I Need to be Better...Southwick Pro National Training Vlog

[@arthurcardooso]

you have the speed mate.. just need to commit to some gnarlier lines to take that 1-2 seconds by lap like jett does.. not a comparison.. but line up in the gate with a top front guy mentality will permit you to have the courage to commit to those type of lines and be up front..

[@davidilott1319]

Sand track baby thats your jam , fight from the gate drop you dont have to make excuses for us , we are impressed as hell that you are doing something most of us never could

[@Big_HUD215]

Let’s go Jeff!!! I’m ready to see a gas gas further up the leaderboard ! Good luck🤙🏼

[@JeffWalker84]

Thanks man! We’re trying

[@ElNitro7]

Always rooting for you! The family and I will be at budds creek to meet and cheer you on!! Good luck this weekend. You got this!! Hit those gnarly lines!!!

[@Rotella.53]

Shoulda hit sandbox NH little north of southwick open to all pros this week for free, one of the sickest tracks in New England.

[@Auden115]

love that track

[@matrix3673]

I definitely like the gopro footage you do, but also have a mix like this is also amazing Keep it up!

[@ReklessStandard]

The one thing that i will say is that keep it smooth keep it loose, and keep on the gas. The one thing i noticed with a lot of riders now adays is they dont carry speed while on the throttle. you deffentally have the speed to be up in the top 20. You have proved that. Capitalize on just being loose and on the throttle. let the bike control you with your input.

[@Dirt_Bike_Dave]

I am Always cheering for You JWalk...commit to those starts my man..easiest way to pass a ton of people at once...you know this stuff already...time to execute the plan...Good Luck and Stay Safe 😁👍

[@1993YZ]

Jeff, the guy you filmed at Glen Helen was riding a gear taller and flowing boundary to boundary using the whole track. The speed will come from getting creative with opening up the corners, minimize breaking and maximizing acceleration time, right? The C class main lines at supercoop for example are not worth practicing. Carve your own path brother. Outsmart the other guys. Don't follow.

[@INSIDELINE65]

That's awesome to see Broc Peterson in there, Good Luck at Southwick, see you at Redbud!

[@DBGROWS]

looking good but to me in the choppy stuff ur front end seems to be rebounding just a hair to fast . atleast its what im seeing... but cant wait to see u racing southwick! u got this bro!

[@ronchappel4812]

The part about the depth of the field is super interesting.Its been a long time since ive heard lap times at the back of the field mentioned. All the best! Now that i know about you i'll be following your progress

[@Evo836]

Good luck with the Wick! That track was good for some practice in the sand.

[@SketchyXC]

Ill be at Southwick pulling for you man! 🤘

[@ohiomoto]

If you want to know how to qualify for a national, read the comments when JWalk says "I need to get faster"!! 🤣 Don't mind us Jeff (I'm guilty too), we just want to help. And, look at the bright side, it's good for the algorithm. Good luck this weekend!

[@ryanxmx31]

Your definitely right a lot more stacked this year

[@revanche2212]

I’ll be there with my camera, hopefully can get some sweet shots! Good luck out there!

[@breezy2951]

Can’t wait to see you at red bud. I’ll be there.

[@coreygallant4933]

can come tear my backyard up hahaha good luck at southwick wicked trainin vid

[@shanegolding436]

Keep charging Jeff, you’ll get there.

[@Brian23471-o]

hope you do well at " the wick" great video J walk

[@ClassicCyclingCC]

Maybe just me, but Jeff doesn’t seem to be having fun riding his dirt bike like he used to a year or 2 ago. Just my humble take. Cheers everyone.

[@westcoastfrisco]

Fun at this level is getting the results you want.

[@malachikapenga2339]

It’s stuff to stay positive in sports like this. He’s going to keep working and keep getting better

[@nickv3085]

It’s a bitter grind to be the best at anything. I don’t envy it.

[@dandlugolecki3408]

Not every day is sunshine and rainbows. You only get so far with fun, he’s learning that.

[@bryanroberts]

You must not watch all his videos.. he's been having fun... the beginning of the video he says he's sick..???? It's a tough tough really tough field this year...

[@99thepro]

believing in you jeff, go get them

[@vierraventures]

LFG ! Always checking the leaderboard for ya.

[@terrybible1545]

Hang in there Privateer.. Ride to your capabilities and don;t get hurt

[@factionlesswrx3256]

"even the toughest of fools pucker when the hear the name " good luck at the wick this weekend, bonus if you know where that lines from

[@russellseibold7970]

Turns turns turns that's the key to faster lap times. I have a couple ideas for u but you might not want to hear them from a old mixer. You will need your dad's help or a friend to help u. Have one said where u let off going into turn next lap when u get to them it both brakes you will stop way before u need to . So after that have that person take full or half steps toward turn stay on gas to them then back do this till you blow through the turn take step back the re es your stopping point. Same process for coming out of turn stand where your back on gas move half step so you get on gas faster you will find if u can do this in every turn u can your lap times will come down. At your level everyone jumps some find different rhythm but turn speed is key. Just my 2 cents maybe it could help you.

[@skeepyy]

It would be very cool when you show your races that you put which position you are and which laps your in

[@joshcandela13]

Bro can't wait to meet you next weekend at red bud whoooooo

[@joelatkinson2080]

Another great video!!!

[@bobbyblenio4571]

Unfortunately Jeff…you Have to Risk it All ! You Have to Push Hard & Go for it !!…that’s how Moto is !….That’s Dangerous!…but That’s how Moto is !…I got Hurt Before I started Racing,but I had something In me that was Crazy as my friends would Say…I had Whiskey Throttle !…But it Helped me when I started Racing….Unfortunately I Kept getting Hurt….Then the Mental Game comes into play,this is a Brutal Sport & if you Want to Make it Big Time…you Have to “Ride the Razors Edge”….I can See You are a Good Rider,…my advice is Push Hard Everywhere you can !….except for Jumps…unless you Want to Push n that area,if you Push in Corners Especially,that’s where you will get Fast Also,I got Hurt pushing on Jumps,so That was the Dangerous part for Me,whenever I Pushed Anywhere Else it Wasn’t so Bad if I Crashed ,as in Corners or Straight sections,….you got Skills Bud….just gotta Risk It !….Gotta Push Hard !….These dudes Don’t Mess around !…..Working Out is a Big Must also,…you Gotta be Strong for a Full Moto !….I Enjoy your Vids here on the Tube 🤘🦾🏁

[@Rubbinz24]

Luckily sand and heat will make ya sweat it out bro!! 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, Good luck this weekend and don't forget the water wings...for that kiddie pool. Dont want ya to drown. 😅

[@Kiddsworld66]

Ain’t no one messing with Jeff at the front lol.

[@peterodonohue4482]

Other people have said it on here. Gear higher, use that torgue of the 450 to "drag" you around the track. You don't seem to to carry speed through corners like some do?/ Maybe that way the bike is more settled, suspension is working better, NOT reacting to hard acceleration/hard braking all the time. The hard acceleration/braking will wear you out quicker as well. Smooth is fast. Just my 2 cents worth.........

[@timdefrain2692]

Great camera work.

[@JustEdit22]

Are you going to all the rounds this year? Just curious if I’d see you at Washougal

[@zachenglehart8621]

Loving the intensity keep it up! Results will come. Do you have a practice bike and race bike this year or are you just running the one 450?

[@_.momjeans_9219]

I’m always going to advocate going to a training facility because that’s literally where you go to get faster however I’m not oblivious to the fact they are really expensive. You’ve made it pretty clear you want better results and we know that too so id recommend perhaps getting a on the bike trainer at a smaller facilty or perhaps just hammering out some money races with other local pros and just getting in some really good technique work on the bike. It’s also not secret that this day in age of racing is heavily influenced by bike skill and as a viewer I can visually see where you lack in some areas especially with elbow dropping haha tall guy issues I know. Anyhow just trying to give some input if you want to be better you’ll find ways too if you’ve proven anything over the years on KZbin is that you got one of the best hard work ethics out there and you’ll obtain anything you set forth in your path. Keep grinding and striving for more. #841 #TTP

[@raceready8973]

Are you practicing starts?

[@AdventureswithQuillen]

Not enough sand...come back to Florida and hit the Croom pit!! Lol

[@ttt69420]

The only difference that really stood out to me from Robin's onboard footage was his momentum. It's stark. I would focus on that, personally. A lot of that may be bike setup, but if he's pulling a tenth of a second a section on momentum alone It's a second a lap from a learnable technique rather than some inate talent, fitness, or horsepower barrier. Aggression looks fast, feels fast, but hardly ever is outside of braking. Line selection and momentum looks boring, but it puts nice numbers on the stopwatch and with less energy.

[@kjc4414]

Just curious - Are you friends / friendly / close to Matt Burkeen?... I think the 2 of you have the Best Independant / Privateer MX YT channels - by far!... He just switched from 250 2 stroke to 450 4 stroke ... and seems you guys are pretty close in qualifiers and finishes... Just thought if the 2 of you could get together - push each other, etc... maybe , just maybe you could both get up further in the ranks?... ALSO: You mentioned a long time ago - that you were going to focus more on the race at hand - rather than the video on your helmet/chest - and not tape the actual motos any longer (I think 2 years ago), and you had A GREAT SEASON!! You had thought that the need to concentrate on the camera for "the shot", was distracting you from being 100% into your race mode focus... Could that still be the case? NOT that any of us want you to stop filming the actual races - but perhaps only film the qualifiers - and LCQ's, and leave the actual Moto's for others to film - so you can be 1000% immersed in it... Just a thought.... Good Luck at Southwick (my old home track in the mid - late 70's!)!.....

[@chupacabraracing181]

Matty B and superfan are awesome! Fredddyyyyy!!!! 😂

[@djc7039]

like the track

[@JimG1964]

You should go to a facility like club or something similar and see where you end up. It's amazing how far you have come but go all in and sort it out. You would probably save money in the long run by investing and just figuring out how far you can go. Just thoughts from a fan.

[@mobilitymary9608]

I’ve been sick too lately. Something going around

[@TommyToboggan611]

See you and Cale at redbud!

[@slowskis]

Good luck this weekend!

[@JeffWalker84]

Thank you!

[@onlygazza]

You need to race more with locals, racing is different to training and race speed is different to being the fastest guy in the practice track, wish you well 👍 ( ps the start is where it’s at, no start no way you can overtake a lot of people the same speed as yourself so good start stay where you are good place )

[@JeffWalker84]

Definitely agree with this. Time to hit some money motos and pro ams this off season

[@OtisFlint]

@@JeffWalker84 We've got some fast locals in MA, they come out of the woodwork for the national. Good luck, will be a tough field and a tough track.

[@wojteknowak9061]

how often do you replace the piston in the 250 4t

[@kevinfossey9267]

Jeff you said it ! You now can’t turn up and think you going to get in ! So full gas bad boy if it’s hard get harder !! Now go practice 40 minute Moto’s 😂 no cup cake excuses.!!

[@Jonathanbroyles61]

Knee Braces? If so which ones?

[@KTMWilson22MXB]

I think you should give the 250 moto’s ago you’d smash it get the intensity for a year and give the 450 another go

[@James-uo3qi]

Hard for privateers to keep up in the 250 class with how modded everyone’s motors are that’s why most privateers go 450

[@OtisFlint]

@@James-uo3qi Yep, and the fact they have such short lifespans. You get 3x the run time from a 450 before rebuilds/major service. 450s are MUCH cheaper to run, most of the fast 250 guys practice on 450s.

[@kylanaeter9322]

I’m Blake Taylor’s kid Nathan and I watch your videos every day next year could I get a pair of goggles or gloves

[@lloyddl]

Is it possible to get a coach or go and train with guys who are better than you so you can train with the speed you need to be. You’re way better than the two guys you’re riding with so that doesn’t help you for the level you’re trying to reach. I just want to see you do better

[@HudsonCook328]

U got this man🫵

[@coltinanderson4736]

Professional riders get sick more than anyone. And it actually makes sense. Dudes push so hard that their bodies immune systems are shot. Then, they’re around so many people. Greatness hurts

[@ghpjerry]

Maybe time to consider a full time trainer? I know it's expensive but I think between the channel monies & dad, you could pull it off financially? Every yr gone, is another yr lost. Go get 'em!

[@jtfike]

can't you do 250? Would that be better for you? You always do better in mudders and we haven't had one yet this year.

[@JeffWalker84]

It would, but also a lot more expensive to build and maintain. I’m also a lot taller and heavier than 99% of the 250 field, so that makes it tough

[@honda4100]

​@JeffWalker84 how do you set your bike up for the sand of Southwick? Do you just turn all your clickers in? Or is there a slight revalve especially for this round?

[@JeffWalker84]

I just go stiffer and slower with clickers! Maybe drop the forks in my triple clamps a bit if I feel like the front end is digging in too much

[@jtfike]

@@JeffWalker84 Always rooting for ya, Jeff. I will be at Millville and look forward to seeing you there!

[@Bodie2020]

While that is an awesome offseason track. That is NOT a track you need for quality training. It’s needs to be reworked terribly bad. After the rework you need to set up cones to make you have to use different parts of each section.

[@Moto16154]

you ride like deegan on the limiter

You need to practice on rougher tracks at the very least… these tracks aint preparing you for pro nationals at all.. you might be able to go really fast which must feel great until you show up to a pro track 13 seconds a lap off the leaders..

[@JeffWalker84]

I’d love to if they existed near me! Can’t really spend $50k per year to stay at a training facility unfortunately

Hey Jeff id be willing to help with some sponsorship if you are interested.
