[@LocalGarage]

I totally agree with you. Ryan nailed this one

[@shenanigansofmannanan]

It's easy to nail the "one-take" when you're speaking from knowledge and presenting it instead of seasoning band plating bullshit and calling it a salad.... Rino wants everyone to get better.... For theiry're own edification... and for the sheer respect for the sport and the personal payoff any individual can receive from chasing excellence.... you may it be the fastest but you CAN ride faster and be more masterful in your passion

[@shenanigansofmannanan]

@@tylerkikkert6600 they dislike him because his mere existence makes them feel insecure.... And he's faster than them... And evidently from the Gypsy Tales podcast he practices Tantra... So ... Knowing that's the only instance in which They are faster than Ryan Hughes... That's probably why theiry're so Totes Jelly, Bro-chacho. They chugging that Hater-aid... Flavor "Envy Green"

[@pipflynn3]

Disagree.

[@abpob6052]

Absolutely. I'm 55 yrs old and outlast riders 20 yrs younger because I have tested and adjusted every part of my bike, gear, and body to be efficient and use as little energy as possible. There are always places on a track where most riders dread because it is an energy killer. If you can save energy everywhere else you can use bursts to blitz past other riders on the toughest parts of the track.

[@JoelSimbrow]

I want to ride with you!

[@prospectorsoils1240]

@@libertyfighter1 long time desert rider here. We like to call them “death marches”. I’m not riding some pussy 4-stroke either. CR500 is just right for me. Longer the ride the faster I get. Just like Ryno said you dance with the bike you don’t force it. There is a lot to be said about that. Lots of MX/SX guys miss out on that. When you are in the saddle for 100 miles + a day there is no forcing left. Learned from the best…..me.

Ryan, I can’t thank you enough for your awesome instruction. Found you last week watched everything I could find one whole day. Went out with my buddies and was another rider. Instinct, intuition and Initiation. Be the initiator!!!’ That one is PURE GOLD🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆. Top Level Pro’s POWER OUT. Unlocking the hips, hinging at the hips is a GAME CHANGER!! THANKS

[@RyanHughesMX]

Very welcome! #chargelife #iamryno

[@saraflores9601]

You are a legend. Thank you for your time Ryan.

[@jamesharpermx542]

this is the best technique video on the internet, I watch this all the time just as a reminder and to make sure I did not miss anything. I think about all of this every time I go to ride since seeing it. I started riding with my feet and it changed how much fun I have on the dirtbike. even changed the way I strap my bike down, instead of the bars I strap it in by the pegs. my 2nd favorite is the one about fear and preparing for what I want and not what I don't. still wearing my braces tho. :)

[@RyanHughesMX]

Wow, thanks! #chargelife

[@williamschuman4951]

Damn, I like what this man has to say, I like it a lot, glad I found this channel.

[@tonyd7164]

After watching several of your videos, I tried your recommendations on riding posture and body position on the bike. I have to say after 3 hours of fast single track up in the sierras, I did not once get arm pump like I usually do (my 450 kicks my old ass) On my toes and hips out, head forward really helped combat fatigue since I wasn't constantly pulling on the bars. Thank you for the tip!

[@Sanguine_Addiction]

Ryan Hughes was definitely one of my dirt bike heroes in the 90s. He definitely knows his stuff.

[@bryandavis9731]

Yo brother, Ryan, I’ve probably commented on this before, but I’m watching it again a year or so later and picking up more wisdom . I will probably watch this and a lot of your other videos regularly from time to time just to refresh and perfect well as close as I can get to it anyway my non-professional Extreme riding activities. Thank you, my friend.

[@RyanHughesMX]

Thank you for your continued support. I just shot a masterclass on technique. Its an online course and easy to access on your phone, you should look into it.

[@ant2400]

Stumbled onto your older Video. You are a fantastic teacher. In just a few minutes you uncovered not just my riding short woes, but also, how to fix my body from past injuries. I have been researching how to fix my bad back, my weak legs, and my busted pelvic. The many surgeries to repair me made me weak and stiff everywhere. All those body positions and how 'we move' with the bike and how we position ourselves for what is about to happen vs what just happened...... fixes my body. I have done hours on hours of strength training using your riding position principles into my riding and my workouts and what a difference it has made. Strengthening the muscles that are used to ride in the correct position has made my life less painful and more enjoyable. Thank You for making your videos.

[@jonathandeemer257]

Love the intensity and straight forward why Ryno explains things! Great stuff!

[@donaldpilon6735]

I'm so happy this came up in my feed. Ryan is one of my favorite riders of all time. If he says it I'm listening. Without a doubt the best riding advice you can get. Looks like Ryno also sells all sorts of nutritional supplements too. If he says it Do It!

[@rsl6767]

All 100%.. I struggled to listen to you when you started repeating yourself years ago.. and I'm glad you did. Corrected some bad habits in the 80's. 30 plus years later and I'm faster because of gurus like you👍. Appreciate it man

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Good point about repetition. From almost flunking HS to becoming the sharpest guy in college for engineering, (after 6 years of 8 years of part study while working full time),---------------------I owe it to "repetitive study". So I made up that phrase recently. :) It really is sad, because I have experience with what the brain does with exercise, (gets stronger too), that we all have this untapped potential right behind our eyes and between our ears.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

It is "thinking" that makes us human.

[@savagehill7523]

It’s crazy that while he is explaining it, it sounds like it should be common sense but riders don’t think about everything he’s saying, he taught me a few disciplines today....great video

[@bjs001001]

Thank you for sharing this with the world. As a martial artist I will agree with you 100% that everything starts at the feet. Our entire body balance comes from the interaction between the various muscles of the feet and toes. Great stuff here, again, thank you for sharing your wisdom.

@@RyanHughesMX Congratulations for the now, and future success of Austin Forkner. I can tell he is a new and improved man, and he lost 4 years of his racing career with out such great direction. What will the ignorant "haters" (I hate that word), think? Probably nothing. They think outside of reality more and more as they reject it more and more, (if the block of reality does not fit their perception of it.). Just like HS and college graduates today. Ryan man, I am probably 15 years older than you, and you were inspiring to me. Lots of heart, lots of thinking, lots of speed. Doug in Michigan

[@MaintDocs]

You do a great job explaining how _and why._ I'm gaining a lot from watching you, but also have to rewatch as it's taking my mind is taking time to learn each piece and ingrain it. As an adventure/dualsport rider, your stance videos dramatically improved my control and fatigue threshold. I feel much safer and more clear where my current skill limits are. Thanks for helping the riding community out.

[@RyanHughesMX]

Awesome, thank you!

[@motox103]

I am an old guy that loves your videos, Thanks Ryan! another thing that confirms the statement about low center of gravity design, up until about 1989 the front forks had the steel tubes in the triple clamps putting more weight high. I started racing in the 70's back then we used to cut off the foot pegs and weld them lower and further back. tricks learned from Hannah, Tripes, Smith. Bikes changed so much in the next modle year you couldn't compete on a year old bike. especialy around 1975 to 81, suspension travel went from 4" on a Suzuki TM in 1974 to 9" on a 1975 Suzki RM! Crazy!!! Then cylinder design was the focus for broader power curves. (They put fatter "Power Bands" in them Ha, Ha!) then water cooling in the early 80's Yamaha had their radiator behind the number plate! Suzuki was on the frame where they are now. Back 40 + years ago you could win or lose because of the bike choice you made!

[@Pompomgrenade]

Mr. Ryan Hughes, you're something else! Thanks for the pointers... Indeed, through years of head scratching: feet lead! It's in skateboarding and surfing then dirt bikes that I found power comes from your ankles where the strength of your feet is stored... Snowboarding proved it to be double true... Riding dirt bikes in my '50s. I have to be efficient to keep going, many of us have noticed your outstanding body English when riding (being one with the machine) and now it's not happenstance That explains it... Rather direct willful input, I can try to rely on. THANKS FOR LEADING BY EXAMPLE

[@rhmerkin]

This was great! Reminds me of watching tips on squat form by Mark Rippetoe.. a bunch of minor details that when implemented resulted in big gains. Thanks for posting this

[@buckwheat7424]

cool videos. 40+ yrs ago i was a happy desert racer, from this area, i had the biggest group of off road champions (desert,) with a mixture of very few of the top motorcross champions ever to be, to use as examples. i mean to tell you the history of that covered some time. so i was lucky, some of those greats spoke directly to me about it. some i only got to ride around them some or ride the courses they made all with a mile or two of my house. one feature i noticed on some of those champs were bars position. and most mx'rs run the bars even over the alignment of the forks and that bring their wrist twisted un naturally with an ability to rob endurance and leverage. to find the differences i went from both extremes of bars forward max and bars back max. the forward position quickly will wear on particular muscles in your forearms to the point of cramps and loosing attention on where i'm going. roll em back to over in line with the fork angle and the outside of the wrist' drop to a to a natural posture, not to be confused with a couch posture or relax mode, no, but gives you more leverage over the bars (which might be a controversial subject in the teaching of some,) but you can get back farther on the seat, laying flatter for higher speeds, and as flying in the air it put the pull towards the rear of center as well. so i adapted to lowering them all the way until it was obstructed in the turning circle by the tank and moved it up just over it. it worked for me quite well. it's not the weirdest thing i used to do. running 25lbs of air the front and 20 in the rear tires made for crazy bounces off big rocks but i rarely got flats. and i could pull higher gears up sandy inclines. slightly rough on certain corners too. the best advise is if you want to win, you gotta tell yourself that, over and over preparing for and during the races, only not i want to win, but, "i'm gonna win." and visual it.

Gary Bailey, (Yes, the step Father of David Bailey), really had some great stuff, as he thought the USA how to ride to win 13 MXofN's in a row. I have a newer bike now after 2 decades off, and i found out I can set it up like today's set up, or old school. Old school was better thinking, but Ryan has no problem thinking and teaching about riding either. I can't ride with my bars high like today, and I notice not very many amateurs have good corner speed today.
