Thank you guys so much for watching! What was most helpful? And how did you learn to master jumping? Let me know, down below!

When I was a kid, before KZfaq was even an idea, the only person I could ask “how do I jump” was my dad. In his infinite wisdom he said “”pin it with balls” I remember that day on my KX80, I took that advice, needless to say I shot to the moon, and landed in the sticks 20-30 yards from the track. Lmao. Wish I had this video back then

Your body position tips are great. I see too many beginners that don't grip the bike with their knees and legs. You are a natural instructor.

Hey Ronnie, hope you see this! One thing I struggled with was the bike "bucking" a lot. For those of you that don't know, that's when the rear end bucks up and you nose dive into the landing. Finally one day at a track one of the guys who had been ripping it all day rode up to me and said "Dude, you're jumping in too low of a gear. You need to up shift and lower those RPMs before you jump". To this day that has been the best advice I have ever gotten. I was on a YZ250F and took most of my jumps in high second gear. Once I started shifting into 3rd before hitting the face of the jump and gassing it all the way through I never bucked again. Something else you can do to more safely do jumps is jump with a friend. What I mean by that is if you have a riding buddy or even someone on the track you see that has been taking all the jumps very easily, ask them for help. The riding community is extremely friendly, and almost everyone would gladly do a speed check with you. Just follow them through the jump, gauge your speed so you know you'll make the jump and most importantly follow through. The most dangerous thing you can do is slam on the breaks at the last second before you take a jump. Commit or don't try it at all!

"Find a safe jump"...Yes, best advice for a newbie. Too many times you see them hitting small, peaky jumps with erratic throttle control, usually blip it a couple times before the lip making them either go front high or nose dive when the rear kicks up. Long, mellow tabletops are the best for learning, something they can just hold the throttle steady and float over.

The drone shots though 🔥🔥🔥 great video 👍🏼

The tricky thing of why its important to listen real carefull to Ron is u have a 220 pound motocycle that has a pogo stick in front an in back if u dont cover weight evenly or control one or other they will fight against u an make things really tuf...like imagine riding sitting to far back an no weight on the front it would be hard to make a turn with no weight on the front wheel jump and its even more important...flat landings are a good safe start till u learn ur bikes attitude of how it flys...patience everyone learns at different speeds dont let friends push u

Thank You Ronnie Fiasst. I grew up Riding Dirtbikes over 20 years ago as a teenager. It has always been my Passion. I have a 70MPH 2-Stroke Seadoo XP and a 300 Hp Supercharged RXPX for the Water. Obviously different than Dirtbikes. Last November I just bought a Running Vintage 1990 Kawasaki KX250. Everytime I Ride it ( For Me) it's like stepping into that Narnia Wardrobe into a different world. A different experience everytime that I love. I'm about to Gear up, boot up, Helmet up and Jump. Your Video does Help. Thank You. Always Ride Happy!

Good Job with the beginner Riding tips!! Keep em Coming!! God Bless!!

Thanks for the sick video bro! Even as a vet rider it’s nice to see vids like this to go over the fundamentals again!

Just got into riding MX, ridden road bikes for more years than I can remember. Only rode an MX track for the 4th time ever the other week, this is really gonna help me with being able to jump bigger. 👍👍👍

The best tips I've seen, thank you.

Been riding moto for years but never could jump with confidence. The body position tips to be over the front was the most helpful. Thank you!

Just bought a bike and was looking at how to jump, this was the most helpful video that I found, thank you!!

thank you so much been needing this~!

Thank you Mister Faisst. This kind of videos are gold for us. Keep going, great great job 💪🏻

Love that there is good FREE training available for riders nowadays. Nothing wrong with paying for training either. Just so many weekend warriors, and even aspiring racers simply can't afford a two or three day training course with an instructor. This is absolutely crucial to grow the sport. To help lessen the danger to everyone, when there's riders on a track or trail that simply have no idea how to ride a bike properly. It's scary how many riders don't even know there is a right and wrong way! I manage a dealership, and far too often people act like they know how to ride. As soon as they sit on the bike, it's clear they don't. Technique before speed. Thank you for this! I'll be recommending your channel with the others I already recommend for now on!

thanks man gonna remember these tips on my mind next ride!! liked and subscribed!!

Hey that was really good video without any bike noise or music it made listening to ur teaching much easier...ecellent job...

Yes grasshopper u must flow like water my cricket...im glad someone finally brought the landing angle theres a really important reason for matching the landing i was a big McGrath fan an when he was at his peak he really nailed the angle of the landing if ur landing gonna have to slow for a turn or accelerating aways it helps both ways plus the proffessor GB says big landing forks first then the rear...thanks Ronny nice camera work great clear easily understood talk...its hard to sometimes explain because MX is a do it learn it physical...thing u have to feel what ur doing....peace

Best vid I’ve seen on this. Thanks!

Nicely done, you hit all the top points and made it clear why they matter. The squeezing the bike from the toes to the knees has really built my confidence in that it really helps eliminate the scary movements you might get on a rutted face. Thx

This is good stuff.. growing the sport with tips..

Thanks for the video i will try it

Hey man...I appreciate everything you have done for motocross/fmx!! Definitely helped fuel my riding watching you and everyone else push the limits!! ✌

Thanks for tips!

Ronnie, such a great explanation! Thank you!

I'm just getting back on the dirt after a 35 year break of only street riding (ZX-14R) and these are great tips for both a beginner and for someone who used to take these things for granted but hasn't for a loooong time. Great vid. (54 on a YZ250)

Awesome video!! All the tips were helpful, especially body positioning and throttle control. Thanks Coach! 🗣huddle up..!!!!!!!!!🤣

I was being real critical listening because moving forward when u come up short instead of dropping back on the seat when landing short was the biggest an safest thing i learned..an once i did it i realized how elite a group of racers i had just moved into in the 90s no one had a clue about that beside mac emig windham 5 or 6 guys it wasnt many out of the top 100 national pros 90 were not doing it....right...peace very well done nice track nice dirt real dirt blackness....im from near Unadilla NY so i get excited when i see real dirt loamy stuff

Thank you for sharing sir....

good video..showing my nephew who is a local pro off roader but struggling with jumps...thanks bro...merry christmas

Great Video!!

Awesome vid mate! Regards from New Zealand!

Great video!! Great tips!!

I want to try this sport🔥

Great Video thank you . Need to learn to keep the gas on ..

I like how you gave you perspective of being almost too far forawrd a lot because I’m 150 on a 250r and i feel very far over the bars on the face too when most people say the whole neutal position I feel better atleast on bigger jumps now lol

Great informative video. Thank you

Thanks for the tips. Cool video

just want to thank you for the FANTASTIC video , super informative and very well explained. you have a new follower brother

glad to see your channel grow. NICE got me tuned in ,

such a great video. keep up the amazing work!!!!! btw ive been wondering who built that track. thank you for making this video👍

Real good video

Thanks

Thanks that was helpful

Very informative video, them big jumps are scary..

I do motocross and I normally do jumps quite well. I don’t get the chance to go very often and it’s weeks before I go from the last time so I kinda miss out on improving. Just recently tho I went to my main track I always go to after he changed the layout and I have never been so disappointed with my riding when I went Friday just gone. I was jumping over a jump and nosing it pretty much every single time where as before I used to hit it with quite some speed and take off and land smooth. Now I’m all over the shot and was getting extremely frustrated and put me off wanting to jump it after a few scary noses. I’m gonna try and practice my body stance a bit more and it hit me a lot with what you said about having the throttle on smoothly all the way through to prevent being bucked, that may of been causing it but god was scary. Wish I could go more often! That is my goal when my van is fixed to go as often as I can every weekend if possible.

I'm 8 years rusty or so and going to Carnegie on a new bike tomorrow so this helps me remember how not to die. it was a perfect video man thanks

Solid. Mahalo

I loved the tip with keeping the gas when hitting the jump so the suspension doesn’t buck me.

Just found your channel bruz: your a absolute legend bruh. Awesome tips and info

@Ronnie Faisst great video! I was thinking show a bunch of clips of you jumping, then after you have the jump clips do step by step commentary over top explaining everything your doing or going though your mind.

Big thing about being forward u have to be very forward when hit the gas it moves to the rear that was the one thing that made a big confidence boost was getting very forward an doing that row motion with elbows up real got me comfortable with the take a lot landing to same thing may be a little slower move...but same thanks

Ronnie! You should have been a teacher long time ago your videos make sense and are conceptual . I grew up watching all the Crusty movies And the Metal Mulisha . We need more faisst videos please 🙏

Also. Hi from Sydney, Australia!

Nice video brother

Just got my first bike, 2022 Honda crf250f, stay off the track until I have a race bike or use the f to learn on??

I asked my brother this very question my ktm65.... Moments later I was hitting a single 4-5th gear almost as fast as I could. Ended up going probably 20 feet and crashed. He had to ride it home.

Can you make a video about mx/sx race lines?

My first day at a track on a quad I find I keep landing in the middle is that because I’m not giving it enough? I’m close to clearing it but not really

Sweet videos

Great video Ronnie. The blue gear is looking fresh. Ya gotta throw your Markd and RFMX logos on your gear. Just my thoughts, either way keep these videos flowing.

Wow this is such a great KZfaq channel 👍🏻 hope to meet Ronnie one day

When your shifting in the air do you use clutch to shift up?

Hello my brother in Christ thanks for the video I had asked you last Moto Monday where I was front end High you gave me some great advice but this video really will help thanks so much God bless

Somewhere in the distance you can here Ryan Hughes screaming "Hiiiiipppppssss befoorrreeee kneeeessss!!!!!!"

Yeah where i been kid rock where u been thanks...i started riding in 78 an the pros werent jumping they were launching singles an landing how ever they landed there was much to learn Bob hannah was the only one to di doubles an i wasnt sure the way he rode in the late 70s if that how i wanted to jump...peace

Just went to my first time on a track not long ago, I swear this looks so easy but as a beginner this is so hard 😂

that looks like a nice easy track to practice on

The faisst show is way under rated, let’s get this dood more views an subs!

What about using the throttle and brake mid air to rotate the bike by exchanging angular momentum between the bike and rear wheel?

I quite like this video, it is very simple to understand!!!! Note the saliant points....your body postion COMMANDS the bike how to react and land with the gas ON!!!!

Good to see you helping the sport. Saw you at Elsinore last weekend....doing a class? Are you teaching now? Or were you just helping out some friends?

great tips...thank's for an old F$#$k like me (55) still riding but not much experience jumping...these tips are very useful...Peace from NB.

Thanks for a great video and good tips! I am a beginner and just recently done some jumping, I want to ask, why is it better to land in incline with front wheel first? For more momentum, or is it more safe? Thanks again! :)

great stuff| gas on

ronniez an og show respect

Instead of seat bouncing a jump, (which I never liked, but it does seem to get more distance when needed on a smooth track.), I use to bunny hop off the face like bunny hopping a bicycle. At first, I was sacred of the jumps as they got bigger, so I tried to clear them with the bunny hop and going slower, (not the best philosophy for racing), but as I got faster, I would be able to clear a double, (for example) from the inside line with some faster guys than me who couldn't.

You can apply throttle to the bike in midair if the rear end has bucked up too high for your liking. The increased wheel spin pulls the rear end down while you are in flight.

😂 At first I was like, “Jumping dirt bikes”...”by Ronnie Faisst”...”for BEGINNERS”.....gonna be some dead kids out there!😂. Naw, good video! So cool to see some of the OG’s (Faisst, Twitch, Deegan, etc...), one, still alive but mainly, matured into cool down to earth “family” type of dudes. I mean, they even have number plates on their bikes....with actual NUMBERS on them....🤷‍♂️👍

Great video. Not dirtbike related, but how did those hand tattoos feel? I'm looking to get one

So you hit the gas just as you land or just before? I'm thinking like 1 second before? Thanks

Great video! when people jump why Somefoks swing the trail of the bike? what is that's doing with ride?

How do you go upon attempting your first real double? What would you recommend would up my odds of successfully nailing it?

Hey man my biggest issue is throttle control and controlling the bike while in the air. Sometimes if the Jump is big I get scared and lose throttle and completely case it. I’m riding everyday and really trying to master jumping. Trying to get faster while at it. I’ve been riding for 2 years now. Any advice? Your videos are very helpful btw. Thank you!!

Someone told me to never hit the back brake while in the air, otherwise the bike will stall is that true. Also when should I start putting the throttle back on. I know riders will blip the throttle in mid air about half way should I do that then put the gas on again right before I land or just hit it right before I land I'm just worried about my bike stalling mid air or after I land. Lastly, what gear should I be in roughly second or third?

first time i did was on a cr500, almost died🤘🤣

I have one question.... when you're in the air do you keep applying throttle or let go when you land, also do you need to shift gears in the air? I need someone to explain in detail what controls I use in a jump...please let me know, thank you!

20 years later and I still look up to OG

Wish I had this kind of insight 25-30 years ago. It may have saved me 2 broken wristes at same time, broken ribs, etc. I do wonder though if I switch from the 250 2-stroke to 450f if it makes the throttle control easier?? I still find myself in those oh-shit moments from just a small inconsistency in throttle. Trying to practice in-air adjustments but can't seem to master it (panic rev, brake, lean). Maybe a video on such? There isn't any out there worth while. Thx for vids!

RF hit all points spot ON- safety being paramount- speed, height, distance is secondary and will come in time; basics first. If you master the basics first like RF teaches- the rest will naturally progress in time and practice.

How do you jump on a electric dirtbike (stark varg)

I just crashed hard today after a jump and destroyed my handlebars and my shoulder hopefully this helps 👍

do a vid for experienced riders. how to scrub, whip and what to do if bike goes sideways

camera work is great

Could someone help me with something that seems to be impossible to get an explanation on. What effect does turning the bars make on the bike in the air? I’ve looked, asked, and tried everything. I just can’t get an answer.

Any tips for jumping a 250 2stroke

Thank you mate, Cool as F☆☆k!!!!

I had a 1996 CR 250R the last honda with a steel frame....my 1986 CR 250R was the best...
