    • @Freaki91
      @Freaki91 Před 4 lety +5

      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....

    • @Geff1967
      @Geff1967 Před 3 lety

      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.

    @Ltlbrthr12 Před 6 lety +4

    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...

    • @TheMxFactory
      @TheMxFactory  Před 6 lety +8

      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.

    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

    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.

    • @TheMxFactory
      @TheMxFactory  Před 6 lety +4

      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.

    • @bryantelker9239
      @bryantelker9239 Před 6 lety +1

      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?

    • @TheMxFactory
      @TheMxFactory  Před 6 lety +1

      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.

    • @mikedwn
      @mikedwn Před 4 lety

      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!

      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.
