Same here man. There is this one sand track in Southern Ontario (Canada), and I am struggling to hit the finish line jump. Hopefully I build up the courage to hit it the next time I'm there.
This helped for sure. Could you also make a video on jumping doubles or maybe hitting jumps one after another in a rhythm section to get the timing right? I know doubles are moreso a mindgame because of the empty space in the middle, but a video would forsure help

I have a video on my channel of when I did big gulp for the first time. I told myself at the beginning of the day I was going to do it but hesitated every lap until it was the final moto on the last lap when I knew I had no choice but to jump it. I completely over shot the landing because I was so afraid of coming up short. After that I came back to Budds Creek on a practice day and I nailed it perfectly nearly every time.
Me for new jumps is go short a few times to get a understanding of how fast I need to go and then go for it.Usually this works perfect,but for doubles I just watch people do it for a while and think of what gear I need to be in and how much on the gas.I used this strategy Saturday at hangtown as it was my first time being their and I ended up getting all the doubles and the long tables.I also use Aj’s technique of hitting jumps 2-3-4 times to remember speed and gear and be comfortable
I'm just commenting on a random video here to reach out to you - First of all - YOU FRICKIN ROCK and you are extremely talented with your ability to teach.... WOW! Second of all - Could you make a video that teaches tight corners, not necessarily rutted corners - Also, how to do a rhythm section. Getting the timing right with a bunch of doubles..... THANKS!!!
That's easy to solve, just ask other riders. Everyone knows what gear they hit certain jumps in. Once you have some more experience you'll be able to make that determination by yourself
I've been knowing how to ride dirt bikes but I finally went to the track for the first time 2 months ago and long story short after a few practice laps to get my confidence built I was hitting 40 feet jumps I don't know if y'all call that doubles triples or I don't know but first day though, with no coaching no assistance the only one at the track in the middle of the week 💪
Curious what about beginner riders first time jumping?. I will not be in third gear. Can we practice second gear small stuff? What should we be doing? standing technic? Sitting, crouching?
I tried the big double - double at TMX in Tulsa for the first time, and I crashed very hard. This was 2 months ago, and I haven't ridden since, due to injuries. I am even more scared of it than before. I came up short on the first landing, it bucked me at an angle and I whiskey throttled and hit the next jump and landed on flat ground and went into the trees. How do I overcome this?
Love these type videos , I'm 51 and just getting back into moto after many , many years, So, it's beginner level all over again for me, really....I'm 6'3, and 265 pounds...Yeah, I know I'm trying to lose a bunch of this fat !!! lololol...But, I have a CRF450R 03 model, and i'm taking it slow relearning the bike, getting the feel for it all over. I may have to drop back to a 250 ?? what do ya think AJ ?? Stay with the 450 ?? and just take my time with it, or drop down to a 250 ?? Thanks Man !! Hope to hear back from ya ! I'm from Western Ky.
A 350 really would be the perfect bike for your situation and your weight. It just depends how much you feel you’re struggling with the 450 power. If you were 190 pounds and a beginner I would say absolutely get a 250
@@AjCatanzaro Thanks AJ !! I'm really trying to get this weight off of myself...lolol...But, the older ya get the harder it is to get it to come off !! lolol....But, Yeah, the power kinda freaked me out when I first got the 450 but, I'm getting used to it, and these damn 450's have the power !! lolol...#1 more ?? if you don't mind...What am I doing wrong, it feels like the bike want to pull me off ! I have watched allyour videos on "How too" !! ? What do I need to do too help this problem ?? Thanks So much for your time and help !!
@@AjCatanzaro dang at 250lbs (mostly muscle former D1 linebacker) new rider of about four months I've been leaving my CRF250r alone and riding only my CR135. Guess I need to man up and get on the 250 more haha.
I'm 50, there's a large table on our home track I haven't cleared since I was a teen. Its 90 feet long and 23 feet tall. Overshooting is my biggest fear 😱
Downshift in the air so you will be slow when you're hit ground for the corner I have to I have no back break and if you don't know you don't need a clutch to downshift
Pet peeve, casing is when you land on the engine case, like land on the peak with one wheel on each side and the engine case hits the ground. When did "casing" become landing flat?
I've been interested in the Moto academy. But my bike is a Sur Ron electric 5kw dirt bike. It's more comparable to the power of a 110 but with more torque and sits up more like a proper dirt bike/downhill bike. Would the lessons still translate? I've been using your cornering technics and working on my attack stance, but the bike is so narrow it's hard to grip it with your knees and other quirks. As much as I want to get a full size dirt bike it's not in the cards at the moment. Do you think Moto academy will still help? Love your content man
The skills absolutely would translate over. I’ve never ridden one of those, but I bet you I would be good on one because I would just take all of my moto technique right over to it 👍🏼
Do you have a time frame for when your schedule for your traveling lessons next year will be out? I was supposed to go to one in August that got moved to the 4th of September and then I broke my collar bone. :(
Proper footwork will make it so it doesn’t matter how tall you are. Point your toes in, and it will aim your knee caps inward to help grip (even if your knees are above the seat)
Yeah, but don't forget to talk about the technique of where to sit on the bike on the takeoff, and during the apex of the jump, and if you're perhaps front end high what to do without hitting the stinking rear brake, how do you bring the front end down if you're on the back of the bike or something like that ? So I would like some help with positioning on the bike before the jump during the takeoff, what you should be doing during the apex of the jump in preparation for landing on the downside of the jump etc etc, thanks you're a great teacher and do a wonderful job, Tom
Friday night and I’m at the track camping out, practice tomorrow, race Sunday. Perfect video to watch right now thanks dude!
Cool, good luck!!!
@@AjCatanzaro thank you sir
You’re such a big help. I love that you know what you’re doing and are good at it. Thanks again AJ!
Thanks!
I've got one jump left at my local track, I'm DYING to hit it!!!!

Same
No better feeling then getting all the jumps dialed in at your local track and getting that flow. 🤙🏼

3rd pinned? 😂
That jump looks super fun too
I don't even ride anymore but man that's exciting to see Daniel crush it, good stuff guys
Ajs the man.... lets get some supercross top tens consistently for 2024..
This is part of why your channel is so helpful
Thanks!
Dude I really like your methods really good
Top notch as always AJ watching and learning from Japan
Great job! He made it look so easy. I would have been so apprehensive
Cool thanks for the videos

Absolutely awesome video and tuition AJ 🙏🏼🏁💨💨👌
Almost 2022 after 15 min and I m watching uuu videos :D
Can't wait to take your class in October
I love it
WE WANT MORE PRIVATE LESSONS!
That was a great learn video
I always struggle with finding what gear to use for the jumps I don’t hit
That's easy to solve, just ask other riders. Everyone knows what gear they hit certain jumps in. Once you have some more experience you'll be able to make that determination by yourself

You got it man. Give it a whirl
When you finally commit to a jump and rip it for the first time theres no better feeling

Just like most of the English language, the word “case” is a derivative
Way to go daniel! That has to feel good. Is that a 2022 250sxf?
Yep!
I wish I could get the bike level when I jump. I never know how the bike will be in the landing. How do I correct that
Skip to 6:05 if you dont wanna wanna hear him talk and watch him ride the jump
How do you measure lip to lip. . looks like a long triple so 65

Did he preload a bit before the ramp?
More jump training vids
Any tips for a taller rider on a YZ 125? I struggle with holding the bike and my feet come off in the air.
Grip with the legs, you can put grip tape on the frame
Proper footwork will make it so it doesn’t matter how tall you are. Point your toes in, and it will aim your knee caps inward to help grip (even if your knees are above the seat)
@@AjCatanzaro Thank you! That’s the thing I haven’t been doing, pointing my toes in.

How to take oof in jump. Beginner
That looks 90ft camera I guess just does not it justice
Kind of cheapens the taste of the Moto-X Academy when the videos that are behind a pay-wall end up on UA-cam for free.
99.9% of them will not. This was a video that was actually filmed for UA-cam originally that made sense to toss inside the academy as well
Jesus loves you.
