I hope people listen to you on this. I’m old, fat and slow, but I have been practicing 8’s every couple weeks and it really really helps me stay focused, smooth and for me at 46, safe. Better rider, safer rider. Thanks for all you do. Always good information
These weekly drills are awesome, I look forward to seeing them so I know what I’m doing on the weekends. It’s only been a few weeks (as well as practicing other stuff), but I’ve noticed huge improvements last week going to two different tracks. What you guys, and others like you do, is truly amazing and is much appreciated!! I’ve been riding for 14 months now and have learned everything from you and AJ and cannot believe the difference from barely being able to ride a circle track to going to multiple tracks a week 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I remember doing this for fun before knowing it was a drill, like 3 years ago and now at Glen Helen I’m already passing people in the roughest corners cause I practiced 8s and other rut tracks I made in the sand. Basically sand dunes!
@@TheMxFactory I legit spent all day doing it because my family was just chillin at camp and I made so many rut tracks and just rode until I couldn’t hold on anymore! In the desert in the heat!
My kid on an 85 has been riding for about three years and is progressing slowly. He's getting better in rutted corners and he's worked some turn track focusing mainly on body positioning technique. For some reason, he has never really learned to use the clutch in the corners. I don't know if this is good or bad. On one hand, he is learning to carry speed into even tighter corners. On the other hand, it seems to hold him back from racing to the corners and then braking and pulling clutch to maintain rpms..if that makes sense...
Hey mx factory i have a question i have never ridden a dirt bike before im ether thinking of getting a crf 110 or a kx 85 because i want to go fast what do you think i should get?
Cmon man lets get some more info on doing figure 8 when theres no berm vs once the berm is in. Elbows up, weighting outside peg, sitting on outside of seat, all that. Lay the info out there.
@@TheMxFactory what's up dude im 31 years old do you think its to late for me to start motocross/competing? The crf125f big wheele is in my budget right now but im leaning more to the kx 100 since it produces more power and its cheaper comparing to other brands like ktm, husqvarna, Yamaha etc

That's a too small of a figure 8 for a lesson first gear how can you even call that a drill I'm not trying to put you down dude but you need to downshift on some corners.....
@@Dustin34 what do you think I don't know how to downshift are you out of your mind I'm telling everyone that you can downshift to slow down for the corner s pay attention

U live in Cali?
Some of the best videos u have ever done, keep this series going.
Will do :)
Just got my 9 year old his first bike and it’s one of the first drills i set up for him
These tips are so useful sounding I can’t wait to sell my one four wheeler for a dirt bike
Trust me, it’s so worth it, quads aren’t as exciting as dirtbikes
Great series of videos- thanks for posting these Tyler
Thank you. Best wishes from grrmany
You bet!
What should be the distance between the cones? Should you start far apart and work them closer together?
Great video! Two questions:
How many feet between the cones?
Ideally, what gear for a full size bike? 2nd?
Good questions
Yeah it will be great to get answer to this
How wide or tight should the figure 8 be? How far apart should the apexes be? More details. Thanks
Can't wait to try this!! Thanks for all the great tips and advice, it's greatly appreciated!!
I actually built a 8 track at the side of my house and began doing moto drills on the crf110 figured this way I dont piss my neighbors off lol

Awesome!
You should do a video on what to do in between motos to stay fresh
another good one gents
Is it possible to make a tight figure 8 standing position on flat ground?( No roots)
So, during no clutch use the brakes and during no brakes use the clutch?
No. Just don't use the clutch.
What is recommended distance?
😂😂😂😂 keep it together
Just like we used to do donuts when we were kids but that's different but I used to do a donut and then turn the other way and make a perfect 8
“There’s some ruts in your boobs here” 😂😂
Hey mx factory i have a question i have never ridden a dirt bike before im ether thinking of getting a crf 110 or a kx 85 because i want to go fast what do you think i should get?
What if i have a 2t. Do i still not use the clutch in the corners? (on the boob drill)
Even more reason to not use a clutch. Stop using your clutch as a crutch!
That OBS Ford...
I need to get my figure 8s out 😂😂
60 Minutes :D I am so out of shape, i feel like running a marathon after 15 Minutes on the track.
After the first 1-2 laps I've got arm pump and I'm out of breath lol
Tyler, ideally how far apart should one place the cones?
Work different lengths but at first close enough where you don’t have to shift
@@TheMxFactory Thank you 🙏
I made my 8s tight on the 450 with a 49t 1st gear no clutch no brake left & right ways what a work out.
First of all I would make that figure 8 a little bit bigger so you can get into 3rd gear at least so you can downshift on the corner
I run my figure 8 track 4 hours a week, makes me alot faster, people wonder why I improve so fast...
How far apart are the 'cones' ?
Agreed, what is an appropriate distance for the cones?
This is hepfull
I think it's better to don't put any cone, then you can focus 😂😂
🔥🔥😍
Wow that's funy
Share with your friends!

Thats been beat to death already on this channel. This is about the drills not body positioning.
Maddona has cones also! 👍😄🍻

I thought Ron Jeremy was in jail and had no idea he rode dirt bikes.
