    Thank you for this video. I started to progress with “slow” speed maneuvers once I realized I was going too slow. A specific amount of momentum is necessary to keep the bike balanced. This is the type of info we need in the community

    So glad I discovered your channel! I've been riding for 4 yrs. I took MSF, and then IMMEDIATELY hired a retired moto-officer for 1:1 training for an additional month. He competes in the rodeos and works for H-D and YCRS (you probably know of him). We spent 4 hrs. each week (in one block) for 4 straight weeks and the foundation he gave me was - and remains - immeasurable. I can honestly say that, purely because of his tutelage, I am light years ahead of people who've been riding for 30+ years. I say that not in a brag-y way; instead, to show my deference to what y'all do and to thank you for providing such sound guidance to the MC community. I still watch the usual suspects, all of whom are talented, but you're right...nobody's talking about what you are in this video. Robert Simmons is phenomenal, no doubt, and he, along with Quinn Redeker, Jay from Motor Officer Training (Houston), and Andrey from MotoControl are my favorites, because y'all get into more granularity, but manage to do so succinctly. Your camera at 2:18 and again at 3:50 where you're physically demonstrating and then walking us through the actual turn is pure gold! Thank you for what you do and your focus on keeping riders safe (Obvi, I subbed). 🤘
  • Thanks man! Glad to run into your channel. We just picked up a bike for our channel to fix and flip. That is if we don't keep it for ourselves. lol. Can't wait to get back on a bike.

    Thanks, it was really helpful seeing the u-turn in slo-mo and tying it in with your throttle control tips to make it work!
  • @arlie505

  • @shaspaz
    Great tip! Good luck with your channel 🙏
  • While the logistics and techniques I know already I may not apply them 24 7 I am still practicing your specific explaination and camera view exactly when you let it out further into the friction zone was the piece I have been missing !!!!!!! Thank you. Can’t wait to practice just like this ❤🎉
  • @ppvshenoy
    Thanks for the splendid video. It's always a fine balance between clutch and throttle with a tad pressure on rear brake (friction zone), if needed. Rear wheel needs to have power while making turns, period.
  • @gorongo4202
    Please build on this concept. You explain and demonstrate this well. The clutch manages power to control. Pull in the clutch and there is no more power or control. CxPx0=0 Happy Riding
