I’m a long time MXer and studied with some of the greats. But AJ’s detail and communication style in teaching is really second to none. I’m only watching the videos as this point but looking forward to riding with these guys soon. Thanks AJ for all the great material.
Can't thank you enough for the recommendation to foundation training. I bought this guys book about ten years ago and didn't recognize the value. 10 years later I get it. You are such a great asset to all of us riders!
If you're a older vet rider the anterior pelvic tilt must be reinforced with a strong front core muscle group. I had too much anterior pelvic tilt from weak front core and it caused to much lumbar spine extension and my L4/L5 discs to bulged causing sciatica. Hard and painful lesson to learn the hard way. I'm now off the bike for a while doing PT and trying to get my core stronger before I even attempt to get on the bike.
Dude, I just found your channel. I ride an xt-225 Spent the last 2 days working on riding on the balls of my feet in the attack position. I’ve improved sooo much just in one day. Thanks for the content!!
Great video AJ! The only thing wrong is head position. See Chase Sexton interview on how your neck should be positioned - this is also based on foundation training. I'm working on it! It's a work in process.
I'll start practicing this moto attack position right away! I was bringing the mtb attack position to mx, but the technique is completely different. Thanks for sharing!
this is great info dude. thank you! interesting question, what advice would you give to a paraplegic? My brother is in a wheelchair (so obviously can only sit) and still rides moto a bit. Hes on a Surron storm Bee.
This is the main technique that I have been trying to learn since getting back on a dirt bike after 20 years. Still a work in progress but I have noticed a change.
My thoughts are that these techniques are effective. But the caveat is that if you're completely out of shape you'd be relying on riding yourself into shape. And that's a recipe for injuries. You really need to supplement this practice of technique with a workout regimen that compliments the particular movements and resistance positions you'll be in while riding.
Absolutely. That goes for almost anything in life. You are definitely limited to how well you can perform everything. It all starts with something, for riding definitely start with Foundation Training on UA-cam! Great exercise to get into riding shape and flexibility.
What would be the strength exercises to strengthen the posterior chain?. I believe we are all guilty of dropping knees forward because of weak posterior chain muscles. Quads are naturally stronger than hamstrings.
If you get a chance to go to one of his classes. GO. It is hard work to change your riding ways because you are so used to doing what you learned from when you were a kid. So it is work you have to put in and study and keep perfecting
Has anyone snapped a hammy or calf muscle from the attack position? My biggest fear when feeling that stretch AJ talks about is hitting a violent bump and stretching my hammys/calfs to the breaking point?
Aj: “do this with me in real time”
Me lying on the couch eating oreos: “Yes”
Eating pizza, nodding along

He's an incredible instructor. Excited to work on a few things with him soon!
never get tired of learning about the attack position. cheers AJ 👍

Love to hear it!
Your content helps so much to become a better rider!💪 I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you so much!❤ Best regards from germany ✌
One of the best vids you’ve done. Super clear and easy to understand. Thanks!
Chase Sexton riding form got me all types of worked up
fr, danger boy rides "on his toes" crazy
This is gold.
Wow! What a lesson! I wish I was told this stuff 35 years ago.
Anyway I have the passion and the will to learn and improve my ride 😉
Absolutely the best techniques.
This will be my go to video now.
I think the final pieces for me are to stay loose, breathe, and look ahead.

Thank you for this tutorial 👍
🇦🇺
Great video thanks.
Q: How are your hitting the rear brake in your attack brake position? Rolling over the footpeg will de-stabilise this position?
I'll start practicing this moto attack position right away! I was bringing the mtb attack position to mx, but the technique is completely different. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome to hear! Let us know how you like it!
Bet my calves will be unhappy for a while! Great video.
“Calf pump” has replaced arm pump as a thing 😂
Such a good explanation!!!
My new bible. Cheers AJ!
Many thanks from Siberia bro 👍🏽 epic video 🤘🏿🤘🏿
Thank you for everything you do!

great tips AJ

Good stuff
Dude you are so cool ❤❤❤❤😊

Along with the heel drop you’re also weighting the peg down, back, and in correct? Seems like an important detail to mention
Bingo! It happens naturally with the heel drop.
Weight on heels? What if you have weak ankles from too many hyper extensions?
What about sand, is it the same?
Would there be any changes if running fastway ankle savers due to Achilles injury?
What would be the strength exercises to strengthen the posterior chain?. I believe we are all guilty of dropping knees forward because of weak posterior chain muscles. Quads are naturally stronger than hamstrings.
Bent Over Rows, hip thrusts, kettle bell swings, deadlifts are all great!

Maan I dont even get the bike yet but this video is making me to feel that I am ready to ride😅
Do it!
@@themotoacademyYTits been 12 years since I rode last time.. I will get back into it ..I will. 🏁😎
The anatomical term IS anterior pelvic tilt. Thank you for not saying unlock your hips...
You developed this?
It has been developed and refined over the last several years!
👍👍
What about landings on the ball of your feet? Doesn't sound healthy to me...
Weeeee
