How To Properly Jump a Dirt Bike - 3 Basic Techniques

[@codyhannum2216]

Went to my local track and applied this technique and it works Never jumped a bike successfully before until yesterday This guy is a genius

[@janelvogel269]

That's awesome you improved from them!! I'm sure they love hearing that!

[@renerodriguez2940]

@David David do you pull up like on a bmx bike on a jump

[@jakunomx9351]

Rene Rodriguez I ride BMX and I used this video to get air on my dirt bike and it is really difficult to pull up but try to give it some gas near the jump

[@shahdzayyad4269]

Ngl that happens to me cuz i have no money to fix things but now idc any more

[@huskyluva2180]

Most important is being confident Because here’s how it goes for many beginners: -what if I crash -Jee that looks too hard 2 seconds later bam

[@DM-qp7do]

I couldn't agree more, no confidence, no jumping until you find your confidence. If you can't find it, try another sport.

[@jacobfrancisco7580]

Husky Luva I hit my first jump yesterday and I was like “what if I crash?” Then I came back around and was like “f it imma make this” and boom I did it

[@huskyluva2180]

Big PP good on ya

[@bryson96.]

Yea I always think I’m gonna finally double it but then I get scared so I just roll over the jump

[@huskyluva2180]

Bryson96 I have a suggestion to make you more confident: Instead of being uncommitted to double the jump be extremely committed to roll over the jump, by saying to yourself you will roll over the jump you’ll start associating that jump with a sense of confidence. After doing this for however long, maybe 20-30 times then try jumping it See, I personally know that even if you man up and take the jump when you’re not so confident, things can end badly, I personally was lucky, but I absolutley cased this long ass jump and went super-manning in the air. Since I’m on an enduro i came back on the ground and the bikes suspension reloaded so much it sprung me off the ground again. Basically you just need to be able to associate the jump in general with being easy by doing easy things on it. It’s a neat little mental trick

[@JERKMONKEYYEH]

I will soon be getting back into motocross. I'm 22 now but I haven't ridden since i had my yz85 when I was 14. This video helped me realize just how many mistakes I was making when I was young. Letting off the throttle too early, not squeezing my knees tight enough, improper positioning etc. It's no wonder I always landed wierd and could never seem to always properly get it right. No one ever taught me. It's honestly a miracle that I've never had a serious crash. I will definitely be sure to apply these when I get a dirtbike again. Thank you soo much for these tips and the effort you're making in these videos. It seems to work for everyone in the comments! I'm sure I will warm up nicely now that I have some good tips. Thanks again! Subscribed.

probably better off learning to jump somewhere you're familiar with, and wouldn't need to waste time finding a hospital.

make sure your fellow riders know where the nearest ER is before you go learning how to jump.

I just did MX for the first time in my life; previously only did trail riding and mountain riding here and there over the last 30 years. Stock WR250R (including stock on/off road tires). Was able to have a safe and fun time, hit and land every jump. I believe going through your videos really made a difference in translating my previous riding skills and style to the MX track, even if my bike isn't ideally configured for MX (front's too soft, etc.). Rode out from my house, drove to A51 in Batavia NY (people there are amazing by the way and maintain a great beginner MX course). I'm over 40, 30lbs over weight, haven't gotten to ride much in 3 years (other than regular streets). Registered, rolled onto the track, paced myself, stayed balanced on the pegs. Thankyou. You're videos are well done, very very well done. I think I had a great time today/tonight because of it and because I had a great track to play on that stayed mostly 2-3rd gear but could still get some great air.

[@jimmy_1925]

Yes I finally mad my first jump on a table top I swear this channel is the best for beginners to learn to ride I’ve legit learnt everything from this KZbin channel

Thanks for the jumping tips. I am currently the only one from my friend group driving motorcycles and few months ago started with MX. I have had to figure all by myself and at least these videos make it a little clearer what I SHOULD be doing :D

[@JarthenGreenmeadow]

I love all the jokes throughout the video. Nothing like an informative video that is also funny. Cheers.

[@halroy774]

Y'all have the best technique tips hands down. I have referred your channel to a few of the younger guys at work that want to ride with me. I am in my mid fifties and still throw a leg across my bike. Not as fast as I used to be but still enjoy the rush. I've learned a thing or two from you also. Awesome work. Keepem coming.

[@TheMxFactory]

We sure appreciate the feedback! And keep on rippin', we've taught people in their 70's riding, so you have years to go :)

[@carrotsocksfan4840]

I used to always do jumps with leaning to forwards and now can actually jump a Dirtbike because of this man

[@331moto]

This has to be one of the best, if not the best how to channels on KZbin. I'm just getting back into riding after about a 20 year hiatus. My ground game is good, its when I'm not on the ground thats causing issues. I feel like I'm constantly coming off the pegs when I get more than five or so feet in the air.

[@pdac1227]

1:25 you should've just said dont copy ronnie mac, and you'll be fine.

[@chrisp.bacon_exe]

Been taking these tips to the track. Helps a lot. Should I be hitting jumps in 3rd gear typically?

[@Nikosakii]

Depends on the size but 3rd gear will give you less of that “pull” feeling so it’s pretty safe but still depends

[@coltong2755]

Just pin it

[@tishector5430]

really depends. i usually do it in 4th on a bike but i have done it in 3rd

[@Godseverman]

if the jump has a kinda like a lip on the end, and you hit it and the front wheel goes stright down and you start doing a front flip is there anything you do fix it in the air or do you have to just brake both collar bones and hope you dont die? and is there something you can do before you leave the jump? say the jump has a lip or holes or something that can make the bike bounce

[@mikedamisch]

If your front end drops it's time to "panic rev" meaning full throttle which drops the rear wheel. If you on the other hand gets front wheel high off a jump you can tap the rear brake (with clutch engaged) which drops the front end down.

[@Godseverman]

dont work, i have tired ^^ ouch^^

[@mikedamisch]

Godseverman it does work but there's of course a limit to what you can save. There's no other way to correct once in the air (other than moving you body around of course).

[@wontrespond3263]

Did the handlebars yank your body forward? If you don’t leave enough play in your elbows and the bike yanks your body weight forward good luck stopping a nose dive. If you’re loose on the bike throttle and brake can change pitch significantly. I personally pop the throttle off lips.

[@alvinkinds]

I’ve done trail riding and always wondered the proper technique for jumping. That’s great information and thanks for sharing. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@BenjaminB.]

Hey verry funny and good videos thx for that! I have a question, what can i do when: sandy ruddy jumpface, backwheel kick soft to the side and brings the bike out of balance in the air... its a really bad feeling! so i fly a little sideways and crash in the landing...

[@toddwilliams5953]

Can you give any suggestions for dimensions of small, medium and large jumps and the degree of the face. ie 6ft wide 12" tall with face 3' from base to high point... Thx

[@nicholasnoon3961]

I wish I watched this before trying my first MX track today. The back end kept coming up on me so I figured I needed more throttle through the jump. Had to pop my shoulder back in place on the bottom of the jump....

[@Angelaxqu2]

That's the fun thing on jumping thanks I am learning kx65

[@ronnieguest4136]

@themxfactory Could you possibly do a video specifically on rutted and kickered jump faces. There’s a gnarly step up at my local track that I can only hit early in the day before everybody ruts it up and creates kickers. I see those guys blasting it no problem but I don’t know how. It seems every time I try to hit it while it’s rough the bike gets kicked sideways.

[@Gabriel83580]

I thought landing and front wheel or rear wheel balance had to do with speed and foot brake control. You said just keep it at a steady idol from start to finish and landing would aways differ. I haven't done it,but I've seen front ends go up or down quickly with the rear wheel spinning and stopping in mid air.
