@@MotocrossHideout It's okay. You can be a great rider without ever having studied statics and dynamics. And you can help others with their riding without having learned these fields. The concern comes when people who have studied hear you making statements that either mean nothing at all or are technically wrong. That just gets you a reputation for not knowing what you're talking about so it's best to refrain from getting technical and keep it simple. I hope that helps you.
You're obviously way smarter and have more knowledge than me good for you! 😉 To me, it just sounded like you were saying that changing body position makes a difference in the direction of force, which makes perfect sense to me, but that it also doesn't change the amount of traction you'll get, which doesn't make sense to me because you're less likely to slide out (lose traction) if you're not using the proper body position while turning on a flat corner.
@@MotocrossHideout No need to get defensive. I took the classes and you didn't which has nothing to do with how smart we are comparatively. My original comment is merely to communicate that the reason the tire slides sideways is due to direction of force and not amount of traction. One can keep the bike from sliding out on a near zero traction condition, like a couple inches of snow on asphalt, by keeping the force vector close enough to plumb. Conversely, one can slide out on high traction conditions, such as clean dry smooth asphalt, by applying excess perpendicular level force. Imagine the force applied to the riding surface having a direction and a magnitude. Now shadow that force vector straight down and straight sideways -- those shadows are the vertical component and the horizontal component of the force vector.
Thanks for your reply. I wasn't trying to be defensive - I simply didn't understand the point of your comment. You had said to keep it simple, which is what I was trying to do for the average trail rider watching this video :) I'm pretty sure that I fully understand what you're communicating about the force and direction of angle. Yes, I fully agree that you can slide out in high or low traction surfaces. My point in the video was to communicate that if you shift your body position so that it's putting more weight over the tires, you'll have more "potential" traction, in simple terms, allowing you to increase your speed (increasing the force?) without sliding out. For example, if you're riding a flat corner and leaning with the bike, the tires will slide out at a lower speed than if you were positioned more approppriately and over the tires, if that makes sense.
The video had good content but wasn't edited very well. Very choppy... parts of the video were not clean when you spliced different segments together. I enjoy your videos and do learn quite a bit... this particular video was not your best effort....
@MotocrossHideout I didn't make it through the whole video... Clicked off when your cuts were right in the middle of you speaking. To be fair I was only watching to see why th OP thought your editing was terrible. At first I really didn't see anything wrong with it, but then 😆🤏

best in the game!!!
good stuff brotha. now do us all a favor an drywall your garage.
Thanks, Wyatt. It's on the to-do list, it's just not a priority at the moment, unfortunately. :(
Why? This is fine.
It's not the difference in traction, it's the direction of force.
Yes, but the correct direction of force gives you better traction as a result :) Thanks for watching.

This was edited way to fast...
Thanks for your feedback, Chad. What kind of edit were you looking for?
@MotocrossHideout he's saying it's sloppily put together
Okay, I'm all for improving! Is there anything specific that would make it less sloppy?
Thanks,
