Getting Started in Motocross : Ride the Whoops in Motocross

[BubsDood]

doesnt really matter how out of breath he is. He can ride and is pretty detailed in all of the training videos and thats all that matters

[bomtrue1]

@113cross just stop your not funny

[TheXcaliber223]

the funny thing is this guy looks slow on the whoops

[w0wrox]

i dont want to be fluid .... i want to be fluent

[Aloke234]

dirtbike seems to be totally different from pitbike. on pitbike i align to the very end of the rear bumper, on dirtbike saw them to align to only end of seat on kawasakis. totally different. on pitbike i count every last bump cause its so small lol. though it has power to go;=)

[113cross]

@Aloke234 dude, just stop talking. on dirtbike? really you know what a pit bike is for? so motocross riders can go take a piss. just dont even about this you have no idea what your talking about

[TheRossirepaerox]

@Aloke234 pit bikes are fun but dont jump em or anything because they are dangrous, and just snap and break, if i was you id get like a kx 60 or somthing, it will have twice the power and wont break

[Aloke234]

@TheRossirepaerox depends on the pitbike, really. for example take watch?v=ZrXBhoUqUkg that guy mike valade is the champion of mini mx and see how much he is jumping that thing. to jump with pitbike you must have balls though, because the front end is so much heavier so you really have to align to very dead end. last sunday i was on track with KTM 85's and I admit they go really well. I got a 150cc 4 stroke and that 2 stroke just flyed past me even that i was in 3rd gear screaming. ATM's snap.

[mishlzac]

@MXandATVmania1 i think he said he rubs his balls on his feet

[Kiqiboi]

It was hard enough to stop laughing after 0:30 ... But after 1:28 it was impossible :D

[CameronWoodward107]

@Kiqiboi Your Immature

[airsoftbravo271]

Dude, BREATHE

[TheJ0ker809]

1:28 lol

[SeRgIoInVaSiOn]

Does he run like 50 miles evey video

[114ktmrider]

@MXandATVmania1 he means the ball right underneath your big toe. haahah watch my crash and thatll teach you how to get fishtail in the whoops and break your ankle;) haha

[stuntman9597]

keep pressing 5 lol

[stuntman9597]

wut is a whoop de doo

[jjvanderzee]

trin make me rape my bike or some thing gay wad

[stressrelief9]

BALLS BALLS BALLS !!!!!

[intellectualretards]

he explained this better than he explained how to do a whip

[Rob21Pastrana]

i would rather not look like im rapeing my bike while rideing the whoops...

[13kawasaki13]

@Kawasakirider91 the same dam thing happens to me where the rear hend goes side to side I have a kx250f and I went through the whoops 3rd gear pinned and me rear end swung out and the crash didn't feel so good I broke my helmet and now I have a big scar on my arm so If any one knows any way to make your rear end not swing out it would be greatly appreciated

[angelofblood100]

1:29 T bag

[alexcameron1239]

balls on my feet? were are they

[xmyst3ryx]

@alexcameron1239 incase you are being serious, they are the little "padded" area right after your toes

[gablexfilms]

why is he out of breath?

[MidniteHazeHD]

@MXandATVmania1 ya u do dumbass look it up :)

[Drufix100]

i just started today on my 250cc yahamma and i crashed 2 times from jumping. can we meet at the cycle ranch one day so u can exactly show me. please call or txt so u can let me know at 210-428-0823

[rjdsw2810]

what the hell he fuckin just humped the bike

[bananapuffcream1]

Guys come on, It's for beginners. Everyone has their own way of riding, after a while you will tweak it.

[austin9088]

Would you still lean back if its a bump after bump bexause i noticed that right before rhe whoops there was a dip what if the track i ride dont have that ita flat than like 20 whoops...

[xxmynameisdarkoonxx]

Riding on the balls of your feet is actually very dangerous, especially on big jumps.

[rufus324]

@xxmynameisdarkoonxx yea, i agree... you can break your ankles!

[lolhi35]

hes means balls on ur feet fetish .... hehe

[Ariannagasser]

What do you mean by "Balls on you feet."?

[airsoftbeast8]

1:29 - 1:31 holy crap!!!

[heyu128]

lol he is air humping the seat

[BradenMurphy2]

what are the balls of your feet? your toes?

[krazykilla9]

@BradenMurphy2 the area of your foot just behind your toes

[aaronpwnz1]

i dont like to take hits to my balls):

[MrMasta23]

1:29 - 2:02 is how to bag a girl

[MrYammy4eva]

You have to strengthen your legs to have good controle

[mrlittlewhitekid21]

this guys a gonner!

[KawasakiRider91]

I lean back and try to have all the right positions and technique but the back of the seat keep smacking my ass and the back wheel starts to jump side to side. I think the main thing to clear the woops good is to just go fast over them, have the balls to go fast and u'll be fine. Too bad im scared shitless of whoops

[jts199]

@KawasakiRider91 ok if its a berm to whoop kind of set up then grip ur bars tight and wheelie and hold it through the whoops if u can if not then just squeeze the seat hard with your legs and keep control and just ride over them

[ProCircuitHonda]

10$ he is a C rider. lololololol But hey we all gotta start somewhere.

[outtacontrol44]

You dont want to tea bag the seat!

[ronaldo23ify]

wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[ronaldo23ify]

no homer simpsons!

[250rider7]

The best way to hit whoops is 7th gear powerband

[jts199]

@250rider7 7th??!! wat kinda fuckin bike u ridin??

[250rider7]

@jts199 haha dude it was a had 2 b there moment one of my buddies thought he had 7 gears in his yz 125 nd he said he was riding 7th gear powerband over this jump

[jts199]

@250rider7 ok wow i was freaking out there fer a minute

[shrtbxman]

@250rider7 Dude, I also know someone that has 7th gear. He's never said that but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. Every carb he "fixes" leaks, even if it didn't leak before.

[omamxc931]

who is this guy

has he finshed

[mxqueen9192]

just lean back and pin it to win it

[wwwmx101]

ronie renner tld me to just pinn it

[gusseted]

Is this idiot actually capable of finishing a single thought or sentence?

[crazyforpaintball]

if you keep on pressing 5 it makes it look like he is tea baging

[MrXela001]

i cant find balls on my feet !

[NaRCoTiiKHD]

Chad Reed. nuff said

[3poo1]

at 0:44 im so glad he said 'of your feet' at the end of that sentence

Thumbs up if you get it

[Anthrax3100]

ahahhahahaha land on ur balls:P

[swiftyboy001]

dude ur vids are great, but you should include more video foootage of you doing it because it will give people a better idea

[mrandmrskankyvidz]

hahah he said ballss!

[150peacemaker]

why would you be jumping off of a 10ft building?

[BiggW3bb]

Well if you refer it to jumping off a Small ten foot building then be my guest and jump off because im not doing it lol

[csebinski47]

when going over the whoops, what do u do throttle-wise?

[cna234]

@csebinski47 i wouldnt say pin it and i wouldnt say go slow either what i do is is keep it about in the middle

[csebinski47]

@cna234 do u pin the throttle at medium speed or feather it when u go over each whoop?

[cna234]

@csebinski47 i stay at high medium so the nose doest land in the valley of a whoop and mess yourself up

[csebinski47]

@cna234 alright thanks man

[cna234]

@csebinski47 no problem

[MetalHeadDirtbike]

Everyone says to ride on the balls of your feet. But my instructor tells me to ride with my whole foot on the peg but turned outwards so I don't hit the shifter. Which one is right? :/

[rockloverdude]

@MetalHeadDirtbike the whole foot would give you more control, but then again it's just personal prefrence

[phxxr650r]

I just got back into racing as my wife begged me not to race after Danny Hammels crash, She's gone now so im racing again. Thanks for your videos they really helped me to get back on my bike and do it the right way.

[JOHNNYGIX]

@punk4life13honda Always be in a tall gear BEFORE entering the whoops, 3rd or 4th. If you're bike is revving out in a lower gear in the whoops, the front will drop in the hole and you'll be eating dirt

[hamsterattack1357]

i didnt know i have balls on my feet....

[430motorcrossrider]

i clicked on this jus to see his bike... itz sexy..

[MrSaffa1]

@punk4life13honda maybe too much weight over the back wheel?

[harredanettkonto]

you wanna take the hit to your balls...

[billyman1221]

@harredanettkonto hahaha 

[TheLegitShlt]

@harredanettkonto Ouch?

[MultiAnthony96]

the best thing is to get up on the pegs sit ur ass as far back as possible and gas........ thats what i did the first time i whent in the whoops crashed once it works

[swinemask]

@MultiAnthony96 i find sitting on the handel bars and ur feet on the front fender helps ;)

[TheMotocross4life]

hey i can tell u guys this is to just get out there and start to speed up every run and get aggresive it will come natural and you CAN learn in a hour or less but more practice will master it , your style of practicing will start to mix into riding the whoops greatly!

[kopler1000]

i didnt know my feet had balls. thumbs up if u didnt kno either. man i know there hurting

[IIAbraham]

my fett balls are bigger than yours XD

[DJGTFO]

i do that with a montebike and it hurt my balls and i dont wont to thing what is in a

motobike 

[MrSaffa1]

@DJGTFO whats a montebike?

[DJGTFO]

@MrSaffa1 its a bicyclette with amortizators for off road

[kalbi333]

The best way to ride in the whoops is go full GAZ and pray

[pimpindeezhoes20fo7]

Could you web sling over the woops?

[m11tulaisuus]

 #LOL

[motomagnet09]

even his feet have balls

[frey43]

He's right. But when I hit whoops, or come around a berm and hit whoops, I usually try to jump and clear 3-4 whoops. And land right on the part of the berm that is going down, and I use it kinda like a landing ramp. And then I do what he is teaching you here. His technique is good. Use it.

[frey43]

This guy is a pansie.

[freakinidiot789]

yeah, do that style of riding then use two stoke bike.,. lets see if you can get through those whoops!!

[id009]

hey expertvillage thanks for being douches and putting useless words over the video... dumbshits

[ExTProDucTioNzZ]

This guy just talk

[worldtravel101]

JUST PIN IT!!! what have you got to lose? i mean come on, whats the worst thing that could happen #LOL

[Eliadaod]

Helpful to a newbie!~! I like the fact that you r stationary when talking There are plenty of videos out there with BLASTING music which is very distracting and the same video repeatedly happening...... I would suggest you ride for 30 seconds at the beginning and at the end of the lesson demonstrating what you are teaching.....

Good Job......You have and "anoiting " to teach.

[2003YamahaMan]

Lol at 1:29

[Nickthepunk22]

What the fuck is the lettering in the middle of the screen??

[shane25923]

dam he has a lot of vids

[hockeycube123]

1:28 tee-bag

lol

[mthardkore]

You never see this guy ride. He just talks.

[tpowell453]

Also, think of it as "attacking" the whoops. Usually a good idea to enter a gear higher than normal. Pick a line and stay with it. Get on the gas going in with your weight back and front end very light. Wheelie in is OK most of the time. When you feel the back wheel start skimming after the 2nd or so whoop, you're in the good zone as long as you don't let the front end drop. If you're going to crash, steer the bike to the side of the track with your body / knees and try to bail onto flat.

[tpowell453]

He means, that if you're on the balls of your feet, your ankle acts as a pivot point and turns your foot / lower leg into a min-shock.

[puffycloudsofdeath]

lol it laged as he said land on your balls......and it wont hert

[MrFailbook]

Lmao he has the same boots as i do =D

[tombestraider]

1:29 wtf it comes alon nice rapidly press it then it looks silly

[druminsk8]

hey guys, ive been riding for a couple of years now and im always looking to improve myself, anyone got any tip vids??

[guitaristxxx]

what about the throttle? do u have it pinned or do u gas it every time you approach the whoop?

[TheYamahaAbuser]

u gotta ride the whoops on your balls for maximum speed!

[JRod4824]

squeese your legs against te gas tank, kind of bend your legs a little and TWIST THE THROTTLE!!

lol

[MagenEfron]

My way is to just pin the throttle and just hope for the best lmao

[4realskater13]

imagine have balls on ur feet :S

[pdegraz]

haha he said land on your balls

[Jf128r]

Where is the balls of my feet lmao

[dakota9309]

dude thnx your were a big help!!!! :)

[alore57]

I love cycle ranch

[MILE0009]

pffftt....... balls of ur feet. thts bullshit. ive tryed tht it doesnt feel right it feels like ur feet r going to slip off. im gona go with what juker953 said..

[MXnumba3Colin]

When I was doing a little double I landed on the balls of my feet and it fractured my leg...

[monster509honda]

tobey maguire?

[thechristopherdixon]

@monster509honda yeah

[zcdirtbiker94]

alright so basicly you just grip the bike with your legs as hard as you can and pin the gas and use the bike as a pivit point...

[bassracer311]

i would have laughed if when he leaned back the bike tipped over and landed on him haha. but i needed to learn how to do the whoops

[csslsd]

haha wen u jump of the building ur gonnas land on your balls.of your toes!

[kessing619]

i dont know if he said anything about it before, but do you just hold the throttle back or what? or do you gas it everytime you hit each whoop

[juker953]

keep the throttle in one position. unless you want to go faster or slower. he forgot to mention to use a high gear. if the is a whoops section that starts like 20 or 30 feet out of a corner, i go through the corner a gear higher than if there was no whoops, and then shift again. my bikes are 5 speeds, and i do whoops usually in 4th on my 450, and 4th on my 250 2 stroke

[TheKillerHobbit]

hmm, quick question, isn't hanging over the back of the bike to keep the front up a bad idea? surely the seats gonna rise up, and shunt u over the handlebars?

[coreypower177]

@TheKillerHobbit na mate, If you have a nice strong body position, keeping you knees tight to the seat and taking this guys advice. The only way your gonna do that is when your front wheel dips in but thats when you have shifted your body forward.

[iRewel]

The best way to hit the whoops is to just get really drunk and and go for it.

[Shan224]

cheers

[brownukelele]

@iRewel ahahahahahahahahahaha

[KX85Ridah21]

This guy is still obviosly good though. thats why he makes these vids. i looked at his whip video and i tried it on this huge table top at one of the local tracks. that crap worked so good i was completely sideways! i didn't clear it but it worked perfectly!

[waylonrules20]

10 ft building hell no haha

[MultiAnthony96]

i do not think this guy is a pro in motocross they should have like james stewart make the vid

[imrpowers]

Hes pro, I go to this track. They even got a spedometer and he was going 45 through the whoops, so this must work!

[BrandonB169]

ye dude itll only cost expert village a couple of thousand bucks..

[Nfomx144]

this dude has no idea what hes talking about! you use the balls of your feet as a ballance point for a better center of gravity, also it is a better leverage point for squeezing with your knees, and keeps you nuetral on the bike.

[crazzynut1]

every 1 is differant ... make a vid ur self is this aint good enough

[mastergucks]

Kauf dir ne KTM!!!!

[wowkelthuzad70hunt]

"jump off a 10 foot roof"? the hell kind of an analogy is that?

[yztrt]

not the best example of how to ride whoops.

all it said was to keep looking forward and lean back,, more information needed!

[spiderpig8384]

kawasaki rox i got kx 85 and i used this tip it works 1 time a person said break a leg and my leg got ran over :O

[looteater]

i have a rm 85...way better

[GnRSlash88]

ahhhhh

[XxNorcoRivalRiderxX]

so you r saying too have sex with your seat doing the whoops lol know i know hhow to do it lol

[GreatWhite85]

Hey Tyler, to answer your question you asked: sometimes. If you have a long straight after a jump then you could upshift in the air (NOT on the face) and as soon as the rear touches the ground just lean forward a little on pin it out. Direct opposite for landing only I tend to downshift as soon as i land rather than in the air.

This can also be used for whoop sections. If you have a long straight of whoops and/or they are pretty mellow (this is best done on thumpers) then you can upshift.

[noragdollracing]

id laugh if he fell off his stand.

[MILE0009]

lmfaoooo........he rooting his bike. horny bastard

[kx85bike]

i broke my rib on some whoops on wednesday :L and still racing this sunday

[MX217]

[potatoman4life]

[Mvp963]

[BariPlayer87]

Hahaha I don't know why people are giving you a thumbs down. I thought the same thing!

[xx7race]

rapd the bike

[tyler02580]

when goin over a jump do you have your feet under the gear lever ?

[glencr125]

[warlord2194]
