knee drag to elbow down motorcycle drill

this is an experiment drill that ive picked up to help to learn mobility on the bike.

So start with knee drag counterleaning and test the grip by leaning the bike without leaning the body until it pokes out the rear. Can even test small power slides. then practise body neutral. When grip improves begin to slowly hang off on exit.

Try to transition from counter leaning to hanging off in the same turn to get comfortable moving around on the bike while its in a turn rather than setting everything up before pitching in. The whold point is to develop mobility mid turn. If you can move around on the bike, it means the bike can move around under you.

If youre pushing the front, at that moment of push, counter lean more. If youre spinning out the rear, hang off more at that moment and make the bike more upright.

wear full gear obviously for this drill

If there was a way to teach this legally you should do it. The stuff you're doing is what keeps people alive. These slow training exercises could help people learn the true extent of their bikes on the track or not. again, props man. love these vids!

Great drills - will defo try Mick Doohan one to warm up the tires. Totally agree on the body flexibility - you should never feel tense on the bike and always be able to shift your posture to adapt to conditions. One thing I may suggest to play around (from my experience when sliding) is to apply a screwdriver grip so that the elbow is intentionally pushed out and use that position to keep dragging the elbow when the rear wheel slides - elbow in this case will act as additional stability and preven the bike from fall while keeping the rear drifting in a controlled manner. Just stick some 3d printed elbow sliders as there will be much more pressure added that will ruin the leather. The drawback in this position is that it stiffens the upper body but perhaps I did not get to the next level to make it more fluid - will get back to drifting games when winter ends in Poland! Stay safe, have fun and keep posting!

Oh shit! These are the riding fundamentals I've been searching for.

superb man, love your content! What does your vision do when changing bp? Also have you always tilted your head while leaning over or did you start with your head level to the ground?
