@@Scott-mk7tz the rule is actually 6', which would be fine but in the first two sessions people were definitely passing with less than 2 ft of space when they weren't even supposed to be passing in the first place 🤣

@@jean-paulmarques2400 yeah but our old CBRs were built like tanks. Guys with the newer bikes always seem to be fixing something 😜 definitely had a blast riding with those guys that day.

I use Dynojet's POD-300 to capture the RPM, speed, gear and throttle data. I wear a chest monitor that connects to my phone via Bluetooth for the heart rate. I basically record a "work out" and I'm able to save and then export the data as a FIT, GPX, or CSV, etc that I can import into Telemetry Overlay which is what I use to put most of the telemetry on my vids. The bike telem from the pod-300 I use Race Render cause I liked the look of the custom gauge I made.

😂 It's shameful how many times I've hit my helmet in this fashion.

​@@alixvandurandI really hope he's joking. 🤦🏾‍♂️

@@Naldo_S1K I'm sure he is. Or maybe he isn't and he replaces his lid whenever he gets hit by anything larger than a cicada 😁

Thank you! I really appreciate your comment! I listed all my equipment and softwares specifically so others can start doing the same. I didn't have any help when I did and it was a nightmare in trial and error. I'm planning to do some tutorial vids showing how I do everything but it's hard to find time between work, the track days and doing footage from that at the same time. You should definitely start doing similar vids!

Haha for real dude. It was almost as bad as B group the first session or two. Which was weird because we were riding in groups we weren't even supposed to pass in the first place.

No passing? So everyone is limited to the slowest rider 💀

@@danchristiani there are seven groups based on experience which are all led by instructors. Certain groups go faster than others and will pass as a group but there's no individual passing allowed within groups until point to pass is introduced halfway through the third session. It's why I didn't record the first two sessions. Didn't think anything crazy would happen.

You're absolutely right. I noticed this recently and was waiting for the comments, you're only the 2nd person to say something. Think I'm gonna tape the dash.

@alixvandurand I was the same way when I first started, but I noticed I spent too much time with wondering eyes, so I did exactly that taped the dash, put ear plugs in and learned to listen to the bike. And it helped me focus an knock down those seconds.

Nervous, excited, adrenaline pumped, overheated, not breathing, dehydrated. But don't worry, I'm good 😊

@@alixvandurand wicked 😁 what was it you were using to capture the telemetry- throttle position and RPM?

@@UnrestrictedIsle it's the Dynojet POD-300, piggybacks from the power commander V.

This is the comment I was waiting for. I noticed I was looking way too much at my dash but funnily no one said anything about it. I'm actually looking at the tach because I'm trying to stay in my powerband without going too close to limiter. I'm sure I can do this by ear so I should do as you said and just put a piece of tape or something over it. And interesting note about following riders' movements ahead of me making me turn too early. Will fix this asap. Thank you for taking the time to write this.

@@alixvandurand no problem, I'm glad to help :) You can certainly do it by ear, you'll develop a feel for it quite quickly. If you focus on your sight, so looking at corner exit (sorry for the bad translation I hope the point gets across) you'll notice how bad it is for your line if you take your eyes away from the track even once.. also alot of people get scared once they see how fast they go, I've also seen you closing the throttle twice at least because you've took your eyes away from the track - which is totally natural, when looking at the dash you can't see where you're going... If you really need to check if you're in power band visually, get some RPM lights that you can see with peripheral vision As we say in Germany, remain seated ✌🏻 Edit: ah and I would love to see some suspension telemetrics, I think that would be very interesting especially to analyze the data together with the videos

@@TheFlyBullet ah you are from Germany? Been there a few times and loved it! Suspension telemetry would be very interesting, although I'm not sure where to begin on how to do it.

No worries! I'm using Insta360's Go 3 camera with the swivel stem mount which fits perfectly between the cheek pads of my Arai. Another guy on UA-cam gave me the idea who had a scorpion which the pads are quite different and he fit a small but strong magnet in the cheek pad to mount it. But the way the pads are in Arai the magnet way doesn't work. I'll make a video showing how I do it but it's actually really simple. I'd love to see your races!

@@alixvandurand Thanks for responding! I race a vintage bike (mid-70's yamaha 2 stroke road bike) with AHRMA. Got a couple of races uploaded to my channel. I'm going to give this a shot and see what tech says about it - I have always been bummed that we can't do cameras mounted to the outside of our helmets. The movement of your head makes these videos so much more engaging and dynamic. Also - nice riding! Go race that bike with WERA!

I wore a Polar chest monitor side by side, it's pretty much spot on, if even 1-2bpm lower lol

You are very kind! I'm honestly stoked if I get even 100 views 🤣 I was just screwing around seeing what I can do but also for other riders at the event cause a lot of us go solo and don't have anyone to film us on track. I didn't think anyone else would care to watch them otherwise so it's a wonderful surprise getting comments like yours. Thank you!

I'm going to upload a video showing how I do it but there's really nothing to it. I use the stem mount that comes with the camera (it has a circular base plate that's supposed to screw on it but I don't use that part), I then fit the stem into the little crevasse between the cheek pads (if you have speakers in your helmet the pads are likely already pushed out a tad, further exposing what I'm talking about). I took an angle grinder and grinded down the stem a little so it fits better but you don't even really need to do that to make it work.

Oh please, I could have been outrun by a pocket bike 😂😭

As short as it was, when he dropped his cane I knew he meant business.

Really, so how do you do it exactly? Do you just click down where you need to be then let out the clutch?

@@alixvandurand First I was manually slipping the clutch, then I got a slipper clutch. With the slipper, I clutch in, drop 1 gear, dump the clutch, for each gear. I wouldn't go from 4 straight to 2. Without the slipper, clutch in, drop 1 gear, feather the clutch out. Here's a video of me explaining the why, if you're interested. ua-cam.com/video/qx7nYYt8loY/v-deo.htmlsi=Nq2QGNORwkRZYlSa

@@alixvandurand I never really do revmatching, just releasing the clutch slightly up to the point of friction or brake so hard the rear is stepping out and doesnt really touch the ground anyways and release the clutch fast but steady.

@@birgermilan31 braking really fucks me up. Like how do you know how hard to hit it? Whenever I try to do maximum I just feel the rear come up like I'm gonna flip over the handlebars.

Love your videos yosh.. you better get that fireblade someday 😉

You're probably talking about turns 2, 3, and 4. I think it's because of the long drive out I've ended up at the red line before the crest before and I'm trying to avoid changing gear with the bike so leaned over going up that section. eventually I'll figure it out. In other corners though I'm definitely in 2nd and 3rd.

How does camera view switch as soon as other riders approach from rear?

Of course. When I first started making these videos, Telemetry Overlay (TO) was not compatible with Dynojet's log files and Race Render (RR) was not compatible with my Insta360's GPX files or my heart monitor's FIT files. So I designed a custom gauge in RR and used TO for the rest but since then I've worked with the dev of TO who has since added native Dynojet support. Although I still use RR for my bike's telemetry and the track map because it looks better in my opinion :)

@@alixvandurand awesome brother. Thanks for such a great and thorough answer. Would you still purchase the insta 360 camera if you were starting all over today? Or, would you do another camera for ease?

@@JeLifeCoach I would do the exact same setup, except I'd get the X4 since it has better resolution. The X3's 5.7K is just barely enough for a 360 camera because you're spreading that resolution in the entire field of vision so when you reframe it like I do you're actually getting more like a 1080p. It's why I'm pretty zoomed out most the time and you get that fisheye effect. I mean it's cool cause you can see more but the real reason is the more zoomed out you are the better quality the image. But I've spoke with guys who had GoPros and such and they all say that the insta360 app is much better. I've never used a GoPro before but doing the whole reframe in the insta360 app is so easy. I really I don't have much to complain about it.

@@alixvandurand thank you! That’s exactly what I wanted to know. I’m gonna do same setup then for my track car! Appreciate you!

@@JeLifeCoach on that'll be sick! I want to see that! I'll sub your channel if I'm not already.

Rushing to get suited up, recording equipment running, plus the heat, plus being dehydrated, plus the excitement and the adrenaline before getting on track. It's not all that high 😜

Most definitely. Focused on breathing and relaxing my next track day and managed to bring down my max and average by about 25% by the end of the day.

My most recent track day I focused heavily on trying to relax and breathe cause I was holding my breath in some sections. I was able to bring down my average and max heart rate by about 25%. Like max 175 and average in 150s so that's progress 🤣

My next track day that was a major focus for me and I managed to get my max and average hr down by about 25% at the end of the day! And the main difference was I was telling myself to breath haha

Wow damn thank you so much for this comment! I really don't know what I'm doing in any regard 🤣 but ya know, I watched a UA-cam video and it seems OK haha it is a lot of work though so I very much appreciate you saying so.

Haha yes, most jackets come with a spare attachment zipper that you can sew onto another pair of pants. It moves around but don't worry it has a zipper going almost all the way around. Funny enough, I think you're the first person to realize my upper and lower dont match 🤣

I'm the one who hand sewed the new zipper in to attach the jacket to the pants during my vacation in Childersburg last June. Took me two days since the first try didn't work and had to be redone. I witnessed the annual motorcycle race day at Barber with Alix and his dad. Wow!
