[@andrewshaw2841]

Having watched a ton of MX riding technique videos, I consider yours the best. I'm 56yrs old, just started to get back into the sport after 30yrs. These vids have inspired me and motivated me. Committed viewer .. Thankyou..

[@AjCatanzaro]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy them!

Amaizing tips A.J. and very helpful. My buddies and I follow you from Croatia 🇭🇷

[@JC-ck4wk]

See they way I learned was I didn’t try to learn lol it just happened over the years as I got more experienced and naturally I started to scrub in result of getting faster

[@AjCatanzaro]

Same for me

[@williamgalloway4798]

That's how I leant as well, just through natural progression.

[@elliotstewart6424]

Just got my first dirt bike and watching your content/videos is helping me a lot, instead of going off of nothing and learning the hard way.

Do it. Where else do you have access to ask a professional racer questions for $2 a month!

[@curt248]

Not sure where, but if there was a course in Indiana for supercross time, id be there

[@destrycook24]

Wish I could go to the canyon Mx class but I just got my first motocross bike, before that I’ve only had trail bikes and I haven’t even been to the track, so I don’t think I’m comfortable going to a class

[@keithtarrier4558]

Cool. Just what I needed.

[@jorgeguerrero4353]

I am still a bit confused in how to scrub, I understand that u need to push the wheel to the ground, i guess. At least that wAt I understood...I guess my question is...WHAT IS THE BODY MOVEMENT TO SUCK UP THE JUMP?

[@AjCatanzaro]

If you don’t comprehend that, you really aren’t ready to be “scrubbing” just yet. The body movement to soak up the jump vertically needs to be fully understood first. It’s like pumping a bicycle through a pump track, standing vertically on the transition of the face, and allowing the bike to come all the way to you when cresting the takeoff

[@ballou1777]

😤 I wish I was there. I would have jumped it because everybody else was. And the jump face was perfect.

[@AjCatanzaro]

Just about the best I’ve ever seen the face!

[@HyLifeSociety]

Dude you where in AZ and I missed it 😖

[@krulleman]

Nice 👍🏻 job proper training 💪🏻

[@coolbeans845]

I learned scrubbing by watching your video on scrubbing but for the most part it just naturally came as I got faster...... just flick the bike over on the lip and there is your scrub

[@AjCatanzaro]

Yep, it’s nice to understand how to do it, but a true scrub will only start to happen as you get faster and more aggressive

[@coolbeans845]

@@AjCatanzaro that’s true because now days since the competition just gets stiffer every year you have no choice but to learn how to scrub

[@ramseydbk1494]

i started doing this horizontally on my first time at the track, i learned so fast because of body position and being comfortable because of it

[@cailynrogers2694]

okay colton & synjin😳😳

[@harrisonhenry1929]

The secret tho that ppl don't know is how to get the bike low, the trick is you have to counter steer to get the bike low, so basically if you want to lean the bike to the right you have to steer the bike to the left.😁😉

[@doo101ful]

Love the videos AJ I have a question I'm just getting into riding mx tracks but I feel like I'm to big any pointers for heavy guys like myself any advice would be highly appreciated

[@x219_shooter8]

The funny thing is Deegan hit it on his 85 on the track

[@AjCatanzaro]

Yep, he has power/weight ratio of a 450 on that bike. He should be able to clear anything

[@damoncatlin734]

That one kid that hit the 100ft and cased it then just LIMITER

[@Garage_859]

So like behind the ears and such? Not sure how or where to scrub

[@AjCatanzaro]

Everywhere

[@anoxzia1]

3:59 gave me mad bmx vibes

[@Herrera304]

Ima Try this on all the tables I’m nowhere close to clearing

[@tyllerhicksmx2016]

That jump looks so fun. I’d love to hit it

[@dnickens20115]

Awesome!

[@crispycaleb4463]

wished i would win maybe next time

[@landonroyal40]

Sick

[@andrey0770]

I understood how to work with your knees and heaps while scrubbing but would you please say a couple of words on how to work eith the steering? What is the timing and the actually the goal of it?

[@AjCatanzaro]

Believe it or not, there isn’t a ton going on with the bars when you’re scrubbing. Your arms allow the bike to snap under you, but you shouldn’t be doing anything extreme with the bars

[@walterhewins6838]

Do you have plans to come back to Parker Mx in New York State anytime next year?

[@RoosterHarris]

Nice so when they jump most of the guys are experienced enough to brake tap before doing this.

[@sleiger8855]

poor guy got pressure on him xD

How much money is your class and where is the track you teach at?

[@andyb3735]

The heck with this covid. I would have made it down to states just for a lesson. Hope in 2021.

[@dylanamidon3752]

I'm 17 and at a track near my house there is a 150ft table it throws guys about 50 ft in the air and it's a steep take off to steep landing. I wanted to try it but I didn't because I had no idea the speed and it looked pretty high risk do to the fact how vertical the landing was. I'm a relatively new rider but I have my own little personal track in my side yard and have machines to make obstacles and features that will help me get better so I have learned a lot. I think I would do fine if I cased it because I built a good sized jump steep to steep and feel fine when I did come up short but the 150ft is steeper and a little scarier. I was just wondering what tips you might have to hit this big jump. I have been on the bike about a year but I've really pushed the technical aspects of riding it and have gain a lot of speed and confidence. I'm ready to move to the b class if I could hit that jump and other jumps like it. I would be very grateful for any advice on how to do that, also love what you are doing with the channel me and my friend watch it all the time. Thank you for your time and reading this.

[@AjCatanzaro]

If you have a video of the jump, you can email to [e-mail] and I’ll give you some advice

[@hiitsme7207]

Yoooo

[@itsthrasher8552]

hey as im watching this video watching you do it and then watching them do to. is it better to take a little bit more air time to have bot wheel hit the ground or better to only get a back tier down a little bit early

[@AjCatanzaro]

When demonstrating I did a pass or two where I scrubbed, then landed in a wheelie across the top of the jump, then scrubbed out of the wheelie. Which is a very technical thing to do. I would suggest getting both wheels back on the ground

[@andrey0770]

This is one of the awesome kind of jumps. While jumping it you are facing the cognitive dissonance because on a regular tabletop your brain expects the height decrease by the end of the jump and here contraversary You see the increasing gap under your feet and only after it You land)

[@rossifyson2315]

i’m scared to clear jumps and i’ve been riding since i was 4 and i’m 14 now any tips?

[@take5th]

What about learning this on a drz400? Maybe +100 lbs over your bike.

[@Dirtbiker4541]

Don’t 😂 keep that tank upright

[@take5th]

Yeah, I hear you. But at least this teaches to learn without catching any air! Can’t beat that...when I do catch air and swap out I won’t be too far off the ground.

[@AjCatanzaro]

It would be good skill to learn because the goal on that bike is to keep it grounded!

[@bil5479]

Don’t try to go overly fast on a drz, I learnt the hard way, twice , especially if the springs aren’t matching ur weight
