Indeed, I wasn't successful at countersteering because I felt it wouldn't quick flick... maybe because I wasn't properly locked on the bike and didn't had enough leverage to do it.

I try to use the 2-step drill but I was lost when to look forward. No ref. points at all... completely forgot this. And never looked at the apex (try do use the 2-step and didnt look to the apex)

Schools around here are and Barros just quit coaching... so I guess I must read it all over again, whatch the dvd and hit the track. Damn.

Holy thread revival Batman... Well, after almost 1 year and a half 100% away from the track due a new job and my 1yo daughter, just did my second trackday in 2015 and the sh*t is f'up. I can't carry any cornerspeed because I have zero confidence to countersteer/quickflick... in fact, I can't countersteer at all, only body steer and peg weighting. Please, help me out to increase my quick flick rate... what drills can I try within my next trackday? I'm starting over again, that sucks a lot because I was used to ride in the advanced group and now I look like an old lady among the beginers.

I really believe that the front wheel locks when there is NO load, ie, wheel in the air and you hit the brakes before it lands on the tarmac.

there is a "new wave" of coaches who doesn't even mention counter-steering as a rider input, like Simon Crafar, Troy Corser, Ken Hill, and a few old fellas as Freddie Spencer/Pridmore as well. I don't really know if it is intencional or what, but it's rather strange. Check the video below: Ken Hill showing how to corner... no countersteering mention, totally weird, and since I have plenty of respect for him, I'm confused right now.

"body steering" only applies midcorner, using the HOOK TURN technique. nuff said.

watch this video:

"riding technology" sells products for a specific bike~ CSBK sells skills that you can use on any bike . Its just business / marketing riding technology is how Keith Code calls the art of cornering on a motorcycle.

I always wondered how those superstars (i.e. mgp, moto2 and wsbk riders) treats the called "riding technology". I mean, I've never heard a single soul talking about countersteering on an interview. I bet they have no clue about it. It's all about braking, trail-braking, leg waving... But the "pick up" technique is always mentioned (the one and only).

indeed geometry affects handling, like my old daytona and its twitchy front end, which tends to be quite "nervous" while cornering. but, again, Corser's cornering theorethical approach can be called as "weird" specially on this forum, but right now it's another discussion. I apologize if I was a jerk... of course everything changes with time and technology and nothing is etched into stone (specially in this sport), but I tend to carve a couple teachings on my personal stone and keep trying to improve my riding before trying something completely different. That's why, maybe, I find Corser's tips a little bit eye-popping (on the negative side).

yeah, right. IMO we are trying to find excuses to validade what he said because he means something within our sport. if a "nobody" said the same thing, he/she would be bashed around here (like many did trying to defend body steering). but the ankles/footwork tips are quite good. well, back to the topic, thanks for the tips; I'll try to push REAL HARD off brakes.

I know Corser is a world champion, almost a legend, or something like that. but maybe he lacks theoretical understanding and/or didactics... that's why he talks so much "BS" (or, for a lighter/respectful therm, "weird things") for us indoctrinated by CSS.

i.e. full of BS?!

Corser: "the less pressure you push, the fast it will fall". Geez, wtf? He said we should not push the bars to make the bike turn...
