- We talk a lot about various intermediate skill level braking techniques, in this video Pattrick brings them all together in an easy to understand fashion. If you're a Level 2 rider, watch this video, learn from Pattrick, and try the techniques out on your next trackday. You'll be amazed how much smoother you can be! -Randy Joy
I agree with Randy 100%! This is yet another MUST WATCH VIDEO! Just a few of Patt's pointers. "Your braking zone becomes longer as you become faster." "You want to AVOID grabbing more that 10% when you're setting the front tire." "Unbelievable what these modern sport bikes will do with the front brakes!" "As you add lean angle - give back the front brakes." Listen, absorb and digest this material and become much, much better on your front brakes! Enjoy. -Dave Wonders
Please leave a comment about your experience with using the front brakes.

whats all the ruckus in the background. shut up, sit down, and listen to this man who's trying to teach you something
It's 1:23 AM, just rode my bike home from a pool tournament, drank a shot, and loaded this up. Now all I wanna do is go find a Starbucks and a huge parking lot and just work on braking. I've found parking garages up and down to be a great way to practice short shifts, braking, and low speed maneuvers in a city setting. This guy is awesome. All riders should watch this
At $399 a day per person they can't afford to get this poor guy an easel? His information is great.
It's $399 because COTA is very very expensive! Normal price is $449-499/day!
Everyone in the class is a comedian, after 10 mins of that I'd be asking for a refund or reschedule
Damn. Always thought trail brake up to the apex. So Thats why my rear always feels slippery mid corner. Good tip. Got that figured out. Now i can focus on proper smooth throttle input
Watched this video as a brand new rider. A year and a half of riding later this video makes so much more sense as a more experience rider
At 399 a day ill take this valuable information any day as if it was meant to be video but respect for us riders wanting to learn and ride safe thanks guys
I appreciate the simple explanation of the technique. Many dynamics at work throwing a machine into a corner with loads changing front to rear and picking the correct line and timing the down shifts, off brake and on gas. Fun stuff that can be applied to larger heavy touring machines. Thanks.
As you increase lean angle, give back brake. Thanks! That's a good way to think about it while doing...
good explanation. seldom seen trail braking covered in track day sessions
I'm on the other side of the globe, but I'm Still learning much. Thanks to this channel. Good work. 👌
Couldn't watch, too many students disrupting.
this is why i keep telling people to start with a smaller engine bike, it teaches you brake and throttle control to make you use it to its full potential. front brakes through turns are where people make the most mistakes, and mistakes turns into accidents
Not sure I necessarily agree. With a smaller bike you have more hand movement for the same speed as a bigger bike. I use a quick throttle on my litre sports bike and need to be super controlled coming out of slow corners. I think very low speed obstacle courses are probably best for teaching fine hand control.
Most guys can't ride for shit, its sad especially when it comes to sport bikes since they are so much fun if even ridden somewhat kinda correctly but most people end up with so little lean angle its laughable.
awesome, love braking videos.
This man gives good advise, i actually thought i had to brake till the apex, when i try to push to my limit is what i ussually do. but that little bit of gas just to get the bike stable throught the apex makes sense, il try when the weather gets better
iTxip that little bit of gas increases chassis rigidity, essentially stiffening the bike up and not leaving it feeling "floppy". How'd you find it?
Excellent explanation.
Thank you.
Good instructor. There must be a nice looking women in the class. That would explain why grown men are acting like high school boys instead of taking this course seriously.
Typical street bikers.
Great trail-breaking explanation at 7:00
Damn these video are brilliant. Thank you.
I think this works if you know the curve or you have sight of the road completely or on a track. Otherwise, how do you know when to finish trail braking (0% brake) and give gas, if you don't see the exit? For regular road riding, I support the advice from Motojitsu and/or Mcrider...
It you are good at laws of physics you can understand the laws applying on your bike during breaking or Turning etc
I think from the sound of this guy. He is a pretty good rider.
He just needs several things to teach with. His information was good. I'll give him a 7.5. His delivery sucked I'll give him a 3.
Get on point. Stay on point until said subject is over with. Stop asking the class questions finish your thought.
Buy an easel. At 400.00 a person you can afford one.
Good luck
Agreed, I couldn't watch this past 3 minute mark. I'm looking to go to a track school this year but for $400 I don't want the instructor asking questions all the time. If I've paid a lot of money for a day's instruction, that's what I want. Instruction. I don't care what the rest of the class think, just straight out give me the info. The sooner I learn it the sooner I can start committing it to memory.
not much of a problem on road riding since you are trying to be safe most of the time, but when it comes to actually riding fast, im super horrible with front brakes, no idea how to use it properly at all.
Yes ❤
Thank you!
Beginners should be taught had a trail brake right away. There’s nothing unsafe about it. They should just get used to slowing down very early and being lighter longer on the brakes.
Could be really good but the sound of chat, poor sound, chairs getting scraped on the floor and people walking past makes for a dreadful video presentation..great advice though
I naturally trail brake, but it does kinda feel sketchy cause I don't want to lowside...
My main concern is clutch control and shifting, knowing what gear I'm in or should be in, and rev matching to the appropriate forces..
LightGesture it is sketchy. I nearly never trail brake! Throttle control is by far the most important factor in cornering imo
funny man! and instructive!
Nice. Thanks.
How do you put some design on your suits? Are those patches? Or stickers?
Not worth $399 a day
Too much background noise to understand what is being said
So when trail braking we lean into turn and we give back brake . So we step on back brake , got it 👌
Chopbreaka no he’s saying you gradually let off the brakes completely and then apply throttle right before you hit the apex of the corner.
Listen closely. Trail braking is for speed in curves. Traditional riding is not for going through curves as fast as you can. Thus, for "safety" purposes brake and down shift before the curve and then follow your line through the curve at a speed that does not require this technique.
I see people complaining about $400. bucks lets say you go to a track day for $200 bucks that two track days right? But if you don't have good skills then you are just riding around making the same mistakes that you've been making for who knows how long and you think this is great and people are going by you almost sucking the paint off your bike if you continue to ride like this and think if they can go that fast so can I my bike is better then his if you don't know how to ride fast and you try and go fast your going to crash.This is a school they are riding with you one on one telling you what your doing wrong showing you how to go fast setting up your suspension $400 buck of good teaching is well worth $400 in bike parts hell you just drop your bike standing still and you can cause $400 dollars in damage $400 bucks is a bargain.
Interesting watching this and then watching motovudu, Simon takes his corners on zero throttle.
You've misinterpreted Simon. He says you can maximise lean angle and change of direction with zero throttle.
Why does this remind me of top gun
Baba Yaga what do you ride on track?
Someone give tbus man a cold beer, the outfit z!
Interesting, I've listened to the Ken Hill Podcasts and he reckons to trail past apex for entry corners...
Carlito's Adventures Not all corners are the same, Ken Hill states that. Some corners require trail to the Apex and some require brakes past Apex.
But neither seem optimal. They way he explains it here makes the most sense. How can you still be braking after the apex and still get the best speed down the straight?
@@DodgyBrothersEngineering because you are not using the brake lever as "brakes" you are using it to adjust direction for a strong exit to the corner. It took a while to figure out what Ken Hill was alluding to, but after racing a couple years it really started hitting home. Some corners to get the maximum exit, you trail to or past the "apex" on the corner (entry corners) to get the bike in the right position to launch out of, on an exit corner you typically accelerate past the apex.
As soon as you see the brake lever as an adjustment tool after you lean over, you use it as a tool to put the bike where you want it....specifically in a highly dynamic situation like racing. It also trains you to be present in the ride without a lot of neutral throttle...which means seconds on a lap if you are doing too much of it.
@@bsgyoungblood yeah that sort of makes sense.
Ken Hill is right. This guy is a donkey.
Some A-S know that so they are trying to Ruin that class which can safe lots of new Riders
I don't like when a teacher ask... What will it do, what happens if... And so and so on... I don't damn know that's why I'm here paying $300 to find out.... tell me! 🤬 Stop asking me all these questions...
$399/day??? I better be testing next to Rossi. And I’m taking the bike for the weekend.
I have a problem with braking. I love to just glide on by smoothly.
...and that's legit too, unless yo are trying to be faster than somebody else.
GIT-FO i was told to commit before going into turns. Speed is great but not when your limited space. In my mind, the solid lines on the roads are like walls i can't cross over.
I totally agree - road riding is much more dangerous.
GIT-FO dangerous of course, that's why i ALWAYS ride with a clear mind. I have a personal check list that I must check off before taking my bike out. If I can't check them all off I don't go out, i know I'll make a mistake somewhere along the way.
@cedrick That's a great statement right there. I have actually taken off on a ride and turn around and came back home. I could tell my head wasn't in it
If you're going to put a teaching video on youtube it should be done properly, not with back ground noise and a Q&A going on.
ALL GAS NO BRAKES
Why the 2 piece leathers? Not safe. I'd pass on that instruction.Going into a corner with NO throttle is quicker.
this is probably the worst presentation i've ever seen.
400 bucks a DAY!!??? HAHAHAH....Hell no. These guys have lost their damn mind.
cranston snodgrass being able to afford it, and actually understanding that you're being ripped off are two different things kid. I could buy a brand new cbr1000r, a Nissan titan, and trailer with all coherent accessories right now in cash ya dumbass, but I have sense enough to know paying 4 times more than I should is stupid. You can be that stupid if you want. While you're making stupid choices like this one, I'll beat you as far as reaching Baby Step 7 on The Total Money makeover book goes by around a good 10 years or less. Move on. I'm not your therapist kid
Get a room, you two.
Anarkist2k8 its Too, not two. If you're going to butt in a conversation that you weren't directly involved in, at least have the decency to spell check or grammar check so you at least seem like you have some sense
tpcs you sure about that? Perhaps you'd like to Google.
Anarkist2k8 am I sure that paying 4 bennies for something that shouldn't cost more than 150 at most is dumb? Can you do basic math? Are you one of those idiots paying 5x and more for a pair of jeans just because they have some fancy bs name on them when they last barely twice as long as the cheaper Walmart faded glory brand? Are you sure about that? Come on man.
