As an older (64) rider on a sport bike this kid is very wise! His videos are always informative. Keep it up sir!

I gotta give you props for the whole “play the piano” analogy...I used to have a hard time cornering at speed because I was unknowingly fighting the bike due to me being too tense. I applied the relaxed “play the piano” thing, along with your vision advice and my cornering has significantly improved, so I’m now working on being as relaxed as I can be while riding. Thank you for all you do.

You’re such a good coach/instructor! I appreciate how well you explain things

Brand new rider here! Thank you for all the topics you cover. Priceless!

I've been riding since 1980, and I really enjoy this channel. There's always room to learn!

16 years of riding and I'm just learning this and never even considered this to be the reason my hands go numb or hurt. Great info!

Hey Eddie! I can't thank you enough for your tips on this video. I was immensely troubled with the numb hands issue until I came across this video. I've seen it multiple times and put your tips to practice. I'm greatly benefitted and no more have the issue. Thank you again and again!

You are so right, this is great advice. I’ve just returned to biking after a 30+ year “break”, and I’m experiencing fatigue in my right hand plus some numbness in my thumb. Modern bikes are so much more responsive and I find keeping the throttle under control so much more “refined” than my younger days. My bike has a rain mode which I might try as it dulls the responses, till I get used to it. Another great vid, keep saving lives…

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to explain this.

I’m glad this topic came up! I thought I was just getting older and have circulation issues. I’m 37 and I’m great shape. So I was wondering.
Thanks for sharing you wisdom.

New rider here, had my bike 3 weeks. My hands would get numb after 5 minutes. After watching this video (and PRACTICING daily) it now takes over an hour for the same level of numbness. I 'play the piano' constantly now. I also keep my butt all the way to the rear of the seat & pinch the gas tank with my knees. Thanks for this info, it's been a big help & made a huge difference.

Subbed, I like the range of topics covered and the clear/ concise explanation of his points.

Your tips made all the difference for this 53 yr old newbie! THANKS!!!

As someone who grew up racing harescrambles, I can tell you that this is probably the single most important thing you can learn. Being calm and relaxed on the bike will not only reduce arm pump by a huge amount, but it will help reduce fatigue altogether, and you won't be near as sore later on after you're done riding. Also learning about counter steering will help, trusting your tires in the turns, and learning how/when to be braking vs giving it gas are also things that will make someone a better rider.

Just started riding my 2001 R6 last year as a first bike. Everything you mentioned in this video makes sense. Thank u.

[JohnySeen]

The facial expressions are priceless. Great tips as always

[planetpeckham]

I’m new to biking and I had this for ages. Thought my gloves were too tight at first, then realised it was The Death Grip!
Thanks for your interesting and thoughtful vids, keep up the good work!

I ride a standard bike and found that my hands were going so numb that my hands began to hurt. I adjusted the handle bars down and towards me just a bit and it made a world of difference.
