Free Agent Cam0 just try to focus on being the best rider u can be!!! and if you can’t do something and your getting frustrated just take a break for 30 mins and come back and do it man hell yeah
perfect way of putting it. I do this every time I'm at a track with something new I want to try. Usually I'll ride over it 10-20 times to get a feel for it then after that if I'm not confident I'll watch and ask other riders so I have a better idea. And I always ask them if they'd rather case or over jump it because sometimes their answer will surprise you. I cleared a 125ft table top a few years back and it was very smooth to case slightly and I didn't think it would be until it happened after clearing it 3 or 4 times.
I built a massive double on my yard this Year. I for some reason got it in my head that is was much bigger then it really was. This video popped up on my Facebook feed. The next time I rode I sent it first lap in warm ups and haven't rolled it since!!
It is smart to start out small, get bored and build it a bit bigger, get bored again, repeat. Once you jump something and get bored and move up, you will never be worried about anything smaller again.
Tiny McPoop some of us aren’t that good I’m eyeing a double at one of my local tracks that if you case you will go over the bars and I’ve only been to a motocross track once but was hitting every big table
@@mark-1234 what if there are no other riders? Or if I'm hitting a jump not on a bike? Is there some kind of way for me to tell how fast I need to go? I mean they had to learn somehow right?
@@Jabooty_Williams - Not sure what's hard to understand about my comment. Nobody's denying you the school of hard knocks. Be my guest if that's what floats your boat. It's just that having had a few broken bones over the years, I would think that anything that removes them from the learning curve would be welcome -- unless you're a masochist, then more power to you. If you have tabletops, you can learn your gear/rpm/distance combinations without any real threat to your health. When I first started, I made lines in the dirt at the 10, 20, and 30 foot marks on the top so I'd have something to go by. Then I just kept jumping until I had it down. But if you have jumps that'll offer serious consequences if cased or overshot, then pacing an experienced rider is the way to go. Otherwise be open to the possibility of injury.
good tips! ive been riding duaslsport for years so ive stayed away from jumps, but once I get a real dirtbike ill remember these great tips! thanks from canada
I never liked the seat bounce, and never rode on a smooth enough track to not get kicked. I used to do a exaggerated bunny hop with the bike off the face of the jump, like a bicycle bunny hop. I was able to clear some stuff faster guys could not, and I did not have to worry about getting kicked. I actually started doing it when jumps started getting big, so I could hit the jump slower and still clear it, (not the best racing philosophy). But when I started getting faster, it worked for clearing tough stuff. I don't know which one will get more height/distance.
i have jumped a 110footer at gap creek and the first time i sent it i felt like i did it a thousand times, its a wicked feeling as your in the air for so long
I always come up short. Lol. No matter how hard I try my throttle seems to back off on its own. I had a 1999 CR250 at one time. I watch Uncle Jimmy on his 1998 CR250 and it blows me away. I wish I could pin it like that. Awesome rider.
Ohh, the poor blue collar workers who have no other opportunity. That is what marx said. He was a bum. Heck, most of the machine shops I worked for had owners who worked for somebody else before they started their own business,---and I did the same,---you poor blue collar worker.
U pick a rider that's consistently clearing the obstacle and tap in behind him. Have him get u over the obstacle. Follow him over. Doing a jump blind is a recipe for disaster..finally somebody mentions this technique...speed clears distance thus copy the speed you clear the obstacle. Better yet ask the rider before you follow him over. Safer that way. Not rocket science Braaaaaap
The monkey see monkey do mindset really helps. It helped me with getting more aggressive with turning on my street bike too on bends. watching a rider infront of me get lower than I am on the turn and then in turn getting lower myself. Might try some jumps with my buddy for the first time this weekend. im on a quad tho
Be careful out there. I compressed three vertebrae in my lower back over-jumping an 80 foot double. I'm sure you've seen other guys do this as well. When landing flat your suspension bottoms out and that unabsorbed energy is directed at your spine and your face smashes into the handle bars. I healed (mostly) and was back to riding 3 months later.
Blame the EPA. They forced the faster 4-stroke on the industry so the tracks got faster and the jumps bigger,---and the bikes way more expensive which hurts the sport a lot. Triple jumps for SX in the 2-stroke days were 60 feet. Don't ever let the state preach to you about safety.
raced harescrambles for years, never done much moto. raced the local fair and the main catapult jump was huge, for a 85 anyway. i linked up with a motocrosser and stayed righ behind him and hit the jump. i was shitting bricks never have jumped that high or far since. but it worked, follwing someone who knew what to do
I have a quad because i can't do dirtbikes and i like using quads and i'ma quad guy and i get better handling with the quads. I never got air at anytime in my quad Because i'm not going super fast in order to jump but iget some speed to make the jump but just lift the wheelie over the edge and i never crashed before but i was doing donuts once and fell sideways like the quad tlited t omy right and iwas perfectly fine and it was funny as hell and also this vid was helpful too
Yeah practice is the best thing knowing ur bike really helps too,worst thing u could do go out as a new rider new bike new jump no clue easiest way end getting hurt...when u know your bike Well enuf speed is the key gas it does nothing but spin your tire if you don't have enuf momentum,you gotta have a good steady run and steady acceleration,last thing u want is bad throttle input and you'll never know how to react to what your blue is gonna do after that.One thing I learned is moving all your weight to the front when u come up short...it was the one thing that turn my approach to jumping into fun because now I know what to do when I come up short the one thing your brain is freaking out about and you didn't even know what it was....I watched this particular video instructional,Rick Johnson was landing off a supercross jump nice and smooth landing like he never left the ground,the shot was Jim Holley landing and his front end was all over the place,like he was dizzy,so I started thinking to myself self,this is important so from then on I started landing putting my weight on the front when I landed it worked so good I started having fun again rather being baffled by the unknown...factor.speed is the main key.I found in supercross really powering all the way thru the jump smoothly was the key to getting over obstacles giving u that few extra feet of distance,if u watch the pros u will see them use every foot of the jump with their body in the right positioncthey will power right up and off the jump driving of the ground for as long as they can to get height and distance,thanks
Agree. Ronnie Mac is a much better teacher. But Ronnie Mac mentioned in one of his videos that Jimmy's wife is always hitting on him. So, you probably won't see Ronnie Mac in any videos associated with Jimmy's sponsors.
i was in a race and it started getting windy and when i hit the jump the wind pushed my bike in the air and i had no control how can i jump when its windy and not have to stress about that during a race?
For me, the scariest part my first time was after I hit it the bike going into the endo position in the air, that takes a little time to get over that uncomfotable feeling, of course I'm no pro like this dude.
im going riding for the first time at a mx course with my buddy whos been riding since hes been 3, ive seen videos of the course and there are no beginners there... how do I cope with trying to ride a dirtbike on a mx track with experienced riders zooming by me?
That is not a safe idea. I would not learn to ride a dirtbike on a track full of fast riders, that would actually scare me as an experienced rider to witness. You should ride on some fire roads or trails of some sort, or just a flat piece of dirt. You don't want to be hit by a fast moving dirtbike + rider, and both of you will get hurt. I would talk to the other riders if the track is not too busy and just letting everyone know in advance will at least reduce the chance of a collision.
Thanks. behind his house there are some trials that we've been riding and im going Saturday ill take to heart what you said and ill talk to some of the other riders there so they know. ill let you know how it goes!
It actually went pretty good, Ive gone one more time since and landed my first jump so that was nice. The people there are super cool and try to help if I have a problem.
im fairly new to motocross, and find jumps to be the hardest bit about it.. Its not that im affraid of going fast, or the fact that im going to be in the air, im not scared of being in mid air... My issue is, Knowing wether or not my bike is level mid air.. I often find myself having to load my weight right over the back of the bike, even on a small jump, Otherwise i land front wheel first.. My first jump i landed right on the front wheel and magically stopped myself going over the bars.. Little seat time, means i am unable to determine my bike level, Wether its nose down, or nose up, it all feels the same to me, until i land... So thats my issue as to why i cant jump properly... Where i ride, has a long table top, Which i am dying to be able to clear, Just cant, due to that reason..
Snitchy1989 if your front end dips when you're in the air, you're likely letting off the throttle before your hit the lip of the jump. I had the same problem, and a good way to solve it is to just make sure you're applying throttle all the way until your rear wheel isn't on the dirt anymore. As far as being level in the air goes, I think that you're right about needing more seat time. The more jumps you clear and land, the more of a sense you'll have for that stuff. If pure really in trouble, revving in midair will spin your rear wheel and bring it closer to the grind and balance you out. Good luck, I hope this helps
Second guessing myself and over thinking it was something I always tried to avoid. My motto was go hit it or don't lolol. Getting towed in is favorable at times. All seasoned riders know that this I guess.

Uncle Ron coming in Clutch with the Tips. Thanks brother! 💯🇺🇸💪
Jimmy gives good advice, but I'd rather hear Ronnie Mac's method.
i know ronnie is a joke but if he was a real rider he would either get killed or kill somone else
skooli2 Ronnie Macs method is to hit the jump and do a air wheelie with full throttle
skooli2 that is Ronnie lmao
You destroyed the joke. Good job.
yeah just knock the jump out the way!
Give it 69 % always ✊🏽💨

He forgot the part about drinking beer.

That is awesome! The first time you jump something is always the hardest. We are glad to hear this video helped you out! -Kaitlyn
It is smart to start out small, get bored and build it a bit bigger, get bored again, repeat. Once you jump something and get bored and move up, you will never be worried about anything smaller again.
Pacing another experienced rider should be at the top of the list since table tops are the only ones that really allow a newbie to safely guess at it.
Tiny McPoop some of us aren’t that good I’m eyeing a double at one of my local tracks that if you case you will go over the bars and I’ve only been to a motocross track once but was hitting every big table

Q: how do you clear a jump for the first time. A: Send It!
JM Bloxa4 lol
good tips! ive been riding duaslsport for years so ive stayed away from jumps, but once I get a real dirtbike ill remember these great tips! thanks from canada
Confidence is key
One of the best tracks I’ve ever ridden!
Spent half my life standing before the jump and finally learned that sitting launches you so much further and keeps the bike level in the air.
Sitting off a jump Is dangerous
I never liked the seat bounce, and never rode on a smooth enough track to not get kicked. I used to do a exaggerated bunny hop with the bike off the face of the jump, like a bicycle bunny hop. I was able to clear some stuff faster guys could not, and I did not have to worry about getting kicked.

thanks for the good tips jimmy
i have jumped a 110footer at gap creek and the first time i sent it i felt like i did it a thousand times, its a wicked feeling as your in the air for so long
Ol jimmy mac ! Thanks for the tips
Great advice basically go to the track spot a good rider you'll feel comfortable following and ask to play follow the leader.
I always come up short. Lol. No matter how hard I try my throttle seems to back off on its own. I had a 1999 CR250 at one time. I watch Uncle Jimmy on his 1998 CR250 and it blows me away. I wish I could pin it like that. Awesome rider.
Good video. Well said.
this will come in handy now I feel like I can do it
THANKS YOU SO MUCH!!!❤️
What advice do you have for a newbie, I bought an enduro so it is not a light or nimble... thanks for the video.
Hope Jimmy is healing up. He is good for the sport & blue collar racers.
Ohh, the poor blue collar workers who have no other opportunity. That is what marx said. He was a bum.

I tried about 6 or 9 times but I’m still casing but Thxs for the tips Ron🇺🇸

5th gear pinned and ronnie mac at the rest hahaha
Venom Power 18 baitcaster though more of a spinning reel man myself
Hoping in behind them GREAT advice
Love the idea of shadowing another rider through the jump
Gotta love jimmy!!
ronnie mac cleans up legit
just gotta send it!!
I went to my local track but I hit a couple jumps my bavk tire gets more air than the front one and it looks like I am going to fall
Just gonnaaa seeeeeend it!
Is it better to lean back or forward before hitting a jump
wow so important information here just wow jumping wow
raced harescrambles for years, never done much moto. raced the local fair and the main catapult jump was huge, for a 85 anyway. i linked up with a motocrosser and stayed righ behind him and hit the jump. i was shitting bricks never have jumped that high or far since. but it worked, follwing someone who knew what to do

Hit it like I have a 1000x I thought. Lol
2 sprained ankles later lol
Hi Man, can i use my CRF150L for practice? Newbie here thanks
i’m trying to hit a 90ft double at my local track. i know i’m ready but i just can’t seem to hit it

i love riding
Good advice uncle ronnie! 🤘🇺🇸69

How to clear a jump: SEND IT 🤙
Always over jump the first time and then mike it down to where it needs to be after that.. I have never done anything different than this..
Thanks im going to go fifth gear pinned at any jump right now
Do people usually jump 450s ?
Lean back.. throttle threw the face...let off in the air. Pin it wide open right before you land...dont let go..
Just put it in 6th or 9th gear and hold it wide open
I hear he is Ronnie Mac but I also hear him and a couple others play him.
what would ronnie mac do?
Full throttle the whole time, and stay sitting on it.
remove all breaks and tape your throttle so you can hold your beer
hold the throttle down all the way why screaming "AMERICA!!!!" while holding a beer in the other hand
Air wheelie
Ride Red Get Head!!! Uncle Ron!!!
Just gotta send it
I wish Ronnie Mac gave the instructions, I think he's a better teacher than Albertson any day of the week!

Any suggestions of how you should be seated or stand?
Stanf
But how can u properly land it
i was in a race and it started getting windy and when i hit the jump the wind pushed my bike in the air and i had no control how can i jump when its windy and not have to stress about that during a race?
Throw the bike sideways into the wind, let go of the handle bars, and flap your arms in the direction you need to go. :)

Such a fan of Jimmy and his alter ego... 🤔💨💨
I still too scared to jump what do I do. Even when I feel like the throttle open, the air ain’t that high
Preload your suspension as your hitting the face of the jump and it will get you up higher
START with a jump that is ONE foot tall with a 8-10 foot jump face! SLOWLY increase the size of the jump over time as your technique improves!
Sometimes ya gotta hit it 6 or 9 times to make sure !
That's Ronnie Mac forsure
For those who don’t know, this is Ronnie Mac
My first jump is my photo and I just sent it
Just send it!!!
Yup if you want to get go wide open
Jumping my very first time was super weak , and it’s still weak, been riding an atv for about two months
