On my Harley I can only think of ice cream grips after I put the bike on the stand and looked for an ice cream parlor. On my Ducati, the shape of the bar invites to adopt the ice cream grip in turns. On my GS, it is a bit in between but more leaning towards the Harley due to the large bar. Useful video anyway

I would agree - most of these motorcycle skills videos are only considering one type of riding on one type of bike, doesn't take into consideration or acknowledge that many of these things are situational. A lot of cases I get the sense only think about being on a track on a sport or race bike, don't consider the realities of street riding, or maybe some perfect Southern California roads with zero traffic. Like always talking about outside-inside-outside not considering that the middle of the lane in a curve is where gravel tends to collect in my experience, or saying to look through a curve as far as possible when it is often necessary to dodge potholes and man hole covers you don't want to hit leaned over. Or for that matter talking about the importance of fine throttle finesse when the proper technique on my GZ250 is to twist it all the way and pray (by which I mean mutter "shitshitshitshitshit") as traffic gets big in the mirrors. I see this with a lot of channels (cough Motojitsu cough), I think FortNine is better about acknowledging different circumstances and scenarios, but I don't think their skills videos are all that good - they're more done for entertainment, putting jokes and sometimes cinematography ahead of actual good, much less complete, information. Still fun and entertaining though, worth watching with a grain of salt. Their more investigative videos (telling the story of various motorcycles, helmet standards, why Harleys suck and why people still like them anyway, and so on) are amazing though.

There is a far higher risk of road rage idiots forcing me to go flying off the mountain than there is of an unknown blockage ahead. Blind corners are everywhere and often just because the view is obstructed by traffic. Do you slow down to half the speed limit to go over a crest or every obscured bend because that would make any form of driving impractical? I don't knee slide or even hang beside the bike. I just go from tall to laid on the tank with my head in line with the inside mirror. I am no racer boy and don't corner a blinding speeds but I am still moving my weight low and inside compared to cantilever when called for. No offence but the approach you suggest for visible distance would make just my regular commute on a straight motorway basically impossible.

It’s really interesting to see and think about this, because it’s similar to something we teach people who learn how to row competitive boats. The “regular” grip can lead to injuries when rowing fast and hard, so we teach the ice cream grip to lessen the impact on the wrist and keep control over the oar.

I guess this also depends on the type of bike, as the ‘ice cream’ grip is quite difficult to use on cruisers and some large upright adventure bikes.

Learning so much from this channel. Always entertaining as well.

5 minutes to teach me something I didn't know I needed to learn. Thank you.

I love the dropping to earth like a comet (screaming enhances the affect), BUT landing like a lunar module - Soft!! Excellent video as always. Thanks for the how NOT to hold my throttle grip - but how to hold my ice cream cone with my most sensitive grip. I will use that at my local Dairy Queen...

That's Beautiful! Explains why the naturally positioned "Ice Cream Hold" on Triumph SpeedMaster 2018+ stock beach bars feel soooo RIGHT... So suited for Aggressive Cruising

I came to this channel as a reomendation from Chaos Causes to learn about chain cleaner.....but I found gold!!!!!!! Already watched all your videos and I cant wait for you to release some new ones.... regards from 🇨🇴 Colombia

The shopping cart analogy was beautiful! And the intro was great too! Always enjoy your videos!

Man... what a rollercoaster of emotions this one was

the quality production of your videos is amazing

You have better production than most tv programs. Awesome job.

Disclaimer: "Several ice cream cones were harmed during the making of this film"

They would have admitted it, but they were waffling.

I've literally watched all your videos (lockdown is my exscuse) but i love seeing consistent uploads reacently keep it up but also try to not get burnt out

I honestly have never had this issue since I started riding because I watched your videos in prep and learned to cover my levers 😉

Puts your hand in the natural position

As usual one of the highest quality youtube productions and great humor.

Thank you Ryan, thank you editing team, thanks to everyone who puts effort into these videos. You all are legends! #icecreamemoji

*_What a great channel. Thanks for putting this together. I always learn something new._*

I was having wrist pain and hands numbness on my sport bike, started doing the screwdriver grip (ice cream cone grip in Canada) in combination with gripping the tank more with knees. Now, more control and longer painless rides. Thanks F9

I'm pretty new to bikes, but I've watched 100s of videos on rider skills. How is this the first time I'm hearing this? Thanks!

Because it’s nonsense! Watch some of his other videos, sure doesn’t practice what he preaches!

This grip is only really (practically at least) useful on the Racetrack/if you drive like a racer, if you drive somewhat normally you won't really benefit much from it. Though either way you shoudn't be gripping the bars hard either way, relaxed grip+ arms is the way to go.

As someone who has just recently passed their CBT and has a motorcycle on order, this channel has both simultaneously been the most entertaining, and educational out of anything I've ever watched! The sheer quality that goes into these is nuts!

Thank you. As a new rider it's great watching your content to help me adjust grip, understand those pigeon eyed drivers etc!

I honestly don't know why your not more famous! your videos are just the best period!

Highlight of my week finding two Fortnine videos I hadn't seen!

Long time back I have watched naska video he explained this throttle limits beautifully

I saw that one too.

I'd like to use this, but I'm one who likes to cover the brake with 1 finger at all times. And I find that impossible to do with this sort of grip

Another Fortnine gem!!! Best motorcycle/content on you tube

Love the writing and execution. An important technique that goes hand in hand with this is to hold the bike with your knees, brace your core and you will naturally be able to have the flexibility of holding the throttle more appropriately for better control over the throttle and better feedback.

Watching Mike on Bikes' video about this subject made me very conscious about how to hold the throttle and ever since, I've become a much more advanced rider. I strongly recommend everyone adapting this technique.

Mike is great too.

Thank you! This immensely helped for my recent CBT. This technique reminds me of string bending on the guitar with a slight twist of the wrist (as opposed to exerting the whole forearm into the fingertip).

Amazing,. I've been doing it all wrong since 1974, over one million miles in the saddle, including a good few laps of the Isle of Man TT course, some falls, no broken bones and still riding at 67. You learn something every day!

Your channel makes me feel really special haha. I think I'm a born rider because most of your advice on bike riding is something I've been doing naturally after 3 years of riding, been riding for 10 years now, making my own bikes for the past 4 :) love your channel.
