motocross riding tips rutted turns

tips on riding faster through rutted turns

[@phxxr650r]

Im in my 50s and just got back into racing after wife asked me to stop when a friend of ours Danny Hammel crashed in baja. Well She's gone now and im racing again. Thanks for the tips they really helped me get back out there and have fun again.

[@HondaCr80Jordan]

im 13 years old i have a 1988 honda cr 80 and this video has helped me alot thanks :)

[@djhashis300]

very nice and simple.. I was watching the video mainly for proper braking and weight placement.. and all my questions were answered.. thanks guys!

[@21NSapper]

Excellent instruction. Everything I'd been telling my son but he doesn't listen. Hopefully he'll listen to you.

[@FromHeavenToYou96]

I am 14 years old and im a girl. Ive been riding motocross for about a year and a half now. Me and my lil bro ride around on my property all the time and we have jumps made up the back for us. It reallly is fun and if you're thinking about doing it, I highly reccomened it. Im sure alot of people can agree with me, it's awsome fun, and it feels like for once you're in control of something. (:

[@drumerboy4162]

this helped me out so much today at lazy river mx it helped me get through turns so much faster and on down the track won both motos thanks for you tips hopefully i will do good in the llq in may thanks for everything

[@mbkx250]

stand up until the rut turns your front tire and nut sack to gas cap,,just some simple tips that our easy to remember that have helped me out alot

[@melycan]

Really great tips, helped me aswell, had so much problem with the turn part, but now it works really well

[@rallyspeed]

Thanks for the tip, was well conveyed (pause for image, speaking slowly, and explaining clearly) it'll work with some trails I ride on my 450x. I'm fairly new to serious dirt bikes.

[@MotoManRacer23]

This has helped soo much it was the difference between 4th and 2nf for me thanks alot

[@7025730168]

Using the front brake is not always good cause if your front brake is touchie like mine u will go over the bars but then again I have disc brakes but if u have drum brakes this is really good this is a very good video guys thank u for informing the dirt bike community.

[@GHOSTRIDERNOMAD]

I tried some of these tips , the most helpful was the looking forward to the next obstacal to give you time to set up . That seemed to work well. I'm a 48 y/o rider and the person who left the lol I would just love to take them on with my old 1971 SL 125 rather than my 2005 crf230 just to give them a chance !

[@charlie62516]

been building own track other the last few weeks. put a rutted corner in and thanks too your video can keep my speed up on my kx205f 09 thanks

[@bostonnewsphotog]

Great quality and easy to follow tips, thanks so much

[@fastinpast]

4 things.... time the standing to sitting better, lead with you foot near front axle, drag front brake with consistent throttle thru turn until skillful at it. Outside foot peg weighting is everything and commit.

[@fastinpast]

The video points all you need to know. It's a skill and technique that takes work to develop. Reminded me of the proper way to rail, stay smooth - look forward is key. Been out injured. Thanks

[@nobbies2009]

14 is definitely not to late to start. It's all about the fun. The only thing I didn't hear them cover is to keep you head foward (able to see the front plate) and to slide back on the seat when exiting the turn to gain more traction.

[@Schlaps]

I have two little edits to what was said.. Engine braking. Can't do it on a two stroke. Rolling on the throttle. Not as easy with a two stroke. They are more snap and you're going than four strokes. But this is a very informative video overall, that's for sure. I'll have to try this out a little next time I'm at a track.

[@MaGicMik3z]

genrally when you know the basics the little things like shifting your weight and pressure on the outside peg comes naturally just like countersteering a road bike round a turn. i find its about everything you do before the corner so scrubbing the right amount of speed off also the stability of the bike and right gear and body position so when you enter the turn you have confidence and the time to do everything correctly. this is the way i approach riding on and off road. :) ride safe

[@lErssikeke]

1:10 Ronnie Mac spotted doing "air wheelies"... (top-left corner)

[@greyhoundtraininganddirtbi6222]

Lol

[@benjcoen]

Great video. Helped me out a bunch. Thanks!

[@motocrosser49]

hey ya i knew all this stuff but i learned a couple things new from this so yea it helped...but i was taught never to use the clutch...if ur bike is in good shape u shuld never bog down

[@nateisthename7]

i really wish i would have seen this video earlier. it would have saved me alot of falls in the past. but i've figured that out now. haha

[@willbishmotocross]

thanks this helped me a lot because i just got on to a crf 150 4-stroke :)

[@GORACKO]

[@093840]

Thanks for the tips the helped alot

[@zachinapex]

nice vid helped out a lot thanks

[@djn00nan]

dont do mx just trails but the seat position thing definately helped, thanks

[@r0lexify]

@HKrider218 On a two stroker you have to take the turn wider and give it more torque

[@apeunit121]

he never said about sitting more closer to the gas tank it gives u more balance while turning but whatever feels more comfortable and u get the most speed i like to hit the back break and slide into my rut while going into a turn cuse ur on the gas longer, right as i hit the rut or turn i hit it and come out of it very fast it might not be smooth but it is very fast

[@marctaylor6765]

Spot on thanx for your FREE help :)

[@COWM4N197]

Cheers guys, I will keep this in mind.. Got motocross this Sunday! :D

[@r0lexify]

@trucks911indahouse Well, maybe with an exhaust and stuff. But when you are riding a 2-stroker you need to to make it wider and give more gas than you do with and 4-stroker.

[@sam1998mx]

heyy this looks good i will try this next time i ride thx a lot and i will comment after i try to =)

[@thomaswilliams1963]

I recently spent the day at a track with an ex pro working on rutted corners...and this video is nearly useless. There is nothing 'wrong' in it..but it only tells you about 1/10th of the various techniques to rail ruts. Body position while braking. How to start the turn BEFORE you sit down. When you get off the front brake. How far your carry the rear brake. How RH and LH turns are a LOT different. How to correct lean early in the turn. How to correct lean LATE in the turn...etc...

[@kymanches]

@2010W427 apply the front Marie and try not to lock it up. If u lock up the brake you will wash out the tire. Be gradual

[@OMGitsDANJA]

I sooooo agree with you miss!

[@505197]

I break corners up into three pieces, going in, going around, and coming out. Mess up the first part the rest is lost too. Going in is under braking, the middle is usually a steady state maintain top speed possible, then coming out and dialing up the power and gettin it hooked. If not for corners why race?

[@Quiroga420]

haha love internet badasses like you..i wish i cld b as cool as you one day haha

[@McRip45]

it really helped me alot

[@tredink]

tihs video helped alto on my turns , every time turn i sue to slide, but i can turn better casue of this video

[@BeastyJake97]

Great job!

[@Isaac_416]

@r0lexify Maybe on a 1960's 2T but i ride a 2010 KTm 150sx and i think you'll find that all the 2T bikes these days are alot more like the 4 bangers and heeps smoother.

[@shemar411143]

this really helped me .

[@200219249]

dude nice it realy help thanks

[@Benadamsevo]

[@671hondacrf250r]

you dont have to get the leatte brace. ya it ads a lot of safety to the sport but if you are just beginning you wont be going fast enough to really need one

[@adamgray7456]

[@Sebs65432]

[@LAXman1496]

Whats up with all of these dudes hitting on girls on youtube. Get a fucking life and go to the track. Theres plenty of girls at the track I ride at. But to get back on topic, this was a pretty helpful video but it was nothing I didn't already know. But thanks guys keep the sport alive!

[@DoctorDirtRocket]

[@OMGitsDANJA]

Thank you for the video(: Im also 14 year old chick and im getting ready for my first race coming up soon and my older brother always warned me about turns like this. we got a track in the back but its always different when your with 25 other people at the gate. But i so agree with FromHeaventoYou96. Get into motorcross if you can ive been doing it for 10 years and i love every bit of it. Plus if your a chick guys find it attractive which aint always the worst thing lol(:

[@MrJakediesel]

@KawasakiRacerAlways ok, thanks bro ill give it a try
