My progress in the dirt

yeah, but theres not

 

ahhhh well that's a bummer. it's a well known trick in the mx world to keep that baby tight, drops 10-20 seconds MINIMUM

 

I heard that! cause of something with aerodynamic and shit right?

 

yeah yeah and the forces and the drag and shit!





I think

 

Damn good riding improvement from first to second video. I was impressed on how you rode for your very first ride by hitting the jumps.
I'm just remembering this one fellow that I rode with back home say "RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT".

 

Yeah , hopefully i can do that in a couple months

 

they break easy

rear brake is a no no?

 

Looks like a fun track. Get your leg out in the corners it helps for balance. Ride safe.

 

Oh I know lol, time for some handguards.

And yes use the rear, I actually mostly use the rear but a combo of the 2 is best. Eventually you will be able to slide the back end into the berm.

 

I agree with ktm stick to your lines more. also get used to riding in the ruts more and using them like a berm. for mx your rear brake is your friend more than the front. For streetbikes its the opposite. have you ever gone out to a dirt lot and just practiced sliding the rear end around. it will help your confidence out a lot if you get used to it sliding. I say this cause if you watch your throttle hand you can tell your on and off the gas a lot trying to keep it in control around the flatter turns. stay smooth and let the bike do the work if that makes any sense. but you have improved a lot.

Also Ktm dont forget carnegie and up north good old prarrie city and hangtown.

 

Rear brake should be used with the front

You are doing a lot better in just 4 weeks. Hold your line when being over taken, dont look back,look forward.

Use more power in the corners. Using more power will make the bike more stable and faster in corners. Use the ruts to corner faster. get the front wheel in the rut and then apply the throttle to suck the rear wheel in the rut . And look ahead while doing the rut.

Start hitting the table tops a lot harder, be on the throttle when you land so the bike sucks up the landing. Table tops are great to learn on, it is real hard to screw a table up. You are jumping about a third of the table. Try to jump half and then all of it over time. You will be amazed how smooth it is the first time you clear a table and get to the landing

try practicing just one part of the track over and over. After you get good at that corner or table pick another section and do it over and over.

Ride the whole track less, it is hard to master a whole track. Focus on what is hardest or what you are slow at and do it over and over until you are faster.

Good job

 

I forgot, pinch the bike with your knees and feet. It helps alot from the bike bucking you and helps hitting jumps as well.
