How mid-air adjustments work | Offroad Engineered

[@AntiStressKit]

Excellent video! Very well explained, meticulously edited and brilliantly presented. I am very happy I came across your channel 👍

[@StepstoPodium]

With such amazing subscribers it's hard not to give 110% in every video! 😀

[@AntiStressKit]

@@StepstoPodium What can I say? You have a fan who is anxiously waiting for your next video :-)

[@DeWolf1712]

wow SOO well explained. I`ve been doing this for many years, but havent understood exactly HOW it works, just that it WORKS you know. Haven`t thought much of it until recently. This video helped me imidietly understand :)

[@StepstoPodium]

Great to hear! :D Thank you for watching and don't forget to subscribe :)

I work in the space industry. We use the same physics to control the satellite. A handful of gyroscopes mounted on various axis’s keeps the satellite stable or can assist in different movements.

[@KastanDay]

Very clear. Thanks for the physics free-body diagram so I can verify your work from first principles (not just dirt-bike-bro talk).

[@StepstoPodium]

Glad I could help! 😄

[@K.J.G.26]

I'm a super mini dirt bike racer but it's more of an Enduro style and the last race has jumps so I'm glad I'm watching this

[@rigilroy]

I saw one video and I knew I have to subscribe to this channel, keep posting great content like this.

[@StepstoPodium]

Thank you so much! It means a lot hearing that 😀

[@danielshown2045]

From a ME this is good! Im on this vid of your playlist. The cameos from other DB KZbinrs made me chuckle.

[@danielshown2045]

Oh and I subscribed. Ive got a ton of new content that will hopefully head in your direction but for now just having a good time! Dude I would stoke if you would subscribe to my channel and give me some pointers

[@StepstoPodium]

What's ME and DB? 😅

[@danielshown2045]

@@StepstoPodium haha mechanical engineer and Dirt Bike my man!

[@laeneal62]

Very cool. I doubt I will be launching off a big jump in lifetime, but knowing this technique might save me if I accidentally launch oft the ridge of a hill. Be good.

[@AndrewBoundy]

Brilliant video - well explained. Great channel - thanks!

[@StepstoPodium]

thank you so much! I really appreciate it! 😀

[@marioalmeida4807]

Another great video. Excellent synthesis of technique and physics.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! 😀

Can you do this again as it pertains to scrubbing and whipping and how it is controlled by gyroscopic precession?

[@nunolarouco]

Olá. Estou a adorar os teus vídeos da série offroad engineering e a vê-los todos de uma vez :) Obrigado pelas explicações excelentes 💪😎

[@StepstoPodium]

Eheh fico contente Nuno! Obrigado!,😄🫡

[@murilocunha9940]

Esses vídeos são incríveis, sua didática é muito boa e os assuntos são muitos interessantes. Você consegue unir duas paixões, física e motocross, por favor não pare de postar!

[@StepstoPodium]

Muito obrigado Murilo! Continuarei sim, isso é certo! 😀

[@danoer]

Good job Luis! 💪🏻

[@StepstoPodium]

Thank you very much! 😊💪

[@filippoguzzabocca7411]

Nice video! Do you have any reference to look at to further study the physics behind? Thanks!!

[@StepstoPodium]

Hello Filippo! I did the math myself 😄 a masters degree helps in that aspect 🤓

[@filippoguzzabocca7411]

@@StepstoPodium Okay, thanks for the reply! Because I would approach this problem in a different way. I would use the conservation of angular momentum and the inertia of the vehicle and the rear wheel. Anyway, it is nice to see that you decided to show a different calculation!

[@cc00nneerr]

Beautiful explanation

[@StepstoPodium]

thank you! 😊

[@myridinglife7873]

Esperava um vídeo do PHES em Valongo 😉

[@StepstoPodium]

Também eu esperava poder 😅😂

[@therawlifefamily]

How do you measure fork preload once the forks are mounted? Shock sag is pretty straight forward to measure, but I don't see anything for forks.

[@StepstoPodium]

You mean the sag?

[@TheTheThewillow]

Funny thing is for beginner, you can tap the front brake in panic if you feel too far back.

[@patrickhickman8723]

bravo!!!!

[@DariusRotaru-er7vr]

So if I’m accelerating before a jump for speed, I can’t readjust mid air when my front end is going to low?

[@StepstoPodium]

Pretty much!

[@alfacross815]

Muito bom! Que venhammais destes

[@StepstoPodium]

Muito obrigado! 😊

[@StepstoPodium]

Muito obrigado! 😊

[@brianconroy5940]

Sorry, but the explanation of the physics is incorrect. Brake tapping is a result of the kinetic energy of the rear wheel being transferred in to a force couple acting at the brake caliper mount and rear axle. Given the bike is in the air this force couple is not transferred through to the ground and hence gives an angular momentum to the bike which causes the bike to rotate. The length of the swing arm has no influence and there is no cancelling of forces.

[@DirtyTaxman]

Totally agreed

[@solarshooter]

So does the same thing not happen if you brake tap the front wheel?

[@StepstoPodium]

Yes it does! But the front wheel is usually less heavy than the rear so you don't feel it as much

[@tiagocosta9898]

Does the Bike Brand matter?

[@StepstoPodium]

is it a serious question? 😅😂

[@tiagocosta9898]

Im Talking about overral , not mid air adjustements.

[@StepstoPodium]

@@tiagocosta9898 it matters about what?
