Eli Tomac's motocross technique - Why Eli Tomac Is So Dominant! [ Glen Helen ]

[@avzeolla3960]

He is so efficient with his energy there is nobody better. Remember his father was a world champion cyclist. He taught his son how to train and how to ride fast.

[@drmrzrul12]

Funny part is he wasn't even pushing super hard during this footage.

[@The9999rrrr]

He is so good that no need for pushing. This is not his fastest lap, but still faster than most of riders. Perfect lap to demonstrate the modern motocross technique.

[@paultorrance1759]

Looks like he’s riding an 80cc!

[@Shoorit]

Did you also notice he hold on to the handlebars with his hands and has his feet on the foot pegs? Amazing technique.

[@johnnybirdman]

Comment now that tomac is on Yamaha his technique has not changed but has been dialed in for him to be one of the most consistent riders of 2022

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

Grant will tell u he knows the track for years and he practices hard and he has a good team and knows how he wants his bike set up,fitness.

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Look like he worked harder then the other 👑👑👑👑👑

[@jacobwestcott4536]

thats some rad music there

[@MrTmel123]

"head and shoulders following the direction of the track" Well no shit. lol!

[@jdc9128]

The points you have made here are basic rider techniques , not the reason Eli is dominant

[@emilvedin2004]

JDC91 i agree

[@snowzZzZz]

He does those basic riding techniques better and faster than anyone else in the AMA series currently, and right up there with the top from MXGP as well. He's an elite rider with a lot of talent to work with.

[@dannyhampton711]

especially railing better than anyone out there!!

[@cheetah694]

Basic rider techniques? Come to your local track, those guys ride totally different style. So either their basics are different, or Eli does something unusual.

[@jimmytimber7074]

He is willing to take the chance of getting hurt that's the difference. All the elites were willing to put their lives on the line. Once some kid comes and pushes Eli he will probably retire. Eli is probably in the top 5 of all time very exciting to watch. Reminds me of stewart just on a different level. Wish there was someone else at his level to see some exciting racing again.

[@Sheldinator]

he is faster simply because he has bigger balls than others...

[@matiasmaldonado510]

😂🤣😅

[@TraviMxTV]

good idea for a video but this is last lap on a huge gap, he isn't pushing hard

[@Sha362]

Been interesting to see him face Pastrana had he not gotten injured so badly and before freestyle.

[@bh8671]

Tp was awesome. Nowhere near as fast as tomac though.

[@hamonrye9823]

Is glen helen the gnarliest track or what

[@jaredleavermx94]

Tomac is fast because he's Tomac. No reason.

[@johnnybgood774]

He reminds me of Stewart and R.C. not even RV ,dungey,etc aren't near this tight

[@jaredleavermx94]

hes dominant cause he rides how he knows how to ride.

[@fetpoes259]

And when he goes in a corner when he is half way out of the corner he just full throttles it out

[@mitchmitchell4694]

And then he mangked both shoulders, ouch, year of recovery

[@jaywinters2483]

Empty head music ruined it. Couldn't even hear Grant Langston.

[@jimbeaux89]

It’s better than those cookie cutter trash rap beats that you hear on literally every highlight video

[@donaldseccombe3893]

Fitness Fitness best athlete wins

[@TheRealTieLUR]

Rear steer > front steer

[@dionitoreyes4598]

Tell that to ryan villopoto

[@bh8671]

Different times and different riders. Tomac was probably faster and more aggressive but RV was probably more consistent. Definitely fast but never raw speed like tomac can do.

[@Tide12NC]

Had Eli stayed with Honda, no telling how many wins he’d have now. He was so good on a Honda.

[@nolangray43]

Wasnt the move from Honda to Kawi that hurt him. It was missing 6 months of racing, coming back on an all new bike and team and trying to get right back into winning. Took some time but he has been just as good on Kawi since 2017 as he was on that Honda in 15.

[@nellawell4976]

@@nolangray43 Were talking ET, as a kid he was just as dominate on a Suzuki. He would of been the same if it was Yamaha.

[@Upthebroncos310]

@@nellawell4976 I’m a massive kawi fan but imagine how good he could be on a ktm as well

[@reedgalbraith6508]

Back-to-back to back outdoor champion and supercross champion what are you even talking about? When was the last time a 450 Honda has won anything?

[@shooter7a]

Tide, Eli was unhappy on the Honda...and signed with Kawi. Ironically...that was about the time they got the Honda dialed in. Sometimes thing happen with the bike and team and you regret the decision, but you had no way of predicting the future. Most deals are signed in March-May....so you have a lot of time left in the season when you decide what you will do next year.

[@G31mR]

Keeps his "head all the time above the bars"?? You're kidding, right?

[@A7XfoREVer531]

look at the rider literally directly behind him when that text comes up you can clearly see the difference in head position between other rider and Eli

[@jaidcontura2963]

Eli tomac is fastest in kawasaki

[@dionitoreyes4598]

Ryan villopoto is way more faster

Ohhh so its because he's on a Kawasaki?

[@ATLEXITH]

​@@dionitoreyes4598no

[@marcelo107]

aja si si

[@christopherdudley8720]

Yeah his feet hardly leaves the pegs, interesting.

[@shooter7a]

Doing cornering drills with inside oot on the pegs forces you to develop a better feel for the tires and bike. It teaches you how to correct the bike without dabbing. Much faster, but kind of scary.

[@ProjectInkDesignco]

The creator is a goon rider he’d be the one crossing in middle of a jump and get landed on 🤦‍♂️

[@shooter7a]

KRoc has better pure technique. Sexton too. But Eli is an ATHLETE. He can simply push harder. One thing Tomac does that does not get enough attention is his overall body position. When he is standing, he is still so low. The change in position that he make to go from standing to sitting is more forward and back than up and down, because his hips are back and low, and his body flat. Sometimes you think Eli is sitting, when in fact he is standing...but his ass is on the seat half time time...and all his weight is on the pegs. Watch closely and you will see... This is a VERY tiring way to ride. Only Eli can really do it.

[@neilreid9005]

Not super insightful pointers on the video. At the end of the day, he shuts off later, turns it on sooner and has more throttle on at more places on the track than anyone else. He's also a beast for fitness- he's as fast at the end as he is at the beginning of a moto. He doesn't often get great starts but he simply hammers away until he gets past the few in front of him.

[@zaclloyd3441]

European riders are beating him

[@pyrofalcon146]

Wow, that music is really bad

[@jimbeaux89]

Still better than the same garbage rap beats you hear literally everywhere else

[@brianshields5307]

You need to relearn riding basics

[@ktmcrush2290]

And now he's not dominating with marv

[@tyduncan9654]

ktm crush lol he is doing better in points against Marv and wins

[@ktmcrush2290]

Ty Duncan yes but Marvin is an outdoor guy not that inside bs

[@jasonrondeau6345]

Lol Now looking at this comment "Marv is an outdoor guy" UMMMM.... Tomac 100% 1st place wins, and musquin already 28 points back... It's the START of the season and Musquin is 28 points back where in the END Tomac was 29 points behind Musquin which includes 3 last place finishes if I'm correct and one missed race.

[@mitchmitchell4694]

Only time marvy can win us if tomac goes down if has a miserable start. Marv's an also ran

[@timati_xj10]

Head above bars? lmaooooo

[@A7XfoREVer531]
