[@warrencurrie6454]

Thank you for all your great content - and showing the good, the bad, and the funny! Really appreciated.

[@MidWestMX]

Thank you for enjoying it. Means the world 🙏

[@AaronsEnduro]

The reason you "suck" as you say, is because of you bailing when you get these opportunities to actually practice it! Im terrible at the track myself but id be damned if I didn't try some more when I'm all the way out there already! You'll get the hang of it with more practice and effort into it!!! Keep on shreddin bro!

[@MidWestMX]

Confidence is my biggest floor along with self doubt. I’m working hard on overcoming it but it’s still a challenge, especially when you always ride with incredible riders. I’ve always had imposters syndrome so I’m teaching myself to battle it slowly but surely. Thank you. 🙏

[@woodysrockspyro6436]

Lol.. just imagine yourself making the obstacles. Once you can go from seeing your crash in your head to seeing you complete something the riding gets better. I hit logs now in 2nd gear at speed I used to go right around. Couldn't force myself to do it. Stupid eyes and brain work for U... force em to do their job.

[@theboysadventures9956]

@@MidWestMX I have two groups I ride with one I’m the best rider and the other I’m the worst to the first group I try push everyone after I have riden a climb/obstacle before them then explain and teach them how to hit it and the boys have learnt a lot from this and then there’s the other group where I get no pointers or time from anyone and I just have to hit shit and learn on the go. I think you would benefit a lot from someone that is happy to take their time and explain things to you as you go about your day in the bush. I’m not sure how doable that is for you though

[@Willywiggler69]

Hey man. I know you wont read this but i really really appreciate your videos and they got me back into riding wich helped me through alot of stuff. Thanks man

[@MidWestMX]

I read them all my friend and thank you. That’s great to hear

i was literally thinking at "ride this like sand ""but i dont know how to ride sand" and then you said it XD

[@officialhavre]

I learn so much from you that I never knew. Going through a corner? Turning is key. That's brilliant.

[@MidWestMX]

Glad it was helpful! 😂

[@ENZZOJJ]

Myself and my son do enduro and just like to say we love you videos and content always watching ur stuff and picking up little tips and advice many thanks keep up the great stuff 👍

Thank you 🙏

[@Lokos550]

I’m glad I’m not the only one with these thoughts in my head on motocross tracks 😂 just got a FX 350 and it’s my goal to learn moto on it other than single track/woods. Love the content brother!

Embarrassing😂😂 Love your vids keep up the great work😊 5:32

bloody hell mate, dont give up on it on the MX track give it ya hardest crack!!! push yourself and FKN SEND IT !!

[@crazyjobnik3151]

GREAT VIDEO!!!!

[@Nick-jp9im]

I used to really struggle with ruts the best thing to do is just ride as many as you can once ur in the rut and can keep in it I’ll be a lot faster just don’t look at them be looking at the next corner or whatever is coming up next. Great video as always 🤙

[@svenseshs]

Great vid love ur work

[@joebrownagri1792]

Should have taken the 150 for the MX track! I think with the smaller, lighter bike, you would have kept in the power band a bit more, therfore enjoying it and natruraly become more confident. Great video as always!

[@user-uc2dk1vp6e]

Wish i could get into this, love ur videos mate keep it up

[@Wizard-c3q]

Good work Midwest

[@floza112]

Love the vid, the improvement from start to finish was huge, good job!. I also struggle with confidence on my 300 HE. One thing I do notice is the bike lugging quite a lot just off stall, which is fine on trails but it's stock gearing 14-45 makes first and second a requirement going slow. I have found dropping the gearing to 13-48 or 12 45 to try has livened the bike up, making the clutching up work so much smoother as 1st crawls at walking pace and clutching up in 1st/2nd just mint, but obviously you lose the top speed.

[@a1monkey13]

You ride almost as bad as me 😂. Brilliant mate! 👍

[@RJLumani]

I love how you commentate in your videos

[@ashwinkrishnan4435]

Hey man i too am starting out my journey of getting into MX & Enduro, the imposter syndrome is real lol. Hopefully i get through it. your videos help a lot 👍 keep it up brother.

[@Fixitmen]

Been waiting for these vids 🎉 top man 🙏

[@Billyipod]

Hi brother, as always good video, motocross is scary, as someone who makes enduro 80% of the time, but i like to hit the track, i can tell you, motocross is super scary at first, dont worry, something that might help with ur confidence, and that helped me, is to set the suspension, for a track, which normally means to put all the settings 8 clicks higher than normally, ( remember to later put it back to enduro setting ) a harder suspension allows u to make way more mistakes without bouncing around or getting kikked off the bike after a big root or a small jump, give it a go buddy, good luck and take it easy ;)

[@greengoblindave]

Confidence yes. Not over confident… Great ride.. 👍

[@theboysadventures9956]

“My opinion” it will help your enduro riding heaps spending more time on a mx track it really helps with your confidence to just hit something without overthinking it and will get you more comfortable going fast in tricky situations. It’s like the opposite to trials but it all works in together to progress you riding

[@theboysadventures9956]

Also getting a xc or a sx will go a long way in riding a mx track I come from a mx background and I can’t ride my exc so save myself on a mx track but my sx250 feels right at home. Even if you get something a little older to learn on iv had my sx since new in 2013

[@theboysadventures9956]

Another reply haha. Iv not been watching many of your videos lately as it’s fairly repetitive but I’d love to see you make progress in a different discipline so plz think about getting into the mx side of things more seriously 😊

[@ChonkyCorgi]

Love the videos man, just wondering where you mount your camera

[@oggster_1232]

first WOOOO

[@spyduck3751]

loved this video. im going to start riding as soon as i save up enough and im getting a 110 stomp for my first bike would you say this is a good bike for learning

[@MidWestMX]

@@spyduck3751 any bike is a good bike for learning. Good luck buddy. You got this 🔥

[@spyduck3751]

@@MidWestMX omgg you replied and thxssss idk if I’m going to be getting my bike soon I need to save up like 700 pound and that’s gonna take like 2ish years

[@KingofKhakis]

We ride so similarly. Scared of MX, bad in the ruts and just “good” enough to be dangerous 😆 You have two bikes, SHIP ONE TO THE STATES! Let’s ride!

[@MidWestMX]

Love that

[@teogyimesy9976]

do you ride with a chest mount or a chin mount i want to start recording my rides but am unsure on where to mount the gopro

[@MidWestMX]

A chin mount. There’s a link in the description of the video 🤟🏼

hey man just curious where you got your cover for your bar pad from as i have the 2024 bar pad and cover but it doesn't suit my sticker kit and cant find any replacements

[@MidWestMX]

This one came with the hard enduro version standard

[@lynneholman891]

Hey man where is the link to the training events they do?🙌

[@ICE329]

Nice! 👏

[@Jordan-bp3zu]

Mate where and how do you get to ride all the incredible places. How do you find these free roam huge expanses of land to play on legally?

[@airindiana]

I found this vid really useful. One of my many errors is I tend to have too much bend to my knees. Doesn’t help I’m tall. I wrote a list of things I needed to work at and realised it was all of it. I’m ok at starting the bike though! It’s interesting seeing your lack of confidence. I’m not at all confident but I see you doubting yourself at things I’d have a go at, yet you’re actually a very skilled rider with years of riding. When you ride enduro you properly fly at and up stuff I’d crawl at and you still can talk into a microphone with ease. It’s very psychological this stuff isn’t it. You run your skill level down too much. Guess it’s because you ride with some top level people a lot so your metric of where the bar for average is like is properly wonky.

[@Fitzy0245]

It does seem like your biggest problem with riding ruts is that you are looking directly in front of you and trying to "navigate" through the rut. That makes ruts waaayyy more difficult because you just can't react quick enough, no one can. In reality what you need to do is exactly what the trainer said, look further ahead because you really only need a general understanding of the way the rut looks/curves and if there are any hooks in it and you mostly just fee/react to what the bike does. Once you can get that to click in your head, break the bad habits, and get more comfortable you will slowly add speed naturally and it will get easier. Most importantly is to practice your form, good form = control and safety. It will also make you more comfortable and more smooth which will naturally make you faster. I suggest that when you ride/train to really stress and almost exaggerate good form, even when riding slowly through a field or in the pits to/from the truck until it becomes natural... or at least more natural because until the new form becomes habit you will almost always catch yourself doing it incorrectly.😁

[@trailmakers1717]

You should go to moto101 its a nice mx track and it got re-styled nit long ago or the black stag thats also a good one also beginner friendly as im not amazing myself i ride a black and purple bike number 08 if you see me

[@BlakeMuller-gd4ic]

Its funny you say "been watching to much American youtube" I've been watching your stuff for years and I always catch my self saying "oh mate" and my friends call me weird for it.🤣🤣

It’s crazy right

Some tips for motorcross in the corners get on the tank or as close as you can’t lean and give it gave and when you are in ruts flow with the rut dint fight it

[@sneepsnoop3149]

As close and you can lean and give it gas

[@TheRealCrashTestDummy]

I love the vids brother, but you've got to stop telling yourself you "suck". You lack confidence because you mentally tear yourself down...switch the mindset, focus on the fun and get out of your own head (I have to remind myself to do this also in more things than just riding and it works if you're consistent with it). I've seen a lot of your videos and you can tell when you've done exactly that because your riding is much improved and is reflecting your true skill level. Keep the vids coming! ✌️

[@stew8490]

Off topic but carb 2014 or 2019 tpi helpppp which is better

[@JordRides]

Have you ever tried steg pegz?

[@steves2241]

I love motocross, and the jumps are the best part, the speed and the jumps are what makes motocross fun, if you do not like that you should stay away from a motocross track.

How are you getting hd uploaded to KZbin?

[@OhioEnduro]

You have to record it at higher quality. If you are then it could be how you're uploading it. Or you've exported it to a lower quality. Most editing software gives you the option the choose from 480p-4k. It takes KZbin a while to process a new video to full HD as well.

[@Thebreadguy6]

Which bike is this one?

[@MidWestMX]

Ktm 300 exc

[@Neils.smith1996]

I don't understand why you keep going out on a 300 and not using its potential, you would get a lot more confidence on your 150 then build yourself up .

[@Tatra__cross]

well done

[@yukonadventurexc]

The jumps at your age is what's scary, I'm 33 been riding 4-5 years in the summer but jumps just scare me because the fear of injury. Missing work etc.

[@woodysrockspyro6436]

Hahahahha scared at 33.. we are funny creatures. The A guys in their 60s wax me and I'm 45..

[@yukonadventurexc]

@woodysrockspyro6436 they have also probably been riding since they were kids or teens and learned everything. When you learn to ride once have a family and kids to provide for you decide breaking bones and missing out on earnings isn't worth the risk. I also do believe Midwest works still, I may be wrong.

[@woodysrockspyro6436]

@@yukonadventurexc they have been... but I'm catching up. Takes a ton of riding.. I'm about 700hrs in on mine over the last 4 years. Fast B rider now and should move to A class next year.
