lol. Now we can just call Austin dumb.
ok then, call him dumb lol. Hes the one with a factory contact and making good money riding dirtbikes while your working your day job and hating on him on vital… 🤷♂️
He thinks everybody is dumb because he is so smart. LMFAO!
What about riding a bike slow? Which is harder to do? Speed is a stabilizer
Hips back? What about weighting the front end? Is there one position ALL THE TIME? Maybe in deadlifts or pushups

Body positioning varies, and no ONE position ALL THE TIME. It depends: attack vs energy conserving. Not all riders can ATTACK all the time. Line selection is HUGE. If you're off by an inch, could be the difference between crashing or not, or at least save you time on the track. Some of these "instructors" don't know what they're talking about.... IMHO.
No.
Moving around on the footpegs leads to more movement. Right?
Between the balls and the arches; toes in and toes out, as needed. I ride with my toes out a little, and toes in as needed (to shift or brake). Probably counter to most "moto' instructors (toes in ALL THE TIME). Also, get good at weighting the footpegs/ loading the suspension
What are you talking about? They weight the front end all the time with their hips back, maybe you need to do some hamstring stretches if you can’t weight the front with your knees behind your toes still. If they need to weigh the front a lot they are sitting.
Billy Bolt seems to do a good job riding slow and technical stuff with his hips hinged
He's going DOWN HILL! Of course his hips are back
Hips Hinged? What does that mean exactly?
And, how is hips back weighting the front end?
You know the idea of function exercises is that it is a whole body movement utilising your core?
As apposed to a leg press or any other machine that isolates the muscles reducing the amount of stabilisation muscles used mainly the core
Hips back doesn’t necessarily mean back of the bike just behind your toes it’s dynamic it changes up hill down hill cornering etc. Unless they are transferring to sitting, mid air or something out of the ordinary they are at most knees even with toes or behind.
Flat corner holeshots, knees behind toes, extreme enduro steep ass hill climb knees behind toes.
Uhm. No. The idea is to remain neutral on the bike like a teeter totter with a fulcrum that can be moved fore and aft with the slightest adjustment. BTW Levi’s knees are defiantly in front of his foot pegs and so are all the other riders in that shot
Glad to see someone else can understand the most valuable part of this message.
For not wanting to piss his boss off, in a contract year?
lol. And how’s that working out with the kid being on the sidelines. Had he stayed healthy and likely won or finished top 3 at worst in the series he’d have plenty of offers. As it is now it’s just another year he hasn’t completed a full season. Has he ever?
I posted it in the other thread, but it's been a few years since he's completed a full season.
Not all of those being his fault though
I love that you are arguing with Austin’s dad who literally is involved in the whole program and obviously has some interaction with Mitch. Vital at its best.
Pit Row
I know who I’m arguing with 😂
That’s what makes it awesome
I still find it interesting that you don't know the difference between there and their.
I personally am a fan of Austin, I like how "pops" is on here. I hope he doesn't decide to not post on here because people give him shit.
The most famous case on here was when James Stewart posted here under a screen name and people told him he didn't know what he was talking about.
Yes but it limits the muscles maximum strength, it’s why Olympic deadlifters, lift hundred of kilograms standing on a medicine ball…
what functional exercises do is give you balance, which can help with micro adjustments and flow, what it doesn’t give you is strength. So when a big impact or unexpected obstacle occurs there’s nothing there…
that’s what happened here, he was flowing beautifully then a slight misjudgement of an obstacle causes him to completely collapse. He didn’t have the max strength required,
