Top 5 Jumping Mistakes on a Dirt Bike - Most Common Problems & Solutions!!

[@fishandgamefordinner5970]

I had been riding for three years, and finally got a real track bike. Having had a trail bike before, i had never taken it to a track, and so i was not sure how to ride. But you guys solved that for me, and I went for a full day and hit all the jumps, and because of your tips, I landed all of them. Thank you and keep it up!

[@lessshgooo6949]

Great job 🤙🏾

[@ellisberry8747]

Just got my first ever dirt bike about 2 hours ago-feel like this might come in handy

[@TheMxFactory]

We agree, enjoy your new machine!!

[@jbraz8]

Best decision you ever made have fun buddy

[@ellisberry8747]

Jamie Brasnyo thanks man I already know it's the best decision I ever made and I've not even finished building it yet 😂

[@mxer4life]

Just remember. Never ride above you ability, never do something half assed, and ALWAYS have fun. Good luck and stay safe out there!

[@ellisberry8747]

The Race Net as a great man once said "maximum effort"

[@albertptran]

Thank you for showing effect of landing with/without throttle

[@tiirrumibul7358]

This advice for new riders like myself that just started jumping do not rush go at your own pace not somebody's else's pace that's how you get hurt and don't rush your friends let them do there pace

[@dirtniron]

thanks for the video guys, very useful tips! Tyler is really good in reading his face ;)

[@akathecanadian]

Dirt N Iron well well well look who we have here :D

[@dirtniron]

Dirt N Iron good luck man hope u enjoy

[@topgmotiv8tion]

I’m 36 and just fell in love with this sport. Bought myself a crf 450 and I’m killing it after just 1 month, your channel helped a lot thanks man 🙏

[@michail1963]

offroad much better...motocross jumps are still quite dangerous...even pros get wrecked once in a while

[@jacksonwheeler4731]

but ronnie mac leans back like all the damn way and he’s still the best in the world, can you explain?

[@TheMxFactory]

Puuuuuurrreeeee talent

[@karterjones6782]

Uncle Ronnie 69

[@fedthegoon]

Its bc he has a screamin eagle

[@ralfo9113]

Haha

[@catmanflorida8545]

Ronnie Mac is the text book example, of the exception to the rules.

I have been hitting the jumps better lately and mostly thanks to the jump technique video. I did lot of the mistakes mentioned in this video, actually all of them, but then I remembered some of the tips and have been gradually getting better, getting smoother with the gas and even being able to react if i am a little off in the jump. These are good videos for people like me, who don't have that one guy in the riding group, who teaching everything :D

[@TheMxFactory]

Nice, keep at it!

[@jacemiller2593]

I love your videos. I also love the dry goofy humor. I’m glad you come off very personable and friendly.

[@joshjameskiwibushman]

what a cracking series of videos, just getting into dirt bikes with my 3 boys - so this is all gold

[@TheMxFactory]

Awesome! Thanks for watching! Be sure to let us know if there's anything that would help all of you or if you have any questions, we can make some videos that can help you more :)

[@designertjp]

Fantastic Jump Tips My Man!! The biggest "take-away tip" here, for me was to get a firm grip on the sides of my bike with my thighs right before *Lift* *Off!*

[@endurogirl1304]

This helps so much. I am trying to learn how, and my dad does not have time to show me, so this helps a lot. thx!

[@robertkeese6476]

I have not rode in over 20 years but I'm about to start again and all these videos are helping alot.

[@rogergrant455]

Enjoyed the video???? This is great stuff, guy! So short yet so informative, thanks Tyler!!!!

[@PatrickMoto97]

When I was on superminis at Dade City I was watching you and Mike Picone, Michael Clarke battle. Those were good times.

[@chrisgraf1304]

Awesome mate! Again, something I really needed to watch ✊🏼

[@monton5440]

best videos on youtube for jumping and it is free!!!! subscribed already!

[@KTM_Oujous]

100% appreciate this video. Answers my question why my launch had way too much lift in the front wheel in the first minutes. I'll have to work on my throttle control. Got a good clip of me eating it though 🤣

[@JamesBond-py8xs]

Wow! This is such a great video and I wish I knew this stuff when I rode a lot years ago. I used to have that first problem and probably a little of all of these. Maybe that's why I never jumped much or that big. Another problem I had was not being able to tabletop to the right at all. I'd be screwed if the bike ever went to the right in the air. Also could never hit the rear break to bring the front down if I went back too far. It always looked to me like that was a problem with Evil Knievil had with most of his jumps. I never really thought about the mechanics of jumping this way though, and and not having this clear understanding of it made for this fear of bigger jumps that I never thought I could do because they were scary. I was always pretty amazed seeing some guys hit big stuff, but now I see the approach and everything applies to smaller jumps the same way as the bigger jumps. I'm pretty much over with those days anyway now, and kept my Enduro.

[@MontclairWrestler112]

You just made a dirt bike for dummies and I’m the biggest dummie thank you lol

[@CharlesCarabott]

I'm a bigger dummy then you since I have just bought a dirt bike and don't even know how to ride it. I'm just learning how to sit on it and use the clutch and gas. I have MUCH to learn

[@CharlesCarabott]

@Twix if there's one thing I've learned it's no matter how dumb you are there's always someone dummer then you

[@gmx0413]

@@CharlesCarabott yeah, I hope you learn fast, once you learn to ride learn to maintain it as well as possible, also learn the ins and outside of your bike. What bike did you buy?

[@thetommantom]

Great angles for "studying" sometimes it's nice to see how other people do things to try to understand them.

[@Bemywitnesses]

ok from the start i can see you know what your doing ,, thank you for having the skill to show what is wrong and right ,, i think you know what i mean ,, and that is what is realy helping ,, to see you going it wrong and right wow thankyou so much

[@dextruax4903]

Removed any chance of progeny with a massive case, but I had a lot of fun at the track!

[@UncleBubby85]

Thanks for the free lesson. I have had many scary landings. Definitely worth taking lessons when u first start ridding

[@rexstonbull250]

every thing you say is spot on ive made all those mistakes when i started .

[@HowardSail]

All your advises are very interesting and useful, but in some way it's kind of common sense when you are on the bike i mean, it's natural but it's very cool to you to list all of this mistakes thanks !

[@warmpankake962]

Finnally a 2 stroke😁👍👍

[@0Grinch]

Should do one about jumping in windy conditions

[@JonathanFC229]

0Grinch for sure! He talks about it some in his whip/scrub video

[@robsonenduro3316]

just put a sail on the bike and you good.

Wow, no bullsh*t riding truth... Thanks brother!

[@bradpeters5911]

Great videos! I appreciate all the tips as I’m playing moto coach to an 11yr old girl, and I have very little knowledge in this sport. We’ve taken a couple lessons, but she loves watching KZbin and trying what she watched. Keep it up!

[@TheMxFactory]

Great to hear, thanks for the comment and watching our videos!

[@StesmH]

fantastic job my ride has improved a lot by following your videos especially in the rut that were my weak point. thank you guys Please, it would be nice a video on how to do when the bike kick in a side during the jump and also the correct use of the rear brake in air.

[@solostuntsss8909]

I'm riding a Yz250f and i can't wait to race :D

[@runninwithriver3537]

hey mx factory! i have a huge request and i don’t believe you guys have covered this yet, but i would love to see a video on break tapping! tips on it and more on how to do it, and be consistent with it

[@TheMxFactory]

We are going to make a video soon brake tapping. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@GPM116]

Very professional. Excellent vid and instruction.

[@troyc333]

Exactly! Just do it like Tyler does it and you will jump like a pro.

[@jazmineraburn856]

This helped so much!

[@juliaolausson5168]

This is some really good tips, brother!

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

I wanna thank those guys who played the stunt doubles for all the crashes of the way not too do it,really it hurts to watch,ah but I know it hurt youse guys more,so thanks a ton.I saw the picture on the top of your post,and I had to check it out because that was me and most of my race buddies,all doin that boat anchor body movement,which just kill your distance mostly,and on a table top it don't make u pay but on race day when there is a real double and you don't know how to handle coming up short,I won't tell u how,a let these guys tell u,but there is a technique pros use when they come up short,but back to me and my race buddies,u real need to flow wit da bike and the big thing is not move back because that is where the bike is gonna move u naturally and if your back you can't control throttle,I learn this the hard way ,on 250 two stroke,oh yeah I jumped like 70 feet,oh I'm sorry my bike jumped 70ish,yeah I wasn't on it,but I did push the bars away and kept it flying perfect,ah perfect without me on board,well after I bounce back up off the ground,there is my photogragher buddy so I give him a thumbs up,and he just clicking away with his Nikon motor drive lock on my bike seven beautiful shots I got,none of me with my thumb up,all of them of my perfect style,of my bike as it flew perfect landed perfect,without me,my friends all given me carp how great I am jumping better then them even when I'm not on my CR 250,so I set off on a quest to learn to jump,and after studying Jeremy McGrath body position there is a lot of little things that u can only pick up on super slow motion,even stop frame by frame,what made me single our Mac was he looks so smooth and relaxed and effortless,and riding motocross is anything but effortless,it awsum to see someone who rides awsum,helping you Jack in the boxes out,you don't want to be a Jack in the box,it ain't pretty,terrible thing when I started hanging around the pro races,nobody was really good at jumping,except Mac,Emig was exceptional there was many that real had the body movement down,RJ,Bailey John O,Lechine,Ron was one that when I saw him live for the first time I could believe anyone could ride MX and their body not move at all because they were so perfect moving on the bike it was freaky,Emig is that way too...piece out don't be a Jack in the box,today s bike have better suspension.but you still have to work with it,pay attention...

[@porterjung1014]

I’m really glad I saw these videos before I started jumping

[@chipper442]

Excellent tips.

[@dagsterblaster4973]

Nice production work on this video!

[@terrysuiter2674]

[@kaduconrado1007]

Awesome tips. Tks man!

[@solidbrickwork]

Should I be pulling up on the handle bars as jumping. And should I be kind of bouncing my legs with the suspension off the face of the jump ?

[@Stryster11]

Y’all are so helpful

[@medveds1]

Wow, thanks heaps man. Left riding mx about 20 year ago and at the time was getting tuition from a Suzuki pro rider mate. Got cornering pretty much down pattern and was just starting to learn jumping, then we parted company and riding. Now few years ago took it back up and back to learning jumps, just what I needed to know. Question, when I hit jumps that land on a step up I can hit it real hard and land great, but, most table tops have me running to the chook pen, why?. PS I ride a YZ250 '07 big bore.

[@brucefile7430]

Very informative! What videos of yours describe jumping techniques where tapping the rear brake is needed?

[@shooter7a]

3:54...the reason being on the gas helps is dirt bike geometry has anti-squat. When you are on the throttle, the chain tension actually causes the rear swing arm to act like the spring and shock are stiffer.

[@malcolmpearson6304]

I have over jumped on steep walls jumps landed in the flat. I hit so hard, that I got a secondary bounce that nearly pitched me over the front.several times...Is this human error #1 or a suspension tweek issue #2 ?

[@samio5454]

Both probably, if your landing flat it’s better to land on the back wheel

[@jbraz8]

This was awesome, very informative video! Good job you guys, thank you for the content! ☆☆☆☆☆

[@TheMxFactory]

Oooo 5 stars! We’ll take that 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for the vid helps a lot please more vids on the 2 stroke please!!!! love those bikes

[@TheMxFactory]

Yeah you’ll be seeing more on 2 strokes in the future because we love those bikes as well 😎

[@kenspearacy6294]

Your videos are Awesome

[@Fatonzzz]

Tyler, MX Factory has bar none the most useful tutorials on KZbin. Would it be possible to make a video on side to side bike control in the air? For example correcting for when your bike kicks sideways off a face or when it’s being pushed by a cross wind? It seems like there are a gazillion videos on controlling fore and aft bike pitch, but very little on side to side correction.

[@markvalente480]

Great tips guys. Wish I saw this before I broke my collarbone on my bike.

[@TheMxFactory]

Sorry to hear about that, hope this helps for next time!

[@2strokemadness336]

i have a kx 85 and i was wondering if i should jump in power band or shift right before i hit the the jump?

[@braydennienhuser5546]

2 stroke madness shift

Just cant help but like THAT GUY...👍

[@lilpeeper5682]

I love mx

[@raylind7060]

good video!

[@peyton6493]

The MX Factory nope i love kickers.im always prepared for them and its fun they send you extra high

[@fabjan86]

One quastion. Do you need to eat the jump with body before on stim or is better to be stiff with body and than become in air soft and land softly...

[@nickp8373]

What about loading the suspension at the face of the jump with your body weight and knee flex?

[@DanielRodriguez-gm1ih]

Pretty good video

[@Mike-ys5rt]

Nice !

[@TZMoto]

Great stuff good and informative and to the point 👍

[@braydensmith893]

The gloves your wearing are the exact ones I use and they are the same color!

[@chrisfolmar4052]

What kinda face of a jump do you recommend for people trying to learn short ones or ones with a long one i was trying one on a short one and i feel the back suspension buck me alittle when i land

[@miketyler835]

So when he is talking about smooth throttle delivery though the top do you let off when you feel your back wheel leave the ground or stay on the gas

[@adventuross_]

Going by the sound of the bike he lets off the gas as he's leaving the jump, I could be wrong I'm no expert nor do i have much experience jumping bikes.

[@knolysjohnson7244]

solid tips!

[@federicomariano5020]

Thanks very helpful

[@jesseacreman7638]

Bro love the videos can you do some on how to whip and do tricks with out getting hurt

[@davidmartin2631]

You should mention how important proper suspension setup is. Front-rear balance is key.
