As Eccentric as Ryno is I feel that he is really good at seeing what the Pro's are doing out on the track and during the racing and is able to eloquently explain it and slow it down for us normal people.
I really enjoy his video's and I think we can all agree Austin was riding so much better this year before his unfortunate crash hard not to attribute some of that to Ryno!
Ryno and DV12 are my favourite 90/00's Racer's because of there insight's and no BS styles.
Everyone wants to argue about oh there is many different ways to ride a bike fast which is true when it comes to riding STYLE. But as far as body position on the bike goes, what Jett, Chase, Tomac and some of the other guys are doing is the CORRECT way.
The body is just more stable and stronger in certain positions than others and the hips back, balls of the feet with a strong flat back is just the correct way to do it. Nobody argues that there is only one correct way to Squat, Deadlift or do pushups, the body just works better in certain positions for certain movements.
What sets Jett and even Chase apart is they are in the ideal position almost all the time no matter the situation, thats what makes it impressive.
Ryno is one of the few people that gets it imo.
Everyone wants to hate on him but you can’t say he is wrong. I remember him preaching all this when Tomac was on a 250f.
100%. It's like baseball players at the plate. They can wave the bat around or whatever but they all get into the same position when they're ready to swing.

A lot of these "instructors" today seem hyperfocused (to a fault imo) on body positioning and riding style. I would be kind of pissed if I went to a school and all I got was "just mimic what Jett and Chase are doing". Yeah, no shit. Not only that, but not everyone has the right body type to ride the Jett/Chase way. My T-Rex arms wouldn't allow me to reach the bars if I tried to ride as far back as those guys. It's not hopeless for short guys (Wardy/RC/JMart etc.) but the cat definitely has to be skinned a different way than what's being taught as strict requirements right now.
Besides all of that, most amateur riders are slow because we take stupid lines, have our bike in the wrong part of the power too often, and/or have lousy physical conditioning. Riding form/style is usually the least of our problems.
Ryno's a kook, but sometimes has good points.
I found something very interesting and ironically it came from Gypsy who had the foundation trainer on as a guest.
He worked with Reedy back in the day and he really isn’t into moto. Gypsy mentioned Jett and showed him video of his style. The guy picked out one critical piece that really makes sense. He mentioned Jett’s neck and his straight it is because his back is so straight which we all knew.
The next bit was what got me and had the aha moment. Jett uses his lats more than any other rider. When he hits a rutted face or bumps he does use his arms or shoulders to absorb it. Instead, he tightens his core which allows his arms to be free and he doesn’t punch between his shoulder blades(think face pulls on a rower). The trainer mentioned that Jett’s foundation is the best he has ever seen in an athlete and would give him superior balance.
Such an odd dude, but still enjoy his vids and content. He’d probably be taken more serious if he wasn’t such a kook. Whatever he was doing with Forkner was working..no denying that.
until it wasn't.
What was different this year from any other year, blazing fast but still crashing.
Yeah- was actually going to say the same “ until it wasn’t” but was considering the contact lens
Forkner has always been able to win races and then he also crashes and gets hurt. Same as it ever was, and Hughes makes no difference in his winning or crashing.
I think if he was a different rider than he used to be, he would have backed it down. Not changing his style and only seeing out of my eye tells me he's the same AF
100% disagree, he changed his lines in the whoops mid race, which he wouldn't have before, and had pulled the gap on deegan back out. He made a mistake sure, but there was a change.
He also started that race behind the vital golden child and passed him with a whole pile of speed.
He'd be in line for that 450 ride, without the mistake.
Yes he is…no he’s not…yes he is…blah..blah this place.
I feel like everyone can benefit from Ryno's advice there, not just in relation to motocross either. Being locked into what you're doing and not getting ahead of yourself is so important, and easier said than done.
The other guys really do need to focus on these little adjustments to their technique if they want to beat Jett, because just trying to go faster isn't gunna cut it.
I vividly remember him breaking down the top guys technique back in 2011 during the amazing sx season. He's said RV had the best technique, balls of his feet, etc, etc. And that RVs technique gave him the most potential for speed and to correct mistakes in the moment. People call him a kook and he probably is but I think he's great
Try riding with an eye closed!! Not too easy! He made it work for 4-5 laps, but needed 4-5 more to finish. I don’t think any amount of coaching can keep a contact in!!!
Pit Row
then teach him how to pull off the track
Hard to disagree with this. Back it down and just finish
Did you just say Deegan was the vital golden child?
I'm curious why you think he's a kook?

He is not a quitter, and the team loves that!!!!
Plus showing his pubs at Loretta’s to some young woman that wasn’t interested. That video was very cringy.
Has he broken down what went wrong when his rider Austin Forkner ended his season? Just curious
I called him a kook but didn't mean it negatively. He's this moto guru hippie dude. He's great
What? Austin was riding good... until the second race when he crashed out of the season...like he usually does? Austin has always been fast.
I dont get what you're saying on the Forkner front. But, I do think that Ryno does have some great riding technique and methodology advice. He is also a strange person. Two things can be true at the same time. And being a weird person doesn't invalidate a mans advice on technique for riding a dirtbike.
Idk I thought it was pretty sage advice, although the thing about feeling speed is hard to understand.
The body position stuff is dead on, I try to work on this with MTB and I definitely notice a difference
