Learn body position but it doesn't mean you'll need to do it every turn/ride :)
What's with the socks dude :)
Can you add foot position to one of these videos?
@@calebw7177 I have a video about it specifically and another place I mention it is in the video 6 commons mistakes riders make in the twisties
Love your content
@@tomekkruk6147 the socks are questionable
This guy is the teacher you wanted in school. Taught you the why, 3 or 4 different ways of explaining it and a solid understanding of real world application! Excellent video
Great to hear!
I agree. Where were you for my chemistry classes?
😁👍🌷🌷🌷
I’m an ex teacher. Agreed! He’s EXCELLENT
I just went to comments to write something similar. and there it is! first most rated comment! :D
I wanted to say - "I love that you explain it so many times, repeat it so it just inprints in the memory
My heart goes out to the 3 squirrels your suspension had to deal with in this video..
Great lesson, will practise this some time. Cheers
True that :)
Car or bike I may brake for squirrels , but I don’t crash for them
No animals were hurt in the production of this video
four including the hypothetical squirrel rider ;
Those squirrels were riding their own hogs man. Part of the Squirrelchero Gang
"The suspension can deal with the squirrel"
:)
LOL poor squirrel
HAHAHAHAHAH that was hilarious
@@joemann7971 just straighten up and the suspension can deal with it 😛
😆😂 and he simulated the suspension taking care of the squirrel. I laughed too hard at that
Man i would like to give noble price for teaching us very clearly like no one else in this world love u bro 😁😁😁😁
:) thanks
Just discovered your channel yesterday. You are an incredible resource for motorcyclists. Thank you for teaching.
Thanks!! 170+ videos to go through :) Share with others
This guy is so skilled. Not always sweet but when it’s time to speak about how to ride, he is my guru!
He Is!
Love the “tool box” analogy.... perfect.
:) thanks
Your work has been invaluable to me as a rider who has only just reached 2,500 miles. Especially helpful in the different approaches to slow turns as opposed to faster turns. Re body position, as I look at it, after watching your videos and reading Lee Park's "Total Control," we are doing the leaning for the bike so the bike does not have to. As for not necessarily needing to move your body at normal speeds, some of us are just restless. It goes against my nature to just sit there; I want to be involved with my bike at all times. Thank you again!
thanks
Hey man. I’m a relatively new rider, and I’m not great with corners but this video really answered the specific problem which was that I wasn’t using body position! Can’t wait to try this stuff.
Also, I really appreciate the videos where you draw stuff on papers and give tips and things like that. Very helpful and entertaining. Good work brother.
As a newer rider...no one is :) thanks!!

low speed vs high speed. :D
Moto you’re amazing! I’ve learned so much from your vids and tutorials. I’ve been riding since 2003, and I’ve fixed so many bad habits that I picked up riding watching your vids man. TYVM!
Great to hear!
Hello from Australia. I really appreciate the way you revisit the critical points you mention and try to explain them from a different angle. This, to me, is a positive sign that you are an excellent teacher!! I've learnt many valuable lessons and 'how to's from your videos and find myself constantly checking your channel for new lessons. Thanks mate, I really appreciate what you are doing in passing on your experience and knowledge to help all of us out here become safer riders. Regards John.
You're very welcome John! Consider sharing this video!! MotoJitsu.com for my app, books, and everything else :)
Appreciate all you do man, I have learned so much from you. Feel a lot safer and educated when I am out riding.
Happy to help :) Share it!
Agree, Rorca.
Love your content man. Just trying to absorb everything like a sponge, your "Made simple / Barney style" explanation is super impactful and easy to remember!
Thank you!!! Consider sharing it with others and don't forget to follow me on Instagram instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
Brand new rider. Just bought my bike maybe 4-5 months ago (had to fix it up it wasn't running when I bought it). Can't go to a class yet because of the shutdown. Great videos, I'm really learning a lot, THANK YOU. I'm pleased to find a lot of this stuff I've been doing intuitively, been going to empty parking lots to improve my low speed maneuvers, and overall balance. And you're videos have helped me quite a bit.
Keep at it :)
Great use of detailed description in real time while on the mountain bike! The painted 10" plexiglass idea really helped too! Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
Counter-steering to get the bike back up at the end of the turn also has the effect of pulling your body up with it, assuming you're holding on with your thigh. It's amazing how much force the gyroscopic action of the wheels has. Great examples, thanks for sharing the video!
Thanks 😊
New rider here smacking my head over how I was leaning the hell out of my bike in some faster turns today. I was wondering how fast would cause it to lose grip....while in reality I shouldn't have been leaning it at all. That was really helpful. Thank you.
you're welcome
Don't test your limits on the streets
Watching this nearly a year after I first began riding (now with a new mc) and I’m reminded of why most of my turns are smooth and why a few are not. It doesn’t hurt to review these videos! Time to practice again, again and again! Thanks Fast Eddie! 🏍💨💨💨
Glad to help!

The video is great! Kind of surprised how many of us followed what he mentioned in video without getting trained or even before watching this video. I love watching your videos mate! Keep going...
Thanks 😊
I discovered your channel 2 days ago and I am already learning so much more.
Been watching moto content for atleast 3 years now and I wish I found this channel sooner
Great to hear it! Lots of videos to go through :)
Thanks again for a brilliant tutorial, I remember when I first started on my bike, and I was watching twist of the wrist by Keith Code (which ide advise everyone to watch if they haven't done so already) to learn the basics and the fundamentals of riding. However for me you are the modern day Keith code, your tutorials are so easily understood and have really helped my biking journey (no pun intended) and I have definitley become a better rider from watching your tutorials and explanations.
You're welcome!
Dude, you make me smile at such the nice refreshers of that which I haven’t really thought of in depth on high powered two wheels for 54 years. Oh man I ran over a huge Sidewinder snake coming around a corner at Fifty, riding in Arizona, it felt like hitting a huge branch in the road. The snake kept on going like it was nothing at all, I was on my 77 , 74 Supper glide, totally blew me away, that it behaved as if it didn’t even notice that I ran right over it! It happened so quick; that I barley was able to drop a gear, and drop the clutch at that same time to unload the front end to make it over it with out lay’n it down! Still surprises me to this day ! Keep at it, you do very well, thank you.
thanks!

Thanks man..I feel more confident now. I can't wait to go out and practice once this lockdown's over.
sweet!
I seem to know it all, but so far I have not encountered on any channel such a professional and factual translation of all the nuances of motorcycle riding. I really appreciate your contribution to education. Great job!
I'm glad to help :)
Oh. I get it now!! The example with the pushbike made all the difference. I'm very much a learn-through-visual kind of guy. This clip is gold! Solid gold. 🥇
thanks! SHARE IT
Explains everything so well. It sinks in instantly. thanks
thanks!
I used to both: 1) pushed the bike lower (that common mistake) and 2) leaned the body to minimize leaning and had always been confused which one is the correct one, and now you just clarified it.
Thank you thank you thank you.
Always find something new to learn every time i watch your videos.
Thanks again
👌🏼
I’ve been teaching riders this and other riding techniques for years, but in all honesty you made it sooooo much easier to understand by cleverly using the BMX as a prop! 👏👏👏
When I’ve taught the same technique with an imaginary bike, it’s just harder for people that don’t understand the science/physics behind it all to picture the true relationship difference between the bike and the actual rider!!
Nicely demo’d mate.. Subbed! ✅👌👍

Great lesson. Thank you
Hell yeah!!!
Beautiful - every video of yours is a gem. I can tell that the decade of experience learning the basics over and over again is ingrained in you and how you present information. I hope to cross paths riding in San Diego. Cheers, MotoJitsu
Thankyou sir, You have no idea how much I learned from you :) Cheers!
Glad to hear it!! Share with others :)
Excellent lesson! Thank you for sharing! After my morning walk I'm going to practice this (I'm off today).
nice!
@@MotoJitsu What I like best about this one is how you were the first to verbalize for me the difference/ distinction between body lean and bike lean. It will help me immensely on my continuing journey to becoming a better motorcyclist.
May our serious errors only occur on the empty parking lots☺
@@ianmackenzie686 :) thanks
One of the best explanation I have seen so far. Getting back on bikes after 2 decades, and really liked your videos. Personally had some nervousness when riding twisty downhill, and your videos are giving adequate information to practice proper riding techniques doing twisty turns efficiently.
thanks!!!

👍👍👍Got a lot out of the presentation, many years ago i did some racing, now i feel I am grown up enough to be sensible-ish I am getting a road bike and I will enjoy the occasional 'hang off the bike' just doing a moderate speed lol, it will give other riders a chuckle so i am doing the community a service as well.

After 57 years of professional motorcycle riding, teaching to an advanced standard, this tutorial highlights with absolute clarity how taking corners on the highway should be done.
I have been in conflict with other instructors frequently who profess to be experts yet teach so called advanced skills that are dangerous.
I respect the disclaimer that you need not use the body lean technique constantly but to practice occasionally for the occasion when it will be useful. I particularly respect the comment re lower body movement on the highway being unnecessary.....totally agree.
I frequently witness riders taking slow speed bends with their backside hanging off the saddle yet their position for the bend is incorrect. By the time they’ve thought about it, shifted their backside all momentum has been lost.
I’d be interested to hear your views on “trail braking” on the highway.
An excellent video, superb in every respect and should be included in every instructors curriculum.
Keep it smooth and stay safe.
thanks. I have various videos on trail braking, what it is, when I use it, etc. It's a tool like anything else and all depends on the pace you're going, traction levels, etc.
MotoJitsu.com/com for my new app, books, merch, etc.
Third year riding now, start of my second full season up here in the NE. I learned trail braking and body positioning from you and IMO those are the two most important "advanced" skills I have learned and use on a daily basis if not for necessity, for practice. Also what I think is important to note from my experience, if we make a mistake hitting the apex with proper body position, recovering from that mistake is much easier to manage versus a neutral position and making that same mistake. Thanks for the continued detailed training!
Exactly right
Thanks for sharing your observation. This is critical information.
This video is so simple, yet so important. I can’t tell you how many times I see guys riding out in the public roads trying to stick their knee out when the turn only calls for a slight press and a turn of the head.
👌🏼👌🏼
Knee out makes the bike more straight up actually if done correctly. You're not "hanging off", you're leaning while keeping the bike straigh upright.
Awesome video! I love these types of videos where you explain in detail how to ride and show it and why you do things the way you do....thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just took the sport bike course on Fort Bragg and the instructor taught this very well. Had no idea I had been riding the bike wrong this whole time when leaning into corners. Helped me greatly as a rider and understanding weight balances and what happens when you do lean into a corner

Eddy, I've not seen you do a show about how to pick out helmets. Could you give us the pros and cons of the different styles.
I have an entire playlist about gear but I'll make it easy, 6dhelmets.com I have 2 of them and once I learned about their technology inside the helmet, I'll keep wearing them. "MotoJitsu" code also gets you 10% off any helmet with a free tinted visor as well.
Love the black socks! You're stylin.
My main goal is to look stylin'!!! lol
Thomas Lenzmeier ha ha, my wife had the same comment!
@motojitsu i have zero experience with bicycles and motorcycles, i had never ridden one before even as a child I'm 220 pound , 31 years old and my dream was always to start riding a motorcycle ,during quarantine i watched most of your videos and started practicing with no motorcycles just imagining that I'm at home doing body positions, how to release the clutches , 20,30,40 % for brakes ...for the last three weeks , i passed my basic course , i had my license and next week i will get my gsx-s 750
All thanks to you really I appreciate your dedication , love and excitement to teach and educate us and take us through the motorcycles world

Another great production. Thanks. I did not see the pushbike being of any relevance at first. Boy, how wrong was I. The analogy of the sprayed black plastic was so simple and helpful. Your teaching style is very good. Body, head, bike; but not every time. But practice it. Great.

Great stuff mate. Found your channel a few weeks ago and I'm so into it. Just haven't enough time. But great teaching, if someone doesn't get it after your explanations, they'll never get it. Cheers from Down Under. Keep it up.
Awesome, thank you!
This just happened to me today. As I went to turn on the left on a blind spot I slowed down and my motorbike scooter didn’t lean much but just myself lo and behold there was a car zooming down and I was able to dodge. I didn’t even know the terms for what I’ve done but you’re correct I was quick enough to straighten the scooter after. Also, loose/relaxed arms helped a lot! I’m from the Philippines and no proper training for motorcycles but learned from experience. Those lessons of yours I’ve seen were helpful and didn’t know I’ve done the right thing☺️ ..it’s good to know when I heard your explanation! Such a great help! Keep it up!
thanks

Sometime l get awkward on left-right corner, body or bike first. And everything mess up once l took glance at the speed.
Stop looking down and focus on where you want to go.
All my riding life people have kept telling me "keep your arms loose, the looser they are the more effective". Today I got it, thank you. 😁
Nice!
More relaxed your arm = more relaxed ride. Stiff arm you will feel every bump
this guy speaks with his insecurities some times, there are a couple situations where you're going to sit up and have weight on your arms, or ride around in an upright position in general.
The only way my weight would ever be on my arms is if I'm on a sport bike.
@@Adrenalean767 that's what I mean, he calls it lion king syndrome, really its if you lock your elbows, or if you are too rigid on the controls, its going to be bad. when you're tucked in, there obviously should be not weight on your hands.
Man, great videos. Got reminded of stuff I stopped doing and learn new ones. Keep'em coming please!

Nicely presented - in the UK we use - 'LOOK' 'LEAN' 'ROLL' - turn your head to LOOK into the corner (WYSWYG - WHERE YOU SEE is WHERE YOU GO), LEAN your body, ROLL your machine into the turn.

Ugh… I suck at counterweighting for tight turns I have a tendency to target fixate. My buddy and I were doing some drills and it was a big wake up call. So I ordered myself some cones and I'm going to be drilling it in me
Get to it! Try my White Belt drills and see how you do :) think where you'll be in 3 months if you don't quit?
yeah im noting some drills to practise myself too.
Damn sir your hair looks good on you today
😀
As soon as you stepped out of the way, I recognized the Haro Group 1 race bike in the background. I've been riding Haro bikes for 30 plus years. That's awesome!
:) fun bike
I've applied the information in this video in my practice in the parking lot and the penny dropped. I'm able to make tight U-Turns and tight circles with greater ease, accuracy, consistency and confidence. I'm doing faster turns and bends with more confidence and ease. Thanks for your work, this is critical information. The use of the pushbike in the demonstration worked a magic for me because I've ridden a pushbike for more than 50 years of my life and I could totally relate, feel and understand what you were saying and doing. All the best.
you're welcome! :)
As in other aspects of life, always at least try to lead with the big head
We're dudes, the little head always wins out in the thinking game.
Knowing body position and practicing not being afraid off doing it saved my ass a few times. Going to fast on unfamiliar road and starting going wide is where it is important. I have been stupid and careless a few times and it's a good skill to practice.
Yes, learn, practice, and master everything :)
Great video! I think is it one of your best to date. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge!
Thanks 😊
I have been trying to use your information on the road today. Couldn't manage to get a squirrel in front of my tire one single goddamn time. I really hope i have more luck tomorrow.
Please keep the video's coming they are very helpfull!
Greetings from the Netherlands.

Sorry in advanced for the long comment:
I can't thank you enough for demonstrating how to counter balance the bike. Yesterday I went out to a parking lot to practice riding for only the second time since my class in January 2019. I had a very hard time learning how to counter balance in my class because they really didn't explain how to do it, just that you have to do it at low speeds. Keep in mind too I am very small (only 5'2") so not having a lot of mass to counter balance plus not knowing how made it extra difficult. But because you actually explained and showed it I was actually able to do tight turns from a stop, u-turns from a stop, and tight circles yesterday. It was only my second time riding in over a year, only my 4th time ever on a bike, and my first time on something that wasn't a cruiser (an R3). Even thought I'm small, I think having a taller and lighter bike this time around also really helped, but I have to give most of the credit to this video. And of course I have to give credit to my friend who not only took the bike to the parking lot, but was also the one to tell me to quit doubting myself, to get out of my head, and pushed me out of my comfort zone. He was the only reason I even attempted my first tight turn from a stop. Of course it helped my confidence when he stood by me and offered to catch me and the bike if I fell 😂

Happy to help where I can :)
another great vid, thanks man! you brought in the bike, great idea. i did some contersteering on my fixed/stabilizer/roller speedbicycle (due to covid etc etc) and i almost fell of with stabilizer and all on the other side ( the corner i practised to countersteer). Even in this vid, you do the short corner technique, and the bike turned around it self (almost). keep up the good work!

Its a very priceless video ! I just a newborn motorcyclist ( but once midturn when i was with the driving school coach) had to naturaly add more weight inside the turn because i felt the front was slipping at low speed, when we stopped the coach explained it, but while i wasnt know about this at all,its just natural if more weight inside its pulling the radius of the turn (if the axis ' stay the same angle) its just physics, but when i moved my weight against centrifugal force i could give more rubber surface down to road, its just wierd when you didnt expect that
thanks!
I think you have great recorded material to add some of it in the parts where you want explain either body position or any of what you are describing. You do a great job explaining but as they say a video is better than 1000 words. You are also gifted at drawing. Mix all of your media for amazing videos. Keep the good work going and make it great!
I don't edit my videos or cut or splice or any of that.
Good job explaining thank you. Short riding season in Minnesota.
Thanks

I took the intermediate class with you down in Chula Vista a couple of months ago. Amazing day. Also, I just put my first video up to share a message with my community as a school Principal during this at home Distance Learning.

In the end...just posted one video up and going to stay consistent with messages for our community during this critical time. See you at the next course.

Thanks. Been riding for about a month and done a lot of low speed practise. Now I find I am doing exactly as you described at the 12min mark. So now will practise body-head-bike. Ty.
Practice it all! Get good at everything. :)
So I did it just now on the way home and it was great. Thanks
I really appreciate this video. I felt pressured to learn to drag knee, because I ride a sport bike. But I'm also a bigger guy, and I put a comfort seat on my MT-09. Moving off the seat, dragging knee, etc; Is incredibly more difficult than I think it should be, and I just feel so uncomfortable and get anxiety because I don't feel like I'm improving as a rider because I can't do it.
Thanks
I was taught the exact opposite of body position like you were saying for low speed turns, only keeping yourself straight up with the road so you can quickly respond to any debris in the road. (I only do this for low visibility when I'm expecting a car to fly at me)
And when doing sharp turns I learned how to push/pull and drag the motorcycle down to the ground to get tight turns.
Many ways to do one thing...whatever makes sense for the situation.
MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.
Really great tuition. Right On point. I move my upper body inwards especially at speed because it means I can accelerate through the curve this throws the bike more upright but because my body is already in the curve and it means that especially when the curve tightens or I see a Wombat ( no squirrels here) I have an edge because I have more control. Pushing the bike down at speed can be useful for swerving fast on the straight say to avoid a pot hole. But I see riders especially on cruisers who ride normally like this and they scrape and they fail to negotiate bends. The techniques used to negotiate red cones are brilliant for slow speed red cone riding. They shouldn't be used in real country riding. Riding a motorcycle is indeed very similiar to riding a horse. Your seat is everything. Your hands are just holding the reins. Cheers and thanks.
