In 2021 this is old! But pure GOLD!

I love these videos. Been researching and studying up. It's equally as fun to go out and practice what I've watched and studied. Kudos, people who upload this kind of goodness

LifeRocket7 You tell 'em brother. These videos are priceless.

Ty Howard... thank you.

Can I just add something slightly off-topic. I'm still just in the beginner zone of riding on track. However for any new rider I want to point out that they mention low gravity (pressure on pegs,legs) and loosen arms, no pressure on handle bars. This is also very good to practice on daily riding. Not just in a turning point of view but in the daily riding style. How you might ask? You should always have pressure on pegs so that your butt doesn't just rest on the seat. It's not a chair. It's a motorcycle and if you rest your butt on the seat it will raise the gravity zone. Add to this is that the legs should always hug the tank when riding and do to this easily, turn your footpad towards the bike. That will automatically force your leg to the tank, without having to put any pressure to let them stay there. Doing this will lead to very loosen arms and you will feel a much bigger different in your riding.

Awesome camerawork and editing Dave. Love the "straightline" graphic and the page turn, cool touches. This videos the best one yet!

Good good video,I love the way the explanation everything and it definitely helps

Probably the best body positioning videos on the internet!

thanks for your time and the best .....

@quniok they aren't talking about steering, they are talking about using body positioning to reduce lean angle. most people counter steer pretty much intuitively.

one of the best explanations of body positioning i have seen. thank you

Great video!

Great video. Lots of good info. I find myself putting pressure on my hands thru turns. Gotta practice putting most of that weight on my inside foot and relax my arms arms and hands more. Also really gotta practicing keeping my upper body down throughout the turn...

Getting better. Body position has really improved over last season's trackdays. Also getting better at keeping weight off hands and relaxing arms. Trying to keep my weight mostly on my feet. How about u? Got bumped into intermediate level last season wc I was pumped about. Still have a ton of things to work on tho.

some great tips

thanks for these vids. ridesafe everyone.

A lot of good stuff in this video, I agree they are teaching body position and not counter-steering. Does it matter if I find myself with my chest on the tank? By doing this it seems to help keep my arms relaxed. Also the California Superbike School say it helps to keep your nuts away from the tank....quite hard to do when braking hard before a corner. Thanks!

One of the best tutorials.

+s4 ninja F**K yeah, best bike channel on KZread I know!! :-)

👏👏

although weighting the inside peg doesn't really make the bike steer much, it does make it steer. Also: If you put weight on the inside peg.. you push yourself up (vertical) so effectively, you will hang less en *sorta* stand on the inside peg.

9:06 - Do not over rotate round the tank (inside arm will stiffen and lock the steering head)

because thats the most natural and easiest position to turn your foot in the direction you want to. gotta try it by yourself.

First guy was hoping back and forth when switching from one side to the other, lifting his ass up off the seat- better technique is to slide from one side to the other

no. your weight wants to be on the inside of the bike. the more you hang off your bike the less your bike has to lean to make the corner. weighting the peg will not effect much of the bikes turning, it is just simply easier to place your weight on your foot. if you dont put your weight on your foot you will be pulling the top of the bike with your outside left as you hang off.

Yeeeep. It's most important on tight corners, but I think at first you should try it all the time. When you are hanging off the bike, your foot should rotate towards the opposite direction of the curve (if you are turning right, your left foot should be pointing left), that way it's easier to anchor yourself to the bike. Try it when its parked with a few friends to hold the bike and you'll know EXACTLY what I mean. Cheeeers

Not sure how hanging off of a bike more to keep it upright helps you carry more speed. An upright bike doesnt corner as hard, correct? If this is the case, then why not lean way out and rest your damn calf on the seat?

anyone want to tell me why the tip of our shoes needs to be on the peg?

what is the type of this bike

is it just me or did he mention you put weight on the inside peg to steer the bike? That's just plain wrong, that will push the bike over more than is necessary

Thanks for the vid.. helped me a lot.. those of u that wanna criticise the vid then GTFO.. Go make ur own video an teach us..

To those who criticize, look up CMRA track records, notice the name Ty Howard on a few? Enough said.

He's hoping back and forth when switching side to side, sliding back and forth is a better practice- also, he failed to explain what he's doing with his feet-

umm I like it all except u steer with the handlebars.. counter-steer....

All good... Talking enursure and all that... Then lifts to switch sides! Very counter intuitive and really unstablises the bike

+david Kerridge noticed that as well, absolutely right. Knee to knee on the tank feels so much more stable (and right).

weighting the footpeg is a load of bollocks

I think he meant to say that all of your body weight needs to be supported by the legs. You still steer the bike with countersteering and not by the pegs.

Some of the information they give is potentially dangerous. The first two guys are hugely confusing and none of this is organized thought. The third guy isn't doing bad until he's talking about steering the bike. It's dangerous to give information like this. They should know how to at least steer a bike through a corner before they start teaching riders.
