I’m loving that predator attacking prey strategy haha
Thank you for taking the time to share your wealth of experience in these great videos …
Its like dabbing
Dan I really like your videos and you as a person. I am a subscriber, and will continue to be.
That said your body position techniques are patently wrong. I known that you were taught by someone with a certificate and yada yada.
These techniques put you in a unstable riding position. When you are leaning your torso that far and hanging onto the outside grip to stay on the bike and twisting your hip Oy Vey! A track coach would pull you off in the first lap to fix your crazy dangle angle. Your one big bump or shimmy from coming off the bike or wrenching it down by the bars in a misconceived attempt to stay on.
Do not twist your hips! Terrible idea. Do not unsquare your shoulders from the plane of the bars. Hips square with shoulders, shoulders square with bars always, no exceptions. (Unless you are doing a hip flip in a chicane at 100mph and know what you're doing) Never make any jerky kung fu movements on the bike, ever!
I don't know what course this technique is from, but I'd like to know to avoid it. CSS with Keith Code, or Yamaha School of Champions is the gold standards. $600 to $800 a day, but more than worth it. Take one of them, and come back and remake these videos when you understand how dangerous what some of what you are saying can be in a high speed cornering, or traction loss scenario. The only thing you got right is using the outside foot, and outside knee to anchor.
Twisting and snapping your hips and shoulders is a bad, bad idea. Keep your core squared and anchored at all times. You should be able to let go of the handle bars and not move or upset the bike at any time during any maneuver if you are doing it with correct form.
Get back in your demonstrated low forward position with hips twisted and let go of the bars. You will fall off or bobble the bike to recover and not fall off. Which demonstrates that you are using the bars to hold on. You can't use the bars to hold on and control the machine correctly at the same time.
Not trying to be mean, but you are speaking from perceived authority to new riders and you have accepted responsibility to teach to the highest level you can. Please raise that level. I used to espouse and teach very similar techniques and views as you do now until I learned I was wrong. There are much better, much safer riding strategies. Don't skimp on detail for simplicity of teaching. A higher end course will teach the neuro science and bio mechanical reasons behind why the old school methods are wrong and potentially dangerous. Bad muscle memory is hard to rewire. Start doing it right sooner rather than later.
Appologies for coming across harsh, but I too am a fervent motorcycle safety advocate. Your heart is 100% in the right place. Love your channel, and you.
how is it counterbalacing if when turning left you push your body to the left?
isn't it the complete opposite in slow turns?
I thought you should turn ur shoulders and hips to the side u are tuning yeah, lean ur bike to that side, yeah, but keep ur body straight up and leaning to the opposite side, to counterbalance the weight of the bike.
am I missing something?
Let me say it in a more understandable language.
You just gotta dab the way you want to turn.
I wanted to get a bike and learn to ride until I saw this video… this seems more dangerous than I previously thought
You haven't explained why it is desirable to lean your body farther than the bike is leaning. Also, for slow turns, there are several videos by others showing how to place your body weight on the outside of the bike (on the left side while making a right-hand turn); exactly opposite of what you're showing. There would appear to be a contradiction there.
I'm not saying you're wrong, just that there's no explanation as to why one should do as you say.. I.e. what are the physics involved in remaining in line with the bike verses putting your body to one side or the other? One can lean the bike by counter steering and remain "vertical" to the bike's wheels, leaning with the bike while remaining centered on the bike,. And why that is a bad idea, you are not saying, or even mentioning. It seems to me that you're giving an alternate method of leaning the bike (shifting your weight verses counter steering). It may be great method, but why? It's like steering a hang glider by shifting your weight, verses twisting ailerons on the wings while remaining upright and centered in the pilot's seat of a conventional plane. Both work, so explain why one is better than the other.
Washington State's two wheel study manual, for example, doesn't mention your method at all. Again, your method may be the bee's knees but you give no argument for it. Maybe you're only talking to the advanced riders and I should stay out of the conversation,?
DDTF. "counterbalance" is putting weight on the outside peg with weight in the outside to offset a slow speed turn. The technique you show is for "Inside" balance for medium to high speed turning to keep the bike upright. Your vids are usually very helpful.
SHOW!
