[Level 1 Drills Question]

Just wanted to say thanks to the UK office, I gave them a call and the booklet arrived the next day. Maybe their postman has done his Level 5!!

[Level 1 Drills Question]

Thanks guys, much appreciated

[Rossi Sticking Out His Leg - Why?]

Watching the MotoGP on the week-end, one of the commentators mentioned that they asked Rossi why he puts his left foot out, his reply was, ''it feels comfortable, and i also put out the right foot''. Infact mid way through the race he did infact let the right leg swing.

 

I saw the right come out a few times. Also, when Rossi was really on gas, I think he puts it out less, what do you guys see?

It looks to me that when he's really on it after passing someone he has a qualifying line which is maybe higher corner speeds and wider turn entries, but when he's fighting someone for the corner, he'll brake later and deeper to block pass or block a pass and that's when he needs the extra balance that the foot out gives him

[Level 1 Drills Question]

Hi all, I did my CSS L1 at Brands Hatch last June, fantastic. Back on track tomorrow and I've forgotten the drills, and no printed literature was distributed during the class sessions. I did scribble some notes down on the back of a handout but ...who knows where they are now.

 

I recall about 5 drills, with a later one being called the 2 step. Can't remember much more other than following:

 

Corner entry speed

 

one throttle input per turn (unless its double apex/decreasing rad)

 

Body position (I think this was a precursor to Level 2)

 

Reference points

 

counter steering car park drill (nearly dropped it )

 

I have TOTW2 which I've read a number of times but always rewards with a re read.

 

Any expansion on the drills from the riding jedis will be much appreciated

Back after a short break. haha. Had my motorcycle stolen.

 

Its a way to create a new centre of gravity that makes the entrance more favourable when you risk going straight.

 

If you've ridden a taller bike like a super moto you'll know that it feels right to load up the inside of the bike into a turn with your leg, stretched forwards. It has to be primarily a balance thing-ride any bike and try to turn it really tight and slowly with as little gas a possible, you feel like it'll fall over until you stick your inside leg out. Maybe the principle still applies at race speeds?

 

Has anyone tried this at the track? I may try it tomorrow...
