheel to the right. This will lay your bike over to the left and whip the back out to the right. Turn the wheel back to straight (center) and move your body back to the center of the bike to straighten the bike and land it.
you should learn to whip 1st. whipping is easy. but practice your jump size. get comfortable with your jump. then id suggest you scrub. cause scrubbing is to give you less time in the air. scrubbing almost cuts your airtime in half.(less time in the air; more time for your wheels to turn on dirt)
+xDEADPOOL24x craigslist.com for sure, just find it on google. im from AZ so I type state capitol (phoenix craiglist) on google. you will find tons of bikes on craiglist. basically people from your state put stuff for sale, and if you like what you see you two meet up somewhere. but you better interrogate the person selling the bike to see if anything is wrong. hope this helps.
Hey mxscoob754 trying to learn this. I notice on the Whip the rider is sitting and on the scrub they are standing a bit more. I have just been learning to jump straight but I always stand into the take off. I went to practice with the small movements and tried sitting on take off. It kind of felt like it wanted to kick me over the bars when I was sitting. What to do ?
Jason Livingstone on a 250f or 125 you have to really follow thru with the throttle even after you leave the jump, its not so much a problem on a 450f or 250 because they have enough power to ride the rear suspension right thru the jump. All you have to do is stay hard on the throttle even after you leave the ground for a few feet and you'll start to see the difference, start small tho it'll land pretty sketchy if you dont do it right on a bigger jump.
if i want to learn to scrub, should i first learn to scrub or learn to whip then go to the scrub? i know how the physics work, but my only proplem i confidence :/
+kidzcannon it doesn't really matter, you can try learning both at the same time. only difference is for whipping you turn your wheel the opposite direction you leaned, scrubbing you basically lean and turn in the same direction. whipping is usually best for big jumps, and scrubbing is used for smaller jumps although not exclusively small jumps.
Can you scrub off big jumps? Does scrubbing keep lower? is that the trick so you can get the It seems easier off of small steep singles. Also should you be smooth and have constant velocity? or accelerate off the face?
A quick sorta fluid question, but do you think I could make it pro in mx if I just started at 18? I see kids riding at like 5 and I get kinda discouraged by that.
Man I started late too, I'm training for my first race now. If you have the balls to fly through the air, the time to practice each week, money to maintain your dirt bike, and the will to win....then yes, you can go far.
I may be a bit late (or am I?), but I'm 18 right now and I've just started enduro/motocross. I've made really fast progression just by talking with more experienced riders and trying out the techniques. So far I've done about 15h on my bike, and pretty much the only thing left to learn is scrubbing and whipping. So yes. I believe you could do it!
Gavin Kerber here’s the deal man not to discourage you. I’m in the same boat. You won’t have the option to ride for a factory team or anything like that. You should be getting signed at 18. You could become a local pro or even earn your pro card for sure.
So I've seem this video with Ricky C narrating the step-by-step actions. That said, I like how you dissect is a few layers deeper. However, you don't confirm one thing that Ricky mentions, "stay seated on your bike". That said, can you please confirm that you stay seated and DO NOT stand up? Thanks Bro!
Jeffery Marsh you can stand up just dont absorb the rebound effect of the shock when you go to throw the whip. Sitting is so much easier when you first start and when you get it right it flows so naturally it feels awesome
depends on how much you scrub,there is no chart saying it will shave off 10 seconds or anything. all lap times are different,but it will shave time off your laps.
Hello, I'm new at MX I've got a YZ 125 looking into start racing, I ride on tracks already, should a person like me try scrubbing, I've ridin a while, but this seems a bit advanced. How difficult is this actually?
Hey Shady, It is a more advanced technique! Like Noah commented above don't try it in a race if you have never practiced it before. Check out these videos to practice mastering the scrub. motocrosstrainingacademy.com/master-the-scrub/
If you can even come close to Ricky in the video then you should be doing instruction. The average person that just rides on weekends ain't coming close. It's like showing someone surfing pipeline as a example to people that just started surfing.
I can already whip myself, but looking back whenever I needed a video like this, I never found this. I've seen alot of whip tutorials, and they're all numb nuts. this is the best video to follow guys, trust me. great video man.
I have been looking at whip tutorials for months trying to figure this out and none of them explain it as good as you just did thank you!
This is one of the best break downs and tutorials I've come across. Majority of guys just do not know how to effectively break down and communicate the steps, and process ?
Great job. Thanks.
Thank you I appreciate that!

This really helped me! Female army member here!
Caroline Pettersen I know a female that likes a good whip too.... Oh, wrong activity.....
This is advanced level. Nobody at my local track is doing table tops 😊🥓🧯
Bra THANK U! Great breakdown. Nelson's scrub is one of the coolest things I have seen so far. AWESOME!!!
thanks bro i love the step by step help i cant thank you enough i cant wait to test this out
Wonderful! This channel should be way more popular. You've found yourself another subscriber!
Thanks El...Welcome to the Army!
Thank you man. I have a race coming up and I've gotten a lot of the movement of how to whip and have tried it just couldn't completely get it. This has helped a lot.
For an easy whip, get into the jump sitting as Ricky. This position let you use the inertia of the rear wheel of your bike.
Helpful stuff u going on here, I'm noticing I can whip it to the right a little bit nothing to impressive but it's a start.
Great instructional, thank you very much!
Subbed, wherever you found this theory... I like this. I could scrub before but now my whip looks right!
It's pretty cool watching people do this with an rc like a nitro buggy... they damn near flip it upside down, then correct it and position themselves into the following turn

biggest thing for me was understanding that sometimes the bike just rides itself however figuring out when it can ride itself comes with experience
i tried this on my 3 wheeler and crashed
Bruh 💀
thanks this will help out a lot next time I hit the track can't wait to try it out on the ASPS track
hey what up its josh from spartan riders this video really helped increase track times
Thanks Josh, Glad I could help you improve your lap times. That's the goal!
Very helpful! Thank You!
Great video! Thank you
What would you suggest to practice first for a beginner that doesn’t know how to do either?
it helped me man. Youve got another army member!!
Awesome Ethan! Glad it helped. Welcome to the army!!
have you ever had anyone stop in the middle of a whip and land in thare side?
Ethan Montgomery sorry if you freeze up no matter what the bike will fix it you'll just land sketchy or if you put to much pressure in to correct you will case and that's not good.
here's how I learned to whip mark Braden showed me
me: mark teach me how to whip
mark: just lean the bike man it works
me: -_-
tried it and it works
tryumph jordan trueeee
tryumph jordan you’re kidding 😧 for real?
tryumph jordan but how you get it back
make a yt vid
Interesting, I never thought that it would have to do with turning the handlebars.
great video and was good help.
Great video man. I actually can scrub leaning to the right not to bad but Im having a hard time doing it the other way any advice?
The track I go to has a couple short but steep table tops, so it’s slow even when clearing them completely. Is that the best jump for a novice rider to try practicing whips and scrubs on?
Going o practice this tomorrow thanks! (Subbed)
When you gone drop a new training video?
How about tomorrow!?
@@mxscoob754 Hell yeah
I don't see a video 😕
I missed it by a day-check now!@@bunnyman6321
@mxscoob754 Thanks Scoob!
I saw that video before you just posted. I rember the flow series.

very useful vid
i am beginner in mx, i just started last year, which is easier to start with: the whip or the scrub? altough i think the whip.
Thanks man, The whip hands down. Start with that!
dude, when you say start whip slow, i go to the track that has a lot triple. I just made on of those, I wanna start practicing whip. my doubt is, if i don´t lean so much the bike won´t go side ways to hight right? i wannn start slow. would you think start on big jumps it´s easier? well i´ll have speed a hight. I apreciate so far
on the whip do you stand up and lean the bike of do you sit and lean the bike down?
Stand up!
If I’m correct, if you want to whip your bike to the left (back end comes around the right) you lean a bit to the left of the bike and as soon as your front wheel leaves the lip, turn it to the right and as soon as your rear wheel leaves the lip, try and get the bars to your left side (or down towards the ground) then complete the motion and to get it straightened, straighten your body and rev the sht out of the bike.
This is actually soooooo interesting i love it !!!
so essentially a whip is canceling the preload that happens at the base of the jump. causing you to get fast as possible on a jump but roll over it instead of being lauched so much high. I never understood how it was done.
thank you so much !!
Thanks Review Guy! You cancel the the rebound when doing the scrub. You use the preload and rebound with the whip. You just push the rebound to the right or left of the face of the jump to do the whip.
yeah. scrub helps you shave your time floating in the air. the whip just looks cool

A 'Bubba-scrub' is a pre-jump, enhanced by clearing the wheels by 'laying the bike over' before reaching the top tip of the jump, thereby allowing you to STAY LOWER and GET BACK on the ground quicker.
No. A whip does not cancel out your preload. Scrub cancels preload.
Good information in your videos.i need to know how i can make my self jump higher and further. I cased a bubble and shattered my # 5 in my foot. last week
staying in a good balanced attack position is what i usually do, when i lean back it feels like i dont jump as far, just go fast haha, practice going around corners faster to carry your speed
OK thanks i will asap still be bout 3 weeks b four i can put any wait on foot
Also, you can preload a jump. On the face, stomp the suspension down and it'll decompress you and launch you farther, just don't preload a jump with a really tall lip.
thank you i car ride again now . i will do next weekend
Thanks😝
Pretty advanced instructions. Need to show how beginners can learn in baby steps..
Thanks
helps alot
I'm trying to whip pretty good size jumps, but I'm having a hard time getting the back of the bike to come back around. So I end up landing sketchy as hell sideways. What do I have to do??
Just let the bike flow. Don’t get stiff. If you whip correctly the bike will come back to you
I saw RC at the kawi race of champions in new jersey i was racing an flagging because i road race an they taught then so i pitch in we have this monster staircase..RC may 10 years old on an 80cc kx wasupside down like this photo but a little more mind u the top is 40 high an he was 6 feet above making ward an lechine look timid..i asked who is that an my budds said ricky carmiahcal..i said who wow is all i could say...
Good Video!
sounds like your from Pittsburgh man good video

Hi, I am 5'6", is a CRF150 a good size dirtbike for me? Any help is appreciated
Maybe go for a 2 stroke they are better for learning on and are a good way to learn how to mechanic they are a lot easier to work on
At that height I would try a 125 or 250f. You are going to look like a giant on a crf150 or 80
LoganThe Llama gotta say the 125 2 stroke is a good choice if your new, because you really learn alot. if you start on a 4stroke it will heavier and therefore harder to throw it around and learn the corners, but if you just really want a 4stroke go with a 250f the 150 is very small for your size. also it's not that hard to service a 4 stroke as everyone say, its just more expensive, but i you change stuff before it goes wrong then it's just fine
I am the same height and got a 150rb and I was only 5,3 when I got it and hit a growth spirt and it got way to small you will be huge on it I would agree with everyone else and get a 250 or 125 just make sure it's a full size bike
how are you using the throttle ? if at all when whipping and scrubbing
Just like a normal jump, just don't let off the throttle on the face of the jump.
Hi Jr. Anytime you leave off the throttle when leaving the jump your front will always drop. You want to keep a nice steady throttle off the jump face. If you have to much throttle and your body weight is to far back. You will get the front to go high. Keep a nice smooth steady throttle.
Why the fuck do whips and scrubs look so cool and feel so fucking awesome??.
I'm old, old enough that i can't remember not riding but i remember jumping! (which is odd since the jumping started the second or third day of riding.lol). Anyway the motorcycle in motion is three centrifugal forces in line, in a similar motion each having their own "inertia". But lets ignore the crankshaft for the moment and just talk about the wheels right now. Ok your two spinning wheels are each creating a gyroscopic force on a fixed plane but a rotating axis (the steering head)contained within one larger field of motion. The motorcycle and rider being that, "larger field of motion" for lack of a better phrase. These to spinning forces arranged in series moving forward transfer their momentum to the ground (that is oversimplified but not important at the moment).
As you leave the ground maintaining forward motion the two gyroscopic forces within the fixed plane will try to become perpendicular with each other, establishing equilibrium with their axis' at 90 degrees , Not unlike magnetic poles seeking opposite poles (similar relative to relationship only) . Now the wheels aren't really equal, nor do they posses a great deal of mass relative to the mass of motorcycle and rider. Nor do they spin very fast compared to lets say, a real gyroscope, or two for that matter. Though they are not perfectly matched, each of the wheels gyro force is significant enough to affect the motorcycle's attitude while airborne and in motion by simply helping those "inertia s' " to seek equilibrium with each other by handlebar input. The bike feels natural and wants to go there you're actually holding the bars and rotating the rest of the bike around that axis using the rebound to launch the larger of the spinning masses to orbit the lesser to seek equilibrium, a tasty piece of geometry indeed.
These forces would be very obvious were you to be holding a gyroscope in your hand, and got it spinning.
You see a long long time ago before computer games, the internet, and before they started using "trail bikes" for motocross we had kick ass toys that didn't need wifi, you actually could touch and usually break ! . And at some point everyone had a gyroscope not like it was "you had to have one" they were just cheap stocking stuffers at Christmas, at least until Atari came out... .
Anyway back on point, If you spun it up and placed the end of it on you finger the entire mass of the object would turn side ways appearing to defy gravity! you could even hold it with a looped piece of string at one end and it would hold itself sideways you couldn't unbalance it appeared to be suspended in mid air!. However it was not defying gravity at all it was seeking equilibrium with the gravity wave.
That is why whipping a motocross bike {or even a trail bike} feels amazing albeit ridiculous to describe to someone how to do who doesn't ride yet is aesthetically very pleasing to anyone! like a great piece of architecture or a surfer in a wave, a finely tuned two stroke. You are literally dancing with the Earths motion, coming into resonance with the forces of nature just for a moment. ............................"I don't know man, they just feel like the most natural thing"
when you say "lean to the left" on the jump face, do you mean just your body? or your body and the bike?
Hey Mick,
Lean the bike to the left on the face of the jump as your front wheel leaves the face of the jump and goes in the air lean your upper body the same way from the waist up through the shoulders and the head and turn your wheel to the right. This will lay your bike over to the left and whip the back out to the right. Turn the wheel back to straight (center) and move your body back to the center of the bike to straighten the bike and land it.

+Master Chimichanga thank you
I was the 1,000th like!
so basically with a whip you want the bike over top of you and with a scrub you want to be on top of the bike?
Scrubbing is an art of war! From learning to fully whipped out upside down!
Hey mxscoob754 trying to learn this. I notice on the Whip the rider is sitting and on the scrub they are standing a bit more. I have just been learning to jump straight but I always stand into the take off. I went to practice with the small movements and tried sitting on take off.

Marc Pigeon Thx dude, Im on a 125 so its very light. I will try what you mentioned tmr.
My first whip- final
If I tried that, my body would sound like a bag of potato chips being dropped on the ground.

Is it because you’re fat abs ugly
Practice these sings?

Man I started late too, I'm training for my first race now. If you have the balls to fly through the air, the time to practice each week, money to maintain your dirt bike, and the will to win....then yes, you can go far.
thanks man, appreciate the encouragement! Good luck in your first race!
Gavin Kerber not trying to discourage you or anything but if you haven't gone pro by the time you're 20 you probably won't make it
I may be a bit late (or am I?), but I'm 18 right now and I've just started enduro/motocross. I've made really fast progression just by talking with more experienced riders and trying out the techniques. So far I've done about 15h on my bike, and pretty much the only thing left to learn is scrubbing and whipping.
So yes. I believe you could do it!
Gavin Kerber here’s the deal man not to discourage you. I’m in the same boat. You won’t have the option to ride for a factory team or anything like that. You should be getting signed at 18. You could become a local pro or even earn your pro card for sure.
those guys can scrub those bikes so hard, i can do a mini scrub but nothing like those guys, i can throw a decent whip but scrubs i need work on
So I've seem this video with Ricky C narrating the step-by-step actions. That said, I like how you dissect is a few layers deeper. However, you don't confirm one thing that Ricky mentions, "stay seated on your bike". That said, can you please confirm that you stay seated and DO NOT stand up? Thanks Bro!
Jeffery Marsh you can stand up just dont absorb the rebound effect of the shock when you go to throw the whip. Sitting is so much easier when you first start and when you get it right it flows so naturally it feels awesome
How much lap time will a scrub save you?
depends on how much you scrub,there is no chart saying it will shave off 10 seconds or anything. all lap times are different,but it will shave time off your laps.
I've heard enough science.....
@@fredgarvinMP could it be 1 second? - here's a scrub setup - saved .31 seconds. th-cam.com/video/ZC4f9TCg4zw/w-d-xo.html
Hello, I'm new at MX I've got a YZ 125 looking into start racing, I ride on tracks already, should a person like me try scrubbing, I've ridin a while, but this seems a bit advanced. How difficult is this actually?
It's pretty difficult and I wouldn't try it in a race but practice is it slowly
Hey Shady, It is a more advanced technique! Like Noah commented above don't try it in a race if you have never practiced it before. Check out these videos to practice mastering the scrub. motocrosstrainingacademy.com/master-the-scrub/
i need help jack paul
If you can even come close to Ricky in the video then you should be doing instruction. The average person that just rides on weekends ain't coming close. It's like showing someone surfing pipeline as a example to people that just started surfing.
Thanks for the video and info!

Now watch me... Oh yeah yeah with the bike. Yeah that's what I meant..
its malcom not nelson
Who else watched this for mountain biking?
... if the whip goes wrong, they may name a jump after you - "Chad-A-pult"....
All you’re doing is table tops like we did as kids on our bmx bikes ... 🤔
Not really it looks like it but it’s a different technique
You have to ride at least 10+ years
