On Moto Control channel you will find videos about motorcycles, motorcycle riding techniques, tips & tricks and online motorcycle training for beginner and advanced riders!
A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

the reason they are so good is because they can practice dropping the bike as many times as they want...............
That's true!
LOL , yes true
Dam that’s a good point
I mean you could too if you wanted
Could get dropper bars though?
Another brilliant lesson no pointless intro and straight to the method. Your motorcycle control skills are insane. 👍🇬🇧
This guy has mad skills 🔥🔥🔥
Maybe he should start a motorcycle training school ;)
in both video making personality and actual skill this might be my favorite mototuber right now
I’ve been using this technique for the last few weeks on my morning commute where my 3rd turn of the day is a U-turn on a fairly busy road with 3 lanes of traffic in each direction. This technique keeps things tight, tidy, safe, and quick! Thanks for this tip! Been enjoying your content. Good, sound, technical info here!
As a cyclist, I remember reading about this in “Richards Bicycle Book” first published in 1972!
He called them ‘haul turns’ I think, but the essence is the same, countersteer and lean into the direction of the turn.
The cyclist's "bible" ;)
And keep the inside pedal up?
I was just going to ask if this would work on a bicycle or if they were too low-power to perform the maneuver. It sounds like it does work?
@@tlhawthorne you'll soon learn if you don't
@@SmallGreenPlanetoid It works. Bicycles handle the same as motorcycles. People who say they don't either don't understand bicycles, or motorcycles, or both.
I feel that with advanced maneuvers like this there is a lot of trust in the bike doing the right thing and restraint in not controlling or restricting the bike from doing the right thing.
it comes with understanding your bike and being supremely comfortable with it
@@the_bromies_podcast239 - Absolutely right. I just bought a new Goldwing, and I totally suck at u-turns with it. I had a cruiser before this. The cruiser was the same weight, but I was so comfortable with it that I could turn it on a dime just like in these videos. Now with the new Wing, I feel like a first-week MSF rider again. LOL Lot's of practice in store for me. I'm not "supremely comfortable" with the new Wing yet, but I'm getting there.
@@soujrnr keep practicing, my Goldwing (with manual clutch) handles like a ballerina 👍😎✊
Thank you for not blasting us with a minute of annoying music and getting directly to the video! Great skills, inspiring stuff!
You don't say anything about counter leaning… but it appears to be that you and the Japanese rider are leaning AWAY from the turn and letting the bike tilt underneath. This allows for a tighter turn without dropping the bike… and even if you do drop the bike.. it falls under you and not on top of you… am I correct or am I missing something?
those were my exact sentiments...
Yes you're right. FortNine has a video about turning and he assesses that counter leaning is best for maneuvering like this and on the street in general

Hi Master Moto Control, if not for this teaching, I wouldn't have known u-turns could be done so smoothly, this is the best video around the entire internet, thank you, thank you!
Awesome lesson. Love how well you match the video to the lesson you are teaching.
Another great video, plus you have a great way of instructing and coaching. Thanks!
100% gonna practice this one thx a lot your videos are always well explained and very helpful ^^
Another awesome video. So glad I came across your channel dude, keep it up! 🤙🏼
What a real, useful, easy-to-understand, and terrific teaching, Master, Idol! 😊
Amazing video, clear and easily understandable! Well done.
You are the best of the best; your lessons are great and the way you teach is top-notch. Keep up the great work and thank you for doing so much to help us all be better and safer riders! God Bless 🙏❤️
Nice vid.
Letting the handlebars turn themselves cannot be overstressed. This has transformed how I ride my DesertX.
Just found the channel, I will definitely stick around. Great explanations.
I learned that technique in motor officer school. They set the patterns up so you had to put the front tire between the last two cones before you initiated the turn, which created the habit of this technique. Good stuff
Respectful, encouraging and informative. Thanks.
amazing - if I hadn't stopped riding motorbikes after my major crash (well 10 years after) nearly 50 years ago I'd be trying this technique out ASAP !
I used to do practice like this. The big thing is clutch control, continuing to move forward, turning your head in direction you are turning toward, and trusting your bike.
Thank you for the video and demonstration! I now have something else to practice.
Turns out I've been doing that all along.. been riding for quite long. Seeing it so directly demonstrated made me think it's something new that I've to try and learn. But thank you very much all the same ! 😊
Beautiful video, nice channel and so many tips. Wish your courses were available in Italy too!
Amazing brother! thx for uploading this vids
Great video as usual. It is truly enlightening how counter steering is so important both at highway speeds and parking lot manoeuvres. Thanks again.
Is there any other way to turn?
Great video this is helping me a lot ❤
Your videos are the best..such fantastic Humour and great Practical info,,Spasiba..
Excellent video! Thanks so much!
Thank you for the clutch cam view. As a new rider, its very helpful to see what the clutch is doing. Great video!!
Great tips as always!
Smooth af!
Very well explained
Saw your channel through rhis video, and immediately subscribed. Thank you for this excellent video, I cant wait to test this in application! 💜
Man,you are great!
From România,all respect!
You are a good teacher!
Awesome, I think I'll do your 2 month course next riding season!! Thanks man
Once more, a very nice instructional video on a topic I'll be giving a try in the near future. Love it.
I love this channel
I've got frame sliders/axle sliders/engine cover on my MT07, going to gear up and practice this in the next few weeks. Nice post!
Great video as always! I never thought that countersteering could be used for tight u-turns as well.
Yup, and you're probably actually away using it (really minimally) without noticing, tbh. It's really hard to initiate a turn without a brief countersteer to make the bike fall to the inside.
(At low speeds, body shifting can initiate a turn without countersteering--I've heard Japanese videos call it "self-steering," but it's not a common technique to teach in the West, and definitely feels super weird and out-of-control at first!)
@@TravisTerrell It's kind of just objectively inefficient to ever use anything other than your handlebars to initiate a turn. it takes about half a pound of force on your bars to completely tip your bike over and you don't have to move anything but your hands.
As an Aussie postie, I used the CT-110, which features a centrifugal clutch. I was able to turn those bikes within their own length.
You forgot to mention counterbalance steering and body position when making these turns. FortNine has done an excellent video on the "police riding" methods of their local police force.
What do you mean I forgot, I have at least several videos about counterbalancing!
@@MotoControlEn I think he means you forgot to mention it in this video which to be honest would be helpful. Its a great video though. cant wait to practice tight turns until I'm really good at it. Also anyone watching this video has probably been riding for a little bit and should know that body positioning matters. So really it's not even that necessary to have in this video as the people watching this video will already know positioning before doing this.
@@MotoControlEn Yes, in other videos, not in this one. Look at the perspective of a first time viewer of your content like me, that has no knowledge of your other content.
There is no need to counterbalance. His body remains neutral and the bike leans underneath.
@@leo_and_his_bikes which is the very definition of counterbalancing.
Your demo looks just as much fun to do as when I saw this 5 years ago on AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite ("How to make a U-turn with a Motorcycle: the Japanese Police Officer's style") . I'm still not going to use it in everyday traffic, though. Thanks for posting. Love your videos.
excellent, thankyou!!
THANKS!!! This stuff is informative! no nonsense!
the most powerful teacher,humble,gentle and very effective instruction..salute your mastry of adv riding skills I am your student..I learnt from your lessons thank wish you health,happiness and prosperity love you bodrov sir
Amazing video👍
Nice. Tomorrow we have holiday and i know what to train in the parkinglot. Thank you very much.
Awesome. Slowing down the playbook speed helps illustrate this technique. Excellent. Thanks!
One of the best videos I ever saw. I undervalued the clutch for so long...
Great comments and suggestions. Love the light KTM
Great video !thank you
I didnt know borat taught motorcycle riding. Love it great tips!
Really informative, thanks for that. Now to get out there and practice, practice, practice :D
Great Content❤
I am glad that You could watch the few pushinng lean to the opposite side just before the quich turning.
Always looking for riding techniques implemented. This looks great. Be great to turn my electraglide like this. Ive taken the motorman ride like a pro course and it has saved my butt more than a few times.
Recien encuentro tu canal! Seguidor nuevo, gracias por la info!!!
I will be giving it a try
1:45 I love how many people are learning/practicing in the parking lot! Too cool
Thank you for Sharing this 👌🏻💐

Great stuff, Andrei. I love your channel! These U-turns are super sharp, but I have trouble with them on my new Goldwing. I was riding a cruiser before this that weighed the same, but the dynamics of the two bikes are so very different. I could turn my cruiser like this, but not my Goldwing. I have a lot of practice to do in order to master these kinds of turns on my Wing.
Thanks for the great videos!! Have a super week!
I do this on a Heritage Softail every time I check my mail. I U-turn smartly into my drive like a boss afterwards. Just takes practice. Believe it or not most of my balance practice comes from bicycle riding and enduro riding.
Thanks for sharing , Have a Wonderful day Too
My YAMAHA Scooter is superb at these. I use same Technique minus the clutch feather. Gave me real surprise when first using it in traffic. Whips around neh. Gotta love CVT drive
U turns are like wheelies, once you get the feeling you get it. It is uncomfortable until you figure it out.
You make it look easy. That is very good control you have.
Borat loves his motorbikes.....
Counter steering is counterintuitive if you don't think about the need to line up the rear wheel with your desired line. I do "counter steering" all the time in all kinds of vehicles because sometimes ou need a sharp input to keep the real axle from straying too far out or in. Once you clearly understanding what you're doing it becomes totally intuitive. Sometimes the "racing line" is not what you imagine just from looking at the road. You have to make sharp inputs to keep your "angle of attack" optimized as well as lane or line positioning.
I didn't even realize this is how I've been doing U-Turns on my Supercub -- I've always been using countersteering to start the initial turn. I'll have to try giving it that extra countersteer to see how fast I can do these!
same on my adv150. maybe its something about light bikes that makes you intuitively use this technique.
Very informative as usual.
Excellent and underrepresented skill.
Thanks for the great lesson
SUPERB bike control!
Awesome! I'll go practice this tomorrow!
Спасибо большое 🙏
Keep it up bro
Thank you
I guess that if we want to do such sharp U turns the Samurai way the best tool for the job is a Katana from Suzuki. 😉
Good video as usual Andrey.
All the best from Brazil. ✌
Great video on turning quick from stop , reminds of a French instructor on UA-cam. But I am still not convinced and really frightened to execute this on Aprilia Tuono but the French gus does it all sort of liter bikes not sure if those bikes have better handlebar turns than Aprilia Tuono v4 1100. Any tips to do this on Aprilia v4 super sports ? I keep hearing from some big mouth on UA-cam , it is you not the bike but I want to know your honest opinion as you are humble yet knowledgeable
Great technique - I'm going to practice it. I think it is easier on a smaller framed bike (naturally) but I have wide handlebars on a heavy bike. But the technique is the same.
PERFECT!!! (AGAIN!!!)
Excellent video!
Thanks for tge video I just bought an old SR3 with sequential gearbox and was wondering what it looked like shifting. I can't wait to get on track.
Wow! Can’t wait to try this!! 🤩🤩
I need 2 see you do it on a heavy bike! Cmon man🙏👍👍
Nice elaboration...thanks
thanks men 😄
hey:) cool. Im 54 and are in the process of taking my driving license. Training in my back yeard now with my brothers old kawasaki. Cant express how much fun it is. Getting either a Livewire or Verge Ts.
Another awesome lesson! Now I need a video on how to ride with a broken left hand😅😁 Have an awesome day! 😊
I don't have that, but here is a dude without a right arm ua-cam.com/video/WsN_9NK_Zns/v-deo.html
Can I ask what speed you were doing the u-turns?
Really good riding tips broooo❤❤❤
This same skill done on superbike like r1 will ne treat to watch.
Wish you would do one for clutchless bikes. Love your series.
I hadn't thought of this before, but now I gotta try it out.
Interestingly, I learned nothing after 22 seconds of this video, but only because I already understand countersteering from your other videos!
Of course countersteering still initiates a lean even if you're starting from a stop. Why wait to fall into the correct lean for a sharp turn from a stop if you can countersteer into it?
I was taught to do this on my bicycle, so I was not surprised.
The turn is only tighter because the counter-steering moves the centre of the turning circle away from the direction you are turning.
Brilliant lesson. I would like to know your recommendations to ride a bike on a bumpy country road with truck ruts. Usually, I am afraid that the wheel slips in a curve on such a pavement.
Yeah even the best rider can't outride physics...
I didn't know this was a skill! I take such turns every day!
would like to see some folks demoing this on tall advbenture bikes. They seem more difficult that low bikes. Great video
