    Seriously. This was a solid and clear presentation. I'm gonna watch this like 10 times over, so that these tips really sink in. And ofcourse do the drills when the snow finally melts. I already have a turn track in my backyard.
    Thanks!!👍

  • @gregstirling7588
    @gregstirling7588 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Terrific guidance. Only thing I would ask for greater elaboration in is the critical juncture from acceleration to deceleration. I feel coasting is too vaugue. I prefer maintain speed. We use this in car racing and and the deceleration/ acceleration transition is not black or white. In theory it’s nice to aim for but making a mistake is the bigger cost to bear. Hitting the line and finding that line to maximize the acceleration is perhaps more important than a perfect deceleration without any coasting. Kyle is amazing in his articulate teaching of technique. Great material!
