Super
I’m curious why you ride 2 stroke. During the 4 stroke craze.
Sincerely
Old school 2 stroke
2 stroke is way more fun! I swapped my ktm 450 exc r 4 stroke for a 250 exc 2 stroke best solution i ever did!
Why?
4 strokes is all the bike way to easy ridden.
2 stroke you gotta ride way more with the bike. Allso it reguires allot more endurance. I could take 4 more laps on a 4 stroke 450 than on my 125....
Freaki91 and being even more tired after a ride/race is a good thing?
Freaki91 and it’s faster. Way faster. That’s why they allow 250 2T with 450’s
For those who are new to the internal combustion engine, 2 strokes can (theoretically) generate twice as much power for a given size of engine compared to 4 strokes. That is because each cylinder fires twice as often. The downside is that 4 strokes generally require less maintenance and live longer.
Please can you do a vid on hitting steep fast jumps
Please make a video how to go on hedals (crew jump)
Glasses are lit bruddah.
should do a video on whoops
Do you ever front brake tap? I like it because you don't have to pull in the clutch so you don't possibly stall the engine. You have to do it quickly like morse code and you can do it twice real quickly if you need to. If you do it too long you will lawn dart yourself. But it has saved my bacon a few times from looping out. Try it, see if you like it...
We would never suggest hitting the front brake. If it works for you then that’s special because it doesn’t normally work safely. Stopping your front wheels rotation is recipe for disaster in terms of directional force where the bike is moving towards. If stopped, the bike has no real direction and can easily fall side to side. If you’re making it work then all good, but definitely never something we’d teach.
Can you do a video on hitting short steep jump faces
Good idea.
In order to do this are you in reaction mode or you already know you need to hit the brake before you jump it
You should do a riding in sand tips
be more tight with your legs than arms and on berms drop the clutch
safjimmytovar official dropping the clutch in a turn will make you sink and lose momentum
YES! Hate sand, I never got how to ride it!
The faster you go the harder the sand becomes
#truth
K this might be a dumb question but, after the brake tap when you release the clutch do you gotta give it a rev while releasing or after you fully release it?
You need to mention weather or not your pulling in the clutch or not when hitting the back brake, or a down shift in air
can you do how to preload jump please?
You should do a video how to ride a rut
Have you seen this video on how to ride a basic rut? czcams.com/video/fc4P-rJmEQg/video.html
Do bike control while in the air
do you clutch the bike and then rear break or just the break ???
👍
Hello
Future
PLEASE!!😂😂👍🏽
Do you always cover the back brake when jumping? Or do you move your foot to tap it?
always cover it it’ll also help when you hit a jump and there’s a turn after
Bro what shades are you rocking? They’re pretty jet!!!

1:41 Doncaster motocross parc ?
i did my first braketaps, i rode my buddies 450 and it was way more noticable than on my 300 enduro bike. Is there a reason behind it or did i just time it better on the 450
more wheel speed on the 450 so it stopped harder and moved ur front end down more
Dude what kind of sunglasses do you rock? Those are killer
100% brand
The Mx Factory thank you!
So. On a 4 stroke.do I pull the clutch in when I brake tap? Worried I’ll stall in mid air. 🤔
NubbyTV101 same
I have a question. Do you have to use the clutch when pressing the rear brake in the air?
Yeh
i air wheelied a tabletop on my boys bike last year. went to brake tap n nose down but brake never grabbed. needless to say a broken thumb and fractured tibea plateau. . . i fixed his damn brake and worked on his braking so he didnt work it all so far down.
do you need to clutch it
Hey i have a question . When you hit the back brake do you need to pull the clutch or not?
Charles-David Lindsay yes you will stall in mid air all ways pull in clutch
Yes, in general use the clutch when braking.
What’s up
Ethan Smith your first btw
When you tap that back break doesnt your engine stall? Because your clutch isnt in . Or do you pull in the clutch then tap the brake when your in the air?
Deadliftgorilla i guess you have to clutch in then
So hitting the brakes in mid air actually effects the bike?
If you use your front brake to brake tap will it be the same as using your rear brake to brake tap
Yea but you would crash because then your wheel is not spinning When you land
Yea i never need to do that I jump them perfect first time, but at pagoda that one steap uphill triple I'm really chewing hard so she comes up alittle I actually use the front brake to straighten up just alittle I'm watching the front tire in my peripheral vision and slightly press the front don't lock it up like the back just where the front tire barley comes a slow spin hard to do right but works better don't have to move your foot off the pegs, when I'm racing I don't move my feet a hole lot unless I'm showing off I can almost snatch a knack knack haven't gotten full extension yet but still looks cool, but if y all try front brake don't lock it up you will nose dive hard so just slightly press the leaver slightly, cause of you lock it up you aren't going to save it lucky I did when my hands were tired arm pump so hit it to hard and she was 12:00 on the front wheel I saved kept going though got 2nd place 3rd at budds creek pro national day and that's A class not easy were aggressive I will put on your side if I need to, I hate when a slower rider comes flying in the turn then goes slow take my line cause I can clean your clock and make it clean
Kody George zzzzzzzz!
Any chance of showing how to hit steep freestyle ramps for the first time.
Possibly...
Hey mx factory, I am going to get a 2001 yz250f In a couple of days and only have about $1800 to spend. Do you think that bike will last me for a couple of years? I am not sure if it will last that long since it’s 17 years old.
It totally depends on the condition of it during purchase.
It also depends how well u take care of the bike. (Keeping up with the maintenance)
Do I need to use the clutch when braking during flight?
YES... you will stall mid jump and won’t end well at all!!!
You sound like ronnie mac are you ronnie mac?
I am new to dirt bike riding. Please explain the physics behind the brake tap; why is it this causes the front wheel to drop? Thanks.
Stopping the forward rotation of your rear wheel by hitting the rear brake transfers the downward force onto your frame causing your bike to level out and drop the front wheel. The faster your rear is spinning will cause a greater drop in your front end when you hit the rear brake, because the force from the rear spinning wheel needs to go somewhere, it doesn’t just dissipate. Like if you hit your brakes in a car, everything moves forward and into the ground essentially. Same thing here, hitting the rear brake transfers the force into the front of your bike to move everything forward and down.
Great explanation; thanks. Will the reverse work...if front wheel is too low or dropping too much (i.e.: "endo"), do you give some throttle with no clutch, to get wheel spin and therefore raise the front wheel?
Yes, you are correct. Although not quite as effective, but it does work. In the event of an endo, giving throttle will help bring your rear wheel back down as long as you try and get your weight to back of the bike as well. Commonly referred to as a panic rev.
I like brake tapping with my front you don't have to pull the clutch in
Please do a video on how to ride really really and I mean really hungover.
Ronnie Mac told me to land on top of the jump
Dude Tyler be saying corny stuff "Aluminum have feelings too..", just gotta laugh at it. Lol
Dang right! Tyler is dumber than a box of rocks, but sure does know a thing or two about them dirt scooters!
@@TheMxFactory Ha ha...for sure he knows about them dirt scooters and how to ride them really well. Lol
Don't forget to pull the clutch in before you brake
So if I’m not going to make the Jump land on the back tire. If I am tap the back brake to level me out. Got it
how to build a jump
Laroccos gap got you the like
Can i have your old gear ☺️☺️
What if you need to bring the front end up?
Leave the clutch out and give it a short blip of the throttle. The engine revolution will pull the rear down and the front up. If the front is too high you can also tap the front brake whilst in the air, the natural elliptical arc of the bike and the revolution of the rear wheel will raise the rear end...and snap you level. Jumping isn't always about the brakes - use the engine to change the bike's position too!
Please like our videos.....PLEASE!!!
LMAO ok ok calm ya farm I liked it
I forgot to use clutch on a big triple🥲🥲
1:31 my spine started hurting
why are we not calling the high wheel jump the "Ronnie Mac freedom launch"???
U sound like Ronnie Mac with that accent lol
Ive been trying to stretch it for distance for years...(Thats what she said)
Boi that's what I said
I cant react to the front tire getting high
Im assuming Ronnie mac brake taps a lot for what? How does he not loop out?
Why don't you use the front brake?
1:37 #ronniemac
No rayn dungey
I jumped a bigger job and crash but my dad said the reason I crash was because I wasn’t standing up
I hope u paid the crash dummies good they took some brutal no mercy hits hurts just watching,no mercy slams,on behave of the academy I like to except this award on behave of those I shouldn't have been on a dirt bike ever constituents..
Thank u very much.
3:27 why were your feet off the pegs?
Tyler was bringing the bars to his chest and getting a better look at the landing, basically setting up his bike to drop his front end during the brake tap. But he was looking ahead at the landing to make sure he was ok to tap his brake and drop the front end. So in turn his feet came off his pegs in an effort to look further forward.
@@TheMxFactory and style
Been trying to stretch it out for years now can’t seem to gain any inches though the old lady remains disappointed
1:23 nah dude they were stretching
This dude has a different bike in every video lol
I dont understand
Yawl is crazy but the Mac...
People Named James are BAMF's.
А по русски можно? )
