[@MothersNuggets2]

The intro song is called gourges nightmare by escape the fate

[@KimYoongie]

What's the song called in the intro? :)

[@airsoftrules987]

should i lean forward and ease on the throttle or just gun it?

[@edmorrow7621]

The whoops at our local track are deeper and closer together,,, very tricky for me.

[@moto6153]

Ed Morrow Try and get on top of them and keep your front wheel as light as possible. My old man always told me to treat wide open whoops sections like a pogo stick, all your work needs to be done with your legs and keep that front end light by staying on the back of the bike. Practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

[@TomvdHeuvel]

What if the whoops are much closer together and there much deeper?

[@819jt]

Hondapiloot If they're deeper and closer together, you will focus on getting your front wheel to skip from one to the next. Do not let the wheel touch the lowest part. If you're getting the front wheel to only touch near the tops of the faces of the whoops, you will find a magic "frequency" that will get the bike to skip across. When given a choice, use a higher gear.

[@natebennett6504]

song is Darude- sandstorm

[@dylanhiatt8411]

+nate bennett no its not

[@Weldoncl99]

What's the song at the beginning

[@wolfie239w]

Usually pinning it straightens the bike out when it starts swappin back and forth haha

[@brendanmackenzie6266]

why do you have to use the clutch?

[@airsoftrules987]

hey guys i need some help with a fast take off. What always happens to me is the front tire comes way up and i start fishtailing

[@hurstshiftin9873]

get up on the tank and offset your weight slightly to one side laying over bars almost pin it all out

[@KimYoongie]

[@damondonahoe9614]

Sometimes if you're going side ways and your about to crash grab a hand full of throttle it can save your ass.

[@damondonahoe9614]

[@2fingerproductions]

Check out my sand whoop crash….

[@Spenagin510]

lol "If you swap too bad then you are screwed GOOD LUCK!"

[@jimbrap3582]

Can't see any sand here just dried out dirt, "Dirt rollers" is the correct title. Go check a european track, this kind of woops are the smoother part of the track.

[@Jake.Rose.]
