  1. How do I say this....

     

    ABSO-FREAKING-LOUTELY

     

    The transition from side-to-side is incredibly crucial to stability, and there are definite methods to being able to ensure it is fast, smooth and seamless. All of which are addressed clearly in Level III

     

    When you go into a corner, the bike wants to turn. It wants to be stable. It does NOT want the rider on top of it moving around. Movement by the rider affects stability dramatically.

     

    When you're going through a chicane, or set of "S" bends, you have to transition side-to-side, and the quicker and more stable you can do this, the faster and more comfortable you will get through the corner.

     

    One thing which amazed me in level 3 is that Keith took a school bike, sitting on a rear stand. Hung off one side and then flipped himself to the other side about as quick as you can snap your fingers two times consecutively, and the BIKE STAYED STILL. It was amazing. One side to the other without disrupting the bike.

     

    We all tried it, and Keith had to hold the bike or it would have fell over.

     

    I've been racing for 6 years now, and could not even come close to Keith in side-side transitions, or stability. Once I started practicing and perfecting his methods on the track and in my garage, I found myself gaining a LOT of time in the S bends at tracks, and all with no slides and incredible stability.

     

    Go out in your garage, put your bike on a rear stand and see what you can do... Then get through the schools to level 3. You will be amazed... I know I was.

     

     

    Can u tell me if this is the Knee to Knee drill?

     

    I see here our CSS director do a thing like that and he pass to one side to other in a zero of second.

  2. Hello to the entire forum from Greece.

     

    :D

     

    I have a problem to enter with safe and lean the bike in the right corners.

     

    I use the tank to rest the left leg and arm to keep the right body in relax position (sorry for my English).

     

    In the time I choose to use the counter steering option and lean the bike down (I see a difficult to this).

     

    I don?t drop the bike as the MX riders, but I use my shoulder to guide the bike (and this time I have the feeling that the body is locked and I have problem to lean better).

     

    Please any help for what is wrong? (Need to attended CSS levels I do it in the feature).
