Dude, love the humility. I'm working on all of this now as a beginner so I don't form bad habits. Appreciate the content!

Being so honest about your riding flaws while you are much better than most of us is a great reminder of how important it is to keep it real and have some modesty if we want to improve. The explanation was great. Subscribed.

Hey thx for reminding us to always go back to the basics .. its been 18 yrs since my laps with a riding coach or more... then the time I had was brief lol.. but I was criticking my personal habits and u cleaned them back up.. not racing anymore but raising my son on the saddle of a Honda just like we all were .. helps put hair on the ol chest rite.

Great video, just took a lesson and worked on the attack position, it helped tremendously. It would be helpful to keep the still pictures you use up a little longer so we can really study them before moving on. Thanks for the great vid!

Good points. Squeeze tank until fuel flows out of the vent line.......that is correct amount of force required to hold onto bike. Result, no more arm pump.

Bro I know this vid is a few years old now but I’d LOVE to see more technique vids. I get the attack position in theory and can happily ride in a straight line in the attack position but once you add corners, hills - up and down, breaking/acceleration bumps etc it all goes to crap! I swear I feel like I’m in the attack position and then I film myself and realise when I watch it back I’m not even CLOSE! ARGH its so frustrating and difficult for me to get this …trying to break years of bad habits is very challenging!

To help with adding more control with the knees, there is nifty bit of hardware called Steg Pegz out of Australia. Helps put take the stress off the hands and harms.

This was great. Knees behind your toes is a matter of saving your knees. Physically if you keep going past your toes your going to need a knee replacement eventually.

Hey! Thank you for your video! Could you explain more about foot position? From one side I've been told to cover the break but I have to put pegs under the middle of my foot just before the heel so the joint doesn't work at all. From other side if I want to use foot joint then I should put the finger pads to the pegs then I can't touch the break. (I have standard complection and height of 180 cm.) Any advices?

Great video. I struggle with this. My seat, boots, graphics, pants barely have marks on them. I think I'm squeezing the bike with my legs and then I see all the evidence that I'm not. I bought a wider wing seat to see if that is something that will assist me. Also, to your point about pointing your toes in a little will bring your knees closer in, I find I am a person that walks very duck footed and I suspect I ride toes out a lot which doesn't help my cause. I recall riding a bike that the pegs were slightly angled upward (don't recall the peg brand) and I remember that my knees were much closer to the bike.

First race lap is good attack position then i just fade out. Is it something you practice at 80% and keep form or a fitness thing on your hips. Thanks
@tylermonks
@tylermonks 4 жыл бұрын
I'm in the same boat and I think there's multiple ways to go about it. Riding at 80% to really set that technique in is a great way to do it. What I'm also doing is when I'm practicing, no matter how tired I am, I am just trying to always say to myself to ride correctly. Even if it's just 2 times on the whole track, eventually it will be the entire time. Hopefully that makes sense haha

First off I'm not a pro rider. Take my advice with a grain of salt. Like Tyler said 80% laps with proper technique will help create correct muscle memory. If you struggle to get seat time like I do, other exercises can be used to strengthen those muscles. Squats, lunges, deadlift, good mornings, sit ups, shoulder press, pull ups, and shoulder flys. All of these work the same muscles you use to ride. Big muscle groups and shoulders. Good luck!

I grew up in Michigan where a bike will hook up and get traction anywhere. Now that I'm in AZ I'm learning to ride on desert hard pack. I'm finding that weighting the pegs is important here. Can you cover that a bit? Should I be pushing straight down on the outside peg? Or trying to push down and into the bike at the same time? Also should I be taking weight off the inside peg so I can push harder into the outside peg? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The technique of knees behind the pegs is just what I've been wondering about. What is the benefit of that and what angle/position does that put your back in?

Hi Tyler, I am 1.91m tall and heavy...like 120kg. So I have the suspension sorted, but every time I try and stand it feels like the bike is getting away from me when I brake or accelerate. I battel to grab or squeeze the bike with my knees as my knees is way above the seat. I mostly ride technical and should be standing. Do you have any advice? Stegpegs?.....?

I feel like maintaining a proper attack position is a little bit harder for us tall guys. Specifically from the hips up.. I’m 6’3 and have long arms so a lot of the time it feels awkward to hinge enough at the hips to where my chest and head are in the proper position so I always end up standing up too high and I don’t always notice it unless I watch some footage of myself..

Everything is fine, how you stand on the balls on your feet, the hips etc. But what could be interesting to see is how you move your feet when shifting gear and breaking.
