a true sign of a noob rider: being overly condescending and judgemental of others riding

[TheTcr]

I do lots of long distance riding. I put my feet all over the place just to stay comfortable 😁

[tylerjones]

I've been riding for just over 7 years, and I can agree with him regarding the safety points (unstrapped helmet, proper boots, and OEM tires) but everything else is personal preference. You wanna waddle walk in the parking lot? go at it man, who cares if people think its silly. Do you have control over your bike? that is all that matters. If you are casually riding, who cares where your feet are positioned. Can you respond quickly (i.e. shift gears or brake). if yes then keep doing you. If you are riding more aggressively, then yes you should tuck in and have a more "athletic" footing. Also, 11min video and 7 sponsored ads. GTFO.

Been riding 27 years. Like to waddle walk in super slow traffic when you're only moving feet at a time. I think it's fun. Sometimes I'll pick both feet up and "slow race" just to practice balance. Just depends on what I feel like doing to entertain myself.

[jeffstanford]

Damn this dude makes riding sound like a job.

[FinleyAlice]

I don’t care about looking like a noob, I absolutely am a noob and it’s so obvious there’s no point hiding it lmao. Confidence grows faster than skill, and I’m alright looking like a newbie until I’m not one 😊

[zcryptxzz]

I disagree with a lot of things said here, I'm perfectly fine wearing my sneakers. They are not high tops but they are comfortable.
I waddle my bike sometimes, especially when turning around in a parking lot or something when there's not enough room to actually make the turn.
I also think a hydration pack is unnecessary as I usually don't ride for more then an hour without stopping too fuel up and have a coffee and a drink of water.
I usually plant 2 feet on the ground at stop lights because you never know when a gust of wind is gonna hit you and you lose balance, I think you are just being really judgmental and kind of an asshole. Ride how you want too and don't try to force it onto someone else, I think everybody should ride how they feel comfortable.
What matters in the end is you make home alive.

Yammie is my new favorite person. I love how he talks down to other riders who have been riding their entire life! it's amazing that he's become such a master motorcycle rider in 7 years and a beast on the track. He doesn't have time for "weekend riders". absolutely not. it doesn't matter if you are a licensed motorcycle mechanic and have rode every day for the past 30 years, he is better than you and knows more about bikes than you'll ever know. I mean if he didn't he wouldn't have a channel right?....Honestly I liked yammie up until I saw him talking down to other riders who disagreed with him and he called them weekend riders when he doesn't know them. we get it Yam, you make money talking about motorcycles after reading the stats on the companies. It's good to know you can read the brochure.

[grooutube]

I feel like the first thing a Noob buys is a hydration pack.

[iannicholson]

You know what annoys me about NOOB Youtube video presenters? A condescending "I know best" attidude, a really irritating voice and debatable knowledge of their chosen subject. This guy scores pretty high on all three IMO.

[eatsleepplayrepeat]

Just want to say to people that there's nothing wrong about putting your feet down if you feel uncomfortable, especially if you're a new rider or inexperienced with a bike. It's better to learn slow and feel safe than to drop the bike.

[s.sullivan]

"Perception is important" sounds like something a tool would say. I'm a firm believer in the phrase "those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter." In other words the people that count will support you no matter what. And F### the ones that give you crap for being you.

[michaellee]

The term "Noob" &"Duck Walk" come from so-called experts who consider themselves superior riders because they can do a sharp u- turn on a YOU-Tube video. I've actually seen riders that dropped their bikes desperately trying not to use their legs because they didn't want to be thought of as a " Novice". Don't let these idiots set the standard for you, practice your slow speed skills but use your legs if you need to.

[lukefredricksen]

Sounds like he got some hydration backpacks to sell.

[michielvandepol]

Lesson 1: don't ever let someone tell you you look like a noob on your bike. You can learn to improve and change things you might be doing in a technically wrong or clumsy way. But don't change things that work for you just because somebody tells you it makes you look like a noob. The real noob or wannabe is the person telling you that. Just enjoy your motor and improve your technique if you think it is necessary.

[joshpemble]

I really only really agree with the helmet strap, and keeping good tires. Not everyone can afford hydration packs, shoes only for riding (you should wear some type of boot though) and everyone leaves their blinker on sometimes, waddling is fun and takes stress away

[frankkarlachavez]

I’m 45 and have been riding since I was 17… I do some of the things he mentioned. I say enjoy the ride keep safe and have fun…

[djslandboy]

Damn this is one of the most judge-mental things I’ve watched lol

[DrewD]

My 33 yr old Honda Pacific Coast has self cancelling signals, love it !
I am not a noob rider, but I’d say I will point my feet sometimes down to relieve pressure in my knee from it being in a single position for long periods,

[JohnSmith-zior]

#2 "Everyone should ride with a hydration system onboard." This is why we ride from bar to bar, restaurant to restaurant. LOL
