First Time Jumping a 2 Stroke got Sketchy - KTM 125 SX
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2020
- Took my new KTM to another motocross track and had too much fun! This is the first time I've ever done mx jumps on a 2 stroke and it was a great learning experience. I feel faster on the KTM compared to my previous KX250F but still need a few more rides to get fully comfortable and confident on this orange machine. Hope you enjoy the video and thank you for watching 😁

Dude great riding, it’s cool to see how your skills improve every time
Derek: i over sent that way to much
Wp suspension: ima head out
You were the first moto related channel I ever watched so I’m pretty sure you must have been part of the drive I have for riding. So thanks for being just a good dude who rides bikes and makes videos because you inspire people like me
Thanks for the nice comment dude I appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing more of your CRF250R vids 🤘
@@DerekHallman no problem, keep shreddin 🤙🏻
Its really awesome to see how you got better thruout the years ive been watching you
Thank god for another banger
That was some crazy riding, 2 strokes are no joke
His man inspires me I’ve always loved mx and I’ve been wanted to try it but I don’t have a dirtbike I use to have one when I was little bit now I have a 450 yfz Yamaha 60th anniversary keep up the good work man
Love the stoke you have for riding. Keep it up man
Getting better every time
I’m watching this video so much times cause I love your content keep on going you will hit a million subs if you keep on believing in your self
Alright, I'm convinced. I need to get a 125. You're already starting to push that thing, it's awesome.
Yes dude I vote do it. I only have a couple rides on this 150sx and I feel it has taught me a lot and forced me to ride faster!
@@DerekHallman nice
How old Are you

i love your new ktm its sick good vids keep it up!
Thank you so much!
What a track to have fun.... i wish to have one like this close to home
Break tapping on 2 strokes is needed more than 4 strokes😂😂😂
Just a tip from a 150sx owner,if you do woods and track get a flywheel weight,will make that power smoother and not so bitey,will also make it harder too stall 👍 looking great out there !! Glad to see people move back too the ol 2 smokers!!
Cool video, I believe that it feels different on jumps then the four strokes because it is lighter.
Man I love 2 strokes!!
dude punched it on the lip did a whole ass ronie mac
Csnt wait for this winter to be over, I'm from Alaska and this coming spring I'm gonna take my 97' RM250 out on the track, been sitting for 4 years now, fixed it up runs good now just gotta wait for the snow to be gone and I'm set, so excited! Also love your videos bro keep up the good work!
Already have snow there? I’m kinda excited for snow because I bought my first snowmobile but also not because I can’t ride my bike
@@jonthelamb4549 Haha yea
@@ckvideo where in Alaska you from cause I’m from kenai and there’s no snow here yet, just frost, I’m still riding around a little but I’m probably gonna put my bike up here soon

@@xgcypress3960 should check out my latest video lol
Some questionable advice in this comment section lol! The main thing you need to focus on when jumping a 125 is you either give it gas THE WHOLE WAY up the face (while making sure you're not getting pulled off the back of the bike)... Or coast the WHOLE WAY up the face (assuming its not a short and steep face, you wont endo). And maybe go a clip position leaner on the needle ;)
It's cool watching you improve already since the first video on the 125, Keep it up!
Sick riding dude!
Thank you dude!
Try doing warmups before you actually ride. (Figure 8’s, standing laps w/no clutch or brake, simulated gate start, Etc.) you’ll get the feel for the bike and how it’ll handle within the first 5 laps.
That looked like an amazing time!
Too much fun!
Dude awesome riding! I ride a kx 125 rn and I’m sellin her and getting a kx250f hopefully one day I’ll get to your level in motocross. Love the vids brotha keep it up!
@74 CYCLES lmao wrong. I learned a lot on the 125 and I bought a 2020 yz250f. She’s the best bike I’ve ever owned.
Love your vids bro
Thanks broski
That was a real undershorts filler at @1:54. Dam!..but your train of thinking was correct in that you blipped the gas as so not to Endo hard I get it..who wouldn't? I think if I was moving that dam fast I wooda upshifted right before face and then do exactly what u did. Your still ripping that track I can't wait for more ktm videos😁
your the best rider I've seen in my life and I want you to ride in a paddock that cows have been in on a 4 stroke
that bike is cleannn
I've never jumped before.... hits the first jump fast as 🤣💪
Get a Lectron for that thing. I had the same problem where the powerband hit right before a jump. Got a lectorn carb it smoothed out the power delivery and made it so I didn't go nose high every jump unexpectedly.
you gotta break tap a lot on two strokes, I learned that the hard way lol.
Brake tapping works but also you don't usually want to go into the powerband when giving a little more throttle coming off the face of the jump
Love the videos keep up the good work. With practice, you can achieve anything🤙🤙🤙
Oh so I didn't ride like shit in this video? Nice to see it's not another negative comment from you
@@DerekHallman huh? why you being so toxic I didn't comment any negative but okay 😂
@@mlakarx2931 ok guy all you're previous comments have been about how I dont know how to ride the bike and I'm going to destroy it. I get hundreds of negative comments/hate-mail every day, but I remember all the names 🤘
@@DerekHallman u understand it wrong cuz i said pls try not to brake with a engine i didn’t said you ride bad idk why you’re so mad😌
@@mlakarx2931 not mad broski, just pointing out the facts 🤘
Not sure if someone has already told you this, but especially with the 2 strokes your throttle has to either stay on or off. I hear you slightly blip the throttle on the lip of the jumps which cause you to air wheelie. Hope this helps :)
Nice riding
Thanks Josh 🤘
Have you ever done the vales on ur kx?
Hey can I ask how you got over your initial fear of jumping? ho did you ease into it? any tips? I feel like im constantly worried about it. Thanks.
Do you like the ktm 125 im thinking about getting it for my next bike
Glad to see you loving the 2 stroke! Taylor told me you guys were riding Roberts that weekend. I took my son to CCDR instead. Better place for him to get used to the 65. WE WILL LINK UP ONE DAY lmao.
I gotta get back out to CCDR soon! Do you guys go their frequently?
@@DerekHallman we have only been a few times now. But its the perfect track for him to learn and practice on. May be going sunday.
Just got 2020 Ktm 250sx never ridden track is that a bad idea ? Going this Saturday any tips
I see what you mean about handing jumps different. I’ve been raised on 2 strokes my whole life and just recently got a 21 Crf250r. So much different
Better or worse? I'm thinking about getting either this Ktm125 or CRF250F..
@@King_Henry_V the 250r is definitely faster (I’m assuming you meant r not f)
Dope man got the same bike🤙🏼
Nice how do you like yours?
@@DerekHallman love it so much only thing is they are high maintenance especially with the air forks but the bikes super light with a super fast engine
Air wheelies are the best thing about over revving a two stroke on jumps, just lean out over the bars and grip with your knees, the bike will do the rest
Nice riding where is that?
I'm either gonna get a KTM 125sx 2 stroke or a 150 2 stroke. Any recommendations?
I weigh 220lbs and 125 is almost more power when on the pipe than I can handle. You can always add the factory 150 conversion if your experience is different than mine. I vote 125, I think it will do what you want it to do.
You see, when you hit jumps with full throttle you should use your back brake and clutch to bring your front end back
If everyone was perfect and ready for every situation in the world mistakes would never happen 🤷♂️
The way I get over the fear of doing a jump is I don’t psych myself up I actually calm my self down and then just full send it
If your psyched up then you’ll crash if you’re calm everything feels like it moves slower and it feels like you’ve got so much time to evaluate your situation around you while you’re in the air
Is it jetted?
Nice
Makes me want a 150 kit for my YZ
Go for it dude! this 150 fuckin rips
Where is that track?
good shit bro. steady throttle all the way up and use them knees to squeeze. i wanna see those white side panels turn black at the end of the day!
Don't worry those side panels look like shit at the end of the day lol! For some reason I have a bad habit of letting go of my tight squeeze on the face of a jump. I squeeze the bike hard everywhere and then I seem to get loose as I'm jumping haha gotta focus on fixing that
@@DerekHallman no worries man take it slow and easy. this isn’t a sport to just send it so don’t worry. we’re all just having fun out here. if ur up to it i’m sure there’s some guys around ur state who have some classes. the prices can be hefty at times especially if they’re 1-1. they are worth it though. if you get a full weekend class you’re riding will improve so much
yeah jumping on a smoker is way different than a 4 stroke, I basically had to re learn jumping
Im having issues coming off jumps front end high on my new 150 compared to my 250sxf..thinking about making the rebound a little quicker in the rear to try and flatten it out off the lip maybe? I always had to rev up my 250 in the air to lift the front end so its very hard getting used to the opposite. Not to mention super scary haha
Yeah they definitely jump differently. I think we really need to maintain good form and correct position on the bike on these 2 strokes otherwise shit can get a little hairy haha. What I found worked for me on this track was to go as fast as possible up to the jump then go off the jump in a high gear/low rpm with a very light blip of throttle. 5:14 is a good example. I actually had to get on the brakes to slow down for the jump then I kept it in a high gear and just barely blipped the throttle. Did you recently get a KTM 150 also?
@@DerekHallman yes i just went from a 250f that ive had since 2008 to a 150 that ive only taken to a track with real jumps once so far so ive been super intrigued at your videos lately haha. Im going to try that technique. My carb isnt tuned properly yet (i got a lectron) so blipping the throttle wasnt an option in mid range rpms because it would bog. I had to hit the jumps wide open or just roll fast into them and hit them like a mountain bike. I feel like the technique youre using will be a good middle ground. These bikes are so light also that body positioning is a huge factor as well.
Could you tell me more about your experience with the lectron? I was thinking about getting one but it sounds like you are having issues. What year is your bike?
@@DerekHallman all ive read was that its a no brainer to get one on a 2 stroke. I got my bike used (its a 2013) and the carb just wasnt tuned right. Thought i might as well drop the money on the lectron while im restoring the bike since i plan on this being another 10 year bike. I havent put enough time in trying to tune it properly and only made 1 attempt so far. But what i can say is it literally took me 5 minutes to change the tuning on it. I highly recommend it and i know i will get it tuned properly when i put the effort in. Your bike seems to be running fine though i dont think id drop that kind of money on it if my bike was jetted properly unless im riding at a lot of different elevations. What state are you in? I do plan on doing trips out west to ride and wouldnt want the carb tuning to get out of whack which is another reason i got it.
Insane Power for a 125cc :o
@74 CYCLES I expected nothing just say that the power is insane
@74 CYCLES which microphone for gopro 3 plz ?
Hello i from CHILE, i loke sou mach your videos and your channel no se si vas a entender lo que escribo ahora pero no se mas ingles "Saluditos desde chile"
I have the 250sx bored to a 300cc the first time I hit a nice size jump i straight Ronnie Macced it the power band kicked in right when I was about to leave the lip,and it is easy to slid out on corners on a 2 stroke ktm but i learned how to hit jumps on a 2-stroke after i busted my ass ripped a pice of plastic off twisted my handle bars lol but that ktm 300sx runs like a bat out of hell,and does anyone find a ktm 2-stroke louder then other 2-strokes.
Getting famous off of comments day 142, so I can live the dream, live life to the fullest .🤙🤙🤙
Bro when your back tire is about 5ft off the ground, lay on the throttle makes the ass end drop down so when u hit u go. Sit midway on seat and let her eat boss.
Gotta always be ready to brake tap it on a 2stroke
I wasn't ready 🤣
Hi ur vids r fire 🔥 so Gucci but if u ever say ur a peace of garbage don’t cause ur like a cake good looking really nice and when u fall down u get right back up cause ur strong and ur so nice cause when u fall u don’t curse and I like those people and we love ur vids believe ur self never ever fall down and not get up u all ways get right back up and u help people when there hurt u help them u ask if there ok so all of that makes u the best dirt bike rider we all know ur a pro btw we love ur vids keep making the best vids🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🤩🤪🤪🤪😛😛😛😛😋😋😋🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ u make the best vids. And I really wish I could ride with u but I don’t have a dirt bike😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😩😭I really do wish I could be with u.
Sounds like when ur jumping your letting off and than blipping the throttle when your jumping you gotta keep a steady throttle especially with the 2T powerband
No I am actually slamming on the brakes before the jumps then using throttle at the top to not nose dive. If I maintain a steady throttle at the speed I'm going in the straight up to those jumps I will overjump most of them by 30+ feet.
@@DerekHallman Haha send it!!!!
need to take the rear brake at the air!
@74 CYCLES need to see you write in perfect german.. think you can't
When you get back on a four stroke after learning 2t you will be faster again .
hold the clutch in when your not giving it gas otherwise your starve the engine of oil and its bad:) just a heads up no shit talk. i ride both 4 and 2. no beef
otherwise youll***
Hey man, do you prefer a 125 over a 250? I have a Ktm sx 250 but its so fucking fast😅
Both 2 stroke*
Yeah on a motocross track I 100% prefer the 125/150sx over a 250sx!
You are gone miss the kx
Not even a little
@@DerekHallman 😯
Uñyo thats roberts track and trails club i go there
Getting famous off of comments day 173 just trying to live the dream,live life to the fullest 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Can you pls post 3 times a week
Probably practice your jumping my dood, it's that same concept as jumping a 4 stroke they just have different working engines and 4 strokes are more powerful, keep up the great work man👍
Damn during a race if anyone loses it will hit a tree and getting f...d up or dead.
Just gonna take it easy goes 30 around the first corner
I have the same bike but Mines a 2016
Derek is it a 125 or a 150 Bc the graphics say 150 but your title says 125?
It's a 150 but I title it 125 because more people search for the 125. Briefly talked about this in one of my other vids, but its essentially the same bike 🤘
@@DerekHallman ok starting to look good on the bike man
Ronnie Mac style
Could u go trail riding with it
Yeah for sure! I'll get some trail videos soon
Do it go god
Miss your 250 yet?
Not even a little bit this smoker is so much fun. I actually like that it has less low end torque haha! My corners feel like they have gotten much smoother.
You honestly look better on the 125 compared to the 250, I have a ktm250 four stroke and when I ride my dads 300 2 stroke it’s so fun but totally different
hey so u probably won’t see my comment or reply to it but me and my step dad have been looking for a ktm 125 sx and i wanna know how much u would sell the bike for bc i’m selling my kx 85 for $2500 and then my honda for $1000 if i get lucky
Don’t blip the gas when your on the face of the jump try to stay steady in the gas
Video is old, check out more recent ones 🤘
Stand up in a 2stoke if you don’t stand up you will eat it. I only rode 4strokes and you could sit and be ok on a 2stroke you can’t bc it so light
I never sit while I'm jumping
On that one jump in the beginning of the video you were siting I could see your knees I’m just trying to help I’m a big fan and not trying to offend you sorry if I did
You didn't offend me at all man haha. I'm telling you I wasn't sitting down. I literally never sit when I go off a jump. The bike just came up so high and I wasn't gripping it with my knees so it looked like I was sitting in the air. Sketchy as poop!
@@DerekHallman man it’s cool I love your videos and I just stared riding a 2 stroke!
I recomend to go to charls city its better
Squeeze the knees!
Squeeze the cheese!
Lol the vids
Next bike
Husky 450 lol
2nd comment lol
1:53 grip with ur legs 👍
This comment is like watching a video of a Eli Tomac nose dive off a jump and saying "Tomac you should've used more throttle." Mistakes happen 👍
Derek Hallman Ik dude. It helps to know what u did wrong in those mistakes, I was just trying to help. Idk y u being sarcastic
@@jamespetch6294 I'm not being sarcastic. I just critiqued your comment same as you did my riding mistake. Why r u mad?
Derek Hallman not mad man. Critiquing critique is a bit sus tho😂
Derek Hallman cool vid tho as always 👍
two strokes have a longer gear than the 4 strokes do. the two strokes love being wound open held wide open all the time. another tip, also seems like you're shifting too early.
You need to go to go to better track
Can you do a face reveal
No
1:47 Ronny Mac no.2
Man, you need a new GoPro!
Why?
@@DerekHallman because hero 9 is awesome! and it takes your videos to the new level! 😎
p.s. you can check my last vid, it's filmed on H9
@@funky_juice86 Any new gopro mic quality is poo poo. My colors still look great and possibly better than the new cameras. I wouldn't use stabilization because it looks unrealistic in my opinion. I don't need any high frame rates because I don't use slow motion with my gopro. I film a ton of videos and if I used 4k my computer would go bonkers because each ride would film 100+ GB of footage. Most viewers watch on a phone screen that is only 5 inches wide anyway so no need for the large pixel sizes. Rather spend money on bikes and fun-having 😁
