Teaching A Difficult Student How To Jump! // Private Lesson With Coach Mitchell

[@roostfezza7563]

Shows you how hard it can be to break habits. Also once he became too tired, his brain turned off. This was good for us to see, it takes practice over and over, and important to rest as well!

I had a bad habbit too I was always on my clutch and I had to take it off because it got so bad

A good coach will be suited up ready to show people what they are supposed to do on the bike

[@TheLoopy989]

Bring Jackson to all classes so we can all pick on him.

Bring it

Appreciate all the advice Coach Mitchell!! Still need land harder on the throttle. Dang the YZ sounds good!

Poor Jackson got used 😂😂..Actually good stuff and advice Coach...love this stuff . 😁👍

I found Mitchell’s coaching style abrasive and demoralizing. At least AJ just hit me with a stick.

[@mxslick50]

LOL you haven't worked with two of the old school pros who helped me out in the 90's.....one of whom turned into a little Hitler when "coaching" me. One session I had to do laps non stop...I tapped out at 42 (by lap 17 I was slow, by the end barely at a walking pace.) And no, I won't reveal who it was on a public comment section.

[@mxslick50]

@@actionjackson8549 It took a while to find out, but the deal was that rider felt I was only riding at 70% of my ability and he was trying to make me use 100%. The motive was noble but the method was sadistic.

Call HR Hannah asap

[@parcadv419]

t There's so much to learn. letting a clutch out and gassing a bike isn't operating it. I'm in trouble. thanks for the safety lessons. your actually helping me not to think I'm any good at this which keeps me from riding out of my skill set. i will practice on my bike . thanks

[@charlesdavidson7324]

There’s a wicked wind 😂. If Jackson would listen then he would learn.

[@christiaangelauff6861]

Jackson I feel for you...I guess I make the same mistakes, still doing Ronny Macs and figuring out how it should go correct. Can we describe how it should feel when done correctly?

[@jufabworkscustomtractoracc6102]

Did you check the rebound on his shock? If the rebound is way too slow that will happen. He could be adjusting his style because he is fighting the bike. Maybe speed up the rebound in the rear shock and get the bike to naturally level out more in the air.

[@nch-wf3tu]

Serious question…. Coming into jump 1, - over the roller- with any speed you land in the face of it… should we plow through the jump face or roll the roller into jump 1?

[@ballou1777]

Good job 333

[@AjCatanzaro]

Where’s HR Hannah when you need her?!

[@TheLoopy989]

Idea for classes coming up. New Tee shirt that says “Am I better than Jackson?” With two check boxes after yes or no where AJ or another coach signs the shirt. Or a jersey that’s says “Jackson”the worst leaner has to wear for the class as punishment for stubbornness

[@actionjackson8549]

You're making me want to take away Minnesota SX again...

[@mykl0001]

Is Jackson purposely annoying you or is he that stubborn?😂

[@actionjackson8549]

Yes.

[@dill_jle]

I think he’s just acting off of instinct when you get into a habit that you feel like works it’s kinda scary to change that

I was seriously trying to figure out if this was a skit or if acting like toddlers was normal for these guys?

[@colinsutton7944]

I think you need 2 cameras. One to film for youtube and one you use to show clips to students to show them (rather than tell them what) they are doing wrong. I know when my brother takes videos of me it helps to go back an watch that way I can see what my adjustments look like.

[@motoxktm177]

Come to Hawaii!

[@herbrachel3663]

My technique must be good. I landfront end down every time. I can't even brake tap,so that'll never be a problem.

[@dirtbikerplay11]

I’d do a private lesson with AJ but I can’t afford it sadly, I’d definitely do better in a private lesson day because of my autism and I won’t have 100 other riders there watching me too sometimes

[@jerrodriley4290]

Knees forward looks really really bad.. i do the same thing but feel like i dont.. my front end wont float tho. Im on a suzuki and if my knees and body come forward it will pitch down like i want it to so it feels like im doing things correctly. I think the difference is suspension set up, though both of us are wrong for doing it bc it looks bad and looks weak and uncontrolled. In reality it probably doesnt matter and only really matters if you can clear the jump and get your pitch right but oh my does that knees forward look soooooo bad 😮

[@Joe-pb3lx]

Jackson needs to get in the attack position with body low with his head over the bars before he is in the air, he did it once, and didnt brake tap

[@CraigSteinman-zt3vu]

Jacksons a slow learner..lmao

[@batesk8]

that would prolly be me but somehow wot and loop out ahahah

[@christophervillarreal8565]

I’m almost 200lbs and on my 125 I can overshoot that jump in 3rd shift to 4th in mid air and never once have to break tap 😂

[@timshanks6729]

You have to listen to the professional motocross instructor's. I know that I am not very good.

[@harrynoakes]

He's in the wrong gear, he's starting to hit powerband at he hits take off, get him down a gear, idk how that's been missed, thats the main thing he's doing wrong here

[@themotoacademyYT]

A gear lower would've made the bike even more reactive. Unsettling the chassis before the braking bumps.

[@harrynoakes]

@@themotoacademyYT sure but shift up in the air, inbetween those two jumps and before it he was in the wrong gear, personally I'd go a gear down and harder on the gas, shift in the air over the first or second, he's nearly bogging every time (either a. because he's in the wrong gear OR B. because he's not on the gas hard enough) and no one picked up on that, he's not getting over the second jump properly because he's not on the gas hard and/or in the wrong gear.

[@harrynoakes]

To add, 4:18 is the best example of this, you can hear the bike bogging when he lands the first one, either a. have it wide open, b. change down a gear, then in the air over the next one, just shift up if you want to be up a gear before the bumps.

[@ballsyyyy]

@@themotoacademyYT where the fuck are the braking bumps.

[@tshred313]

Brake taps are 1000% pointless

[@charliegossett1214]

Not the best coaching sample. Coach blaming the student that he is stubborn or slow to learn but you didn’t seem to isolate exactly what he was doing wrong until maybe the last edit where you say he’s driving his knees forward causing the front tire to come up. But you didn’t show if that corrected the problem.

[@Trav945]

I'm pretty sure they are coworkers

[@coltonbrady8389]

I can tell you having been to his class, Mitchell is a great coach! What you’re seeing is two friends/coworkers giving each other a hard time
