Love it mate! Cheers You hear so much about trail breaking, but to actually have it defend in your way is simply-AMAZING you got my sup! Shout out from Melbourne Aus 🤙
Great video Stu! Lots of great information in an easy to digest fashion. You are still the man. P.S. Love the UMRA sticker on the bike. We gotta get you a shirt! ;-)
Can you talk about how to brace for the forward momentum during hard braking? I can't help but have some weight on my hands; I then unload the weight from my hands, unto my legs as I let off the break and before I tip-in. Is that correct?
Sounds about right. You will always have some force on your hands when you are hard on the brakes. You can try to brace yourself using your knees against the tank and your core to hold you, but you will still have some force on your arms/hands. You try to minimize the force as best you can but it is always there.
Yes I do. Some of my bikes have auto blippers which makes it easy. My current race bike doesn't have an auto blipper so I have to blip the throttle myself. I think rev matching by flipping the throttle is best. Once you get the hang of it it isn't that hard to do and doesn't take much of your attention. However, I think you can also downshift without flipping the throttle, but you have to let the clutch out slowly. I think that way is a little harder to do smoothly and takes more of your attention. Maybe I should do a video on this ?
You are right, you counter steer to lean the bike into the corner (turn the wheel away). Once you get the bike leaned over the tire will turn into the corner. I hope that makes sense...

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the topic. Melbourne is a great city, I had so much fun visiting there and riding PI.
Crisply explained with video, best advice out there! Thanks Stu.
Great video. Just found u last night and love your content. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much Stu! Fantastic explanation. Looking forward to Chuckwalla on the 29th!
I'll be there Saturday. Hit me up and we'll do some laps :)

Thanks Tony, Glad you like it. I'll get a shirt from you next time and wear it in a video.

You rev match when downshifting?
What are your thoughts on rev matching?
Yes I do. Some of my bikes have auto blippers which makes it easy. My current race bike doesn't have an auto blipper so I have to blip the throttle myself.

@stumanrides Thanks for sharing that.
Yes you should absolutely do a video on it. Content is the name of the game you're in.
Wait so you turn the wheel into the corner or away from the corner? I always though away
You are right, you counter steer to lean the bike into the corner (turn the wheel away). Once you get the bike leaned over the tire will turn into the corner. I hope that makes sense...
@@stumanrides perfect sense I just saw when you were demonstrating you turned the wheel Into the corner...I was like "wow been doing it wrong"
