It's called a panic rev for a reason


It’s no secret that there is a steep learning curve to freestyle motocross. It takes guts to jump an ATV or motorcycle that high and that far; let alone trying to let go of said machine in mid air. Well back when I first got into riding freestyle motocross there were plenty of ups and a lot of downs. This was one of those down days early in my freestyle journey, but thankfully I survived (mostly) unscathed and lived to ride another day. I still for the life of me don’t know why I didn’t panic rev and at least attempt to bring the front end up. Oh well, I’ll know for next time, right?
