[@Recedinghairline180]

Its refreshing to see a Pro being so humble towards newer riders, you are a stand up guy AJ. The Moto scene can be pretty toxic up here. You are an inspiration to all of us getting into the sport!

[@AjCatanzaro]

Thank you! We were all a beginner or amateur at one point!!!

[@ccorbin18]

Kav, take one of his classes. Even better dude in person.

[@jacobfrancisco7580]

Jason Anderson is also amazing he’s cool not shy or awkward talked to him for a straight hour he’s really chill and doesn’t think he’s famous

[@chriscurbstompscm]

Clearing a big jump for the first time is the best feeling! I think every rider can relate to this. Nailing a corner feels pretty great too.

[@AjCatanzaro]

That feeling is what keeps us all coming back!

[@CodySnell_87]

another great feeling is when your 6 feet too high and 20 feet too long on the lander lol

[@CodySnell_87]

being an idiot first lap sending it will do it haha they redid the face and wow did it shoot you way highrr and farher lol ripped my hands right off the bars when i landed tore a tendon in my wrist it was a 70 foot tabletop downhill lander i did about 90 feet and flat landed the whole hill lol

[@stevestiffler9120]

Yep. I guarantee y guy was on cloud nine for at least the next three days after hitting that booter.

[@laurynasram]

Such a friendly landing to case. Our local tracks have these steep landings that will kill you if you case them 🤦‍♂️

[@jakedragsknee]

That was my biggest thing when I rode a lot, I could never get over the idea of coming up short, and here in SoCal the jumps are pretty huge. And when I did jump I was always stiff and uncomfortable

[@dansmith3292]

I agree LOL those landings that casing and bouncing is a bad idea LOL remind me of the intimidator that jolly Rogers in case that thing you're going for a longgggg ride

[@evangriffith8836]

No I flat spotted both of my wheels on this jump.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Yeah they definitely exist. If that's the case, you're gonna wanna make sure you overjump it lol. Usually if you plan on overjumping one like that, you'll probably get it perfect but even if you DO overjump it, it's all good, depending on what's immediately after it though, obviously.

[@freedomridermorty4459]

@@dansmith3292 I never pulled the Trigger on the Intimidator. Jimmy Decotis on a YZ 80 was amazing to watch clear that.

Good ideas!! 👍🏼

[@ryanevans4783]

That a boy bud 👍 You said you would hit it and you followed through and hit it. That’s such a good feeling. But you guys should always be thanking your friend who seems like a pro to me because he is so nice. Having him there to show you how to do things and giving you confidence is seriously priceless. That’s a really good friend right there 👍👍

[@michaelmcdonald4699]

I love hitting that down hill double on my 450 after the burm that follows the 100ft tabletop!! The corner at the bottom holds so good you don't even need to let off the throttle to nail that corner at the bottom of the downhill double. Or atleast the last time I rode at tomahawk that was the layout of that section after the big tabletop.

[@AjCatanzaro]

Disclaimer for all my local Tomahawk guys, build your way up to hitting this jump!!! Do NOT just send it because this video gives you false confidence 😬 If you want to learn how to jump like the pros, you can train with me online at club.themotoacademy.com Use code “moto” to get your first month for only $5! 😎 Thanks for watching!

[@ralphelliott9762]

Bro, I'm literally less than an hour from tomahawk, but the problem is I have a 94 Suzuki DR350. But it is the dirt only model, it has a Mikuni TM33 pumper carburetor. 👍

[@marcmaza2821]

Hey! What’s the easy way when you use the throttle when you jump? Been having a tuft time! Been doing mountain biking all my life! Since pandemic my friend been teaching me how to slowly ride the dirt bike! Just the jump park is different for me!

[@stephendavis7707]

I think everyone has to his fear jumps ,drop off's etc great job i liked the easy going nature of the way the whole thing unfolded no pressure thats a big jump so great job ..

[@Cdubmcscrub]

Love the videos AJ. I've learned so much as a Vet rider. Looking forward to 21!

[@unclekow9172]

Loving the videos man keep it up. Wish I had these videos to look back on when I was still riding.😅 Really wanting another bike!

Great video. I’ve pussed that jump a bunch if times and it sucks to 3/4 it. Hope to see y’all out there sometime. Thanks for the tips. Truly awesome.

[@markleendertsen3043]

Awesome to see you sharing your talent and knowledge with. What a great way to spread the sport. You truly seem like an awesome guy and great teacher. Wish I had guys like you around when I was trying to learn how to ride. Keep up the great work you have a new fan.

[@joemacintyre3839]

Love the vids, content, pro tips and channel @aj !👍! Keep up the good work man!

[@justinnagle4937]

Great content on these videos man! Keep them coming. Kids are following and definitely improving every week just from practice (obviously) and taking your advice on technique to heart.

[@dougchilton6611]

Love the vids. If you get anywhere close to Iowa this year for a class/school/training etc. I will for sure be there.

[@woodysrockspyro6436]

Rewatching all these lately. Loving them.

[@AjCatanzaro]

😁😁

[@dansmith3292]

Yes yes yes I love this AJ there's nothing that feels better as a Motocross rider than jumping over a hundred feet for the first time LOL hence why I commented that long-ass comment on the last video where is your facility by the way is it in Connecticut I really love the calm confidence filled method you have of teaching really enjoying your videos lately but almost reminds me of Danny Stewart's table at 207 except Danny decided to throw a supercross style lip on that damn thing. Can't wait for the day I get to ride with you again. most people remember me from being basically partnered up for years with Mike Shea and Dustin Johnson we went everywhere together us three. Keep up the great videos AJ so glad you made a KZbin channel

[@tcmx712]

For such a simple clip it creates such a feel good vibe watching him clear it, I even punched the air myself when he made it haha

[@colton9560]

[@atvraceryfz77]

My favorite parts of any MX video is watching the first time they hit jumps. Always the scariest and makes it more intense to watch in the videos.

[@stevesinewave2562]

Thanks for sharing. A great video! The face of a jump can be intimidating. Looking at the profile of a jump up close helped me gain enough intrepidness to hit jumps, but not nearly 100 ft. Video really does give a false sense of confidence so appreciate that commentary up front.

[@maxlancaster665]

This was a very entertaining video. Please make more like this!

[@santaclaracycle]

That feeling of getting that jump for the first time is incredible 👊! Overcoming fears and committing... good stuff 👍!

[@waltsmith8416]

Man....my palms get sweaty just watching this. I am not sure I will ever work up to clearing that thing but it is cool to see someone struggle through it and come out on top

[@Jorgem1010]

The best feeling ever. Clearing the jump that gave you fear. When you over come it you’re like this is what kept me in fear?? Fear is a liar!!! Have a great day people 👊

[@kings17court]

Nice, relaxed, just hanging out video. I had to go back to your wedding video, to check if that's the same guy who we are talking about here. Sure enough .... six five films. He worked a masterpiece for your wedding video. That was some good work, indeed.

[@ta7zy68]

Good job to him!!! Progression always feels good!

[@johntomasik1555]

8:38 I often wondered why some tracks allow a slight cup to build right at the landing, especially on bigger jumps like this? That, or really big air jumps with steep landings where you have to be very accurate to hit it right. I used to ride Thunder Valley, and many of their jumps were pretty well sculpted so that if it was a longer jump (like the uphill jump at the far north end of the track) and the jump out of the pit had landings that were long and forgiving. It seemed a lot safer and allowed those of us intermediate riders to feel comfortable jumping them every lap. If all of the riders were AJ (including myself), mine would be a stupid question. But, most of us aren't, and never were, pros.

[@jedielder7970]

Nice videos. The new KX450's really have a great power, with a pretty smooth powerband. I like how you talked him through that jump. 👍

Dude I hit this for the first time with Tyler egging me on. Took me like 20 attempts all of which ended in me coming up like 5 feet short. Feels good when you get it but man that last 5 feet takes all of the 250

[@jasonlekuch5188]

Hey Aj, I am currently recovering from ACL surgery. I found your videos and have been hooked ever since. I feel I'm learning alot and can't wait to put it to work once im cleared to ride. Keep up the solid work you're fun to watch and look forward to every video.

[@AjCatanzaro]

Thank you! Just make sure you wait 6 months before you ride again, and build up some serious strength in your bad leg! I had acl surgery in 2016 and I’m very glad that I didn’t take any short cuts in getting it strong again before I rode

[@happyraccoon4791]

In 1999 Jack Azavedo of AMP racing cut the launch ramp out of the Elevator Shaft at Hollister Ca. so that 100 feet of air was possible. My son raced 80's then and he and 4 other 80's were getting 100ft. He was 12 almost 13. "I thought it would feel different... " He wasn't overly impressed. I have a nice photo of him, at least 10 feet above a flagger and still climbing, maybe 50 ft into his flight
