Studying The Art And Science Of Passing

36 days after being taken out at Summit Point and breaking my collarbone it's time to get back on the grid. Learning how to read the riders ahead of you and properly setting up a pass is probably one of the biggest skill sets that needs to be developed to be a proficient trackday rider or racer.

The way you turned the bike while the rear was bouncing all over in T1 while outbraking me was super sick to look at lol felt like some MA Pro came around. In my helmet I was saying mannn this guy got some serious skills. Had a blast racing with you💯

[@jaottobotto]

Always great to share the track with riders you can trust. Look forward to doing it with you again!

[@mmntmusa]

100% love this. Racing is cerebral. Love hearing the narrative because there’s so few people that ever do this.

[@OilyNinja]

Dude you ruined my workout… I watch TH-cam between sets and I was so glued to this video I lost my pump lol. I’ve got my first track day dec 22 so I’m watching all the amateur biking I can.

[@brdw]

Thank you so much for posting this video. This was extremely great to watch.

[@NHlocal]

Definitely good insight on what you're thinking as you are behind the
other racers. Being fairly new to racing I am just beginning get into
situations like these. I appreciate you sharing your thought process
with passing, it helps.
Thanks and keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🏍

Thanks, I appreciate the videos and all the insight you provide. Very helpful. Been doing Trackday’s a while and want to start racing

[@636man4]

Thanks for posting! I really appreciate the commentary! I'm thinking of trying for a race license this year and I gain a lot of perspective with your videos! Cheers!

[@VState60]

Too damn cool! Keep ‘em coming!

[@kenaiyuki]

Heading there this weekend your video is very helpful, your lap times are impressive

[@d4jsmit]

Great insight into your setup/ pass process. Thanks for doing these. Would love to see a more detailed breakdown of your thought process for a specific lap (for example, a lap w commentary about how you’re picking brake points, etc.) Keep ‘em coming!

[@out2burn]

I feel the track days calling me back soon. Stay healthy.

[@josegerman8877]

Kelvin is a beast and his boy Richard too ...Love the breakdown commentary!!!!!

[@motosurgeofficial]

Awesome video, very informative commentary as well. I just started my own channel to start documenting the improvements I make and planning on jumping into my first race in 2024. Subbed!

[@bikeaddictbp]

Great riding and commentary. Subscribed!

[@matttriestodothings]

Thanks for making these videos--they're super helpful to an amateur like me.

[@AsianVoodoo]

Yes man this voice over was fun as hell to watch!

[@HarrowedDreams]

Been waiting for you to do another voice over !! Hellyeah!

[@noseishin]

Good racing. I crashed out the day before and got injured. Missed the whole weekend.

[@snaaail]

Awesome stuff, good racing

[@smithshotracing6013]

Good vid.. and very informative.. and thanks for the forks.

[@joebobbyrobot]

Having only done mini road racing, the chase is half the fun.

[@JdTopv5]

Great racing

[@henriquedicurrida]

Awesome content! I love to checkout my recordings and do some thinking about it. I always found out places on track that I need to improve while rewatching it.

[@xgironx]

Subscribed. Sharing. Helpful. Insight into racecraft that’s new to me. “Drive-on” … are those Captain’s bars on your bubble?
“Inside the enemy’s decision-cycle”

[@jaottobotto]

Yes. 16 years and going, E1/CWO/LDO (Capt)

[@33brianmorris]

You have better entry speed on these guys but they seem to have better exit drive, do you think the two are mutually exclusive? Like maybe they are setting up the corner to drive out earlier/harder and sacrificing entry speed in the process? I feel like I’m better on the brakes as well but my exit drive isn’t so good and I’m wondering if it’s because of how I’m getting to the apex.

[@barry5138]

What bike do you ride mate? Sounds great, very smooth as well

[@mbrad2669]

Nice👍

[@Grateful4Today]

is that an R12005 that you're riding ?! if so, it reminded me when I owned it was super enjoyable to ride on and off track 🤟

[@NudaMan]

That’s a 08-16 R6, I can tell by the sound and the dash going to 16k rpm’s vs a 05 R1 having like 12k-13k rpm’s on the dash

[@Mad8vCycles]

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles

[@Original21panos]

Hehe you 've studied a lot of sun Tzu

[@goldengooch1867]

Lap 1 T1 that was Kelvin just running too deep on the brakes.

[@justrollwithitdj6659]

Damn dude do you coach 😅
