[@travismcgarry]

So Moto-x was my whole life and I thought I’d be racing the best in US and Europe… when I failed I turned my back on moto bikes and had to recalibrate Plan-B. Now as a 40pluss old timer your videos and following your races last year have been fundamental in me falling back in love with riding.

[@DerekHallman]

Amazing lesson!! I won't be trying this until I'm a a little better at jumping but I'm stoked to put your teachings to work!

[@CoachSludge]

How is this not hearted yet?

[@-PlayMaker-]

The fact that you teach them riders during the week and race in the highest level of SX during the weekend is unreal. And you still make the main events even sometimes. That right there is a major W. Especially when you think about how much time the riders your up against spend all week every week training and conditioning THEMSELVES for the race. You should be proud of yourself. 💪

[@AjCatanzaro]

Thank you! It’s really difficult

[@taylort123]

Your fanbase is growing because of what you offer in spite of track results. Logan Karnow and Cade Clason are both local to my area, and sometimes Ill get dressed to ride when theyre out and Ill just watch before I go out to see what they're doing and learn from it. Im in the midwest off season so I try to soak up everything I can when I cant ride. If you told me how to slice a tomato properly Id still keep it in mind even though I dont eat them.

[@AjCatanzaro]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@snarfdwarf]

I'm definitely gonna try this at the local track coming season.

[@2stroketyson79]

AJ is the only person I respect on KZbin when It comes to teaching too many guys who cant even ride are on here trying to teach AJ is a real teacher all you young guys should listen to everything he says! Take advantage of his knowledge because not too many at his level willing to do what he does!

[@gavinrose3962]

I really appreciate your videos even tho I don’t have a dirtbike I just like to watch them. Your a really good teacher and have a positive attitude. Keep up the work

[@bunnyman6321]

You get a dirt bike yet?

[@lindseyhunt1090garageb]

i love how you ride all the kids bikes hahaha so awesome

[@Rom1990pod]

4:00 this is my dance, when AJs new video released))

[@MrJeffharper47]

The way you explained the hip movement by showing it almost like a dance was really helpful.

[@52yamahar1]

Great stuff AJ, feel like I’m stood next to you at the track the way you describe the techniques to the camera 👍🏻

[@lawndart188s]

Way to go AJ! Love seeing the excitement from kids as they learn. You rock homie!

[@tannerhardie]

Thank you again Aj!!! It’s like honestly when I think about something I wanna learn more on you come out with a video on it lol. I get it better now that it’s in more in-depth and I can try to scrub a little more advanced now seeing it in slow motion. Big thanks again and thank you for giving some tips to us on the tube!!!

[@midwestmuskysquad]

Love it as a father and coach been waiting on a safe tutorial rather than cut up the lip and hang on

[@ataiken8406]

love it, I have been wanting to learn the right way, so many opinions out there but Seriously I only believe what AJ says for riding technique and everything moto

[@AjCatanzaro]

Thanks!! Be careful who you listen to when it comes to riding tips. I promise you can trust me! Haha

[@eric6rock]

You can go to the mxfactory if you want more tips I learn from a lot of sources and different techniques. It's good to have a lot of moto knowledge.

[@kings17court]

@@AjCatanzaro I try to get information from different sources, but like you said, you have to be careful who you listen to. Johnny Hopper teaches to ride on the arches of your feet. I've heard from enough reputable sources that it should be the balls, so I feel I know better. Besides, balls just makes more sense when explained and analyzed.

[@Last-Lap-Lando4]

Thanx again for all the great content AJ. Keep it coming.

[@LikeAPetrol]

AJ is the one online tutor for me. Greetings from Russia, Coach. Please do not leave us with your tips.

[@AjCatanzaro]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@seller559]

Ive watched dozen of videos on scrubbing. This is the first one I understood. Awesome!

[@markd2858]

I really appreciate all the videos, as a 50 plus novice/intermediate rider I would like to make little improvements but the reality is that I can't risk doing things I'm not comfortable with because I can't afford to get injured. So I keep my risk to reward low and try to stay within my zone. Your videos help me gain a little confidence and try new things slowly with less risk. Thank you.

[@mikeschlup5279]

I am 64 and would like to start riding again...AJ is such a great teacher...have learned quite a bit!

[@randomdude8310]

This is a pretty advanced technique on a snowboard. The patience/confidence you have in your instruction is awesome. Note your leg "flexion/extension" as it relates to the arc of the takeoff/landing. That's just fancy words for bending your legs, but the timing is key. Watch where your knees are "most flexed" or "most extended". It's brilliant footage to demonstrate that concept, for any sport.

[@bryankirk7864]

The quality of your content reflects the growth of the channel. Thanks for being so good at it!

[@50STUNT]

Great lesson, i'm gonna try some this weekend and see how it goes. my scrub tech is no scrub and i back of the gas for jumps so I don't launch into flat.

[@trn450]

Best instructional videos on the net! Thanks! And the Moto Academy is great, too.

[@devineliason84]

[@kieranmacca9370]

Much better camera setup in the office/at home clip now! Ive been starting to get comfortable with srubbing lately so this vid is perfect timing. Also, thanks for the bonus nac, heel clicker and superman tips! haha.

[@AjCatanzaro]

I always make sure my students know the three basic freestyle moves 😂

[@kieranmacca9370]

Thats it if a supermini kid can scrub so can i, i appreciate the confidence boost aj

[@jenniferphillips3929]

Thank you for the lesson yesterday

[@curt248]

Perfect. Let us know how or if this works as he gets more comfortable with more air/speed. I thought you would have needed a big jump to try this. Thank you so much.

Your so helpful bud keep it up

[@tonemiester]

I first learned to scrub on a mini bike then when I got a big bike I kinda put two and two together and progressed quickly

[@busybeans87]

I was told the same thing, when you're ready I will kinda happen on its own. My biggest thing is confidence now 😆

[@exoticcamo7626]

Bro honestly it’ll come natural and when you do it you gonna be like wait what did I just

[@WestonSpicer]

Fr it sounds stupid asf but it’s true

[@ls1jeeper]

Would have been cool to have split screen with you riding (might had to do it on your bike) Showing scrubbing vs not scrubbing, to show the height you're losing by scrubbing. Nice videos 👍

[@laurynasram]

Started experimenting with scrubbing last season. When you get the hip motion right it feels awesome and is super quick compared to just launching it straight. Another way I found that can minimise air is a super quick dip with your body. Not really sure how it's called, but essentially you almost do a squat on the lip of the jump and let the bike move upwards underneath you 🤷‍♂️

[@AjCatanzaro]

Yep! You can call that soaking it up. It’s essentially the same movement you would do pumping a bmx bike over rollers.

[@MXUnion]

Nice!

[@secret-s--5004]

if you guys ever race in ohio ill be supporting you!!!! 330 is my area code! GO AJ!

Do you guys hear those 2 strokes in the back ground !! Love the videos. I love your humility and attention to detail and more so how you build that confidence for guys to conquer what they haven’t done Wish you would come to Canada

Thanks! We're working on Western Canada dates right now.

That jacket is sick bro

[@AjCatanzaro]

It’s a few years old but I love it!

[@leonibs5034]

It’s never to early to learn the scrub it all starts with just a little tilt of the bars going over singles next thing you know you can lay it flat.

[@kirkdunn1379]

I never learned how to do that, I was always good at jumps and big jumps but never learned this techique.....was very good explanation though.....i don't ride anymore but always wanted to learn this.....i done it on accident few times, lol.....i just never trusted the bike would come back and consequences are huge if get it wrong

[@rizkyuye4987]

Kereeennn 😎🤟

[@emilianosatalino]

Really super

[@americanhunter9985]

If you are asking how to scrub you probably not ready. Just start moving your hips at first when your comfortable it comes pretty fast, but very hard to explain everyone does it a bit different.

[@misfit1-3]

okay but that 2 stroke streaming in the back

[@alycium201]

Is it best to attack the face and absorb off the gas or steady throttle all the way off the lip?

[@genaminin]

Super. How to train safely long whoops?

[@jakehester3650]

Come to my Mesa Motocross Park in Fellsmere Fl pleaseeeee

[@craigmcinnis8750]

Should you counter steer to get the lean faster like on a road bike?

[@baileyayers4876]

At the local track I’ve seen kids dads tell them go practice your whips all moto on a 65.

[@flexdubel5870]

Do you need to let of the gas before doing the scrub or holding it wide open till you take off?

[@georgekaravatakis6728]

When we do the scrub how we return the bike to correct position

[@kirbysadventures8000]

I wanna do one of these private lessons.

[@ethanhawkins9614]

I can only whip my bike out to the left lol

Nice.

I was at Atlanta. You are a awesome teacher!!!

[@benfairhall5331]

So is landing full crank on the gas also a help in straightening the rear end up if you do land a little sideways?

AJ, will you be in Daytona this weekend?

[@AjCatanzaro]

Yep!

[@guyrodges244]

Why the little bikes?

[@glenne3868]

I just wanna point out the second you started showing body motion…you pointed your toes in. I need to work on keeping my toes pointed in so it was a nice reminder for me without you even talking about it.

[@theconnerrollins]

I see alot of people jump in the attack position, but when I watch a pro rider they stand basically straight up at the face and then at the top they drive their hips back and get back into the attack position. Can you explain the concept behind this?

[@AjCatanzaro]

Can you share a link to a video of someone doing what you’re describing? I’ll be able to explain if I can see it

[@laurynasram]

I think you're talking about a seat bounce, which is a technique that uses quick rear shock compression and unload to make the bike go further

[@theconnerrollins]

@@AjCatanzaro yeah, I think I might have one

[@theconnerrollins]

@@AjCatanzaro kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYmWZJKMeb2gp5Y. It's a little blurry for some reason but you should be able to get the idea

[@AjCatanzaro]

So in that video you’re watching someone soak up a high speed jump with a short/steep lip. So they’re basically just trying to soak it up as much as possible. Looks like club mx?
