- This video I breakdown motorcycle body positioning. I and many amateur racers have some bad habits. try to point them out then show a better way to apply them. I used another video by MotoAmerica Pro Racer @NolanLamkin21
I'm not new to riding, but new to racing. Thanks for the knowledge and everyone else in the comments. In racing every bit of knowledge you can learn is always appreciated!.
No problem, and thanks for watching and commenting.. Much appreciated.
Super important quality highlighted at @0:40. Damn shame more people aren't like this.
thanks man... I try to not be a know it all.
I've been riding track on and of for the last thirty years ...on right now. Most tend to over exaturate lower body movement and not enough upper body wich tend to cross you up and cause the transition from left to right to be awkward and upper body too central and passive. You can see the difference in upper body positioning and movement of the pro. Awesome video ...i really enjoy your content....subbed and good luck
yeah, I still need a lot of work.. and your assessment is correct about some riders mostly using their lower body.. and thank you for watching and the compliment..
So an interesting thing I noticed while watching the two videos, is look how much higher Nolan's legs are on the bike. His knees reach much higher on the tank, which is allowing him to get further off the bike and less locked into the tank. I used to have the same issue, until I raised my rearsets all the way up. Great stuff man, keep it up!
and funny thing, Nolan is pretty tall.. he appears to be about 6'2"
And thanks for watching..
Great tips! Love it!
I'm glad you got something from it.
Love the channel!
thank you very much... comments like these mean a lot to me.. much appreciated.
Good video smitty.
thank you very much man..
Happy to race with you at barber 😎🏍🏁
Likewise man... You plan to come back next season?
For sure. Gotta get the bike back together but yes
Damn, Nolan is never center saddle. I'll have to give this a try.
Side note, I'm stiff as hell, so I wonder if always being off to one side or the other burns more energy, or making the move b4 braking would burn more. I plan on being at Barber for 3 days straight this weekend, so I'll figure it out!
The best way to explain it, every time you move to one side, you are doing a mini squat.. add that up per turn, per lap and over a race... less squats = less energy burned.
@@smithshotracing Yes sir, I get that, but with me being so stiff, being one cheek off is like holding a mini mini squat. so I'm saying, idk what'll burn more, holding mini mini squats, or doing mini squats .I'll report back after the weekend!
Good stuff! I like the breakdown and pointers.
Hey!! I was at barber on the black s1krr!!
Great video. I wish you had gone more into what the pro did right. Also, how do you keep the bike stable when moving from one side to the other? Just make the switch when you're on power?
Well, he did everything right that I did wrong lol.. So I didn't think to comment on his riding, plus he looked so smooth, I didnt want to I interrupt the flow of his riding with my voice over.. As for keeping the bike stable, yes, the bike is most stable when on the power, so that is when should normally make body adjustments, but there are case by case examples when this does not always apply..
But thank you for watching and thanks for the compliment..
I never been to barber 4:08 what happen here ?
I went over the curbing and hit a false neutral..
Too early on the brakes, too late on the throttle. You're scrubbing off way too much speed in the corners. Get your head and shoulders all the way off as well as your butt, and learn to trust your tires and brakes.
im still learning.. and thanks for the input..
@@smithshotracing not criticizing at all!!! These are things I have to tell myself constantly while on the track. If you learn just one new technique/skill while on the track you should count that as a WIN!!!
Yeah, race the folks on track. But also know you're racing yourself every lap to find improvement.
@@rattlecan53 I didn't take it as negative criticism at all, it came off as 100% constructive... and I agree, learning one new thing is a definite win..
Move your a$$ when on the gas...words to live by.
when you put it like that, it makes it sound so easy..
You can thank Keith Code for that!@@smithshotracing
