I got my first bike license on my 60th birthday today I am 68 years old and I subscribed. I wish I found you before. Love my bike and pleaser riding it. Thank you man.
I've watched many videos on cornering, leaning, trail breaking, entry speed but this is the first time I really truly understand what the heck is going on or what the heck is trail breaking. Thanks men, This video is worth a million bucks. Every rider should watch this video. "THE FASTEST RIDER USE THE MOST BREAKS" This is my favorite quote .
Would that all riders would practice panic stops, up to 45-50mph. It would sabe many lives; at our Ride Like a Pro sessions, nearly NOBODY HAS, not except when they slammed the trunk of a car!
Eddie, just want to let you know that you have great videos. I've watched them over the last couple of years here and there. All different ones. You explain it in a very easy to understand way. I learned to get my knee down about 10 years ago and it never fails that we can always go back to fundamentals. You keep everybody on track. Keep doing what you're doing. I never get tired of watching your videos.
Too much front brake talk - I’m not convinced he’s saving lives at all . Maybe I’m wrong but front brake can F YOU UP ... back brake is more natural by far in terms of physics - I’m only 4 years into the sport and older (Harley) but this dude’s advice makes me kinda cringe . (Maybe he does more on back brake on other clips ) Or maybe I’m too inexperienced or unpracticed to appreciate the front brake technique he’s describing.
Man you are an awesome teacher! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the concepts so well on all your videos. I am a better, safer rider thanks to your videos.
"public roads" is key. You can't assume that it's your track where you can do what you want and have other drivers accomodate you. Share the road, be ready to slow down and stop. Thanks Motojitsu.
This was one of the best videos I have seen. A much more aggressive rider than my self once jumped my ass for braking through a corner, then gave me a complex about braking and I became scared of the corner.. thinking if I can’t apply brakes and my speed was too fast my only option is to hold on slide out.. I didn’t even want to ride.. but I watched your video got out there and feel so much better.
14:52 I just achieved the biggest mental breakthrough on trailbraking from this video. I know and practice the suspension/tire contact patch setting when applying the brake. What I had not considered is the time/distance involved to do that. If I'm off the brakes in the corner and suddenly realize I need to use them again I need to reset all of that again which takes time and distance and isn't ideal leaned over.
I FINALLY really understand trail breaking, thank you! It’s what I’ve been doing from instinct; it’s just what feels right, but I wasn’t sure if it was what I SHOULD be doing. Thanks again for a video that just makes sense. You’re my fave and go-to for sure.
"Pratice makes permanent, perfect pratice makes perfect." - Fast Eddie I guess this is the most teaching video about the brakes that i ever watched. Also got terrifyed when i face my own mistakes. Thank you very much for sharing.
Your explanation of trailbraking and braking in general through turns has helped me more than anything else I have heard or been taught so far as a new rider. I really appreciate your willingness to share your experience! Thank you so much!!
I’m on a BMW S100R and I’m a pretty good rider. I like your videos because they remind me first to not forget the basics and second to always keep thinking about what I’m doing. I go through some really nice curves and I find myself thinking about what you said and I am more conscious which makes it even more fun because I can push my limits just that little bit further. Semper Fi brother.
OMG all these knowledge for free thanks,very refreshing and helpful.I did believe some of the myths u mentioned untill i slowly using the front brake PROPERLY.
This whole body of work, all the videos are on skills and techniques I’ve seen before elsewhere, (msf instructors, forums, riders, books, etc… but for me Its like here they suddenly make sense as to how and why and all comes together and a lightbulb goes off where I’m like “OHHH how did i miss that a couple years ago? How did nobody ever mention that before?” Its not that the others skipped anything, but rather that, IMO Fast and MotoJitsu lessons are the best moto teacher I’ve ever seen (actually one of the best teachers in ANY subject) whether virtual or IRL (ymmv sInce its a very subjective thing). Fast E comes across on his videos like its just himself and the viewer, while simultaneously being clear and likable and connecting one on one, this is a huge talent and kind of rare to find it authentically, so when it comes along its really noticeable, now combine that with MotoJitsu/FE’s skills and knowledge and its just a great combination. This stuff actually lives up to hype/ word of mouth. He’s really really good at this. I dont work for/never met this guy, so I’m not just hyping (i have no skin in game) its just me and my 2 cents here. MotoJitsu is really impressive and totally necessary! Thanks for doing this work
Simply the best, most pedagogical and intuitive motorcycle braking class on the platform. You are truly making motorcycling safer and more fun. Thank you very much.
Great advice with dimmer switch. My breaking is so smooth now like I can't believe I was so reckless with it before. Thank you bro. You always deliver! Keep up the good work!
I agree... the dimmer switch vs a flick-switch is a Perfect comparison! You can't 'dim' the brakes on, then Flick them off... smooth on / smooth off...
Well explained Ed... 35 yrs ive been riding ,and still enjoy hitting corners +bends at speed on my Cbr1100xx. Im was sure i have been doing this procedure (unconsciously) the rite way,but your video explained the reasons for doing it correctly,,which makes so much sence. Thank you...once again. Mark,in Australia... P.s.....our fires are out😁😁😁
Man I hope you know how much your videos and the time you put into them is immensely appreciated. I just got my first bike about a month ago, and prior to the purchase I spent weeks watching your stuff. Very helpful, incredibly informative, and you do it all without arrogance or judgement. Thanks again stay safe
I've only been riding for about two years. I've watched countless videos about technique. This guy is somehow able to get the point across better than any other TH-camr I've come across yet.
I'm a 55yo female. I've never ridden before. I'm going for my safety course this weekend. I've been watching so many videos. I have to say yours are some of the best. I finally had to comment even though this is 3 yrs old ... This is one of the best videos. It's like you have shown me my biggest concern and how to rectify it. I want to be able to not just pass my license test. I want to become confident. I want to know what to do what that guy is looking at his cell phone and runs the light. And also all of the other things I need to learn! Thank you so much for all this info in all your videos! So grateful!
One of the best trail breaking videos for me. Great presentation. Great explanations and diagrams. More logical descriptions of what to do and how to do it and the effects of actions. I have watched several trail breaking videos and for me, this is one of the best.
Thank you a lot! You only man whom I know, who do good videos about road strategy. I watched with pleasure, good job! Sorry to my english, I am from Russia
I just wanted to say I am very impressed at the content. I am a long time rider (almost 30 years) that learns everyday. I still go into parking lots (often) and practice slow speed maneuvering, pickups, stops, figure eights, etc. This man is doing it right. Do not loose respect for the vehicle and always remember, no matter how long you have been doing it, you have a lot to learn and everyone gets rusty. Also, I found out this man is a former USMC drill instructor and as a former recruit, I am amazed that he is able to count correctly. "You got 10.... 7621 YOU'RE DONE". Thank you, sir. You are doing great work keeping people alive. Please, keep it up.
This is a great video man. I heard a lot of those front brake myths when I first started riding and it honestly almost got me killed. There’s a lot of twisty mountain roads where I live and for a while I just couldn’t figure out why some cornering was so sketchy, especially downhill. Started using the trail braking method and it instantly made a huge difference. You did a great job explaining it!
I love your “old school” flip charts. Your explanations made total sense, even to those of us who ride all the time. I’m always learning & will continue to learn through my life. Thank you🙏🏼
Thank you n this is hands down the best lesson/explanation of trail braking I've ever seen/heard.. I'ven riding since age 8. I'm 46 now. The saddle bags in my Harley are all chewed up from dragging curves. I thought everyone knew how to do this. I learned this thru the years without any lessons... The hard way as a young dumb frames kid. I've never been able to put it into words. Phenomenal!!!
I had an argument with my brother in law about front break.. he's the type of person " you'll flip if you use your front break". I recommended your channel for him to learn and not to end up in an accident.. I've learned a lot from your channel and your videos..keep it up sir, ridesafe.
I’m just starting to ride and I’ve been learning heaps on TH-cam. But I can confidently say that the way you teach is great. I feel like I’m learning so much more watching your videos than anything else that I’ve watched yet. I’ll be sure to watch heaps more of your videos and keep on learning.
This video has made a huge difference in my safety. As I'm cornering, I'm hearing you say "Keep slowing down." I do, and not going wide anymore. Thank you so much for your teaching.
I think that is the Motojitsu drill I have most to learn after trying it myself. I tried black belt, as I can do the weave in black belt consistently (stupid, right :P), but I grab the breaks too hard too early, so the back wheel was off the ground for 12 feet probably. Think I’ll try white belt and work my way up next time.
Your analogies and drawings are so helpful. The fact that you repeat things instead of breezing over them makes all the difference! I just watched your video about cornering, where you just rode corners, back and forth, describing every step ... from approaching/entering/cornering through/exiting every corner, was sooooo helpful! I felt more confident on my very next ride. All I need now is to conquer u-turns without dropping my bike I’ll be happy. For now it’s 5 point u-turns! Thanks for the awesome videos!!!!!
I love the brutal honesty in your videos. Other TH-camrs who give this kind of motorcycling lessons seem to always want to wrap their words in fluff so that they are maybe not that stinging, but not you. I really like that because I am coming to the age where I have little patience for people who seem to want to handle me with gloves on. Just give it to me straight and if you tell me I suck at something, it's just all the more motivation for me to work on improving myself. Keep it up. I am really glad I checked out this channel a few weeks ago.
David Jebson the size of the contact patch has absolutely nothing to do with traction. I know that sounds wrong but the formula for friction has no mention of area! It’s actually the weight pushing down providing more force causing increased traction. A bicycle tire has just as much traction as a super bike tire provided they are made from the same material and have the same weigh on them.
Your videos are gold! Thank you for providing this for FREE for us. Your explanations and graphics are so understandable. I'm an adult educator and I'm impressed with your teaching techniques - I bet you don't even realize you're following actual educational methodologies - you're a natural. I'm also a motorcycle rider - have been riding for years - but these are all lessons that I never learned in my safety courses and lessons that I need on the roads. I devour all of your videos and learn so much and practice in the parking lot and take it on the road with me. I'm taking notes and drawing out these practice sessions and will be heading to the parking lot this weekend with my practice cones. I hope I never need to emergency brake (wishful thinking), but WHEN I do, I'll credit you!!
Video excellent, drawings sensational, information life saving, hair magnificent 😀. On a serious note though you really are saving riders lives and we all thank you, cheers Eddie
My cornering style: *slow down to desired corner speed* Alright time to corner. Gonna corner soon... here it comes. Ok turning soon. About to turn. HEADPOSITIONBODYPOSITIONLEANANGLEOHGODTURN. Accelerate out of turn. Lol.
Best Motorcycle channel EVER! You are saving my life man, I recently got my bike and have zero experience on it. I don’t even drove a stick car before. Last Sunday I went with a friend to “teach me” and all the myths you mentioned are exactly what he said. Obviously i felt unconfident and I ran away. I’m glad I subscribed to your channel learning a lot this past few days 🤙🏾 keep up the good job brother and let me know if you are thinking on teach or provide courses, I’m totally down for that. Drive safe.
Absolutely the best explanations you will ever find !! Clarity and simplicity on this crucial aspect of biking that ALL riders should study and implement. Well done, MotoJitsu for this video, and many thanks !!
Great video with lots of supplementary information. Really like that the teacher didn’t talk a hundred miles a minute, that he uses easy to understand flip carts, talks like he cares, and left all the jokes behind the scenes. Great video for all those other guys making videos. Learned a lot in one short session.
Haven't commented in a while but I continue watching, practising, and shared this one via twitter. Keep it coming and I hope you will be able to visit Germany someday!
This videos are pure GOLD if most of the riders will spend a little time on your chanel or to another chanel's like this , instead of just jump on that bike and giving gas , man this kind of materials are life savings . May God bless you
I rode back in my teens and twenty’s then I got married and had not rode for 35 years then I retired at 55 due to health issues. I then bought a new 2018 Fatboy after taking the motorcycle course. I check out many different utube channels to learn and keep trying to get more educated on riding. I have come across your channel and you have helped me to understand more about riding braking and practicing. I am all yours. Thanks for your lessons and may God Bless you! Papa P.
"Keep on damn slowing down." I 'm not sure I was supposed to memorize that particular line yet that is the one that stuck with me! JK...a fine video and appreciate you making it.
Just watched that video - "100 POINTS OF GRIP with CHAMPSCHOOL's Nick Ienatsch" good stuff thanks for recommending... oh and also was able to start practice on White belt over the week end .. felt good to start :)
Thanks for making this video Eddie. I started practicing doing tight circles in a parking lot this week after watching one of your other videos you did at an army base. I did okayish, but practice practice practice makes perfect. The material in this video takes it further and is very encouraging. Also your comment about uphill vs downhill is so very true; stuff I experienced when mountain biking on loose gravel; scared me no end to begin with. Motorbike is still 'Eyes Wide Open' at the moment because of the weight and gravity pull difference. And I found that freezing up is the worst thing to do. It's instinct to feel a bit of fear when learning something new, and damn stupid to ignore it. Thanks again heaps. I get a lot out of your simplistic explanations.
Thank you brother ! you are helping a lot of people to understand what is trail braking is. Keep up the great work. You are a true blessing! Ride Safe.
The best video ever! I'm I new rider and front brake practice saved me from hitting a bus that was doing a U-turn. You may have saved my life but at the least a lot of pain.
Best explanation for brake trailing, you always come through when I go back to my practice modes. In this case, I want to feel more secure in my cornering. You were the one that engraved that motto in my mind when I started riding " always practice" :) Thanks Eddie!!
You have the best bike videos on TH-cam, I just got my first bike a week ago and have been watching your videos nonstop and sending them to my dad to get him riding again.
Thanks for your awesome videos and illustrating everything so it's simple to understand! Also having multiple videos on the same subject is UNBELIEVABLY HELPFUL, it's so much easier to catch things I misunderstood in the first. You're saving lives, keep it up!!
Your a skilled instructor, I have always tried to inform others with the same points, but you have done an outstanding job here. Definitely will refer others to this.
Perfect, short and quality presentation. Good job done, cover very important aspect on motorcycle riding. When i started, first what i was concerned is proper breaking, trail breaking in corners, thanks to my instructor who always saying “anyone can open throttle, but not many can break” it is very true and super important to practice correct breaking. Eddie, you did a dam good job explaining it so clear and easy, this will be very helpful to new riders. Perfect content, please keep up same.
Fast Eddie!!! Been watching your stuff for the past year. So many of your tips and advice have come in handy when I finally started riding my Honda Grom. The more I watch you the more confident/comfortable I feel. The main pointers are: being a light switch (I constantly talk to myself/think out loud: be a light switch). Another tip you mentioned is to be as nimble with your hands as you would play a piano. Gear is always my top priority as well. Thank you so much!!! Much love from Queens NY. Also, I have the same curse of being blessed with beautiful hair but I prefer your more aggressive look of short hair, you should take a vote lol.
Thanks! Dimmer switch analogy has been really useful. I've only been riding for 4 weeks, but your content has been super-informative...and convinced to practice A LOT!
Great video, I rode a lot in my 20's (3 different bikes, no instruction, just figured it out). In my 60's now with a big cruiser (had for a few years now). Really appreciate you explaining cornering the way you did. Thanks for putting your time and effort into this, it's helped this "older rider" ride better.
A popular tv series where they created masterpiece vehicles out of rust buckets also did the same with bikes. I loved them all. Except for one, for some reason, they deleted the front brake on a chopper. One guy joked, "ah, they just slow ya down". The show was hard to watch after that. What other massive mistakes are they making that could cause loss of life? We have to educate ourselves and double-check every new machine we are thinking of driving. Thanks for the help!!!
I got my first bike license on my 60th birthday today I am 68 years old and I subscribed. I wish I found you before. Love my bike and pleaser riding it. Thank you man.

Thank you being intelligent and knowledgeable enough to accurately articulate information as a practical skill

Awesome!!

thanks for the time and effort you put in to your training videos. we all benefit.

Thanks!!!
Just make sure nobody’s behind you first
I think we do this anyway.
I like the idea of practicing trail breaking at every stop as well, to get used to the feel then it won't freak you out so bad leaned over....

I love your “old school” flip charts. Your explanations made total sense, even to those of us who ride all the time. I’m always learning & will continue to learn through my life. Thank you🙏🏼
thanks! I'm glad they're helpful
Thank you n this is hands down the best lesson/explanation of trail braking I've ever seen/heard.. I'ven riding since age 8. I'm 46 now. The saddle bags in my Harley are all chewed up from dragging curves. I thought everyone knew how to do this. I learned this thru the years without any lessons... The hard way as a young dumb frames kid. I've never been able to put it into words. Phenomenal!!!
Thanks! I hope you continue to take more courses...motojitsu.com has a bunch
Also love the graphics and special effects used in the making of these videos 👍👍👍😁
Thanks!
I like how you didn't made a boring PowerPoint, but something material. It changes from my "intellectual" ass job.
:)
I had an argument with my brother in law about front break.. he's the type of person " you'll flip if you use your front break". I recommended your channel for him to learn and not to end up in an accident..
I've learned a lot from your channel and your videos..keep it up sir, ridesafe.
Yup, one of the biggest myths :)
Harley rider ? :P
Lol Jaimie
surely you'll do a flip ... take off in heaven and foot land the flip in heaven
I’m just starting to ride and I’ve been learning heaps on TH-cam.
But I can confidently say that the way you teach is great. I feel like I’m learning so much more watching your videos than anything else that I’ve watched yet.
I’ll be sure to watch heaps more of your videos and keep on learning.
Thanks 😊
This video has made a huge difference in my safety. As I'm cornering, I'm hearing you say "Keep slowing down." I do, and not going wide anymore. Thank you so much for your teaching.
Awesome!!! That's great!!!
Incredibly insightful video! Keep up the great work Eddie !
From Mauritius!
Thanks!
Thank you for that helpful teaching.
You're welcome!
I think that is the Motojitsu drill I have most to learn after trying it myself. I tried black belt, as I can do the weave in black belt consistently (stupid, right :P), but I grab the breaks too hard too early, so the back wheel was off the ground for 12 feet probably. Think I’ll try white belt and work my way up next time.
Good idea!
Your analogies and drawings are so helpful. The fact that you repeat things instead of breezing over them makes all the difference! I just watched your video about cornering, where you just rode corners, back and forth, describing every step ... from approaching/entering/cornering through/exiting every corner, was sooooo helpful! I felt more confident on my very next ride. All I need now is to conquer u-turns without dropping my bike I’ll be happy. For now it’s 5 point u-turns! Thanks for the awesome videos!!!!!
Thanks!!
I love the brutal honesty in your videos. Other TH-camrs who give this kind of motorcycling lessons seem to always want to wrap their words in fluff so that they are maybe not that stinging, but not you. I really like that because I am coming to the age where I have little patience for people who seem to want to handle me with gloves on. Just give it to me straight and if you tell me I suck at something, it's just all the more motivation for me to work on improving myself.
Keep it up. I am really glad I checked out this channel a few weeks ago.
thanks! Probably because I was in the Marines for 11 years and a drill instructor for 4..no time for bs.
I particularly liked the explanation of front tyre contact patch, under braking.
Yup :)
David Jebson the size of the contact patch has absolutely nothing to do with traction. I know that sounds wrong but the formula for friction has no mention of area! It’s actually the weight pushing down providing more force causing increased traction. A bicycle tire has just as much traction as a super bike tire provided they are made from the same material and have the same weigh on them.
Jay, its so surprising actually in most of the explainign videos they miss this fact. Fals einformation just going around.
I am sure You are the superstar of TH-cam motorcycle riding teachers.
Thank you for this video.
Thanks!
Thank you for video☺️ from today your are my teacher sir
Thanks
Your videos are gold! Thank you for providing this for FREE for us. Your explanations and graphics are so understandable. I'm an adult educator and I'm impressed with your teaching techniques - I bet you don't even realize you're following actual educational methodologies - you're a natural. I'm also a motorcycle rider - have been riding for years - but these are all lessons that I never learned in my safety courses and lessons that I need on the roads. I devour all of your videos and learn so much and practice in the parking lot and take it on the road with me. I'm taking notes and drawing out these practice sessions and will be heading to the parking lot this weekend with my practice cones. I hope I never need to emergency brake (wishful thinking), but WHEN I do, I'll credit you!!

Excellent definition of trail braking. Total traction plus braking is 100! Thank you!
Video excellent, drawings sensational, information life saving, hair magnificent 😀. On a serious note though you really are saving riders lives and we all thank you, cheers Eddie
Thanks!
great video! if someone took away my front brake, i wouldn't touch my bike with a 10-foot pole until it got fixed...
Exactly!!
I had a friend that ride without a front brake. That was stupid as he'll.
I rode it and was freaked the fuck-out
My cornering style:
*slow down to desired corner speed*
Alright time to corner. Gonna corner soon... here it comes. Ok turning soon. About to turn. HEADPOSITIONBODYPOSITIONLEANANGLEOHGODTURN. Accelerate out of turn.
Lol.
hhahahaha
Best Motorcycle channel EVER!
You are saving my life man, I recently got my bike and have zero experience on it. I don’t even drove a stick car before. Last Sunday I went with a friend to “teach me” and all the myths you mentioned are exactly what he said. Obviously i felt unconfident and I ran away.
I’m glad I subscribed to your channel learning a lot this past few days 🤙🏾 keep up the good job brother and let me know if you are thinking on teach or provide courses, I’m totally down for that.
Drive safe.
thanks!! :)

Today you saved my life man.... Just watched your video on the morning. Thank you very much!
Great to hear!!!!!
The more times that I watch this video, the more the "Light" comes on.
Awesome!
Thanks Eddie, great presentation, loved the charts. Most importantly - these are life saving tips! I'm off to practice.....😜
Exactly!
Thank yo so much for that kind of info that the MSF miss.
You're welcome...the MSF is basics. All riders need to take higher level courses to learn higher level riding techniques.
Absolutely the best explanations you will ever find !! Clarity and simplicity on this crucial aspect of biking that ALL riders should study and implement. Well done, MotoJitsu for this video, and many thanks !!
Thanks!
Great video with lots of supplementary information. Really like that the teacher didn’t talk a hundred miles a minute, that he uses easy to understand flip carts, talks like he cares, and left all the jokes behind the scenes. Great video for all those other guys making videos. Learned a lot in one short session.
thanks :)
This is exactly what I need at this point, you must be a psychic :'D
Also, the hair like that looks great, I gotta say
Hahaha thanks
Make the front brake your best friend! Thank you for watching SUBSCRIBE & SHARE! MotoJitsu.com
Im learning something new every day thanks to you .. THANKS !lots of love from small Croatia!
@@saintsrow2631 You're welcome!! :)
Haven't commented in a while but I continue watching, practising, and shared this one via twitter. Keep it coming and I hope you will be able to visit Germany someday!
@@oliverkaten6389 Thank you!!
Always good stuff!
Always a great video, loaded with good info. And you're having a great hair day...haha!!!
Thanks!
This videos are pure GOLD if most of the riders will spend a little time on your chanel or to another chanel's like this , instead of just jump on that bike and giving gas , man this kind of materials are life savings . May God bless you
I rode back in my teens and twenty’s then I got married and had not rode for 35 years then I retired at 55 due to health issues. I then bought a new 2018 Fatboy after taking the motorcycle course. I check out many different utube channels to learn and keep trying to get more educated on riding. I have come across your channel and you have helped me to understand more about riding braking and practicing. I am all yours. Thanks for your lessons and may God Bless you!
Papa P.
Sweet! Now go practice! Start with White Belt in my MotoJitsu program and go from there! Demos on my website, motojitsu.com
MotoJitsu Yes I will do that and make it muscle memory.
👍
@@martyportersr7008 I recommend staying with White Belt until you can do each drill 10 times in a row without messing up before moving to Blue :)
"Keep on damn slowing down." I 'm not sure I was supposed to memorize that particular line yet that is the one that stuck with me!
JK...a fine video and appreciate you making it.
Thanks!
Just watched that video - "100 POINTS OF GRIP with CHAMPSCHOOL's Nick Ienatsch" good stuff thanks for recommending... oh and also was able to start practice on White belt over the week end .. felt good to start :)
Awesome!! Keep at it!
Man I love how you break stuff down, thanks so much for these videos
you're welcome
*Well done!* You are a good teacher! The illustrations are spot on. This is THE ONE video on trail-braking that I will bookmark.
thanks :)

Thanks for making this video Eddie. I started practicing doing tight circles in a parking lot this week after watching one of your other videos you did at an army base. I did okayish, but practice practice practice makes perfect. The material in this video takes it further and is very encouraging.
Also your comment about uphill vs downhill is so very true; stuff I experienced when mountain biking on loose gravel; scared me no end to begin with. Motorbike is still 'Eyes Wide Open' at the moment because of the weight and gravity pull difference. And I found that freezing up is the worst thing to do. It's instinct to feel a bit of fear when learning something new, and damn stupid to ignore it.
Thanks again heaps. I get a lot out of your simplistic explanations.
You're welcome!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️Check out MotoJitsu.com for the links to my app, books, merch, discounts, etc. 👍🏼
Thank you brother ! you are helping a lot of people to understand what is trail braking is. Keep up the great work. You are a true blessing! Ride Safe.
Thanks!
The best video ever! I'm I new rider and front brake practice saved me from hitting a bus that was doing a U-turn. You may have saved my life but at the least a lot of pain.
Best explanation for brake trailing, you always come through when I go back to my practice modes. In this case, I want to feel more secure in my cornering. You were the one that engraved that motto in my mind when I started riding " always practice" :) Thanks Eddie!!
Thanks!!!
You have the best bike videos on TH-cam, I just got my first bike a week ago and have been watching your videos nonstop and sending them to my dad to get him riding again.
Awesome!!!!!
Thanks for your awesome videos and illustrating everything so it's simple to understand! Also having multiple videos on the same subject is UNBELIEVABLY HELPFUL, it's so much easier to catch things I misunderstood in the first. You're saving lives, keep it up!!
Your a skilled instructor, I have always tried to inform others with the same points, but you have done an outstanding job here. Definitely will refer others to this.
Perfect, short and quality presentation. Good job done, cover very important aspect on motorcycle riding. When i started, first what i was concerned is proper breaking, trail breaking in corners, thanks to my instructor who always saying “anyone can open throttle, but not many can break” it is very true and super important to practice correct breaking. Eddie, you did a dam good job explaining it so clear and easy, this will be very helpful to new riders. Perfect content, please keep up same.
Thanks!
The most amazing, simple and fully detailed video explained in Trail Braking i've ever saw. You, my friend, are one master Jedi. Congrats
Thanks!
Fast Eddie!!! Been watching your stuff for the past year. So many of your tips and advice have come in handy when I finally started riding my Honda Grom. The more I watch you the more confident/comfortable I feel. The main pointers are: being a light switch (I constantly talk to myself/think out loud: be a light switch). Another tip you mentioned is to be as nimble with your hands as you would play a piano. Gear is always my top priority as well. Thank you so much!!! Much love from Queens NY. Also, I have the same curse of being blessed with beautiful hair but I prefer your more aggressive look of short hair, you should take a vote lol.
You’re welcome!
Thanks! Dimmer switch analogy has been really useful. I've only been riding for 4 weeks, but your content has been super-informative...and convinced to practice A LOT!
Great video, I rode a lot in my 20's (3 different bikes, no instruction, just figured it out). In my 60's now with a big cruiser (had for a few years now). Really appreciate you explaining cornering the way you did. Thanks for putting your time and effort into this, it's helped this "older rider" ride better.
Thanks!
A popular tv series where they created masterpiece vehicles out of rust buckets also did the same with bikes. I loved them all. Except for one, for some reason, they deleted the front brake on a chopper. One guy joked, "ah, they just slow ya down". The show was hard to watch after that. What other massive mistakes are they making that could cause loss of life? We have to educate ourselves and double-check every new machine we are thinking of driving. Thanks for the help!!!
