4 Principles of Riding Position

Motocross riding technique from Ryno. This is the best way to handle a motorcycle.

[@abpob6052]

Absolutely. I'm 55 yrs old and outlast riders 20 yrs younger because I have tested and adjusted every part of my bike, gear, and body to be efficient and use as little energy as possible. There are always places on a track where most riders dread because it is an energy killer. If you can save energy everywhere else you can use bursts to blitz past other riders on the toughest parts of the track.

[@JoelSimbrow]

I want to ride with you!

[@libertyfighter1]

im 62 and out last less and less 20 year old who really know how to ride LOL who the heck you kidding

[@prospectorsoils1240]

@@libertyfighter1 long time desert rider here. We like to call them “death marches”. I’m not riding some pussy 4-stroke either. CR500 is just right for me. Longer the ride the faster I get. Just like Ryno said you dance with the bike you don’t force it. There is a lot to be said about that. Lots of MX/SX guys miss out on that. When you are in the saddle for 100 miles + a day there is no forcing left. Learned from the best…..me.

Hello Ryan , you explained it perfectly. Im 52 and still riding, and loving it with my kids also . I ride the way you explained and it makes me happy to know that someone like you is on the same page. Keep it up Ryan . Good to see you on a Honda.

[@rsl6767]

[@saraflores9601]

You are a legend. Thank you for your time Ryan.

[@tonyd7164]

After watching several of your videos, I tried your recommendations on riding posture and body position on the bike. I have to say after 3 hours of fast single track up in the sierras, I did not once get arm pump like I usually do (my 450 kicks my old ass) On my toes and hips out, head forward really helped combat fatigue since I wasn't constantly pulling on the bars. Thank you for the tip!

[@Sanguine_Addiction]

Ryan Hughes was definitely one of my dirt bike heroes in the 90s. He definitely knows his stuff.

[@donaldpilon6735]

Phenomenal! Love your heart, teaching style, and information! Thank you so much.

[@savagehill7523]

It’s crazy that while he is explaining it, it sounds like it should be common sense but riders don’t think about everything he’s saying, he taught me a few disciplines today....great video

[@shawnschroeder2]

Am I the only one that thinks Ryan Hughes should run for president?....hands down one of the smartest and most fit riders on the planet. If Ryan Hughes told me to jump I would say how high? or how low? because I know I would get an in depth consultation about the way to do it correctly and efficiently. You got my vote Rhino

[@ridered7262]

I still remember Ryno pushing his bike across the finish line. Would be awesome to see guys with that kind of GRIT nowadays.

[@bryandavis9731]

Yo brother, Ryan, I’ve probably commented on this before, but I’m watching it again a year or so later and picking up more wisdom . I will probably watch this and a lot of your other videos regularly from time to time just to refresh and perfect well as close as I can get to it anyway my non-professional Extreme riding activities. Thank you, my friend.

[@RyanHughesMX]

Thank you for your continued support. I just shot a masterclass on technique. Its an online course and easy to access on your phone, you should look into it.

[@jonathandeemer257]

Love the intensity and straight forward why Ryno explains things! Great stuff!

[@bjs001001]

Thank you for sharing this with the world. As a martial artist I will agree with you 100% that everything starts at the feet. Our entire body balance comes from the interaction between the various muscles of the feet and toes. Great stuff here, again, thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@Ghostdog4]

I'm so happy this came up in my feed. Ryan is one of my favorite riders of all time. If he says it I'm listening. Without a doubt the best riding advice you can get. Looks like Ryno also sells all sorts of nutritional supplements too. If he says it Do It!

[@rsl6767]

All 100%.. I struggled to listen to you when you started repeating yourself years ago.. and I'm glad you did. Corrected some bad habits in the 80's. 30 plus years later and I'm faster because of gurus like you👍. Appreciate it man

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Good point about repetition. From almost flunking HS to becoming the sharpest guy in college for engineering, (after 6 years of 8 years of part study while working full time),---------------------I owe it to "repetitive study". So I made up that phrase recently. :) It really is sad, because I have experience with what the brain does with exercise, (gets stronger too), that we all have this untapped potential right behind our eyes and between our ears.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

It is "thinking" that makes us human.

[@babar69110]

first time I see a REAL lesson !!! without any riding... Thanks !!!!

Watched you race as a kid at carlsbad on a kx 500 you were like 15yrs old. Always knew you would be someone great in our sport. Thanks for all you do, keep us alive.

[@Pompomgrenade]

Mr. Ryan Hughes, you're something else! Thanks for the pointers... Indeed, through years of head scratching: feet lead! It's in skateboarding and surfing then dirt bikes that I found power comes from your ankles where the strength of your feet is stored... Snowboarding proved it to be double true... Riding dirt bikes in my '50s. I have to be efficient to keep going, many of us have noticed your outstanding body English when riding (being one with the machine) and now it's not happenstance That explains it... Rather direct willful input, I can try to rely on. THANKS FOR LEADING BY EXAMPLE

[@tecTitus]

This man is a guru, and doesn't ask for anything in return!

[@pipflynn3]

[@rhmerkin]

This was great! Reminds me of watching tips on squat form by Mark Rippetoe.. a bunch of minor details that when implemented resulted in big gains. Thanks for posting this

[@MaintDocs]

You do a great job explaining how _and why._ I'm gaining a lot from watching you, but also have to rewatch as it's taking my mind is taking time to learn each piece and ingrain it. As an adventure/dualsport rider, your stance videos dramatically improved my control and fatigue threshold. I feel much safer and more clear where my current skill limits are. Thanks for helping the riding community out.

[@buckwheat7424]

cool videos. 40+ yrs ago i was a happy desert racer, from this area, i had the biggest group of off road champions (desert,) with a mixture of very few of the top motorcross champions ever to be, to use as examples. i mean to tell you the history of that covered some time. so i was lucky, some of those greats spoke directly to me about it. some i only got to ride around them some or ride the courses they made all with a mile or two of my house. one feature i noticed on some of those champs were bars position. and most mx'rs run the bars even over the alignment of the forks and that bring their wrist twisted un naturally with an ability to rob endurance and leverage. to find the differences i went from both extremes of bars forward max and bars back max. the forward position quickly will wear on particular muscles in your forearms to the point of cramps and loosing attention on where i'm going. roll em back to over in line with the fork angle and the outside of the wrist' drop to a to a natural posture, not to be confused with a couch posture or relax mode, no, but gives you more leverage over the bars (which might be a controversial subject in the teaching of some,) but you can get back farther on the seat, laying flatter for higher speeds, and as flying in the air it put the pull towards the rear of center as well. so i adapted to lowering them all the way until it was obstructed in the turning circle by the tank and moved it up just over it. it worked for me quite well. it's not the weirdest thing i used to do. running 25lbs of air the front and 20 in the rear tires made for crazy bounces off big rocks but i rarely got flats. and i could pull higher gears up sandy inclines. slightly rough on certain corners too. the best advise is if you want to win, you gotta tell yourself that, over and over preparing for and during the races, only not i want to win, but, "i'm gonna win." and visual it.

[@glennmartyn7785]

Speaking words of wisdom! I most top guys doing the techniques mentioned by Rhino! I can see this applying to mtb as well. I was 1st 1986 125A in FL. Made top 3-5's in the 86 Mini Os 125A riding 4 days wva C1 Burst Fracture. Came back for a win @ 88 Gatorback Winter Am 125A 1-1 on Cagiva. 11th @ Daytona 125 Esx. Last time I raced.

Lsd can teach you a lot about flow and connection between intuition and instinct. I feel like a lot of action sports guys have this foundation of almost a spiritual aspect to riding.

[@ttt69420]

It's intuitive because they have 10's of thousands of track hours. Most of which was done at the same time their brain was developing. Almost every movement they make on a bike is intuitive.
