What are some of your favorite riding techniques to practice?
Rocky Mountain ATV MC standing everywhere no matter what. Track or trails I’ll stand for as long as I can just to practice balls of my feet and squeezing with my knees
Standing
@@claytonhertz251 That is an awesome drill and a great way to develop good habits! Thanks for watching - Chase
Keeping my elbows up is something I'm always told is important.
@@smidly7192 Very true. Elbows usually results in your head tilting and the bike falling over. Elbows up!
Pro tip: remove the brakes ,they only slow you down
BIKER DUDE then you get used to it and start coasting
Lol
“Don’t need those where we’re going” -Cleetus. McFarland
“Why have a front brake when your hand is going to be on the throttle the whole time.” -RM
KH4Life it’s just a burn out lever
Forgot to mention the most important tip of all.
Beginners have to start out on a 450.
Dustin I agree 100%, and always keep it pinned.
Beginner bike would probably be 500 2stroke
Unless there a pansie
@@braydennienhuser9547 😂
Hey I'm 6'1 145lbs and I want to start on a 450. I've been on few dirt bikes. Dumped a few but not that experienced. But I'm usually pretty damn good on anything I get on and I want power and something big. Just how I am. Hopefully I don't regret it lmao
Been riding for 12+ years and still ride like a beginner 😂
As long as you're having fun doing it, that's all that matters! - Chase
Jay Robinson 🤣
I know right??? 😂
I mean, later once I can, I'll buy myself a dirt bike, not to be really professional but rather to just ride in my woods and in our road (half an hour long gravel path) I'd say the only thing I wont do will be big long jumps.
Haha same here mate. Been riding around 12 years aswell and kids on 65cc bikes are lapping me on the track 😂 it's all about having fun lol
I've been riding atvs for 40 years,motorcycles for 30 years but dirtbikes this is my first year lots to learn but I'm having a blast doing it
that's awesome! They can be frustrating at times, but always worth it! Stay safe out there - Chase
Once you have it , you never loose it ! Grew up riding dirt bikes. Now my son is into dirt bikes. Few yrs ago he bought his first bike. Now on his 3rd. Of course i had to pick up a kx250 ! Hes impressed and has learned lots of tips from good old dad ! Ha!
You only live once.
Great hearing your having fun. Us old guys can still keep up ! Altho damm , i wish i was 17 again lol
You look badass with that gun!
me too
I've been riding Croom for over forty years. Bithlow, Hardrock, Dade City, Chicken Farm in the 70s. Etc. When I'm riding good my ankles hurt the next day from squeezing the bike.
I’ve been watching Ronnie macs tips
Fricking screaming eagles
Frick it and tuck it
Gotta do that air wheelie
Always
He might be good but his tips are how to break ur back😂
Some more content like this please . I'm a 41 year old dirt bike beginner trying to teach my son so this content is gold. Thanks Guys
You got it!
Same here he wants to race so i got 2 pit bikes so they can learn to ride i got 2 boys 10 and 11 and i never road til now
I would love to go ride with you brah. Dirt riding will only help my street riding skills
come on out to Utah!
Hello -_-
@@marblehen770 hello😑
Fancy seeing you here haha.
You’ll never ride on the road again
Pro tip: let your elbows go down so your front end washes out and you’re forced to accelerate quickly
I was wondering how to drop my lap times!!! haha. I'll give than a try next time I ride. - Chase
Awesome tip chase..head on shoulder when turning ..never heard that one..what a easy way to remember to keep outside elbow up and to lean your body the rite way
Thanks, Craig. Hope it helps you out!
i was always told to put put my ear to my shoulder the way i was turning to help me lean more....
For faster cornering make sure to push down on the foot peg on the opposite side of which way your turning. So if your making a right turn push down on the left foot peg or making a left turn push down on the right foot peg. 👍 20 years of riding dirt bikes, my old man taught me that.
when I started my club trainer took my seat away for an hour. Let me tell you I've learned to stand up.
Excellent and informative video, thank you! I'm picking up my 2020 YZ250 next week after 14 years away from dirt bikes and this video reinforced good habits to keep in mind.
I also recently came back from 15 years away from riding. Welcome home brother!
Hear the ping
See the smoke
You've been passed by
A 2 stroke
Welcome back man. I have had a few multi year breaks in my riding over the last 3 decades and after my latest break of 8 years, picked up my buddys 2006 YZ 125.
At age 60, now retraining to do some more mx racing before the body says "no more." It's the best thing for physical and mental health I have found. Braaap on!
For *off the bike mistakes* I’d say “Social Aspects”. Knowing how you interact with other people, especially as beginner, is important. Sometimes the moto world can be a little exclusive. I don’t intend to be negative, but just don’t let the naysayers get in your head. Sometimes when you show up at a race/trailhead just ride and then leave. Picking who to be around is important for your confidence.
Good advice for any aspect of life.
Alota moto dudes can be really negative , must suck to always be in a bad mood
I don't have the newest dirtbike, mine is from 2006. So I'm a bit worried that i don't fit in or i am not cool enough. But i have to buy all my motocross stuff including bike by myself and i am only 15. Do you guys think that someone will pick on me?
@@user-uo7pz6eh9x f*** the talkers, get out there and enjoy that bike homie , no regrets
Wasserflasche grew up in the 90s with old xrs and bikes nobody has heard of anymore(hodaka)... the guys that had the nice new bikes their dads bought them don’t ride anymore. They just wanted to be cool. Just do you!
Hey guys. I really appreciate this video and all of your content. I'm 21 and just bought my first bike so I have a lot to learn, from maintenance to riding like a pro. So thanks for all the help from Alaska!
You're welcome! Glad you found it useful. Welcome to the dirt bike family and have fun out there! - Chase
chase is one of the most educated person for all aspects of motercycling ,where it be parts dept. apperal,tools,and riding ,best man for the job ,love this guys videos grat job chase
Thanks, Dave! We really appreciate the support! - Chase
@@rmatvmc Do I have to pay you for criticism to get a "thank you"? hahaha
Come on man,
"All aspects of Motorcycling"? Who can really take that credit?
20+ years on road bikes and trying to get back into riding dirt with my boys and found myself really struggling so this just was awesome for me and it's making a huge difference. Thankyou🙏
Thanks I’ve been riding for fun since a kid but never learned how to ride MX. These tips are gold.
Great video and ready to see the next one on another 5 tips!!! Despite of basic these are very important basic techniques.
I always pick a few techniques to focus on, for every ride! Best thing you can do for yourself... being a better rider means using less energy and then you can ride longer!
Good advice!
This is one of the channels that's giving the most detailed tips that's actually showing & demonstrating how its done. Subscribed!
Let's goooooooooooooo! - Chase
Great vid. I didn’t realize that posture made such a difference
Thanks a lot from the bottom of my heart !! This is the first Motocross tutorial I'm watching right now, since I'm planning to take on to Motocross. I'm just a normal rider right now but with practice and techniques, I would like to improve my off-road riding by watching CZcams videos to begin with. Thanks once again !
Thank You Very Much For Sharing.
Your videos are great. Very helpful to a 40 year old who just got their first dirtbike.
Great to hear! Have fun and be safe out there! - Chase
Any Rider who says there's no more to learn or not looking to improve from a first-time or to the seasoned Pro veteran is either fooling him or herself or not too bright 😄👍 great post and video! thanks mate
Unless you’re Ronnie Mac
Thanks for the good reminders!
Thanks this was super informative I'm 51 have been riding for 20 plus years on Ranch property riding the track is a new interest. Thanks for sharing!
My biggest issue is the sitting down thing. Im getting faster but I tend to sit down to much making me bounce everywhere and making me tired faster.
Standing more definitely takes practice and repetition. You would think that sitting down would help you be less tired, but when the track is rough, it does the opposite. - Chase
buying my first dirt bike as an adult after 25 years since i grew up on em and plan to do some single track trails and desert, this helps tremendously as its a totally different game to street riding which ive done for 20 years. Great basic tips that can be applied to all rusty/new/int riders - thanks! will pass this on to the wifey as well!
Great tips thank you! Almost everyone needs to work on one of these.
Old video but never old tips. All 5 are great especially #5 using the head to elbow at turns. Having a friend(s) watch your technique is super important too. Thanks Chase.
Great video! Very Helpfull.Thanks!
Hi Rocky Mountain I have watched you for a long time but I have never seen 5 common mistake for enduro thank you
Main mistake is to ride on a cross bike)
Assassin Неудачник and another mistake is to ride on a 4 stroke
Thanks! This video helped me alot.
Excellent video again Chase.
Tip #5 is great ! Thanks!
Great advice thanks
Fast b rider watching this video like damn, I gotta learn how to ride all over again.
Heheh yea it really makes you think about your technique
thanks a lot for the lesson!
thank you we all learned something everyday thank you
short and sweet lesson. Thanks chief
Learn to feather the clutch & try to keep your outside knee tight against the tank & the majority of your weight on the outside peg for better traction when cornering. Next thing you know you'll be wheeling through the burms.
Rocky, these are fantastic tips for beginners. Very useful and this would motivate them to learn further. God bless
I’m very late into this sport at 27 years old. I’ve spent much of my life on atvs and recent years on dual sports. But after trying a motocross bike for the first time. I crave that feeling and excitement more than anything.
Oh no you were a quadfag... Welcome to the family brother, so glad you left the past behind.
I started mx racing at 26 back in '89 and have just restarted again at 60. Age is just a number...stay loose, learn good riding techniques and habits, and most importantly, have fun!!
Thanks for the information bro.....
really helped bro thanks very informative video
Excellent video Chase! Thanks for the tips.
Glad it helped you out! - Chase
This is the best video I’ve ever seen
That Vision help me very much. Nice Video
Good stuff, thanks!
I used to literally stall my bike in ruts, that’s how slow I used to go but now I’m 1/2 throttle in 3rd gear in most ruts because of looking ahead
Nice! Sounds like it's working then!
It's amazing how much faster you can go when you're not looking at the ground five feet in front of ya but a few hundred feet out ahead instead. I used to be the same just putting around taking my sweet old time looking almost straight down at ruts and stalling out on easy terrain lol, now I just read the track way further out and anticipate when I need to react to the terrain much easier.
Thanks for the video 👍
Brilliant video! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Just getting into all the refined physics of motorcycles and figured out the body position on a dirt bike and on a street bike. So many differences! The last tip was what I was looking for. Thank you so much! 😊
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
GREAT advice.
one i would recommend is looking where you want to go . focus on a line you want to take as opposed to a rut or wash you want to avoid . like shooting free throws in basketball , look at the back of the rim until the ball has passed through the hoop . maybe a little advanced but just throwing it out there . nice work on the vid .
Thanks DozerMoto. I always like to pick my rut but as soon as I'm in it, i'm already looking ahead to where i want to go, not where I am. Thanks for watching!- Chase
Great video! We are developing a off road program for the Army and have used a lot of these same techniques and riding coaches are a must to always better yourself!
That's awesome! Thanks for watching - Chase
Great tips!
I'm a beginner rider and I don't have a mentor but figured some of this out bout this video really help reinforce that idea and gave me some new tips like the rut
I’m transitioning from mountain bikes to dual sport and these tips are so helpful! They are also similar to some key mountain bike skills. Great simple video - thanks for making such a great and clear tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful ...Thank you sir
Great video!!
Still not verified? CZcams step it up!
Great tips. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice tips
Thank for sharing this video on youtube..
It helps a lot to us!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks man this helps a lot
Very helpful 💯💯💯
Great informative video, I will definitely do some of these drills the next time I go to the track!
Glad you liked it! What part of your riding needs to the most work? - Chase
Rocky Mountain ATV MC i would probably say my standing, I think I’m doing It wrong but I will work on all of the things you discussed in the video!
I liked these particular tips. I see a lot of riders spin out when they are trying to pass me, a medium skill level rider. Sometimes, it can be better to take the corner slower. Not every pass on that corner has to be a fast one. You can set yourself up to pass, for more power, and you can get time to set yourself up for the next run. The secret ... is to have fun. So, rip it up and yippie kay yah, ya!
Thanks for helping me
Thank you so much 😊
I’ve been riding for 7 years and some of these tips helped me😂
Need to watch this again. Only have started riding this year but last time i rode i had no confidence cornering on the track
Practice, Practice, Practice!
Thank you so much for this helpful viedeo
Good advice
Tankyu so much guys
Good video, I wish there was one on throttle control and clutch, I just got rid of a 250f because of this issue.
Great advice. I just sent this to a kid I hope to be coaching this summer. Cameron, if you see this leave a comment. 👍🏽😎👍🏽
Thank you for this advice. I'm going to be going to a motocross track soon for the first time ever. Had many off road bikes and road bikes over the years but never been on a track. I'm a complete novice and now 36 years old so it's a bit late to get into it but I'm going to be using your advice. Thank you
Nice! Ride safe and have fun!
@@rmatvmc thanks and the same to yourself
Never too late to get into it, I am returning to mx racing at 60 after several gaps in the last three decades.
LOVE that color blue you got for your hubs, they look sick
Those are standard on our Tusk Impact wheels!
awesome tips thanks!
You bet!
Thank u this will help me in the future, rn im riding a road trail klx 150, so i cant do this sort of motocross, but im saving for like a kx112 2 stroke or a kx250 4 stroke, so when i get that imma watch this vid again. Thank u dude.
Awesome video
Thank you very much, the head tip i think is gold
Head up is an easy one to forget. I've noticed that when I get tired, my head starts to lean a lot more. - Chase
Thank you sm😤😎
I just start to ride a mx. This tips helped SO much! TKS, chase!
Happy to help! - Chase
Love the new graphics on the steed Chase! Nice handlebar choice too I have them myself
Thanks! I really like how my bike is looking right now. Bars are sooo good. - Chase
Thanks for he tips ,they are really helping me thanks again Ross England 🏴
Happy to help!
really helpful. thank you
You bet!
That last tip explains a lot, to why I go down in turns. Thanks for the tips! It was confusing but I’ll keep that in mind lol
Glad you like the vid and it helped you out! Let us know how it goes when you practice these. Thanks for watching- Chase
Excellent advice and coaching, this is exactly what my coach said in a one-on-one session, especially about the 5th tip with elbow positioning in a turn. Thank you for making these videos!
Thanks for watching, Alex! These are just the basics, but even the top guys still practice basic fundamentals. Have fun out there - Chase
Best beginner tips ever seen
Glad you think so!
I will be riding a motocross bike this coming weekend, for the first time in my life. Besides the tips shown on this video, I will appreciate any additional information you think would be useful. The biggest motorcycle I have ever ridden was a Yamaha 700 cruiser type...this weekend will be a KTM 250 or similar. Very excited, kind of nervous, but very happy to try a new experience. Awesome video! Thank you!
Great video for me which is going to help me to understand better how to work with my body in the motorcycle
Glad it was helpful!
This video has great info.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips ! Choosing your lines looking well ahead really helps! Riding loose too. If you choose your line and keep loose you will notice a huge dif shaving time off laps.
Thanks for the tips 🤙
Thanks for watching, Kyle! Yes, staying loose is a big thing to focus on. We could do an entire video on just staying loose on the bike. - Chase
Nice video, I learned a lot
Me to
Gonna start motocross soon so exited!
spr1nt have u started, what bike?
Me too. I have a kx450f (not a joke I went for alot of power... maybe too much. But I am 6 foot 4 inches 250 lbs) and I am a bit intimidated as I have never jumped a bike before.
Thanks bro.. Good info for me (newbie) ..
Glad we could help! - Chase
