Private Lesson - Beginner learns ruts

[@steverichardson9133]

Your patience in teaching an obvious beginner was very impressive.. It was nice to see a lesson for a the every day guy that is just getting into riding a track. I would be in that category. Great stuff.

[@Fire_at_Wil]

I'm going to let the elephant in the room out, yall... I was squidding it up out there 😂🦑 (obvs) But personally, my takeaway and what I'd hope others would see as well is that AJ is such a talented coach that he took a total new guy goon rider, put me on the most difficult race platform that exists (a supercross bike) and threw me into a totally foreign environment and still created a level of comfort in all that chaos that I would not have been able to achieve on my own, in just a few lessons. It's a testament to what you're missing out on if you aren't an Academy subscriber 👍 Thanks again @ajcatanzaro!

[@straighttimestirrups]

100%!

[@97theditty]

Eager to see your progression brother. Catch you back in the app. 👍🏼

[@nxtlvlranch4802]

I’m happy you won this mate a few good lesson can make riding allot more enjoyable

[@AjCatanzaro]

Thank you, Wil!! I’m honored to have people like yourself in the Moto Academy family 👍🏼

[@therealbanksea]

well done out the re will..... one thing ive notice is you ride on your toes alot causing your knees to be behind your hips get to the middle of your foot on the pegs and you'll feel alot more planted

[@gearhigher2027]

AJ, I'm a 50+ C Rider who, after many years of incorrect technics, finally did a one-on-one with a great coach in the Northeast. The technic of clutch modulation combined with throttle was a deal breaker for me in absorbing how to best control the bike safely...YOU were definitely onto something when you attempted to explain that during the private lesson.

[@nxtlvlranch4802]

Bloody awesome that someone that truly needed the private lesson won hope you had fun mate 👌

[@mrcrustie253]

What a great personality Will has!

[@danielyoungblood101]

Great video!! Good job fireatwill! This is awesome I'm sure most of us watch you because we're not good and want to get better! With that you're an amazing coach A.J.! That tampa class with Jett/Hunter, you changed my inside ruts forever!! Moto Academy is constantly teaching me how to be a better rider!!

[@AjCatanzaro]

Thanks Daniel! 👍🏼😁

[@bluestanley123]

Mega video. A jumping vid with a beginner would be awesome

[@Konk005]

I deliver furniture and I use to forget to breathe sometimes. The reason is, I feel if my diaphragm isn't locked up my tensed muscles become unsteady causing shaking and loss of balance. But like aj said, a long exhale at the right moment helps me be able to breathe while still keeping steady.

[@ljm8673]

Nice! Old school style AJ video.

[@Pdxgunfighter]

Best moto teacher out there.

[@gouchmcdougal7831]

Great job big guy! You handled it well. Talk about nerve racking! And on camera! You handled it well Fire at Will! Great coaching AJ. Luke 9:62

[@jameshinton429]

That’s a gnarly verse man, God bless.

[@Surfing765]

Been riding a DR650 as a commuter bike around Sydney for 5 years, but I've never ridden a dirt bike. I'm so jealous of this lesson! Would be my dream day!

[@Robbe1912]

great video. while starting out with motocross, jumping was way less scary for me than cornering. every time I had the chance to ride, the track was a complete mudfest though, so maybe thats why I developed a fear of turns. The front wheel would just slide away to the outside non stop and some of the ruts were probably a foot deep.

[@dirtbike_slayer8073]

Ive never gotten to improve on my bike cause everytime i go to ride the track is so damn muddy im crossrutting everything lmao. So damn difficult too learning on a bigger bike

[@Robbe1912]

@@dirtbike_slayer8073 My bike was way too tall for me too. I was not able to reach the ground with both feet at the same time, only while shifting a bit to the side with one foot. Just recently dropped it off at a workshop and they will adjust my suspension, handlebars and cut out some of the foam of the seat. I am hoping riding will get easier after that! Good luck to you, I hope we get some good weather soon.

[@andrewleon2033]

OMG! Great video! I need you at Mesquite NV. I SUCK AT RUTS.

[@604cuinkillah]

Great teaching AJ. So patient and creative. Per person scenario training😎

[@AjCatanzaro]

Thank you 😁

[@gerardmongro2475]

Man AJ your mythology is outstanding you’re paying so much attention to the mistakes that thare easily corrected

[@BOOGATURD81]

I love to see the patience AJ. Makes it breaks the experience

[@gerardmongro2475]

Been using a lot of stuff that you’re illustrating it works that’s a fact

[@97theditty]

My man Fire-at-Wil!

[@woodysrockspyro6436]

Nice vid. Sure hope you got some real engines for that bike ready to go.. no excuses no complacency this year AJ! Oh... don't forget to Do your cardio. 😁👽

[@wherewithalmoto]

Looks like a great day to be working that corner. Last time I was there it was soup and I just cut the track to avoid that corner 😂. Great tips though! Can't wait to go practice!

[@AjCatanzaro]

The corner was the best I’ve ever seen it!

[@diyjeff1838]

Great video.

[@TheDahsTube]

AJ been using that KEEPS. Hell yeah brother looking good!

[@yodavizion]

That’s awesome that you give back 😎🚀

[@gerardmongro2475]

Also would be an honor an privilege to attend such a class I used to watch you at rocky hill at Tony’s track train guys than you were awesome than an still are now

[@armandoarronche495]

Dude, thats Opie from Sons of Anarchy!!! Keep going bro!!!

[@Fire_at_Wil]

😂 I'll take it! 👍

[@armandoarronche495]

@@Fire_at_Wil hahaha being Opie is a great responsability! Nice practice bro, you already improved a lot!

[@cuddleman]

so you suggest no coasting.... better more speed on entrance and front brake to control rut entry than when stop front brake give gas and put weight on the front

[@c2protect]

Exactly

[@DMC-179]

Got a question about the steering. You say to steer by turning your knees/legs others say steer by let fall the heel of the inner foot. could you please help me? :)

[@jcaashby3]

I have always been interested in people who are new to riding. There is just a certain look you see with new riders. Some look awkward as hell. But I have seen some new riders look comfortable and pick it up quick. Some no matter how many hours will always be that way.

[@carlosbarragan6729]

Big Ups to learning as an adult 💪🤛🤘

[@AjCatanzaro]

Never stop learning!

[@dnickens20115]

This is great..👍😁🔥

[@hyposez1129]

Is there a video where Aj explains how to corner while standing? Like better than in this video.

[@nickjourdan9297]

Nice lesson! Also, your hairline looks like it’s coming in nicely now AJ!

[@donnyvedder3260]

Staying tuned lol

[@19Jharris]

Dude I wanted to see jumps to

[@MoneyMikeOfficial]

Dont worry Albert even know your gettin slow. You are a great coach! 😅🤣

[@thomaskimparker809]

First thing is u mite need to be comfortable on the bike and u can tell that Honda didnt fit him not did he have time to get the feel of it . Great coaching . Excellent

[@Stuckin330]

I think alot of riders that only kno how to ride and not kno how to work on there bikes need to learn how to work on a bike an kno how evrything work becouse then they kno there bike better and kno how to use evrything . Like for woods racing your always going threw gears up and down and that wears you down so say there on 450 and kno how to work on it and know we’re that power range is they can run diff gears to get that power were they didn have it before an can hold a gear longer instead of down or up shifting an use clutch to that advantage .

[@johnnyhopkins7297]

Aj said come faster but I was way ahead of him on that one

[@Gabriel-kj4ie]

Day one of asking AJ to buy me a crf250👍

[@totkop2156]

Imagine he does but its a crf250f

[@Fire_at_Wil]

Bold strategy. Respect.

[@theboiz6017]

Good luck

[@chrymix]

no disrespect to this guy but before he even started the bike I can tell he's a novice because his goggle strap is way too low down. you should give him tips on looking fast before you teach him to go fast😂

[@dank7497]

🤣 noticed the same thing hahaha

[@Fire_at_Wil]

Goonstrap crew ✊😂🦑 My mind was in a 1000 places lol they fixed me right after this

[@AjCatanzaro]

Dang it, we let him slip on the goggle strap for a couple laps! He caught it quickly though 😂😂

[@laJIT10]

his heals are way too dropped

[@zackbremer1]

this dude clearly out weighs you by probably over 100lbs...at that point sag and suspension set up are going to be way off and make cornering much harder.

[@gouchmcdougal7831]

Ha!! Water is for wimps!! Luke 9:62

[@motoxjim929]

Woohoo fire@will

[@riterski6951]
