  1. I'm a four finger braker and four finger accelerator and i find that i can get a smoother roll on and brake harder with more feel this way.
  2. The other day, I saw i rider at a ride day down here in tassie who looked like he was struggling a bit. i got chatting to him about his riding position and the like and i explained what i had learn from doing level I, II, and III, (not everything of course but just a couple of tips that i picked up) and he came back to me after the next session saying how much of a help i was. It made me feel really good so now I'm thinking of becoming a riding coach. I enjoyed being able to help out a fellow rider.
  3. i was there on the saturday, how was the weather there on sunday? looked a bit cloudy in melbourne.
  4. Hello all, thought i would write in and let you guys know what i thought of the course a few days later when all the info had sunk in. well the verdict is ... ... ... WOW! I had no idea how much my riding would improve on the street after the course, it made a huge difference. I did the level 1 course at Phillip island, and the throttle control drill (in conjunction with the quick turn and corner entry) has solved so many of my riding problems! Went for a ride today through some of my favorite roads and my perception of how fast i can go, and how controlled i can be has completely changed. much more confident that I'm on the right line and not going to run wide. I haven't got everything nailed but i believe I'm on my way, just wanna say thanks to the riding coaches (particularly my coach Shane) and Steve for the class room sessions, and i can't wait for level 2!
  5. Awesome vid! looks quick, can't wait to do it myself!
  6. well the school day is just under 2 weeks away and i'm excited as!!! can't wait to get out there!
  7. sounds like the forum website is timing out while you type your msg. type faster lol
  8. Howdy, doin my level 1 at phillip island in a few months, any tips for riding this track???
  9. Yeah for the first couple of corners it felt a bit uncoordinated but when i go it right i was almost touching a knee on corners i didn't think were possible to touch a knee down on. And it didn't feel fast, just nice and controled.
  10. Hello from Aus, Just wanted to say that i have been watching some of the footage on youtube and decided to try locking in my outside leg and taking the weight off my hands today to see if it made any difference to stability and corner speed. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! much better, and sitting a little further away from the tank worked a treat too!!! I have also booked in my level 1 course at Philip Island in october. Thought to myself: if i can learn that in a 2min vid on the net, imagine what i could learn from a whole day. Can't wait!!
