    That deadlift example really helped me understand. I feel like I can apply that to anytime I'm on the bike so I don't feel like I'm falling onto the bars

    I love hearing technique broken down by someone who knows. The part that jumped out at me was the modulation of the throttle through the whoops. I always imagined a steady throttle throughout. Even though I might not be skilled enough to apply these techniques, it helps from a fan perspective when I'm watching the pros race.

      I actually learned from that bit as well I grew up on 70s 2 strokes mostly county trails with tight whoops small and super close so I just hit them full speed and get my ass up and normally do fine but this modern bike I have cant hit them like that the rear tires keep blowing so Im looking to upgrade now lol

    I think one important maybe most important tip you missed is Commit, commit and commit. Once you pick that line you’ve got to commit. Big problem lots of people have is they go into those whoops hesitant. It’s all in or nothing. Great video. Just figured I’d throw that out there.

    • @Cmillis003
      @Cmillis003 5 років тому +2

      Shawn Doucette same with me, once I learned to pick a line and a gear and just keep a steady throttle and commit, It was so much more consistent. I also had a bad habit of leaning too far back and wheeling the first 3-4 whoops which lead to it being harder to gain control after.

    Bike suspension setup is probably the single most important part of successful whoops riding (followed closely by rider technique and position). Especially higher speeds.

  • @BentTrails28
    @BentTrails28 5 років тому +3

    Great video ...When your first starting out on the whoops and get comfortable at a speed for now an body stance on your foot pegs.Set your rear shock rebound /compression faster or slower refer to your manual or talk with somebody at your pro shop that knows about set up. You will have to work on the front fork rebound / compression at some point for your speed to make the bike track straight you will feel the difference.Make big adjustments with your rebound /compression screws top or bottom not tiny ones 3 or 4 clicks sometimes five at first no half turns or one turn at first so you know the difference. Once you feel the difference then you can fine-tune. The faster you go the more you will have to a just your rebound an compression before you do anything else. Ride like that for a while and get used to the bike. Once you accomplish that then you can start setting up the bike with your springs rates then set up will start all over again with a few extra things. Rider sag an static sag.The bike will start handling better.There's a whole lot more techniques to this. Just a matter of time and practice and trial and error. Just FYI remember if you're new to woods riding you don't have time to measure up between whoops you deal with what's in front of you pick your line lol. So you have to have a mid balanced set up when woods riding or racing. A lot of other factors play into these set ups on both motocross and woods you will learn these in time.

    Throttle to keep the bike balanced makes a lot of sense. Half of the events in the Enduro series I participate in are 60%+ sand whoops. I always try to keep the butt back and hammer them but this is something I'll have to play with.

    On throttle control: I was also told to "keep the throttle steady" and never slow down throughout, which must be the beginner technique in order to survive through them, so what part of the whoop would you give gas vs. what part of the whoop do you let up on it? ...would it be to keep you from gunning it on the downside which would make you jump too high off the next one or something?...
