How Do You Land A Motorcycle?

How to land a motorcycle from a jump with Ryan Hughes

[@joshgibbons4518]

"so a lot of amateurs, vets and guys with neck braces" LOL

[@ManuelTorres-qy8op]

Thank you Ryno, I have heard many people talk about landing with the gas on but nobody has actually shown the reason or body position statically. I see myself landing in the goonish position you display and making all the errors you make with the bad result. Thanks again I am going to start training the right way again with good physics.

[@shooter7a]

Here is a key reason to ALWAYS land hard on the gas. "Anti-Squat". The geometry of a MX bike is carefully designed so that when you are on the gas, the geometry and reactionary forces of the chain in tension causes the rear to extend, or get stiffer. Landing on the gas make the bike feel like the spring is way stiffer. If you OJ and land flat...you will blow through and the rebound will send you over the bars. Land hard on the gas...and the rear can take a much bigger hit smoothly.

Oh, is that what happened. First thing I knew I was bouncing along the track thinking wow this is a great helmet!!

[@brianrichard1768]

[@jonathondavis170]

We all just need to start calling this man Papa Ryno - the father of moto. Who else takes the time to teach who is at the pinnacle of experience, knowledge, wisdom, and racing/riding pedigree??? ...I'm still waiting for an answer?????? Always come back to these videos and refresh my mind and concentration, and train, rain or shine...

[@RyanHughesMX]

Wow, I'm humbled. Thank you! #chargelife #iamryno

Ryan man: Back in 84, I practiced hole shots on a moist dirt road. I wanted to see what way of shifting was fastest, (gas pinned, no clutch, jam the next gear. I did not do that one because I was paying for the parts), (let off the gas a tad, hit the next gear with no clutch. Quickest for me.), (leave the gas wide open, fan the clutch and hit the next gear, speed shifting.). I found the 3rd to be the slowest, by looking at the longer coasting patch on the road between gears, and I always got good starts with the 2nd method, (had the shortest coasting patch between gears). But I hear some pros speed shifting today, and even MXA saying that is the fastest method. Funny, it was MXA in the 80's who said it was the slowest, and that is what I found with my testing too.

[@jonesesente7646]

what does it mean though? is it because of the limited movement?

I just started riding dirt last year on a KTM 150 - loving it... I come from being a badass standup jetskier and so I've been picking up the dirtbike skills pretty quickly. I'm in my late 40s and what you're teaching is wisdom - stuff that would take years to figure out naturally, you're spelling it out in 5 minutes. Lovin your videos!!

[@paulaalvarezvidal2646]

Initiation baby... Initiation. Instinct and intuition! Really like the way you teach Mr. Hughes! From Spain I'll keep watching all your vids. Now it's clear for me how to land: Toes on pegs, legs almost locked, butt out, head on handlebar and gasss!

[@earl6969]

Great video. Full send posture is a must.

thanks for the videos man your a great teacher, i just started riding a few weeks ago and im trying to learn with the right technique so i can focus on pure improvement later.

[@kelliebrooks9094]

This is so important but the era i learned by watching an studying their body position only did drop off an ski jumps...no real double where u needed to be in the front ..i never thought about worrying about landing because u think i ll just keep it straight...but that never happens when u start going fast an racing...a small fall over on a jump i cleared an small tibia break in my leg...may be awake to landing skill of mine needed work....the most important part...is u realizing u need to change or improve...other wise ur just tourchering ur mx teacher...like ryan whos trying to save ur ass from dumb mistakes...hey those mistake happen so u will remember why change is needed...peace....thanks to Ryno...when u figure out the secret to landing on ur front wheel forward on the bike...it takes away fear an bring understanding to landing an doing new jumps...its magical actually...physics

[@bryangreen356]

RYNO. Ive been watching your new Vids of you training Austin Forkner. He is gonna be so much sicker on that bike now with you as his new Trainer. He is already good ofcourse but Oh damn with those Ryno Touches added to his skillset its gonna be super good for him. I hope Austin knee is good and I pray he can race all next SX season with no freak accidents like the one we saw right outta the gate. That was so fucked. I felt so bad for Austin that night. Ryno you are a Legend. So much Respect for you!!! God Bless and I look forward to seeing more content!

[@greecemonkey1313]

Thank you Ryno appreciate all of the education that you provide!!!!!!

[@mikeraskin7319]

Spot on! I believe some if the reason why people do that is by watching the wrong people, plus fear. Many people try to get their head as far away from the fear as possible putting them too far back of the bike. Keep up the vids. Thank you👍

How the Pro's land the bike at the exact angle of the down slope is just mind blowing the bike just floats in one perfect arche over a triple even harder with a uphill jump

[@derailleurmind0454]

Thank you Ryno. Made so many mistakes at Red Bud. Being on 01 cr250 highlighted those mistakes as well. Finished 9th 30 B should of placed top 5. Had a Blast!!!! Cant wait to train at Baja acres sunday, our next best gnarly track!

Hey Ryan, I have some doubt with jumps. I keep my legs locked/clamped on to the seat all the way up on the face of the jump. Is this good or bad? I think it's good since it keeps my bike stable, but maybe it's better to loosen up a bit?

[@benblazek3305]

Throw the brace out, your neck will brake your fall....

[@ryancannon3110]

Ryan, how do you recommend taking big hits? I have always heard balls of feet riding, to which I felt like I was doing correctly. Unfortunately, I am now recovering from broken ankles after landing in a face. Was it probably due to poor rider position? Or do you shift anything around when you know you are about to hit a wall? I just recently heard to move to arches/heels to take big ones, but that goes against everything I've ever heard so I wanted to ask.

[@ryancannon3110]

Just FYI, the break was from over extension of the ankles and smashing the bones together on top of foot and bottom of leg bone

[@brianricoh3242]

I agree balls of the feet much as possible, but when it comes down to it on a huge bottoming type hit, the arches will take more than your ankles can absorb. Just like you mention.

[@brianricoh3242]

I think its because the arches transfer straight into the leg bone which is stronger. I tweak my right ankle all the time, bottoming on the balls of my feet, could be boot impingement in that area also. but I do have issue with the right ankle, right at the top and off to the side, but I other wise have good ankle flex, so its weird. this on different boots also, maybe they boots create an impingement in that area of the ankle, with alot of pressure and load flex. But yeah, once the ankle is tweaked I have to arch it.

[@mikeb4708]

Just curious what boots were you wearing?

[@RomeoMihalcea]

How ironic. To shit so much on "Guys that wear neck braces" only to have your neck broken later the same year. You have to remember that 60%+ of your audience is amateurs like me that don't hit jumps bigger than 1 meter. People that are out there having fun for 1-2 hours and going back to their work and family after that. I will happily accept the trade-offs of being more protected and going home on my legs, without my hand and toes looking like a confetti and being able to still provide for my kids. 20% of your remaining 40 are just trolls and you're feeding into them and IT SHOWS whenever you do a video because you just can't contain yourself to address those trolls and their comments - stop that, just teach what you wanna teach and be done with it. Stop reading comments if it gets you that mad and negative because that shit is tangible already. I'm not that much younger than you but the internet is tough man if you don't learn to ignore negativity. People here don't see eye to eye and they lack courtesy, they are not afraid to hurt your feelings or insult you. PLease take this as constructive criticism because my intentions are good, I watch your videos often.
