What skills should I be practicing? I haven't really acquired any yet all I do is twist the throttle back and go. I have heard of one finger on clutch and so on? What shall I learn. I want to get faster and be able to go over jumps.

If you want to be a really good mx rider hang out with some really good mx riders.Personaly i gave up trying jumps and stuff years ago,still do some pretty hard out trail riding though.Im just a point and shoot kind of guy really, a lot of stuff just comes from experience so just ride as much as you can, whenever you can.

D3aln all you need to know is on a DVD, Dirt Wise by Shane Watts!
Buy it, download the torrent or what ever??
IF you practice and nail what he teaches as automatic you'll be awesome!!
Then work on your air LOL!!! BTW he does cover jumping to!
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

As Reckless says, the Shane Watts video is good but I got a lot more out of coaching...... I haven't used Broxy but they seem to be highly recommended...

I haven't checked when / where the coaching is in your neighbourhood but he's in Taupo reasonably frequently and that's only an hour from Napier.

Burnouts. Chicks dig em!
OK, so who's next?
The best thing to practice for off road is riding position. Where and how you sit/stand keeps you on the bike.

find a nice big paddock or open area, put two cones down a good distance apart, then to figure 8s between them. Concentrate on:
Body position when braking standing up, i.e. moving your body back and down, elbows up etc.
Practice dropping from standing position to seated position for the corner entry.
Sitting on the outside edge of the seat with weight on outer footpeg and other leg out for coutner balance for the corner.
Body position and control when cornering standing up.
Skidding rear into corner and steering from the rear.
Power sliding out of corner.
Spend a couple of hours doing that and you'll be way less of a point and squirt merchant...

Watch videos, copy the pros. Video yourself until you have it sorted. Easy
