Which part of your body positioning do you need to work on???

[brapperdan]

These videos are great. I’ve only been riding a few years and I’m always trying to get better. It’s so hard to remember all these things while riding and I find myself going to bad habits because it just feels easier. I just gotta keep practicing I guess

I learnt how to ride a motorcycle (not a dirtbike) when I was a little girl. Then 40 years passed and I decided to try dirt biking (Honda CRF 230). It's been amazing! yet I have so much to learn. These videos have helped me enormously. Such little details make such great difference. The explanation and the images makes it so easy to understand. Good job!

I'm 31 years old and I've only been riding a few years. I'm lucky to have a small area with a sort of natural track right beside my house to practice on. I go there every day after watching these videos to improve my riding. Thanks so much and cheers from Alberta Canada.

Love these “How to drive a dirt bike like a pro” tutorials. Greatings from a Crf 250 R 2005 newbie raider.

PROPER BODY POSITION is "EVERYTHING"...Excellent training vid Thx!

[gustavcoetzee]

I am a middle aged man with a pit bike, trying to learn, do something I like, the art of motorcycle maintenance, and mx is strict, I feel alive again. so thanks

[CommieHunter]

Thank you so much for the comments about positioning when cornering. I've heard people say to stay in line, and also heard people say to get outside and weight on the outside peg. Nice to hear the reasoning behind using one or the other.

What advice do you have for taller riders? I’m 6’3” and I feel like I arch forward way too much in order to get my elbows to 90 degrees in attack position.

[Squishyprawn]

I watched this because I ran into my friend riding and I broke his clutch it’s fixed now but I angle my wrist now like you said because both my wrist elbows and arm hurt after that wreck

[gregfiddy]

I’m calling you Dr. Livesay cuz you’re like a surgeon when you explain things and operate a bike!! Great teaching videos!!
Thanks Dr!! 😉

[yamaman]

Great video on body positioning. It had so many great tips that I watched it twice. Please continue to do more videos like this one.

[dnickens]

Last time I was on the track I squeeze the bike with my knees while standing and riding ...I could feel that bike dancing... finally got used to it now I understand..thanks

[nikitatrubitsin]

Thank you again and again, really best content. Respect for Tyler and MX Factory team.

As a father of a young rider still learning myself. It seems to me there are actually 3 riding positions.
1. sitting
2. standing
3. hovering

I don't think 3 is talked about enough. And I think it's where most riders struggle. It looks like they are sitting but they actually have their butt off the seat slightly. In this case you have a lot more than a slight knee bend but you are technically standing up. This is the position where I see a lot guys get rounded backs or their knees start getting ahead of their ankles. Or they get their arms extended and their heads too far back leading them to be pulled.

I've always found my position a little off, rhis video helped to get it where it needs to be.

[Lyrics_Everywhere]

Hey guys, I really like your vídeos, they are really easy to understand, greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

[kimnenninger]

Great video. I have watched this video a few times because I have found that I really needed to fix my riding position.

[mobiledetailyou]

Been riding my whole life. Learning more in each of your videos than all of that riding... Really appreciate all you guys are doing. Merry Christmas

[queuetest]
