Before you begin to practice doing the whip find a smooth faced jump with no ruts on the face. The whip can be performed even when there are some small ruts in the face of the jump but it is much easier to do without ruts. Make sure it’s a safe jump (like a tabletop) but has enough hang time...

Did you notice that Ryan got serious after the passing of his Grandma, who was very close to him? Just goes to prove humans can achieve great things when they are motivated to do so. If you have a young son who you may think he has a chance at something great find a way to motivate them. Don't try...

I just joined Vital Mx and was thinking about periodically adding some riding tips. Here's one to get started. Please let me know if you like and/or have any questions. Clutch in or out while braking? The rule of the track here is to leave the clutch out while braking so the engine helps slow you down and helps control...
