How to Freestyle Motocross

Video Transcript

"Although I don't participate in Freestyle Motocross I think to get into Freestyle Motocross, first it's important to build your base of skills on just riding the motorcycle, being comfortable, knowing, you know, obviously learning how to, how to turn, how to corner correctly, how to jump and just getting a general feel for yourself on the motorcycle. Progressing past that and learning tricks, I, I think in the past used to be trial and error, obviously you don't want to make a lot of errors when you're riding a motorcycle because you'll end up hurt and, and unable to ride for quite some time. But nowadays they have foam pits that you can learn, learn in and practice your tricks and perfect them before you even have to, to try them on the dirt. But I think just taking things slow and isolating one trick at a time and learning, learning the correct way to do that trick and, and being safe and just learning at your own pace is very important to avoid injury and to be able to keep progressing in your, in your endeavors of, of learning more and more tricks. If you're interested in learning Freestyle Motocross I think once you've developed your bike skills and you want to try to start learning tricks it's, you're going to need to find a place to practice that has ramps or good jumps to learn on, that, that are safe and where there's obviously not other people riding on the track at the same time as you. You don't want to be out at a motocross practice and trying to learn your tricks in the middle of that. So finding a freestyle park or, or friend or somebody in your area that's into it and has a place to practice and they can also kind of guide you through the progression of learning. You know, which tricks are the easiest, and where to start and, and obviously as your progress and become more comfortable you can, you know do some of the bigger and, and the more difficult tricks later on down the line."
