Sorry AJ but this video is very very disappointing....you didn't start by waving across your face and saying 'Hello'. I love how you do that.

[@rylandandeneau4819]

Haha

[@AjCatanzaro]

My apologies, Troy. I won’t let it happen again 😬

[@troyhodulik5542]

@@AjCatanzaro All good, AJ! I am an old fat guy now that used to go to the Pontiac Silverdome to watch Ward, Johnson, Stanton, Bradshaw and JM Bayle do their thing. I used to do what I called race back in my early 20's but what I really did was let the real riders use me as traction on most weekends. It's great seeing you pass on your knowledge to others doing something you love and enjoy. Keep up the great content and stay True North! Take care.

[@Fire_at_Wil]

Well i WAS a Jett fan 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I cant be out here rooting for some kid thats never seen Weekend at Bernies *or* Weekend at Bernies 2. What would people think?! (I'm kidding obviously but just incase, because the internet, im going to say so here)

[@AjCatanzaro]

Unacceptable, I know 😂

[@nikolasgibson3438]

I'm now realizing I need to work on mobility. I lean forward with my knees because my back is so damn tight and I can't properly hinge. Jett can just pitch over and touch the bars with his chest, that's some insane flexibility.

[@motodude45]

It's interesting how awkward Jett looks while AJ talks through the positions, he's so talented that he doesn't think about this stuff!

[@MRJAYWILSON]

I think it's mainly because jett is gifted, he can just hop on the bike and ride it however, he knows all this stuff but he does it without knowing, like changing gears or whatever, he just doesn't think about it

[@DirtbikeDad]

Love your vids and crew. I would love to take a class from your point of view n compare it to the Mx factory. Tyler’s training!! I will admit I watched all of his vids for basics 2-3 years ago. My riding could be more enjoyable with proper trading good habits vs bad habits

[@cooganbeggs4942]

Well I'm gonna say it. I reckon Jett learnt something from this session with AJ. Watching him at Salt Lake 1 he just looked so much more relaxed and confident. I reckon those 1 handed drills and the attack position deets have helped him a bunch. The kids gonna be unstoppable!

[@jonesesente7646]

[@Coldasllfe]

Love you AJ, your logical approach got me back into the sport enjoying it now as an adult more than I ever did even as a teenager/kid. The biggest thing I’ve noticed that makes it hard for people to feel like their attack position is working for them is that most people ride in too low of a gear while trying to develop these good habits and consequently end up having a hard time initiating their core and upper body into their acceleration.

[@chrisbryant7971]

[@coltonroberson8938]

You should mention if you overshoot something or case something it’s better to Move to the arches of your feet. So you don’t break your ankles.

[@Natedoc808]

The biomechanics term for the leg component he is describing is called hip hinge. This is typically driver by hamstring and hip flexor shortness from too much sitting (called lower crossed syndrome). This also generates lots of back compensation (tucked butt) and responsible for most non traumatic back pain in developed world. I fix 75% of my patients pain/dysfunction who have lower crossed syndrome by restoring their flexibility and then once they have the needed flexibility, the strengthening finishes off the rest of their issue. This mechanism is what is used for the deadlift.

[@tcoll1233]

AJ and Jett giving back !! Champions both. And it has nothing to do with race wins, or points tally.

[@Pompomgrenade]

[@elemento1991]

These videos are such a great help. I’ve been off the bike for quite a few years and never had any training. I’m planning on running some XC races once mid summer rolls around and these are letting me keep my old good habits and break my old bad ones. Thanks for doing these.

[@rider65]

I think the semantics are misleading. A rider is not attacking every single second one in that position I disagree with calling it The attack position. I think it also turns a lot of casual and recreational Riders away. This implies that this is only for racing. It's correct body position and technique. Hinging the hips so the center of mass of the body is Central to the center of mass of the bike thereby manipulating CoG. Too much with the racing metaphors and analogy. I think you're a little too confident as well try to be more ingratiating

I was trained on a spring bike at the Motorcross schools and use one in my Motorcross school. It's great get a 125 250 or a 250 450 frame and put it on a spring. Put a rider on it and jerk the bike everywhere.

Awesome vid as always bro. Huge support from here in Oz.

[@alajeunesse254]

This immediately made me think of the analogy Ryno was talking about on the Gypsy podcast. With the exception of the ankles, having the the body flex characteristics similar to that of a tree provides the ideal form; planted and firm down low while allowing more movement as you progress upward 👍

[@kevinlong4084]

Jet crashes to much rides over his head

[@jimgootjes5648]

For younger riders, this may be an easier position to attain. You have to be pretty flexible in the hamstrings so a bit more difficult for older riders to get right. It’s one thing to get yourself in the position on a stand but to bend at the waist while riding and not collapse forward you have to be loose and flexible in the hips and hamstrings. Any exercises for this? Yoga maybe lol.

Jett bro are you for real 😳

[@Fire_at_Wil]

You'd have to specify terms. Like, homogenized bikes on an SX track would give AJ the edge in experience. And racing some rutted outdoors track would favor Jett's MXGP background. Their tracks are super gnarly. I think it'd be a good race but you need to lower the risk factor or raise the incentive to see AJ bring out his real speed. He wont risk anything in a friendly race, and Jett totally will. Straight rhythm would be a great venue for it to raise the incentive. PastranaLand style pitbike race would be a way to lower the risk (kind of lol) But Jett beat him in the 1 armed race. So it's currently 1 - 0, Jett. As far as i know.

@@garyalexander2480 well, I gave various bits of logical reasoning as evidences for why I answered the way I did. You have just given feelings. Which, i can appreciate that everyone has an opinion. But if you dont support that opinion with facts then that opinion sucks as an argument. It's the debate equivalent of "nah uh, you are!" Age and experience over youth 9 outta 10x. (assuming the race has a large enough reward to risk ratio for AJ to get sendy)

Hey AJ been loving what you've been doing lately. Really cool the spot that you've managed to carve out for yourself in this industry. Props! You probably don't remember me since it's been so long but I used to race NESC, most notably in the 85 A class battling with Jimmy and Hacia and those guys and then a bit in 125's. Steve Lyons 238 on a Yamaha with an orange helmet lol. I actually remember you on a 65 and then just moving up to an 85 as I got hurt. But then I had a compound fracture to my arm with permanent radial nerve damage so I was out for years and only ever did a few races after that on a 250F but due to my injury decided not to compete regularly.
