These four sets need to be implemented in your weekly riding routine. Focus on limiting mistakes and being as smooth as possible. Do not worry about going fast for these drills, as the speed will naturally come as you become more fluid and mistake-free on the bike.

I’m 61 years old and getting back into Moto X at my local club after 33 years. I did a bit of enduro about 12 years ago and took a bit to get my mo - jo back, what I noticed the fundamentals were there plus many many bad habits.. I love these videos, I watch one of these videos than go out and practice practice practice until I get it right. The most important thing I’ve always believed is to go fast we 1st need to learn to go slow, in other word technique is everything and these video are awesome for teaching good technique and getting rid of lazy and poor riding habits..

Step 5: Buy land and build your own turn track!

[@motosloth8988]

1st Set - Stand up only 0:05 2nd Set - Sit for turn/Keep feet on pegs 0:40 3rd Set - One hand only 1:15 4th Set - Normal (focus on keeping foot high & tight) 1:55

Thanks

Next one handed standing .

[@hndaciv11]

Thanks for these tips A.J. I am 43 and riding moto x for the 1st time. Your tips have helped me get better. Subscribed

[@logandoubleyou2549]

Iv been watching many of your videos trying to understand what you mean with not putting leg out in corners but I think I understand now, only leg out when needed for teach better habits and stay smoother. Great videos aj

[@tj_altekruse317]

Love coming back to this video. Such a great training segment.

[@JanASS1991]

Perfect cornering! I hope I can get half of this smoothness on my 250 2 stroke.

[@Freaki91]

If its a sx green spring will help for smooth throttle delivery. You can allso tame thr bike by turning the powervalve inside. I know its 1 year late but if you stil struggle it might help.

[@Mianux]

awesome videos; best and most comprehensive I have seen yet.

[@vargaro9806]

Yeah... I don't see myself getting past the first turn with one hand 😅

[@AjCatanzaro]

keep it on 2 wheels I think you would be surprised with how easy it actually is!

[@cleanmachineautodetailing]

Take his class if you get the chance. Definitely not easy but these drills work

[@819jt]

This is top three if not my favorite tutorial video you've made 👍🏻

[@revenge5049]

Yeah me neither

[@user-us6fu2sr7o]

I'm a noob. But I'll try it tomorrow and let's see how it goes🤕

[@alexreyes3438]

Aj you make it look easy specially with one hand. Track riding is actually harder than it looks. A lot of physical work, but fun too.

[@motocraneguy17]

Listen to the throttle control and how much roll he carries thru the corner.

[@willeypoboy6052]

Thanks for the cornering drill. Nice turn track!

[@danblekeberg2470]

Thank you for sharing your training secrets !

[@wenethmoon6587]

Ahh that is a mint little track for training wish my backyard was that big 😭

[@robmanzanares]

Brilliant!!!

[@lmtada]

#5 wheeling around track one wheel (Doug Domokos).

[@krulleman]

Smooth and fast nice !

[@dionpiazza4672]

AJ Thank you very much for giving us your time to pass on these amazing tips. Just from watch you videos and practicing these drills gave me so much more confidence when turning on loose and wet terrain! You rock! Any chance you might make your way to California? Here in the Sacramento area we have Prairie City OHV AKA Hangtown. If you held classes here it would be big.

[@AjCatanzaro]

Thank you!! I would definitely like to get Northern California in 2021 for a class

[@VlogEpicness]

Also new tires help 😁

[@robw3761]

Thanks for the video I have the same bike I bought a 2018 I just wish it would have came with electric start but I wasn't going to pay the money KTM wants for their bikes I got such a good deal on my KX but I couldn't pass it up so I'll deal with the kick-start I know next year they'll probably put an electric start on it

[@robw3761]

I just realized you have a 4:50 it looks like which comes with electric start mine's a 250f

[@DADSGETNDOWN]

I have seen and been told, even in one of your videos, you should be using throttle from the beginning of the turn, because all your braking should have been done, but it was like you coasted the entire turn until just before the straight then opened up near or even full throttle in every turn.

[@briansemder565]

Where is your next or future training classes at ?

[@zaratehenry]

I want to see Left hand only, lol

[@carisi2k11]

A bit difficult since the throttle is on the right hand side.

[@jason401.]

@@carisi2k11 thats why he said it

[@borntwice4724]

Ok great got it, thanks.

[@lmtada]

Impressive

[@thomasjeges1592]

When do you change gears?

[@Todd-rk2lb]

did you put weight on outside pegs?

[@krysoconnor3648]

hey! that looks familar

[@thomasjeges1592]

Are you turning the handlebars or just leaning?

[@AjCatanzaro]

Just leaning! 👍🏼

[@1000draggsxr]

What is the purpose of 1 hand training I see plenty doing it

[@elcincero321]

Compel you to squeeze your outside leg against the bike. An awesome exercise

[@AjCatanzaro]

David Annas it forces you to grip the bike with your legs and rely less on your arms. If you’re trying to hold on at all with your arms, you won’t be able to do the one handed drill

[@mototrailadventure2725]

@@AjCatanzaro I wonder if there is more ways to get used to control the bike with your legs. Maybe a gim work out routine, I don't know. I have the bad habit to control the bike with the arms... and no matter how hard I try, I can't change this bad habit 😥

[@archetypex65]

It seems when you were standing up that your weight was a little towards the rear which personally I wouldn't feel comfortable with I'd rather load the front wheel.

[@AjCatanzaro]

Flying Lap Productions look at where my head is when I’m standing. It’s always level with or in front of my handlebars. My weight is very evenly distributed and it’s the safest spot you can be on bike. A lot of amateur and beginner riders feel “more comfortable” with their knees being in a forward position but that puts WAY too much weight on front end

[@DeezGarage]

Those 1 handers like cake tho.

[@TheGenteneire]

Can you help me today i ride for the first time en when i brake with the rare break the motor fall directly dead is that normal ?

[@TheMaster5150]

That can be normal if you break to hard without pulling in the clutch. That is one reason why the motor stalls.

[@Freaki91]

It can help a little practice on a 2 stroke because explosion in every turn. Makes the bike harder to stall. 4 strokes require 2 turns to make an explosion so are allot easier to stall however they have a way more smooth power delivery.

[@alienxyt]

What does the one handed drill teach you?

[@marcelinorabago5562]

Good question. I would say, to be aware of controlling the bike with your legs instead of with your arms. But I’m not sure…

[@marcelinorabago5562]

Yes, I'm right as some months ago, Acantazaro replied this "David Annas it forces you to grip the bike with your legs and rely less on your arms. If you’re trying to hold on at all with your arms, you won’t be able to do the one handed drill"

[@alienxyt]

Never thought of that. Thanks

[@bryanhepding3851]

Where is that facility ?

[@AjCatanzaro]

Club mx. South Carolina

[@XxHackerxX014]

Most people dont have a turning practice track

[@nestserau]

Find an unattended build site and make it yourself.

[@patp2462]

This Is nothing that we are thought to ride I don't see rc standing?

[@user-sp8eb6iz7f]

The fifth set: Come get me at the hospital for riding with one arm.

[@BN1960]

Why do they work? Need some explanation boys

[@colebaranek4604]

You should ride left hand only😂. That's the only way I'd beat you.

[@nestserau]

Are you sure? If he sets his stationary rpm a little bit higher he will beat you with left only.

[@premix3663]

Is it just me or do the newer 450s just sound terrible compared to the deeper sound older 450s had, is it just the stock pipe? Sounds like a fart

[@AjCatanzaro]

Bob Dole I’m not sure, all I know is this 2019 blows away any 450 I’ve ever ridden in my life! It’s amazing

[@michaellorimer4752]

No clutch , no rear brake

[@jfd889]

one hand training on a 2stroke = turn stall and lay over....

[@Freaki91]

Get a sx. Swap to Green spring. Turn the povervalve all the way in.

[@mikeychavez4262]

one hand seems sketchy lol

[@fknmax7878]

i think anyone can do this especially with perfect sand non acceleration bumped ruts like this lmaoo
