I did see this comment as well on another video here. I'm comparing techniques taught on MTB (looks like Motorbikes are catching up in a way, around pivoting around the hits, dropping heels, more standing up than sitting etc). But ..... I haven't come across dropping the inside heel as yet to turn the bike. It's usually about weighting the outside peg (or pedal in the MTB case), pivoting around the hips, pushing the bike, but not your body over in a corner to gain edge grip on the tyres. Some interesting musing, comparing and contemplating going on in my head right now. Weight on an inner peg around a corner generally leads to less grip ... Interested to see an answer about this. It may be just to 'initiate' a turn only that they are talking about.
To initiate the turn you drop your inside heel. So in a left turn you drop your left heel and then once you are half way through the turn/ at the apex you start to transfer the pressure to your outside foot peg by dropping the right heel in this case. This way the bike turns in nice and controlled and once you have it leaned in you are able to control your grip and traction from your outside peg. If you put too much pressure on your outside foot peg when you are turning in you have to push the bike into the turn and do a lot more work with your upper body which is what we are trying to avoid. Thanks for the question 👍🏻
This makes so much sense !
It seems so obvious now but I never thought of this myself.
I'm definitely going to practice this myself too !
Thank You! It's a really fun practice drill.
I'm practicing this for a week, and on road it translates to much confidence riding style.
Trying this today
Love it!
Thanks for watching 👍🏻

So you drop the left foot to turn right ?? I always try and transfer my weight to the opposite side from which I am turning.

@@cameronmclennan578 It's funny you have mentioned MTB as I raced for many years.

What if you're left handed, don't have enough hair, and are less than 6ft tall? Asking for a friend.
the throttle will still be on the right side mate
