Learn how to stop sliding out on flat turns on a dirt bike!
If you're frustrated because either the front end is washing out on flat turns or you're having to slow WAY down to prevent crashing and you can't keep up with your riding friends, then this video is for YOU!
This works if you're riding a dirt bike on single-track trails or just riding on a gravel road/fire road.
Motocross Hideout is my personal brand to help new riders learn to properly and safely ride a dirt bike so that you don't crash and miss out on life because of an injury. My Virtual Dirt Biker School is an online riding course/camp that teaches anyone new to dirt bikes the basic techniques to stay in control and become a better rider faster. I've taught many first-time riders over the years, both guys and girls, young and old.

Disclaimer: Dirt biking can be dangerous if you don't respect the bike or terrain. This video shows you tips to help keep you safer as well as improve your riding technique and skill so that you stay in control while riding. I, Kelley Fager from Motocross Hideout, am not held responsible for a crash resulting in an injury from trying these techniques. Please use proper dirt bike riding gear to help prevent an injury.
I APOLOGIZE for the "choppy" transitions - I'll do better next time to catch the technical issue before posting next time!

hello
good stuff brotha. now do us all a favor an drywall your garage.
Thanks, Wyatt. It's on the to-do list, it's just not a priority at the moment, unfortunately. :(
Why? This is fine.
It's not the difference in traction, it's the direction of force.
Yes, but the correct direction of force gives you better traction as a result :) Thanks for watching.

It's okay. You can be a great rider without ever having studied statics and dynamics. And you can help others with their riding without having learned these fields. The concern comes when people who have studied hear you making statements that either mean nothing at all or are technically wrong. That just gets you a reputation for not knowing what you're talking about so it's best to refrain from getting technical and keep it simple. I hope that helps you.
You're obviously way smarter and have more knowledge than me good for you! 😉
To me, it just sounded like you were saying that changing body position makes a difference in the direction of force, which makes perfect sense to me, but that it also doesn't change the amount of traction you'll get, which doesn't make sense to me because you're less likely to slide out (lose traction) if you're not using the proper body position while turning on a flat corner.
@@MotocrossHideout
No need to get defensive. I took the classes and you didn't which has nothing to do with how smart we are comparatively.
My original comment is merely to communicate that the reason the tire slides sideways is due to direction of force and not amount of traction. One can keep the bike from sliding out on a near zero traction condition, like a couple inches of snow on asphalt, by keeping the force vector close enough to plumb. Conversely, one can slide out on high traction conditions, such as clean dry smooth asphalt, by applying excess perpendicular level force.
Imagine the force applied to the riding surface having a direction and a magnitude. Now shadow that force vector straight down and straight sideways -- those shadows are the vertical component and the horizontal component of the force vector.
Thanks for your reply. I wasn't trying to be defensive - I simply didn't understand the point of your comment. You had said to keep it simple, which is what I was trying to do for the average trail rider watching this video :)
I'm pretty sure that I fully understand what you're communicating about the force and direction of angle. Yes, I fully agree that you can slide out in high or low traction surfaces.
My point in the video was to communicate that if you shift your body position so that it's putting more weight over the tires, you'll have more "potential" traction, in simple terms, allowing you to increase your speed (increasing the force?) without sliding out.
For example, if you're riding a flat corner and leaning with the bike, the tires will slide out at a lower speed than if you were positioned more approppriately and over the tires, if that makes sense.
This was edited way to fast...
Thanks for your feedback, Chad. What kind of edit were you looking for?
@MotocrossHideout he's saying it's sloppily put together
Okay, I'm all for improving! Is there anything specific that would make it less sloppy?
Thanks,

The video had good content but wasn't edited very well. Very choppy... parts of the video were not clean when you spliced different segments together.
I enjoy your videos and do learn quite a bit... this particular video was not your best effort....
@MotocrossHideout I didn't make it through the whole video... Clicked off when your cuts were right in the middle of you speaking. To be fair I was only watching to see why th OP thought your editing was terrible. At first I really didn't see anything wrong with it, but then 😆🤏
A c rider giving riding tips …
Yep, I'm slower than molasses!
Lets see your riding tip vids?
@@ridemfast7625 guess I’ll have to start a Chanel lol I’m a professional and have had the opportunity to train with the factory redbull ktm team for a few winters . I’ve also raced in Europe … definitely am curious if this guy has worked with any trainers ?
Hey Jonathan, I'm sure you're a much faster rider than I am - that's awesome!
I'm not here to help expert-level racers ride faster or become pros. I'm here to help casual trail riders that are struggling with their confidence on single-track trails because they are afraid of crashing or don't know how to safely control their bike.
I hear about too many people getting into this sport and getting hurt right away because they choose the wrong bike and/or try to ride too fast too soon and crash hard. I want to help prevent that so they can enjoy the freedom of trail riding with their family or friends for the rest of their lives.
I may not be the fastest, but I know I can help them because I already have (in-person and online).
it’s still good advice. Who cares what level the instructor is at. Maybe try not being such an an asshole bud …you’ll find life becomes a lot easier
