Rode tomahawk yesterday nov 7th. Fantastic prep. Tons of riders, track got super rough n gnarly. All of AJs videos of riding techniques made riding a track that rough n gnarly and scary for most fun and a blast. Thanks man
Thats Awesome man!! He is by far the best Pro at giving riding clinics and explaining how to do things in detail! He has helped me tremendously as well. Glad you had a fun ride and was safe!
I drove south afterwards to ride my mt bike at Bryce bike park. Had Monday the 9th off which I was 30 minutes from my house on a 4hr drive to have a friend call to tell me Aj was doing a clinic today and I should've stayed to find out if I could've participated 🙄
I was able to pick up on your throttle timing for the jumps. Haven’t been a track guy since 97. Rode Glen Helen a 5 weeks ago and was afraid to get air. Used to clear the 60’ tabletop no problem. LOL, I checked up in front of any lip. I know I’d have confidence on anything I’ve done before because muscle memory would take over. On something I’ve never done, I guess rolling jumps and getting a few small ones in will help regain my confidence and lead to being a decent jumper again. So hearing your rolls versus launches has kind of re fired my old memory. 61 and still hitting dirt twice a week
I got butterflies just watching you roll that face for the first time. That's a booter, and you made it look easy. Knowing you can clear a jump, but just not committing is such a bummer after a ride. So much respect for anyone that can overcome that.
@Crmsn i know right sometimes your like yea i gotta be gettin it and then while in the air your like i gotta be holding the fuck on this is gonna be a rough one lmao
Ive been riding since I was 3 yrs old (1989) and followed you throughout your career as well. Ive always cheered for you an thought you were so naturally talented on a bike with Awesome body position,flow,speed. I also thought after 30 years of riding I knew quite ALOT but after watching your videos I realized all the small things I was doing wrong an now have Improved immensely!! Thanks!! Keep up the AWESOME VIDEOS!! BE SAFE!!
@@AjCatanzaro You are right never stop learning and NEVER give up!! Good luck in the future too! Oh btw do you still have the Stewart replica 125?? That thing was SICK!!!!
Awesome. So useful and easy to understand. And for anyone considering it, sign up for Patreon, $2 a month... can't get any better value for that to support a great guy totally supporting the sport we all love.
You ate the whole only person I have seen that also runs the vortex bars..I have them on my crf 250r amd they are some beefy bars and honestly I love them so much..mbrest bars and super strong and zero vibration and all around amazing stuff
So, I am a quad guy. (I know. Don't freak out bike dudes :) and all of the same advice/technique applies. So glad I found your vids. It really does seem like you are speaking directly to some of the issues I have such as checking up at the last second on bigger jumps, etc. Great value and thank you sincerely for your instructional series. It really helps me out.
Love your content man! Ive been a huge Kawi fan since 91 when I got my first 91 KX 80 2 stroke. Its been a long line of nothing but Kawi's since. Good luck this year my man!
That takes incredible experience and talent - worked up to gradually. Anyone not racing and winning at least in Intermediate has no business on that jump! That's how people get seriously hurt. I would like to see it as a table top so if something goes wrong, you don't bite it.
Finally earned some money and bought kawasaki kxf250. last time I was riding 4 years on Suzuki 85. And always was a little scared of jumping. watching your videos kinda thinking what I am doing wrong and learning. love to Jump but scared 😅. keep up the good work.
I'm really liking your videos. I had a question as to why everyone whips their bikes out to the side when they jump? I never see anyone straight jump anymore.
AJ is in great shape... yet even after only 8 laps around he is showing what non PED racer would look like after a few laps... The top pros look like they just walked out of there tour van after a NIghts rest, and this is RIGHT AFTER they did a 40 MIN OUTDOOR PRO MOTOCROSS RACE!.....
ive never jumped something big before, obv takes practice but i never understand how you know how much speed you need to clear a jump perfect everytime
Hey Aj, could you tell us sth about these Evs knee pads you are wearing and why you don't wear custom braces? Or is there a video about this issue yet? Thanks:)
Know a lot of people that run knee pads instead of braces. Most braces aren’t comfortable and just get annoying. Don’t know if that’s why he doesn’t wear em but to each it’s it’s own is all it is brotha
So you don't wear any type of chest/back protector? Also, it seems that a professional racer doesn't need more than 3 gears for the AMA Pro SX series? Thanks for the video!
Oh man... i remember first time i went to a race, was on a 80cc, and couldn't remember the track, so i mistook a jump, and just revved it in 4th or so. Got huge air, and landed straight down next to the jump, right beside the track. Smashed into the side, flipped the bike over my head(so i've been told after), and only bruised my arm a little. Didn't ride more that day
@@AjCatanzaro I was so happy when I got the little promo sponsor on hookit. Need to get me a new kit for this season, I may be slow but I will look sharp 😁😎
Would love to be able to Simulate that at 50 percent lol went up chimney rock in Tucson for the first time what a work out and had a couple control lay overs and one real good wheel but didn’t let go of bike.
I known at one point you lived in Reston, Virginia, Do you live Martinsburg, WVa now so you can have less travel distance to Tomahawk MX and be close to a airport? I Enjoy your videos and I do not ride or race MX, or SX.
@Aj: great vid thxalot. If you are going to overjump or case a big jump,how do you prepare in the air for it the hard impact? I mean body and food positioning, straight or bent knees, throttle, front or back wheel landing first or both at the same time etc? why i am asking...i already had 2 serious injuries while overjumping on time and another time jumping to short. highly appreciated your feedback and thoughts on this topic! thxalot
Bro you hit all jumps wide open 6th gear. You will get a first hand arial view of the jump. Collect the data in the air. After you flat bottom you can use your recovery time to plan out the proper speed for the jump. 👍
hey AJ, i noticed you have what looks to be a third degree AC separation without operative repair. i had the same injury 3 months ago. i race enduro mtb and wondering how long ago you had the injury and if you’ve gone down on that shoulder again and how it held up? thx for any reply
I separated it in Australia in 2014. It healed extremely quickly and was back to 100% strength within two months I would say. I’ve crashed on it many times, and it holds up great!
The biggest difference between a pro doing a big jump for the 1st time, & a local amateur, is a pro gets to see & actually be involved in how the jump is built, the degree of the lip, the distance , everything. Us local amateurs get to just see that new huge jump that wasn't there last week, & just send it! Lol
Haha that’s not true! We just show up and race. Although the tracks are professionally built, so you know things are built correctly. Where a lot of jumps at local tracks are not safe .this is my own personal truck so I was involved in the building of the jumps
@@AjCatanzaro ik, lol...that was meant to be more funny than true...plus I'm just mad that I wasn't good enough to become pro, lol! I have nothing but admiration for any rider that puts in the work & dedication necessary to make it to the pro level...RESPECT! This was actually some really cool insight into how a pro goes about attempting a big hit for the 1st time.
It’s just the natural rebound of the suspension doing that. Unweighting your pegs in the air doesn’t do anything otherwise. More so just riders relaxing
I have the same knee pads but don't have the sleeves u wear under and the back of my knees hurt so bad after 40 min on the bike. do u think having the fabric under would help?

Mind over matter for sure. It’s only a 2nd gear hit too. He definitely makes it look effortless
you really cant think. just got to understand what youre doing, visualise it. then just say "yep" and send it without thinking
@Crmsn i know right sometimes your like yea i gotta be gettin it and then while in the air your like i gotta be holding the fuck on this is gonna be a rough one lmao

A good advice is to have someone else with you and not be alone.. even if you're experienced things can go wrong
Just building a new track with a few jumps that are bigger than our local track. This couldn’t be better timing!

I can already tell ur gonna have a better year def got better practice track and we all know that helps
Once you hit the first long one. Gave me goose bumps. Couldn’t imagine hitting a jump that gnarly.
That jump is sick 😱
You ate the whole only person I have seen that also runs the vortex bars..I have them on my crf 250r amd they are some beefy bars and honestly I love them so much..mbrest bars and super strong and zero vibration and all around amazing stuff
I just built a 50' double today in Florida sugar sand, building the jump is nothing, it's that first jump !
Sick video and sick riding !
What’s up am I met you at suppercross in Oakland you signed my poster of you I’m a big fan

Aj man that’s a scary big and steep jump bro and you make it look so easy! Bad ass man!
Would love to see a video on throttle grip and then re-grip
Will do 👍🏼
💯 I’ve read tons on it yet my f@&$ing death grip won’t allow the change! I use my 2 patent grip styles: On the bike and off the bike. 🤷♂️
Always good stuff. Thanks AJ.

can you do a more detailed with you practicing on oval track. like where you brake - gas- foot drills - body + head - and how big is it.
So nice, you make it look so easy.
Sick videos mate much respect from Albany wa boy's Australia
been on oneal since 1989! the best !

Great video AJ
Track looks like so much fun
that suspension can really take a beating!!!!
awesome! Thx AJ
Sweet intro dude, it’s cool watching you grow since just a couple hundred subs 👌🏻👊🏻
Thanks! Growing fairly quickly, which is exciting!
Can you please do video that’s show how you warm out before riding and how you work out off the bike ..
Yep!
That was easy ? You made that jump look like child's play. Very impressive !
Big congrats on the O'Neal deal!
I'm really liking your videos. I had a question as to why everyone whips their bikes out to the side when they jump? I never see anyone straight jump anymore.
Looks cool an scrubs speed off so you can hit it harder without over jumping it
I've done 60 plenty but that takeoff makes that look twice as sketchy, you can have that one man
Shit these videos just keep on getting better thanks man 👍
Damn you make it look so easy! Wish I had your confidence on my bike! 🤘🤘
Hoping you do well on the upcoming season!!!
Thank you!
Great content, love watching the videos AJ. They’ve helped me a lot with my riding, and love your advice and riding tips
Aj,do you have any video to prevent arm pump.? Just get back from dirt bike since 2010...
That was great bruh I like the jump at the end. 👍
It's funny how that big jump looks nice and easy comparing to mtb jumping when you need to be precise on landing or you crash
AJ is in great shape... yet even after only 8 laps around he is showing what non PED racer would look like after a few laps... The top pros look like they just walked out of there tour van after a NIghts rest, and this is RIGHT AFTER they did a 40 MIN OUTDOOR PRO MOTOCROSS RACE!.....

I miss that jump!
Me too!
ive never jumped something big before, obv takes practice but i never understand how you know how much speed you need to clear a jump perfect everytime
That’s a booted right there 🌙
heh we got the same evs pastrana knee pads, i thought a pro would want a more sturdy brace, but this gives me more confidence to use mine
My dad and I built the flag stands for this track!!
ya me habia emocionado viéndote brincar la mesa, y cuando vuelas triple 😎😎😎😎
Nothing like hitting a new big double/triple.
Are you ever going to do a private class in Michigan,

thanks u help me out just got a sx125!! 2021
Wwhat are your nutritional plans for the day?
Nice watching from philippines
Why do you wear knee pads instead of knee braces
If he doesn’t have knee problems why wear knee braces?
@@Jim_jong_un to prevent knee problems
Because good knees still bend over backwards
Know a lot of people that run knee pads instead of braces. Most braces aren’t comfortable and just get annoying. Don’t know if that’s why he doesn’t wear em but to each it’s it’s own is all it is brotha
And thats why I asked for his opinion
So you don't wear any type of chest/back protector? Also, it seems that a professional racer doesn't need more than 3 gears for the AMA Pro SX series? Thanks for the video!
Super sick!
What's up from New Zealand, damn 2 gear wide open on a 450. They must be nuts to ride, I've only ever ridden 250's
You seem to approach without much speed and yet make it with ease. Are you accelerating hard up the ramp?
How do you like those EVS #199 knee pads? Was thinking about picking some up?!
Love the video
Oh man... i remember first time i went to a race, was on a 80cc, and couldn't remember the track, so i mistook a jump, and just revved it in 4th or so.

With the takeoff steep like you said you may not OJ it as much...you'll just have to hope you land ok so you can absorb the impact from a higher drop.
I known at one point you lived in Reston, Virginia, Do you live Martinsburg, WVa now so you can have less travel distance to Tomahawk MX and be close to a airport? I Enjoy your videos and I do not ride or race MX, or SX.

What gear are you in when hitting the triple? How do you like the hydraulic kawasaki clutch?
2nd gear. Absolutely love the hydraulic clutch
Most the Pros i ride with eye it up and hit it. To each his own.
In future I want to make big, but safe jump where to learn air control. mby u can give some advise.
The taller and longer the landing, the more safe the jump is

It’s just the natural rebound of the suspension doing that. Unweighting your pegs in the air doesn’t do anything otherwise. More so just riders relaxing
