Sure was! Still glad you got up! The cut the clip right as I was about to go off the face after you crashed. Definitely was worried when I saw that coming over the jump
I still remember back before i first got a bike always thinking how easy it "looked" to jump a dirtbike I don't think i've ever been so wrong in my entire life lol, it's really impossible to describe how insanely difficult and scary it really is
I second the notion on A.J's great coaching,coulda went really wrong had A.J. not stopped Pre mix papa to explain what was happening when he accelerated going up the jump face.
So what is the fix when you find yourself in that situation? You said its a result of the takeoff. But once in the air how do you bring it back around? I find this happening to me on occasion.
Great question! Keeping your head over the front is extremely important to keep you in the correct “anterior pelvic tilt” which can allow you to pull it back in. Landing front tire first helps. Landing hard on throttle helps
@@themotoacademyYT correct me if i'm wrong, AJ, but it seems like the more you're able to tell the bike what to do, like scrub, whip, etc, the less likely it is to respond poorly to something like a kicker or wind.
@@themotoacademyYT If I find myself in a similar situation, would it help me to use the rear brake in the air to land on the front wheel, and then give full throttle when landing?
Damn, he spun up the face and it hooked at the lip and sent him left. That stuff is scary, how do you go about gaining more traction off the face under hard acceleration? Weight further back?
When I ride at 125, such situations do not happen, since I have to constantly maintain the trottle level, but at 450 I periodically pull the bike to the side, because the reaction to the gas is too sharp and the rear wheel of the motorcycle runs away. Rigid fixation of the motorcycle with my knees helps me avoid this. Very hard, with force @themotoacademyYT If I find myself in a similar situation, would it help me to use the rear brake in the air to land on the front wheel, and then give full throttle when landing?
I went long once and landed on the bottom where every jumps down and gassed it so it formed a crater and both my feet slapped my shins thought I broke both my ankles 🤦🏻♂️ def learned to inch my way and not just blast it 😂
You can land sideways if on the downslope, somewhat. I think if you cleared it would've been fine. But first shot, definitely do like aj says, take a wide line,
Sitting here with a healing femur/hip with too much hardware that's probably going to shut me down, im glad they know when to hold and know when to fold. Nothing worse than getting your wings clipped possibly indefinitely.The possibility of having to send it into a bed pan with the aid of some pretty nurse makes reevaluating life goals shift around a bit.
I rushed the corner, didn’t get straight, carved the take off and hit the slick part. Which caused the bike to kick the opposite direction. In the air I didn’t readjust my body position by leaning back over the bars to save it , due to being in a panic and pushed away from the bike instead.
The way it flows out of the corner is definitely strange. I feel if we were actually hitting the corner first it would flow better but it definitely plays with your eyes on the run up.
That’s just a rail the corner and whip to the left type jump. Either seat bounce whip or standing. These guys just aren’t very good and lack the fortitude of feel. You gotta feel what the bike is doing under you and make small adjustments on the fly.
Whewwwww hell of a ride!! 😅
C’mon now ray 🤣

@@mathewflood1517 Happy I was able to just brush it off.. I was up and causally walking back to bike while you passed.. haha

So glad to see all you do for the sport! I get so much from your teaching videos and the way you explain things. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I appreciate that!
"Why have you not jumped it today?" Me, "I am too chicken..."
That is an AWESOME chin mount! Where do you get it at, please.
Can't wait after 12 long years off to get myself a bike, an go on motocross days with my son 👏👍
do it man, best memories we’re riding with my pops!
Do some 2 stroke jumping !!!!!!I wanna see you break down jumping and cornering on a 2 stroke
I second the notion on A.J's great coaching,coulda went really wrong had A.J. not stopped Pre mix papa to explain what was happening when he accelerated going up the jump face.
At the end.
I thought I just broke your heart 😂
Damn, did you see that dudes purple KX?! 💜💚

Was an awesome day that’s for sure!
Wow that was fun to watch haha🔥🤙
Nice work lads
❤️
used to race with you in NEMA on 50s, good times bro. Jolly Rogers was my fav track
❤️

You just don't build the speed before
I can feel that highside! auuuchhh
Great video. Made me nervous too. Ha. Great coaching AJ! Luke 9:62
bro was so chill about it 💀
Built different...
That was scary

For me, I get a ton of side to side movement on my bike. It’s not my technique, and if it is, I’m not sure what needs to change.
Wow, you really did encourage rvenz to hit the tabletop.
Dude I did that got knocked silly , got kicked and landed sideways, bucked off
I went long once and landed on the bottom where every jumps down and gassed it so it formed a crater and both my feet slapped my shins thought I broke both my ankles 🤦🏻♂️ def learned to inch my way and not just blast it 😂
😂😂😂 I know exactly what you're talking about
could u make an episode in az? i would gladly pay for a lesson lmao
Going to be at Motoland Next Week!
What track?
Tomahawk MX
Maybe they should start on a 50 ft table top😅

I've done same thing though man.
I'm not seeing what AJ is referring to...
Very subtle in the video! The jump would make almost everyone fade off the takeoff

Forget the stupid exhaust it's check for injuries
tomahawkkkk
You know it!
I dont get it he said he hit it side ways. But he s going straighy at it right?
This jump face was deceptive. It might look like he's hitting it straight but he is slightly carving up the jump face.
3:28 what mistake did he make?
I rushed the corner, didn’t get straight, carved the take off and hit the slick part. Which caused the bike to kick the opposite direction. In the air I didn’t readjust my body position by leaning back over the bars to save it , due to being in a panic and pushed away from the bike instead.
3:40 mark if anyone is interested
The money shot 😂
i need a beer
Same dude
is it me or is the jump off-camber?
The way it flows out of the corner is definitely strange. I feel if we were actually hitting the corner first it would flow better but it definitely plays with your eyes on the run up.
It looks slick to me. I prefer it dry vs borderline slick but I'm nobody
There is no way that’s 100ft
Oh trust me its 100ft...
