Spaghetti Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'm having a hard time to improve my weak side corners, left in my case. My speed is lower and the lean angle is around 5 degrees less than the right corners. Are there exercises designed to train the weaker side?

AdamZisa Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 I am also sharing this same concern! Mine is my right side. I believe it is because I am so used to giving more space on my right side due to driving cars. I have been trying to overcome it by riding my bicycle and forcing myself to mimic the same things I do on my left. Exercises or more information would be a great help though!!! I am going to Level III this weekend. If I can gather any information before this thread gets a response, I will share what I learned. I know when I was learning on the lean bike, I exhibit a weakness in form. On my right handed turns, I do not lock my knee into the tank nor my elbow resting as well on the gas tank. My suggestion would be to look for the easiest solution first. Is it form? Is it the way you are tilting your head and this is messing with your perception of the turn? If you find anything out, please share as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotfoot Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 When you sit on the bike on a stand, and get in your normal hanging off positon (assuming you hang off for corners), can you let go of the bars and still feel secure? Is it easier on one side than the other? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybird180 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 AdamZisa mentioned that he rides bicycles to help. I saw something interesting this morning. that may be relevant to bad sides and I think Hotfoot is already on the trail. I saw this woman on a bicycle and it looked like she was struggling, fighting the bike. Yes, there was a slight uphill slope but I don't think that was the root of her problem. I noticed as I passed in my car the opposite direction that her elbows were bent at significantly different angles. Her right elbow was above horizontal and her left was down closer to her hip, yet the bike was going straight - I ruled out a pretzeled bike. Got me to thinking about my own body position and the pain I have on the left side of my back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
