I want to give you a huge thank you for this video, it illustrated what I have been doing wrong with my feet. I have been on my toes, but not on the edge of the foot peg! Keeping my feet up close to the frame was causing major limitations in how much I could get my leg out! It was a true AhHA moment! Thanks again!

This video is pure gold! Thanks for the time and effort put on this!

What a brilliant explanation, perfect balance of detail, not too indepth and confusing, not too vague.

For people who have a bit of experience, but have hit a wall, this is my offering. The first one is an extension of your look…feet instruction.
1: LOOK where you’re going. FEEL what you’re doing.
2: If you’re not on the brakes, you’re on the throttle.
3: Everybody else is doing it. Why can’t we?
3: Smooth, smooth, smooth.
So;
1: Feel (not feelings), is an essential part of knowing your limit (if you’re not yet fast) and your bike’s limit (if you are fast). Also great for when someone approaches and asks you to race their (slightly different) bike.
2: this doesn’t mean full throttle, or full braking all the time. It means there is no time gap between the use of each tool. If you roll off, coast, then brake. You are slow. If you don’t move straight back to throttle when braking is complete, you are slow. And also leave yourself open to a front end lose.
3: You’ve got your track/race bike, but you don’t have speed. Question why. Ask fast people on the same bike/tyre/suspension combo (or near to yours) who know their reasons. Most fast racers (to a point) will always give good advice. But once you improve to a point, they (fairly) will now say, “it’s up to you”. This is when you must find good people to make a support crew for yourself.
3: Smooth, smooth, smooth. Is a calming measure to say to yourself. Or imagine someone who loves you saying it softly.
Also. CONCENTRATE. If you’ve read this far, you’ll notice 3: twice! And if not, you just crashed into the back of the rider in front of you!

Really like your technique. Thought the throttle cam was so sick showing how to roll the throttle nice and smoothly 👌

Great instruction. First time watching, new subscriber

[byronrich]

This was beautiful bro, thank you for the instructions

[MrNL]

Massive lessons in the vid for me! The way you explain things is simply great! Thanks for doing this. I'm definitely subbing and will be digging out your other vids for more learning. Thanks man

I have 4 dobermans!! Your's is beautiful! I like to use the force of the brakes coming up on a turn to help lift my bum off the seat...less stress on my legs.

[WFO.Ian.]

This is a very well put together video and you’re a natural on camera. Well done man.

@daboush, one of the best and simple advice. Excellent video. Thank you

[szymonolechhnowicz]

Very nice view of feet position also nice explained lean angle which is real worth to do! Short and perfect

[adams]

Dude, we need more of this! Thanks and I wish we had more butt cam and looking back over the tank videos. It's incredibly useful watching the body movement and setting up with the butt. Thanks for this great video.

[paveldespot]

Loved the shots of the feet, especially on the transitions. Thank you.

[promotor]

Hoping to apply this soon man. Thanks for this great vid. Shoutout to all your Filipino viewers out there.

[domsim]

Greets from Croatia. Love the fact you actually reply to comments. Your vids are very easy to watch and LEARN from, even at my age of 58, both hips replaced but still keen as ever . Keep rolling 🤟p.s. Big like for the Doberman.

[zitoun]

Informative and relevant 👍🏻
Thx

I think I've learned more about footing and body position from your videos than anyone else on youtube. I have many questions though. when your flying down a long straight away do you use the clutch when down shifting, or just push the shifter down without using the clutch. In motocross we don't use the clutch downshifting. thank you

[enjoytheride]

I liked that rear view that shows your feet positioning on the transitions. So many videos on here but not any / many that really show what’s going on.

Great video maker with sense of humor but valuable info :) thanks!
