What you guys think?? Was this video helpful??

[@team2sick850]

Brother all your videos are very knowledgeable..and this is the truth and not only fmx but mx. Everything u said would help all riders.. maybe not so stiff if they ain't riding fmx.. but everything u explained is awesome. Keep ripping it brother. So proud of you and giving me motivation.. thank you.

[@rileyrizfransen8934]

Ronnie Faisst yep very good 👌🏼

[@301jax]

Ronnie Faisst , very helpful ... think this can help alot of guys get in to FMX without alot of injurys .. good to hear from a pioneer that tricks dont happens over night🙏🤛... think to many try to go all in at first , crash and no more 😬🥳👍🏁🇺🇸🏁

[@jacobburen672]

I appreciate isn’t a lot there’s not a lot of info out there about getting into FMX I hope to see more videos like it it would be awesome if you could do tutorials on tricks... that would make my life so much easier...

Nice vid bro

[@Willdriftfortires]

I just started riding this year at 30. This is the kind of content I need to study and absorb lol.

[@faisstlife]

Going to be dropping more videos on riding tips for beginners soon 🙌🏼

[@Willdriftfortires]

@@faisstlife you should do a video on steel ramps. maybe sell ramp plans. im a welder by trade but the info is hard to find or trust.

[@koolkat8639]

willdriftfortires if you’re in California, scummy Morrison has fmx classes, you should check it out. It’s for beginner riders like you, all the way up to experienced riders.

[@cra4war]

I’m half tempted too quit my job take my bike and move out west, I can’t find anyone near me who does freestyle and I just wanna learn how and prove to myself that I can hit jumps like that. I’ve done no footers but nothing crazy.

[@lancethinkpink]

dude thanks. rockstar!

[@kelliebrooks9094]

I think last time i raced i was clearing 65 feet the table top was 50 an i was clearing the end and landing on the flat....good steering damper we use them road racing what a help it is....its nice to probably ride ur bike or race with out it first so u can feel where u want it and what it changes increments...so u dont not feel ur bikes handling feel....each bike has its own frame geo

[@kingcarnage_]

I was into the freestyle in my younger days but I’m older now. However if I were wanting to start then yes this video would be good advice.

[@kellysunseri-adams8550]

I don't even own a dirt bike and I loved this vid haha I really do want to get into fmx, just afraid I'm too old now. 30 too late to start?

[@faisstlife]

Yeah man! I have some coming coming. How did the tire pressure work?

[@fmxbenburnett]

Ronnie Faisst bro it made me jump way farther!! I’m stoked I can lower my gearing for a slower approach and still get the distance I want. Definitely helped me out a ton bro you the OG

Should I set my rebound faster or slower front and rear?

[@madamejesus6591]

Really Great Video Ronnie...!! I'm a huge admirer of the OG's like yourself, and an Amateur FMX rider from the UK! Also friends with Ian who owns i-49 MX track in Kansas... was riding in Greenville,Texas with him back in 2017 - small world I know!! He's got a ramp set up at his place just now so I'm hoping to come over next year sometime :P Thanks so much for the vids, they're super helpful/informative/inspiring and I'm sure a whole bunch of people feel the same as me! I'll subscribe to the channel for sure... Bless Up.. Peace!

[@faisstlife]

Thanks bro! Yeah man I met Ian who has the ramp at his place. I may be riding over there this Sat.. small world for sure 👍🏼👍🏼

[@madamejesus6591]

@@faisstlife Yeah man I just spoke to him on a video call tonight! He's built a big old dirt landing and the ramp is good to go!! Wish I could come watch you ride but I'm in the UK haha!! It's probably the safest way for him to jump it to have you go over there and tow him over it.. Anyways have a Great one if you end up heading out to I-49 & I hope to get out to Kansas when the world has gotten back to normal!! Keep on Rockin.. you're an inspiration mate!! Peace :)

What’s a stabilizer? I’m in western mass and trying to get into freestyle and use it to spread hope and a positive outlet for so many people in our community.

@@faisstlife so if i wanted to start where can i get a fmx ramp or do they need to be custom made. Or should i just make one with dirt

[@Grizzlesquad]

good job on here man !! just quick one what would be better ktm 250 sx or ktm 150 sx for freestyle im about 65 kg prefer 2t . more leaning towards 250. 2020 model. dont get alot of info and help in uk.

[@faisstlife]

I would go with the 250 for sure! Way better for FMX then the 150 🙌🏼

I'm 18 is it too late to go pro I've been riding since I was about 6 but I never learned tricks just basic jumps I stopped riding when I was 14 and started practicing to race cars did that for awhile then my dreams got crushed so I'm getting back into riding and wondering if I can actually do this dream

[@danirinner6662]

Do you have any tips on tricks you can learn at the track because there are no ramps anywhere near where I live and in Austria you're not allowed to ride on your own property let alone build a ramp.

[@faisstlife]

Yeah! Start with the basics!! No footer, no hander, heel clicker, nac nac, can can. You can do those if there is a big enough jump at your local track

Im 13 and trying to start early lol. What cc do you recommend starting out on? I have a 125sx 2 stroke and a 250excf 4 stroke.

[@faisstlife]

The 250 4 stroke would be better for the ramps for sure.. 👍🏼👍🏼

So Ron I really look up to you and I am 11 so I could do this with my 70?

[@faisstlife]

yes just on a much smaller jump lpl

[@connormangseth1025]

Hey, hopefully someone in the fmx community can help me out with the recommended rebound. I think faster rebound will buck me off the lip but I’m not sure. Do you guys run slower rebound? Plz help!

[@faisstlife]

Yes a little slower is better for FMX.. start at like 10 clicks out front and rear and see how that feels 👍🏼👍🏼

[@connormangseth1025]

Ronnie Faisst thanks a lot. Hitting the ramp I bought from ol fitzo today, finally got her set up. U da legend!

[@thecvhsricer3121]

What if you live in an area where this isn’t very popular, Like I live in Washington state so where could I go to practice?

[@faisstlife]

That’s the hard thing. I many states there’s no ramps set up at public places. Either have to get some land yourself or talk to one of the local track owners and see if you buy the ramp that they will build you a landed for it. Few tracks in cali did that for some of the guys

[@ZonerD_loner96]

Does anyone know if I can set up my 1997 yz250 for freestyle or is it too outdated?

[@faisstlife]

no you can set it up 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Raul1Silva]

I want to know, how fast (in mph) do the pros take off to hit a 75 foot gap?

[@faisstlife]

man i'm not sure what the mph would be but 2ed gear on a 450 just cruzin then power through the ramp

[@Cody2nd]

I’d kill to have a place to ride some metal ramps and start learning. there’s nothing but race tracks around me and no one that is into fmx, so there’s not much info. Do you know of anyone or anywhere in Ohio or the surrounding states that’s got metal ramps or a fmx set up people can ride?

[@faisstlife]

What about Trevor Vines! He’s FMX guy from Ohio

[@jasonodonnell5905]

Do you think 2 stroke or 4 stroke for freestyle is better?

[@Eeky98]

Go for 4 strokes, preferably injection, carbereted tend to bog on the ramp. The enginebraking is very handy

[@faisstlife]

4 strokes for sure
