Great stuff, but can’t I experience an achilles injury during heavy landings? And isn’t it sometimes appropriate to point the toes out to let the bike move beneath you? Also, how do I correctly sit down 😅

@CoachJames749

You could certainly experience an injury! Another thing I've talked about in the video, was making sure that you use all of the body hinge points. For example, if you ride really rigid in the hips, knees, and upper body, and you only allow your feet that flexion, you create the scenario where all of the force is going into your ankles. It's important to distribute force across all of those hinge points. I'm not saying that you won't get injured on the dirt bike, as this sport is extremely dangerous, but force must be distributed evenly! Also, the lower legs should always be locked in, so the feet need to be correct as part of that equation. What needs to allow the bike to move from side to side, is the side to side movement of the knees and hips. It is not your legs opening up and allowing the bike to freely move. Lastly, I have a seated position video coming out for you guys next Wednesday! Be sure to subscribe, and turn those notifications on!

I'm definitely not saying that it's impossible to be fast, and extremely sketchy at the same time. I think for some people, that's how they've ben built as a rider over the years, and it just ends up working for them. My goal is just to educate anyone who doesn't aspire to be like that, and wants to understand every aspect of the most optimal way to ride a dirt bike. There is no such thing as perfection, but the desire to be perfect in every way, is what makes an athlete great. It's definitely not 100% about these things that I talk about in this video, as there are endless variables that create an amazing motocross/supercross racer. I am simply just starting with this video, as this is as basic as it gets, and it lays a solid foundation to start building on. More to come! @@bkh5746

I've watched countless training videos, but this one is not just another attack position video. It is by far the most informative training video I've ever seen, including paid versions. You explain in detail the why and why not of each body position, which is incredibly helpful. Thank you for creating such a valuable resource!

Easily the best video I've seen so far, coming from someone who has never ridden before. Explaining WHY, as well as HOW, to do something helps me immensely. You've done a great job at that in this video. Most videos just say something along the lines of "squeeze with your knees and send it", and leave it at that. I love to easy to follow "landmarks" you mention (knees over footpegs, chin over the bar pad, etc). I'd 100% subscribe to a Patreon or something where I could access other lessons.

Great video. The only concept I change is I don’t squeeze the bike with my knees much. I ride off-road not moto. In rocks I let the bike move under me and I stay centered. Always head over the bar pad and I’ve worked hard to stay mostly on the balls of my feet. The grip angle I’m working on also. Old habits are hard to break

New to riding - ty so much!

Great video. I grew up learning to ride and getting into racing in the mid 80’s. At the time I had a David Bailey VHS that showed some fundamentals and introduced me to the attack position. Your explanation here breaks it down much better and I know would have helped me as back in those days you improved by just figuring things out a lot by watching vhs camcorder footage of yourself and other riders to figure out what worked or didn’t. So most of us were really flying by the seat of the pants. Teaching my kids the basics right now and I am going to have them watch this as it enforces some stuff I have been working on with them but also explains some stuff I hadn’t considered. Good stuff, thanks! Also it’s pretty interesting as I had been a lifelong alpine ski racing coach and a lot of the points you make apply to most sports, being in a good athletic position where you can move efficiently, add pressure, or absorb using flexion in all of your joints as well as the ever important, look ahead! This stuff applies really well to skiing, mountain biking and dirt bikes, so it’s cool to see these parallels reinforced and probably why these particular sports crossover so well.

This is so important video. If you cant get the hang of this on a stationary bike, train your mobility, muscle condition and balance. I've noticed many people can't do these at all because they are in such poor physical shape in some critical areas, even if they do other activities.

This depends on not only experience but also height/weight. For me to give you a better answer I need more info, but I would stick to anything that’s an off-road bike. Stay away from the sx /sxf models and get something with plush suspension, shorter gearing, and ergonomics that will be designed for the woods.

Coming from track riding and wanting to get more into off-road riding...this video is EXACTLY what I wanted to hear/learn more about. Thanks for taking the time to not just talk about but also illustrate the techniques/positions.
