Missed it due to evening college class... great video. Something that id like to see, and possibly be good for other newbs like me. A video explaining what gear your in around the track, in turns, over jumps and when your shifting..say before turn, in turn, in air etc. Just an idea for content that in struggling with due to in used to riding road bikes that font rev at 13k. Lol
AJ, great words to live by. "If you are not putting your foot high and tight to the fender leave it on the peg". Having basic thought processes like that keeps me from overthinking things.
I;ve watched all of your videos AJ. I hit my first Motocross track this weekend after only getting my 06 Honda CRF250r one year ago. I had to repair it first and have only been riding it off and on every weekend for a hour maybe and not every weekend. You have helped me a ton. I wanted to communicate something I've learned this weekend.. I combined your instruction of squeeze the bike hard with your knees and high toe to fender in turns and that helps so much more in turns as well as not even having to think about lifting my toe and raising to the fender if I just keep squeezing the bike with my knees when I put out my leg. It automatically goes right to the fender! Can't wait to go back to the track already! Yes, I'm 43 and I'm a bit sore. lol But I rode every time my class (Vet C) went out on Sunday from 11am to 4pm. First go round I only did 3 laps with a 2min break in between the 2nd and 3rd lap. The rest of the day I stayed out riding until the checked flag was raised to call us in. Thanks a ton! ON TO THE NEXT VIDEO.
You're doing a really good job with this videos man! I have the same problem the big guy with kawi has, especially when I start to push, I tend to use more my upper body to turn. and then I drop my inside elbow, front end tucks and I messed up the turn. Do you have a practice excercise or further tips to avoid this mistakes? Many thanks
I’ve been kinda scared now that I’ve been back on the bike because I broke my leg going threw a corner and I had it up at my fender the back tire slid out from under me and the handlebar bent my leg back and broke my femur I was wondering how to prevent that and how to get over the fear of doing that
Aj, as far as feet on or off the pegs goes, what about in a sweeping corner where pegs are dragging and rollers start about halfway through? Standing or sitting with both feet on causes the boot to catch the ground but sitting is tough too because of the rollers wanting to kick you up off the seat. Thanks!
Dude the braking bumps at the races this weekend were crazy but was able to stay up and moving forward through them. I may be older than your usual students but I definitely want to get in one soon
I'm in the same boat. I'm 36 now but didn't start riding until I was 25. Sometimes I ride ok but when the track starts to get really beat up I tend to struggle a bit. It can be frustrating but I absolutely love riding dirtbikes. Definitely feel like I could use more instruction. Often I feel embarrassed getting smoked by younger kids on an 80.
In 1997 Hollister race track had Two Feet of sand put on top. AMP racing had to prep it. Corky and Jack worked all night. But still it whooped out. My son was racing 60 intermediate....the braking whoops from big bikes were so deep that all you could see was a kids head poke out of them !!! Around the big U turn was worst. Never seen anything like it. Hollister was forever changed that day, it went from a hard pack and blue groove track to a nice track.
Can you do some videos with you riding the track but explaining what gear you are and how much acceleration and clutch use with cameras showing would be so cool
How would you approach downhill braking bumps leading into a sharp turn at the bottom? I gave it zero throttle and floated through them the best i can. Would this be correct?
Is there anyway I can get lessons I live not far from tomahawk Mx and am doing the Mdra series this season. Would be grey if I could get lessons to improve?
Hey can you do a premier for your video so we can talk to you while it’s live. Kinda like the chat bar but easier I think. Love your videos thanks in advance
I'm a big fan love the school. I wish there was a way you could test my bike out and give me so feedback and ideas about upgrading components it's a Chinese dirtbike its called an egl motor A16 250 cc it cost me 2000$ brand new outta the box. Electric start full suspension with clickers if you get a chance take a look I think its absolutely awesome for the money. I'm 53 and have alot of injuries I'm due to have both my hips replaced and I'm hoping after those surgeries I will be able to ride again like I used to back in the day. Anyways love your school keep it up..... your fan Terry
Hey aj man I love your videos they have definitely been helpful been doing this sport for a long time now and have been looking too better my game and was hopeing that you could critic the heck out of a video of mine with things too work on for me please?
I always used to struggle with breaking bumps at Winchester because I would com at then and not attack them and hesitate for me it was just simply getting in attack position and charging them

Great videos on technique, CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO SHOWING HOW TO SET UP UR BIKE DEPENDING ON TRACKS, CLIQUERS, SAG, etc
Yes definitely can do that
@@AjCatanzaro I would like to see this also
*clickers
Jeez man. 3 uploads in the span of what like 26-27 hours? That’s crazy. Cool video topic though.
Nathan Bills have to keep people occupied somehow! Haha
Aj Catanzaro with all this corona nonsense going around, you are certainly right!
Thanks for these tips AJ, makes a big difference carrying momentum and flowing by keeping feet on the pegs
Thanks For All Your Help Bro Hopefully One Day I’m Coming To Have A Session With Ya ✊🏾

Have you done an episode on flat and or off camber corners?
Hi, awesome video! I was wondering if you could do a video/share some tips about how to ride an uphill with bumps?
Can you do some videos with you riding the track but explaining what gear you are and how much acceleration and clutch use with cameras showing would be so cool
Scary stump. Did you save it specially? )))
How would you approach downhill braking bumps leading into a sharp turn at the bottom? I gave it zero throttle and floated through them the best i can. Would this be correct?
You ride at Glen Helen?
Is there anyway I can get lessons I live not far from tomahawk Mx and am doing the Mdra series this season. Would be grey if I could get lessons to improve?
Wyatt Films emailed you
