  2. Posture

    in Cornering and Techniques

    Posted

    During turn, I feel more relax and secure when locking the bike with the ball of foot and knee at the outside leg only . The inside foot with no force on peg at all (or just as what I feel). For me, it seems easier to hangoff and quick turn with no weigh on handle bar this way by locking with one leg only. Anyone feels similar?

    I shoot for balance. I was told by a local track "pro" that most of my weight was supposed to be on my inside foot. I was fighting the bike all day, and wasted a whole day. I've figured that keeping balance helps me adjust to just about anything that I come across quicker.

    When I do not put weight on the inner peg , just keep inner ball of foot on peg, but lock the outside leg with ball of foot and knee, I feel balance and can move my head and body to the inner side easily before countersteering. Hope that Cobie or Stuman can comment on how to take advantages of putting weight at inner peg if any.

  6. Quick Turns

    well said... This year when I get to practice qt's I'll be sure to measure my rate by my increase in entry speed and a later turn point! Good things to focus on I think in bringing up speed in the corner. I love esses and quick steering inputs, really gets the blood flowing!!!

  15. The Bad Side - Lefts Or Rights?

    So well said to the fullest!!! I don't have a preference for turns except that I like to take them. I'm getting to the stages in my riding where I'm requesting more feedback from the bike and what my inputs are achieving. I believe when I start to become more in depth with this art I may have this problem arise, but for now I just like taken both!

  16. Crashing

    Keith I've just finished reading and rereading twist I, II, and soft science this long winter and still have no plans of putting them down just yet. The instruction I've gotten from those books I've already started putting to use and great use at that. The crashing subject I believe you put a spin on it that some riders will notice next time they ride and crash and think a little more about it. I'm new to the forum, but will be reading pages cover to cover to build skill! This is my first official post so see you around corner guru!!!
