Could be a mistake, a tip, or something you learned the hard way. 👇 Drop it below — help the new riders out

I see this mistake ALL the time… New riders going straight out and buying a 450. I get it, more power sounds better. But honestly, it’s one of the worst things you can do when you’re starting. If you’re new, you should be looking at: - 125cc (2-stroke) - 250cc (4-stroke) That’s it. A 125 or 250 gives you manageable power, lets you build real technique, and helps you gain confidence way faster. A 250, especially, is kind of the sweet spot — lighter, easier to control, and still has MORE than enough power for a beginner.

Note: These tips are only for when riding off-road or in the desert. These tips don't apply to riding motocross tracks. Notice where my head is at. My head is above or in front of the bar pad, whereas on a motocross track, I would only do this while accelerating while standing, but otherwise keep a more neutral or back position. This head placement lets me anticipate the bike's movements, since the desert is unpredictable; being one step ahead is crucial. I'm also counteracting the bike's inertia, pulling me back. This also helps me keep the bike better balanced through rough conditions or whoops. This is because I am driving the front wheel through the obstacle and letting the suspension do what it's meant to. Whereas if I had my weight back, the suspension would not work properly and give me improper feedback, possibly throwing me further back, and in a whoop section, we all know falling back on the throttle means you're likely hitting the ground. Having my body positioned forward all starts with the legs and feet. Notice I am on my toes so that I can use my ankle as an extension of the suspension. Little to slight bend in the knees. Then I squeezed the bike with my legs so that, in this position, I don't put a lot of pressure on my hands/bars, which also helps stabilize the rear end from dancing. (I do shift my weight back in the video, but this is while I was breaking, didn't want my weight over the front wheel while breaking in the sand, but go right back to the proper positioning when I get back on the throttle) Let me know if this helps To learn more from me and talk with me personally, click on the classroom tab.
