[Anyone Have Any Idea's For Braking Drills]

Specifically high speed corners and thier entry. If I can instill more confidence in my braking then I can go deeper and harder and drop my lap times.

Do you mean corners where (for example)

1. you brake from 150 to 50. Or do you mean corners where you brake from or

2. you brake from 150 to 100 ?

 

The first could be braking technique, where the second is more likely to be sense of speed

 

These are both covered in the schools.

 

They also have a great breaking rig that lets you practice braking up (and past) the limits.

Not sure what level it is normally in as I did the two day camp. Also check as it is not available at some tracks

[Cornering Sequence]

Well there are 3 levels to do, about 5 techniques per level, so there are a few more steps, but its not my place to spoil the fun

[What Makes The Most Difference]

I'll still say that if your quick turning ability exceeds your throttle control ability OR body position, you will crash...

 

Just my $.02...

Not sure I agree. If you quick steer so quicking that you forget to roll on the throttle then maybe..

 

I agree that you need to be smoothly rolling the throttle on after the steering input. But by turning the bike quickly you should need less lean angle, so I think that you should be less likely to crash. I am not talking about suddenly trying to turn as fast as a GP rider, but a definate improvement

 

I have completed Levels I, II and III. On the basis that I can only work on improving one area at a time. So first I will work on my weak areas and try to get all the techniques to the same level.

 

Then after that which of the three techniques to work on first

[What Makes The Most Difference]

Great Replys.

 

Lets say that you have all three of these techniques at a reasonable level

Scores out of 10

 

throttle control 5

quick turn 5

body position 5

 

Let say that if you worked hard on one area you could get it to a 7. Which would you work on first to see the most overall improvement in your riding. I tend to agree with Greg and think that Quick Turn gives me the most improvement

What do you think

[What Makes The Most Difference]

Working on which one of these three areas will bring the most immediate improvement ?

 

throttle control

quick turn

body position

[Foot Position]

I notice from race coverage that many rider keep their outside foot positioned with the arch of the foot on the peg (rather than the ball of the foot)

 

Does this have any advantage other than access to the rear brake or gears ?
