Chase, great video - thanks. I especially like/agree with your “don’t clutch when you downshift, especially on a downhill.” So true bro.

Tip # 6: Downshift your opponent that’s crowding you to your right into the first turn. He doesn’t need to pull in the clutch. You’ll find that really opens up the right side of the track for you.

Mx factory also mentioned not to use the clutch downshifting. I’ve always used the clutch downshifting because i didn’t want to ruin my trans, but if you say it’s safe off the throttle I’ll give it a try

Awesome tips Chase.one thing I never learned was how to "whip" the bike.my mx career was halted abruptly.keep up the great job.

Once I let the clutch out, I never used it again. EVERYONE told me I would ruin my transmission but it never happened. I wanted to shave lap times so what started as an experiment became the norm.

Very helpful thanks

I really like how they made a video of shifting on a MX track instead of just shifting. Also, I ride a big bore RM-Z 300 and the shifting is a lot different for a regular 250. The power band is WAY up there. Is it okay to short-shift if you have the power?

Is the downshifting for Any year of motocross Iv got a 2012 kxf450 and my son got a 08 yzf250 can we downshift

Great tips!

Staying in gear under braking should not be a habit for beginners in my opinion. Many riders never learn proper rear brake control because they just let the engine do it for them. Learn to fully control the rear brake, and once that's mastered, feel free to keep it in gear. This brake skill will let you use all your stopping power, and position the bike much better, specifically on wide berms and flat turns, because you can precisely slide the rear out while braking.

Someday I wish I can ride like Chase and be as cool as him too.

Hey Chase, nice video. At one point you said not to lift your foot off of the foot peg when shifting. But if you are riding on the balls of your feet you have to move your foot forward to hit the shifter. How do you do that without lifting your foot off of the peg?

Killer video. Perhaps I heard it wrong but are you saying you don't need to come off the throttle when up shifting? Sounded like just squeeze clutch and shift.

How do i know that i can shit up or down without the clutch? I got a yz450f 09

How about quickshifting? Or feathering the clutch….

Can you make a video on the Troy Lee designs se4 polyacrylite

Don't downshift on pavement from a high rpm with a bike that doesn't have a judder spring unless you want to leave a quick rubba stripe!

3:06 fox raceway!!!🔥 😎 😎

We dont have down hils in the Netherlands

Even with a 2006 CRF450R I can downshift without the clutch?

question, if you are up-shifting in the air do you have to pull in the clutch?

Does the no clutch down shifting applies to 2 strokes?

How about off the start? When starting in 2nd gear am I pulling in the clutch fast to shift up until I get to the corner? Or keeping the gas on and shifting

I ride a 2 stroke when down shifting do I still have to give the bike some throttle some people have said engine braking on a 2t is bad for the piston

Should i be shifting when im standing? Like in a strait or something.

What gear is that? I really like the collar on it!

Does the downshifting apply to a 77 Honda?

Hey I got a question if you are downshifting in the air will you bike go indo or will it stay level ? I don’t want to learn the hard way lol so I’d really appreciate the reply !

Howdy🤠🇺🇸

Can you free ride on a motocross track

You guys really use the clutch for up shifting? Never used in my life. And I guess nobody uses it for either down shifting or up shifting, at least in my world (Europe)

THANKYOU YOU JUST MIGHT SAVE MOTOCROSS? I AM NOT ALONE WHEN I SAY PEOPLE RIDING THE REV LIMITER ARE RUINING RACES!

REV-LIMITERS ARE DESTROYING THE TRACK SIDE RACE EXPERIENCE IT IS SO ANNOYING TO HEAR ALL DAY!
