Thanks for the video!! Im just startinf to get into racing and see i have a LOT to learn. 💪😃👍

Great tips for an old road racer learning to dirt ride in his old age!

I bought a Honda Cr250r 2020 and I’ve rode it on a few tracks, but Its my first bike and I’ve only been on it twice and these videos are really helping me out! Thanks for the content!

Awesome video mate thanks keep IT rolling 🏁🏁👌

I definitely need to work on my braking ratio because I hardly ever touch my rear brake, like once or twice a ride😬

KZfaq didn't exist when I started riding motocross. This kind of stuff could have saved me from injury.

Great stuff and eventually this will all come natural. Thanks for remembering all the new riders out there. These kind of tips are better than learning the hard way if you know what I mean. Cheers

This is helpful awesome videos and keep up all the awesome work

Hard breaking with locked front is good drill!

Will generally use the front brake for extra stopping power. When I do use it, it’s usually quick light taps because the front tire needs some momentum.

2:30 I’m the reverse. I found it much easier to start with front brake because I ride mountain bikes. The lever was more appealing than the pedal, but I need to use rear more

Great video, but to do it better could you please add a summary of the five tips at the end of each video? Thanks a lot

Big key is when u go out and practice stuff try and ride at least one day a week,if u don't ur muscles and your brain,the control center,will not remember what your practice d if it was too long ago,at least when you start out,try to practice before forget what u learned,I used to ride,when I was 15 years old I practiced on average 3 to 4 hours a day,when I got better ivstepped that up to 5 to 6 hours a day during school and when school was out 10 to 11 hours a day,hey most of y'all probably would be able to do that.I was lucky my Honda could take that much if I would have had race bike I would have needed factory support and 20 bikes back in the 1978,I did that for 15 months till I got a car.Have fun.one of the biggest things that helped me was a pro instructional video...they really helped after watching. It...I started looking at the way my friends ride and thinking dorks are so clueless...and so was I.

What's about revs up technique on the braking and downshifting. It's prevent to block rear. Is it good idea for dirt bikes or not?

No you got it good,I just listen to u and think of what I've done and learned,to add stuff to this but I like that drill,about braking and carrying moment without using the gas at all that really the trick,I see so many riders so hard on the rears and there moms second cousin sister husband the second one told them never to touch the front brake,he neglected to tell u once u get a little better u can start using it a little at a time,its important to have good even firm pressure on both hand grips while using the front brake and be ready to counter steer a slide keeping ur weight back is so true dirtbikes have a lot of suspension travel and u really have to exaggerate moving your weight back to over the rear because much weight goes forward on its own,being smooth on the brakes is the safestvthinh u can practice it takes time...I remember the first national I watched Binghamton N Y,BROOME TIOGA super fast down hills these guys were amazing seem less and I was so jealous of how good pros were on the brakes,I grew up and started on a four stroke,in 1978 ish,and a four stroke engine braking is like ABS in your car its such a good natural brake if u learn to brake as good as the downshift you will on your way,practice is key and patience a little at a time starting out on a flat piece of ground and learning how to get your bike to turn and then using the brakes at the same time is something that should be auto magic,so practice and repetition is key,timing is what u need to develope,when u are new your sense of timimg will be rough,so practice...I was lucky I got a old Honda four stroke and my parent had an acre and half and I was allowed to use half of it for my own motocross track it wasn't to fancy just a good 40 feet wide by 187 feet long oval that allowed me to almost get to 5 gear as I got better and I had a real good variety if six or so different size berms or turns that I made by riding that kept it changing so u don't get lazy sitting in the seat,one of the things I did early in my riding career was practicing flipping the track and turning the other direction to the right with ur foot up which really put pressure and makes u focus on balance,a lot of riders as fearful of this as using the front brake,what wimps...why would they put a front brake lever right there next to the throttle if it was important,hello MCFLY,keep your elbows up,just secret watch the pros when ever u can notice what they do different and try to notice their body's position in certain places and you will find it will help,start slow and learn to master the bikes controls before u think about going faster...it a gradule process,don't get hurt and ride for life.

Is trail braking a viable technique for MX? I see that he does not trail brake, but road racers do.

Hey one big safety tip I will suggest,if u are going out for you first time on a motocross one thing I will share with you for safety is two things to watch out for:number one is:it will be wet if u are out in the first session so be careful because it will be extra slippery if its your first practice ride.number 2:if there are a lot of riders and u have a soft track it will be really rough as the day gets later a ton of riders all brake in the same spot in every turn so be ready for level of roughness to increase and the bumps to be twice as big as the first session or bigger,so watch for really bad holes,and if its muddy try to stay in the rut or take a differentvline before u get to the bad holes. Because if your in deep ruts you are not going to get out easy before get to a hole u trying to avoid....God for bid your at one of those tracks that loves to over water the track,just be careful,one thing I learned very quickly racing on soft dirt,a real motocross track get way rougher than a trail or your woods track,because ofcthevnumber if riders and the skill of PROS tearing it up,fortunately I like it super rough,but it a surprise be ready for...dang ride a line on the track don't change line like a drunk driver,if u ride on the right side if the track and have a problem pull off the track to the right,don't go shooting across to the left,and especially don't change your line before a jump get away from the jump before or after it a ways before. U pull off,be aware of where u are on the track and remember there are fast riders coming up from behind u and they are expectant u to be in one spot when they come by so just take it slow and steady u are not the only one on the track....just mainly be aware if how rough it will get and get your body position ready for bumpy stuff stand. Get ur legs ready to soak up hard hits....don't slam the brakes on either steady gas,believe it or not learning to use the gas smooth out the rough stuff when u learn how...plus body position...another thing too is if your local track go-ahead and get a good set of racing tire s for that soil, a 990 for soft,752 for mixed,if its hard pack get two good front and rear s,that will make a big difference in controlling your bike,biggest tip don't ride your new tire on the pave ment u just wasted a 100 dollars,because u ruined your new soft terrain tire for use in the mud,that hadda hurt...piece out.

Practice being as smooth as possible when applying the brakes and throttle. Don't stab the brakes or whack the throttle wide open. Be smooth with everything so your suspension is settled and balenced.

who else things the 16-18 KXs looked better than the 19?

im wondering about one thing, i saw and heard people telling you dont need clutch when upshifting or downshifting, tryed it couple times without clutch, it goes easy, but wont that damage the bike? i got yamaha yz450f 2009 4 stroke

I would like to add break adjustment to get you breaks reacting like you want them.

En los baches antes de la curva como es conveniente frenar?

Ive got a brand new bike and i feel my rear brake doesnt have the stopping power of my front brake. Are all bikes like this or should i adjust my setup?

I have a hard time using the front brake. Fear is a helluva drug.

I ride a yz 125, should i pull in the clutch while braking?

Jesus Christ that exhaust is huge on that kawi😂

Thnx for video very helpful. Anyone can guide me wheres from i can get right front frok for my WR250F 2009 My friend is also in long Islands he can purchase it for me. I'm from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Alot of this advice is specific to already-prepared, well-maintained, heavily-used tracks. How does braking differ on an empty trail in the middle of the forest?

does this work for enduro ?

Great vid when you're riding a 2 joker make Shure u don't engine break it's bad for it

Don't think I've seen a video from Rocky Mountain from Milestone before.

When using the downshift to help brake into a corner be nice to your transmission I was so bad luckily I didn't hurt mine Honda makes a good strong bike I did my best to try and kill it...

I'm a shit dirt rider so I'm really curious about this. Why would you want to give up 10 feet of braking before the turn? Is trail braking not a thing on dirt? Seems like if you have 10 feet of coasting, you could gain time every corner by moving your brake marker closer and not using any time coasting.

my hydro. front brake is shot from stoppies

So break a little bit before the turn 🤔

I did this and flipped over the handlebars. What am I doing wrong ?

But I’m on a 2 stroke

Im on a 85 and i use engine braking

But don’t brakes slow you down?

Alot of these things become instinctual over time if a rider just takes the learning process knowing his own skill and practices good common sense.

That kx stock pipe looks too big for the bike

That silencer kills the look of the bike. Just looks way, way out of place.

Engine braking is soooooo important and often overlooked when newbs get on a big powerful machine. I do mostly enduro riding with alot of steep grades and can't imagine not using the engine to control the bike.

I took the breaks off my 2019 yz450f, I don’t need’m they just slow me down.💪

using motorcycle brakes are usually considered a coward's activity , when in doubt gas it up ;) BTW you forgot about trail braking.

4:15 Sorry mate... getting all of your braking done before the corner is not the best or most efficient way to ride. Trail Braking is hands down, the best method.

Important!!! Dont use the clutch, when you’re breaking!!

4 strokes break themselves 😂

So you don't jus squeeze the shit out of em?

maybe it should be mentioned for 2stroke noobies that its dangerous to engine brake a 2 stroke.

To get faster you must be slower

Take your brakes off your bike. You don't need them
