amid.alm Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 looks like your a little crossed up on the bike try dropping your elbow into the corner, that should move your upper body into a good hang off position, try that first then we can see a bit more with a different picture, maybe inside the turn? Yeah, I got it now. Had no idea that I was in a crossed up position. Yesterday, while trying to hang off, I noticed how my elbow dropped itself to the inside of the turn. It just happened very naturally. I don't think i was doing the same before. I guess some things come up naturally, the more we ride, the better things get. Not everything, of course.

amid.alm Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I wouldn't have a clue, but I think it will be difficult for anybody to make much from that huge photo - perhaps you should resize it to about 40% so that everything fits in side the screen? Done! ) Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amid.alm Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 How far from the tank should i sit (while hanging off and on a straight) ? How and where do you place your foot? I feel very uncomfortable with my foot position on the OUTSIDE peg. Almost always I feel as if I would fall off the bike...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost always I feel as if I would fall off the bike...... so many questions lol, i would suggest a fist away from your tank and lock in your knees push down on the outside peg. Im just wondering if you have attended any of the schools levels yet? These will clear up the majority of your questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csarge001 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I did levels 1&2 this June at Barber...then I started practicing what I learned. I did cornering drills in a big high school parking lot on weekends and spent a lot of time thinking and riding. These shots are from a track day in October...the first time I had been back on a track since the school. Everything felt great, I had the confidence to go much faster and I had a blast. Thanks CSS for the training. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
