Love it. Used the feet on the pegs drill yesterday and already notice a difference. Saved myself with throttle instead of dabbing ended up being much faster

First race in years coming up this weekend. I broke my back in 2010 on a bike and haven't really ridden dirty bikes since. I have any 6 hours on my new bike and I'm taking the plunge Saturday. Your videos give me confidence

I need all the help I can get for a 40 year old beginner

[lucastuckett]

Getting my first bike this week, been watching all your videos for tips

[TwistedTriggerEnduro]

Great pro tips!! Keep teaching, were allll ears. 🔥💪

[mosigrosi]

Here's another secret tip on my part: keep the throttle a little open the whole curve so that the chain is always a little bit taut. The earlier the gas is opened a little, the better. But not much!

Hey Tyler, first of all, thank you so much for the best quality tips on MX techniques on Youtube, they really helped me as a beginner rider. My question concerns the separation of braking and turning that you suggest (and which is generally suggested), it'a being said that you have to finish your braking before you lean (turn) the bike into the corner, but we also know that upon releasing the brakes, the suspension rebounds and thus puts the weight off of the front wheel decreasing the contact patch, so it's recommended to stay on the brakes a little longer, namely past the tip in (or lean) which is called "trail braking" in street/track riding. What's your opinion on that? Is it irrelevant to MX riding or is it simply a more advanced cornering technique?

[jerryhill]

You rock bro. Your a great technician and teacher. Thanks, player.

Can you guys make a video on how to jump for total beginners? (Like first time ever jumping)

[rotaryjunkie]

Keep up the hard work, your videos have helped me progress so much. I am asking for some help. Ive watched the Shifting Mistakes video you made 2 yrs ago, but could you do a how/when to shift. Like shifting in the air to setup for the next section or clutching or not clutching to shift....shifter setup. im thinking on adding 2 inches to my shifter. i wear size 13 boots and i hit false neutral or drop a gear by mistake sometimes

Hi MX factory, , , got a question for you guys all the way from new Zealand. I'm just learning to ride and watch ur vids, ,, there awesome btw. I know what the right thing to do is when riding now with body position throttle etc but I'm having trouble being fast enough moving around the bike. Like I can't seem to keep up with moving forward then moving my foot to the rear brake, changing down... All that sorta stuff. Can you make a vid on drills to do so my brain will do all the things fast enough... Will this just become second nature with experience. I keep doing things like going over a jump into a corner then by time the corner hits I haven't had time to brake or move forward on the bike or change down etc... Any help would be awesome

[mudchannel]

Thank u for the amazing content as usual mx factory

[rodneyisidorerojas]

This is the first time I've heard to keep the feet on the pegs while cornering. Usually they say keep the inside foot up to balance the outside momentum of the bike.

Hey! I need a lot of help on jumps, and corner. Are you able to help me with that?

[TM-lwwn]

my.02 worth, try to find a place you can set up a small track with 3 or 4 corners all going the same way and pound laps for 20 minutes one way then go do normal riding and next time go the other way around. pounding corner after corner after corner builds muscle memory and experience. try to keep the speed down like 1st gear corner with a short burst of 2nd between then hard on the brakes into the next. you want that shift up and down, also for memory.

[willmcgregor]

Thanks
Newish to mx. Nice explanation.
Techs for road cornering v different from dirt.
Safest place for foot/ankle is on the pegs.

[EddySteadygo]

Hi what boots are u using in this vid. i take it there SDI .Thanks

[kyleallen]

Thanks for all the tips! New to motocross and only getting my bike Jan next year! I however would love to see body position(camera on handlebar facing to rider) side to side with a helmet view to see what you do where. I don’t understand front wheel braking and how much pressure can be used with what body position!
Thanks in advance!

[NirHason]

Who smashed the pipe on that Honda?! ;P
״keep feet on the pegs" - I see that Aj got you on that one haha

Great video!

[heberson]

Depending on the corner and what side your shifting on depending on the bike
