What tip do you recommend?
I like the way of presenting and foot steps position
Very important part! We can absorb a lot of feedback with our legs 🦵 almost like another suspension. Helps us move around easier on the bike as well from side to side.
I was told to apply a great deal of my body weight to the right peg while in a left lean corner, with nearly all of your body's weight going towards applying pressure to the chassis. Same thing for a right leaning corner.
Left foot pressure to the peg almost to the point of lifting your whole body off the seat.
This is a great series! Thanks for doing this! I would love to know what you think are good starting bikes for the track that would fit someone around 6ft. I wanted an R3 but was warned it was too small for me.
Thank you for taking the time to share! I also put a lot of weight on the outside peg or the turn I’m doing from apex out. Help stand the bike up on acceleration and get on the meat of the rear tire.
Our legs take a beating lol
I want to give you a huge thank you for this video, it illustrated what I have been doing wrong with my feet. I have been on my toes, but not on the edge of the foot peg! Keeping my feet up close to the frame was causing major limitations in how much I could get my leg out! It was a true AhHA moment! Thanks again!
Thank you so much 🙏 you are exactly why I do this! I love those game changer moments, it’s like riding in a whole new light. I have a video dedicated to foot work in more detail. Thank you again!
For people who have a bit of experience, but have hit a wall, this is my offering. The first one is an extension of your look…feet instruction.
1: LOOK where you’re going. FEEL what you’re doing.
2: If you’re not on the brakes, you’re on the throttle.
3: Everybody else is doing it. Why can’t we?
3: Smooth, smooth, smooth.
So;
1: Feel (not feelings), is an essential part of knowing your limit (if you’re not yet fast) and your bike’s limit (if you are fast). Also great for when someone approaches and asks you to race their (slightly different) bike.
2: this doesn’t mean full throttle, or full braking all the time. It means there is no time gap between the use of each tool. If you roll off, coast, then brake. You are slow. If you don’t move straight back to throttle when braking is complete, you are slow. And also leave yourself open to a front end lose.
3: You’ve got your track/race bike, but you don’t have speed. Question why. Ask fast people on the same bike/tyre/suspension combo (or near to yours) who know their reasons. Most fast racers (to a point) will always give good advice. But once you improve to a point, they (fairly) will now say, “it’s up to you”. This is when you must find good people to make a support crew for yourself.
3: Smooth, smooth, smooth. Is a calming measure to say to yourself. Or imagine someone who loves you saying it softly.
Also. CONCENTRATE. If you’ve read this far, you’ll notice 3: twice! And if not, you just crashed into the back of the rider in front of you!
This is great information! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience. These are solid tips.
What a brilliant explanation, perfect balance of detail, not too indepth and confusing, not too vague.
Thank you so much Jake! 🙏 It’s a tricky balance of trying to provide info and not putting people to sleep with too much info😂 Tire selection and Tire pressures is on deck for next video!
Massive lessons in the vid for me! The way you explain things is simply great! Thanks for doing this. I'm definitely subbing and will be digging out your other vids for more learning. Thanks man
Thank you for the feedback! I’m a little slow to make videos this year as I joined the Army. Im planning one soon.
This video is pure gold! Thanks for the time and effort put on this!
You are most welcome! Thank you for watching 🙏 Finishing up a long over due video of tips for riding in the heat!
@daboush , one of the best and simple advice. Excellent video. Thank you
Thank you! I appreciate you!
Great video - thanks!
My new favorite channel. Thank you for the amazing vids!
My new favorite subscriber! Thank you 🙏 working on this weeks video today!
Simple and great tips
Thank you for taking the time to comment 🙏
Thank you for your tips
Thank you for taking the time to comment 🙏 season starts this Monday so I’ll be back to cranking out content! Trail breaking and another body position video seem to be the more favored ones. If you want me to cover any topic just let me know!
Awesome videos!! Keep ‘em coming!
Thank you for watching! Every Thursday I’ve been posting a video! Next week is airfence safety! Via JRA request :)
this was a great video, thank you!
Thank you! I appreciate your comment! Working on some new content!
Greets from Croatia. Love the fact you actually reply to comments. Your vids are very easy to watch and LEARN from, even at my age of 58 , both hips replaced but still keen as ever . Keep rolling 🤟p.s. Big like for the Doberman.
Croatia 🇭🇷 Beautiful! Welcome! I appreciate your awesome comment very much. Respect to both hips replaced ! Be an inspiration and keep rollin ✊
Great video maker with sense of humor but valuable info :) thanks!
I appreciate the comment! Thank you!
Sweet video and thank you for the tips
I plan to keep them coming! Thank you for taking the time to comment Colin! 🙏 Ride Safe!
Hi, new subscriber from Portugal. New on riding in track days, this has helped me a lot. Hope to see more lessons from you!
Thank you 🙏 Ecuyer67! Welcome to the channel and track day riding, I plan to post once a week content.
This is a very well put together video and you’re a natural on camera. Well done man.
Wow thank you for the kind words 🙏 it really means a lot! I am going to make a part 2 of this video. It’s the most engaged video followed by the trailer organizational tips. Enjoy and be safe!
I have 4 dobermans!! Your's is beautiful! I like to use the force of the brakes coming up on a turn to help lift my bum off the seat...less stress on my legs.
A human of good and similar taste! I can't imagine what it's like having 4!! That must keep you on your toes lol Yea our legs take a beating when we ride these things!
@@dabosch11 Oh it's NEVER a dull moment, and you never get a moment to "yourself", someone always needs pets! LOL Yeah our legs take a pounding, so anything I can do like using decel to lift me up, i do it..otherwise you get off the bike walking like a baby giraffe because your legs are turned to wet noodles! LMAO!
This was beautiful bro, thank you for the instructions
I appreciate it! Hope the videos can help! I joined the Army this year so once training is done I’ll be back at posting videos again!
@@dabosch11 congrats brother! I’m a vet as well. Did four years in the Navy. Looking forward to more instructional videos and becoming one with the bike
New subscriber from sunny SoCal. Very much like your content! Helpful I've done 2 trackdays and watched multiple videos, found this one very helpful (especially the part where you are on the bike shifting your body from side to side w/o using your as.... I'm going to practice that!!!!!
Welcome Allen! Very much appreciate your comment 🙏 ooo the honey moon stage for you! Just make sure you have some solid stands to practice. I was using front stand thru triple tree and rear stand. Any questions let me know. Ride safe!
Loved the shots of the feet, especially on the transitions. Thank you.
I Thank you! I created a video specific on footwork. Lots to learn from foot control and placement.
@@dabosch11 completely agreed. I've found when I get my feet planted well, like you showed, I'm a lot more secure when I'm moving around. As a result, keeping a light touch on the bars is a lot easier.
thanks for the advice.
You are most welcome. I hope it helps in your journey and riding! Be safe!
Hey I have one more question ifyou don't mind. When we are leaning off the bike, are you kind of pushing the bike upward so the bike itself is not leaned over as much or are you also counter steering the bike to lean as well as our body being off the bike?@@dabosch11
Good explanations, nice video camera angles.
Thank you for taking your time to comment and notice Steve 🙏 Next video will be about type of tires and pressures for Novices on the track.
Last season was sh*t so getting ready for the next one, refreshing the basics and theory while the roads are bad.
I had to scroll down a bit to find your video but I'm glad I did. Accurate points, good example, humour and nice energy, it's different from the other showoffs or TH-cam monetisation addicts.
Please keep it up and keep it true. I'll be watching your other videos but I'll subscribe first to not miss the next ones.
Thank you for the comment and kind words!! 🙏
All good last year?
Posted a new video yesterday about how I set up the trailer. Will do some off season content like training since most peoples season is done.
Great instruction. First time watching, new subscriber
I appreciate it! I joined the Army 3 months ago so once I get padded Medic training I will start posting content again!
great, yet "simple" advices and video. you earned a sub! V
Thank you for the Sub! Happy and safe riding! This was one of the older videos, I feel I have improved the videos quality
more this year.
great footage, looks like you can hold yourself to your own tips excellently!
Thank you 🙏 Being a coach the last 6 years I’ve learned so much from coaches and riders. They all have some knowledge and are stronger in other areas.
@@dabosch11 you’re also strong on humility! A good trait to have. 👍
Good video man. Thanks. 😊
I thank you! I really appreciate it! Check out todays video!
Very nice view of feet position also nice explained lean angle which is real worth to do! Short and perfect
Thank you for watching and for the comment! 🙏 I appreciate you! Any questions let me Know!
Man this is great.
I've always struggeled to understand how to position my body correctly when putting my knee down, but thanks to your Footwork-cam I now understand what I'm doing wrong.
The way you explain things is also very down to earth and easy to understand.
Much respect from Upper-Austria, keep doing what you're doing :)
I am very happy it has helped! Ich Leibe Ostereich! Mien Vater ist Osterreicher (lower Austria) I was there in May visiting my Opa who lives in Lustenau. In my what's in my bag video I have some footage riding thru the alps.
Foot work makes a huge difference to position yourself comfortably on the motorcycle. It's the root of your entire body position on the bike.
Nice work my friend!
Thank you so much! 🙏
Great video!!
Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏
Saving this for sure
1 month later I tried this and *I DID IT!* I had done knee downs on both sides❤️🔥
That is something to be excited about! Great Job! That feeling will always stick with you :)
nice video very informative
Thank you very much! I am excited about todays video, 7 tips for Novice track day riders! Just taking a while. 9 hrs to expert a 7 minute video lol
Awesome video brother
Thank you for watching and comment 🙏 you are much appreciated!
Dude, we need more of this! Thanks and I wish we had more butt cam and looking back over the tank videos. It's incredibly useful watching the body movement and setting up with the butt. Thanks for this great video.
The next video I will post a lap or close to it with the butt cam. I agree I learn a lot from this view as well. This and the hand controls. Thanks for commenting!
Love this. I’m doing my fourth track day since I started last year, in June. My problem previously was scraping the pegs.
How has it been so far? That’s awesome you’re taking it to the track. I scraped a lot of pegs at the beginning . Body position and adjustable rear sets help for sure.
@@dabosch11 Oh I have the bug for sure! Last year was my first track experience, and this year I’m already signed up so far for 4 more days. Now I have a hitch, canopy, trailer, camp setup, etc so I can be one of the cool kids (I rode to all 3 of my track days last year, lol).
Hoping to apply this soon man. Thanks for this great vid. Shoutout to all your Filipino viewers out there.
Hello to the Filipinos! I really hope this helps and thank you for the comment!
Beautiful vid and tips! 👏 give this man some subscribers!
Thank you thank you 🙏 for the comment! I will continue to learn and improve. Any questions/ideas that pop in your head let me know!
Good video ..
Well done .
Would be nice to see more content ...
Thank you I appreciate your comment and will work on getting routine and more content. It’s been challenging however no excuses!!
Thanks, that helped me with the coaches feedback at CMP.
That is awesome! What helped you? CMP is becoming a favorite to go to for me.
@@dabosch11 The position of my feet is something I never really thought much about until I saw this. And at the very end you posted the two comparison pics which points out exactly where I'm at. I can scrape my bike leaning but I don't get off the bike enough. It's definitely something for me to work on next season. I have neck/back issues that drive my posture so I need to get that sorted out in the meantime.
Colt love that it helped a little! The pictures are an exaggeration, you def. don’t need to hang off that much. It’s about finding the balance of what’s comfortable and safe for you on your ride. Baby steps on adjustments and movements. Manifesting all goes well with your neck and back 🙏
I liked that rear view that shows your feet positioning on the transitions. So many videos on here but not any / many that really show what’s going on.
I will be sure to record that angle this weekend and elaborate on the movements for a video next week!
Show de bola!
De cuales bolas hablas 😂
Glad to see I’m not the only one who middle finger grabs the front brake.
I don't see to many of us out there! I think Casey Stoner ex MotoGP rider was one as well.
Great video boss
Alot of motor bike vids lack houmor and diversity in the camera style. Great job keep it coming 👍
Thank you Sean Duffy for watching and taking notice 🙏 I am learning new things every week on film and editing! As well as riding lol. I Wanted to bring a different perspective as you pointed out :)
Great content bro! More race track tips!
Thank you 🙏 I do appreciate the comment. Any tip/tips in specific you want me to cover in a video?
How about proper entries and exits on corners? Which would include proper braking and throttle control techniques.
Thank you for the idea! If it’s race craft specific tips I would look at the corner from reverse. Exit, apex, entry and start tweaking and modifying based on exit. You want to get on the gas as soon as possible that = faster lap times. Look at your “braking” as setting your speed for the corner. I like to trail into a corner with my middle finger do what feels natural and transition to the throttle as smooth and quick as possible. Reference points will help understand where and when to make inputs.
@@dabosch11 that would be a great content bro! Will wait for it.
Thank you again Jon! I will get to creating!
Best moto content I've seen
Wow thank you for that comment Peter and thank you for watching! I appreciate that. Learning the equipment more and more everyday! Ride safe!
Nice
Thank you! Appreciate the comment!
Good instructional vlog with some humor interjected. Awesome!! I liked how you made it a point about body position and doing what is comfortable to you.
2 years ago I was involved in a car accident where I was rear ended. L4-L5 got screwed up and I was off the bike/track for over a year. I have really had to adopt to what my body was capable of post accident plus the fact I'm 59 years old.
I now ride a 18' Triumph Street Triple RS. More upright and relaxed foot peg height but still big fun, at least for me, to rail around on in the twisty's and do a few track days.
Subscribed. Ride safe!
Welcome to the channel {N} !
I really appreciate you watching and your comment 🙏 . Wow I am glad you are okay! I tip my hat off to you for getting back on the horse. That’s a challenge to over come.
Fun is why we do this! Enjoy the miles with other awesome humans along the way. Let’s enjoy the ride!
I think I've learned more about footing and body position from your videos than anyone else on youtube. I have many questions though. when your flying down a long straight away do you use the clutch when down shifting, or just push the shifter down without using the clutch. In motocross we don't use the clutch downshifting. thank you
I really appreciate that. You make it all worth it! I would pull in the clutch for every gear. I don't lose control, I have engine braking, less mistakes can occur when you do induvial shifts. I know plenty of riders that pull in the clutch and bang down 2-3 gears. Not sure if this is good for the motorcycle either as far as wear and tear.
cool vid great footage. keep them coming. i am trying to learn the vision thing its a bit of a mind bender. any tips that helped you along the way ?
Thank you 🙏 Karac Kennedy I appreciate your comment :)
Reference points will be a good starting point for your vision. Practice always having a reference point to look at when you are making inputs. ( where am I looking when I am applying the brakes, turning in, accelerating out for example.
Use these points to get comfortable with where you are on track and know what’s coming. Try to keep your vision up as hig as possible. The more we look down the faster things happen in our brain and less time to react. If you are looking down the road you have more time to react/correct the motorcycle.
Pick your favorite turn and get comfy with it. Find brake markers, turn in points, apex, and a spot on the track where you start applying throttle on exit.
Hope this helps a little!
Thank you! Yes now you said it looking down really distorts things , I’ll be practicing the visual in the car on the way to work to build the habit - looking forward to next vids 👍
That is a brilliant idea and way to practice. I will share this!
Next video is going to be about tires focusing mainly on type of tires and pressures. I could make several on just tires lol.
U got some dope aesthetics
I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment Gideon! Posting another video today :)
Great vid! Mid-corner do support most your weight with your inside or outside leg?
Mid corner my weight is on the inside of the peg transitioning to the outside of the peg. When I reach apex/acceleration reference points I want to stand the bike up on the meat of the tires to apply more gas. I use my outside leg/foot to pick the bike up
Learned so much from this video. Question. In corners do you also use the outside elbow on the gas tank to help hang off the bike or just the legs ? Thank you.
You mainly use your legs for the support to hand off, the arm draped over the gas tank is more of a stabilizer if that makes sense. There’s not a ton of weight on the arm. The arms want to be loose and light.
Any more episodes please 🙏 thanks
Thank you for taking the time to comment! Working on the next one today and will be released next week! Going to Road Atlanta next week for 2 days so I will be sure to film a lot!!
I just love CMP
I agree ☝️ year after year it grows on me more and more! The food is becoming a staple! That’s the fat kid in me 😂 Go Kart track is super cool at night too!
I’ve read and been told to hold the throttle grip like a screwdriver. This will aid body position for right hand turns.
I agree ☝️ with that. Doesn’t strain the wrist as much having that grip. It’s a more natural feeling to roll on and off the throttle that way. Combined with a loose grip and your in business! Great comment thank you! 🙏
"You look where you want to go, but your feet take you there." 🤜🤛
It can all be so simple sometimes. Thank you for the reply 🙏
I swear I just learned what “lean angle” is omg!!
You probably won't forget it either!
Hi I'm you're new subscribe from the Philippines😊😊😊 have a nice day
Welcome 🙏 Thank you for joining! Any questions let me know. I wish you wonderful day 😊
Feet are too close to the end of the pegs for my liking, I prefer mine tucked up and my heels on top of the heel guard, but that’s just my preference. Definitely a well explained video though.
I have some bad habits I have to fix for sure! Thanks for the comment!
Awesome bro! How fast do you usually go around turns and on straight areas?
Hi Cody! Depends on the racetrack, motorcycle and skill level. Fastest the r6 goes on the longest straights is around 150mph. (GPS not dash) Fastest corner knee down I would say Virginia International Raceway T17 it's easily over 100+mph. Thank you for the question!
@@dabosch11 Turn 8 at Roebling is 145mph knee down.
Ooo that’s right! Scary fast turn! The person who designed it is nuts 😂
Lord Elrond now rides motorcycle? Well he's got another human ally subbed today.
Love me some LOTR! 😆 thank you very much 🙏 I appreciate you!
Can you please explain more what you mean by ‘stand the bike up with your outer leg’ thanks!
Hi Tomatoobatt Upon corner exit you want to get the bike straight up and down on the meat of the tires as quick as possible. Using your outside leg to apply pressure/pressing down to the foot peg helps stand the bike up when exiting the corner. Dropping your head lower also helps on corner exit to help pick the bike up. Let me know if that is a little more clear.
Dig it!!!
I thank you very much for watching 🙏
Hello DaBosch ,
Thanks for your video on body position , however I have a few questions which I do not yet understand. I’m new to track riding and please forgive my ignorance , I’ve noticed in the video that your inside foot toe is placed on the tip outer edge of the peg , if lets say I place my inside foot on my toes but not on the tip outer edge of the peg , is it wrong and incorrect ?
Thank you for time to respond
Mark
Hi Mark! Welcome to track riding! No not incorrect at all. I recommend your way! Not sure how I got in that habit but it wears thru the soles of my boots quick! I would say it comes down to preference and comfort. I adjusted my inside foot because I was dragging my toe sliders in corners.
2 seconds done. I'll keep in mind the eggs thanks!
2 seconds done? Ya that’s what came to mind 😂 just want to be nice and loose on the bars. Death gripping exerts more energy and you fight the bike!
Great Info bro.. was that CMP? What org. do you coach for? And where you trail braking though the whole corner?
Thank you for watching 🙏 Great eye, the onboard footage is CMP! I coach for PRE Track Days. I was trailing until apex. I should turn in later, trail less so I can get on gas earlier in that turn. CMP rider, my man!
@@dabosch11 After running off at T8 it looked real familiar..lol
😂 that’s a fast turn! Love T 8 and T11. Almost as much as I love the new food vendor they have haha
@@dabosch11 They have food now?? I haven’t been back there in about 3 or 4 years now. I’m really just getting back after my crash at Roebling a few years back. And my confidence is all the way back yet. But looking forward to getting back to CMP soon.
It’s changed completely! The food is legit, smoked BBQ and chicken he puts on the day before, new repave, Rumble strips, got rid of those poles, sick Go kart track that run events at night, Re done and added some bathrooms, they are putting love into it. Tracks aren’t going anywhere, take your time with recovery. Roebling is a rough one to crash at! Glad you are okay.
I struggle with left knee downs, I can get it down every right corner but lefts maybe once out of 10 corners. It's either my confidence or body positioning.
You are ahead of the game! Most struggle with the opposite. Throttle side is usually more difficult. I believe you are correct with confidence and BP.
The mentality that you already are better at right over left. Practice being mindful with what your body is doing during the right handers (especially throttle side) and trying to apply the balance more on the left. Change the mindset and approach to the left handers and mimic what you are doing on the opposite side. The mind is bizarre!
Thank you for posting 🙏
@@dabosch11 Thank you, I will give it a go next time i'm out. thanks for the quick reply
Absolutely! Let me know if you have any other questions and how it goes. I want to hear you are slaying both pucks! Thank you again for commenting!
Train with 2 cone and make a 8 shape
That is a great idea!
spaghetti Noodle arms is something every rookie struggles
I struggle with this the first track day of the year. So much rust to kick off and I feel so stiff from the off season of not riding on track.
if you attended one of racing school europe's courses, you will be at least 2 seconds faster!
I used to do like you but now I have found a lot of time by changing my foot position.
see motogp and pay special attention to their outside foot
Thank you for commenting I know a lot of older style riders in gp have this style and the sport is always progressing! I do find myself during transitions staying on the balls of my feat for quick flicks. I will try the tip next week, thank you!
Some good points about staying relaxed on the bars and foot position. But disagree with the theory of a larger contact patch from BP. That is a theory myth.
Thank you for the comment Ed. Means a lot coming from you!
Done subscribing bro
Thank you Deja Vu and welcome to the channel 🙏 Anything that pops into your head or questions that you want me to cover let me know and I’ll do my best to answer or find the answer for you. Happy riding!
@@dabosch11 do you have a facebook?
Yes Dean Bosch and Instagram DaBosch11
Nice content..now please cover downshifting also.. without quickshifter
Thank you 🙏 for watching and the new idea for content. In the meantime finding your downshifting reference point is a good start. Notice where you start banging your downshifts at what point in the track. From there you may have to adjust your throttle hand so you can manipulate the throttle and brake at the same time. When you are braking it’s a smooth application and blip of the throttle when changing gears (give it a quick turn of the throttle to match the rpm’s so the rear tire doesn’t get too out of sorts) so the application is braking, and when you downshift you give it a little throttle (while keeping same pressure on brake)
I’ll explain with visuals in the video I create.
@@dabosch11 thank you so much for explanation..
Trackday junkies led me here. I’m not new to track riding, but have a question for you. How do you understand looking through the turn? As in, if I was in a helicopter hovering above a corner, and was looking down at a rider “looking through the turn”, if his eyes had lasers, where would those be pointed?
Hi Jason! Reference points will be your best friend when moving at higher speeds. Getting reference points for all the inputs you make is what builds the muscle memory and confidence. That is why you can push thru blind turns, knowing where your markers are and where to hit them. Starting off slow and building the pace. Then comes trusting yourself to shift your vision from reference point to reference point faster. The quicker you can stay "ahead" of your riding the more time you have to think and react. You gave me a great idea to make an episode on just vision! Thank you for watching and let me know what other questions you may have!
Hi i am also do first time and only one thing i notice start the first lap very slow and increase speed after 2nd round and after 3rd lap you will be get 70 %your questions anser and you will be filled by confidence, now its time to implementation of tips which you get by your source and you tube
Yes you are right! That’s the best way to learn is our way! We can only learn so much but until we do it we won’t know!
Holly shit, that brake lever is about to fuck off to different planet..
This comment has been one of my favorites lol It's a happy lever.
Ok maybe this will sound stupid but how hard do you counter steer? I feel like i am not pushing handlebar hard enough in fast corners.
Not at all. The faster the speed the more We have to push during transitions. Roebling road and VIR grand course or those fast S sections are where I feel the most input. It’s still not super hard. The head helps steer the bike easier throwing the head in first.
@@dabosch11 Thanks. I am pretty sure my body position is on point in most corners but I feel like I am running out of lean. I will counter steer harder on next track day :))) Good video ;)
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate that!
What makes you feel like you are running out of lean? Some adjustments I made past year is scooting more forward in the seat with a little gap between the man parts and tank. I use to ride in the back because I thought I was putting traction on the rear tire. I felt my front end sluggish, or like I was behind the inputs. Now riding upfront, the bike street razor sharp; there is no waiting to turn.
BP I was running out of lean until I started to hang off a little more. Now at the moment I am dragging the very top of the boot and I’m keeping the knee closer to the tank for ground clearance.
Next video will be posted tonight /tom about Air Fence safety systems!
@@dabosch11 I don’t know man it just feels weird in some corners. I will try all of the things you mentioned. Thanks a lot! Instill have few warm days left until it gets too cold for track days :(
Our track organization’s season ended two weeks ago :( content creation to get us thru the winter! Florida or California if we start Jonsing too much.
Plz make more tutorial vid
Thank you Sheela!🙏 anything specific you have In mind?
do you throttle when the motorcycle is leaning or no
Yes! You want to start applying the throttle as soon as possible/feel comfortable. Roll on the throttle instead of just twisting the throttle super aggressive. Feel it out, help stand the bike up on the meat of the tires by dropping your head and picking the bike up. Have a reference point for your acceleration so you know where to build off of. Use all of the track.
😊
Simba! 🙂
@@dabosch11 yes mr
@simbamukandatsama6333 happy new year!
@@dabosch11 same to mr
Hey DaBosch, I don't understand why you would place your inside foot on the tip of the peg as you do when you go through the "real world examples." It seems like that foot position would do little to support your body and wondering why you do it
Hi Jordan 👋 yea it’s a habit I am trying to change. You want to be on the balls of your feet not the tips like I do(a bit extreme). You put a hole in your boot quicker that way too. I like to be further up for ground clearance. A lot of the support comes from my quads and core so doesn’t bother me with support. I like to be super listen on my feet and hands and met the bike provide it’s feedback.
@@dabosch11 Thanks man, super cool to see a reply. A like and subscribe from me 😁
Thank you 🙏 Any other questions or recommendations let me know. Thank you again for helping grow the community!
You need a light in your garage when filming ;)
I purchased lights! I agree with you!
I didn’t use my clutch or throttle hand to like this video. I used my nose
I like your style 😂 I appreciate you and thank you 🙏
Dear, what should be the distance from your crotch to the tank? Thanks!
Great question! A good place to start would be a fist between crotch and tank. Thank you for the question. Any other questions let me know.
There is no way my legs spread so much apart xD
🤣 that’s funny! No need to spread your legs like that lol Do what’s comfy. I’ve noticed as I increased speed in corners I’m keeping my knee closer to the tank for more ground clearance.
“ Stand the motorcycle up with your outer leg “
Can somebody explain this a little more ?
Thank you.
I’m going to make a video about foot work! In this case using your legs to move the motorcycle to a straight up and down position(stand the bike up). Once you are done braking for the turn you use your outside leg/foot to help push the bike from lean to straight up. You want to accelerate on the meat of the rear tire.
Pep[le don't know counter steering.
What’s that? 😛 That’s a great idea! Demonstrate counter steering on road bike. Show them the difference between the inputs in change of direction.
One full minute of bs and waste. Start at 1:00
Thanks for the feedback!
