First time i went to a pro national broome tioga Ny binghampton...that was the most impressive part of seeing them come down this banzai down hill..5 th gear..was how incredible the pros use the brakes...60 miles an hour dancing down this crazy hil full of holes an whoops...watching the rear tire do its abs mode just spin slowly at like spitting dirt 12 feet in the air....the soil was perfect an those cali guys seemed be loving...loamy soil black like rich farm dirt....but the brake work was so amazing...that what seperates the pros from the riff raff...thanks
man , after riding/racing superbikes for 25 years i bought an old husqvarna smr511 this week , subbed to channels like these and practice to become one with the bike , this is soo much fun and i never realised !
From the video footage it definitely looks like trail breaking allows not only the bike to be more settled entering the corner, but also allows faster exit speed by getting onto the throttle sooner. Great tip 👍
Pushing the limits as in not releasing the brakes enough before turn in or what? Not releasing the brakes and maintaining maximum pressure on the brake lever will make the bike really hard to turn in. It will feel like trying to wrestle a bull. Carrying brakes too far into the corner and possibly into the exit will lead to a tightening line, hugging close to the inside of the corner. This simply means the riders line will be less than optimal and speed will be lost.
As the instructor who makes about $10 a month off youtube, I'm not willing to over do it while trail braking hahahahaha If it helps, if you find yourself trailbraking too hard at risk of tucking the front, the best/only option is to back off the brake and compensate by countersteering in harder.
Yeah for any newbys its really hard to turn a bike without using a little front brake...because that starts the turn....lets go to the video tape hal...thanks peace
How do i get over the fear if using the front brake...its not for me for my friends that i ask this question...i was surprised how many people used the frint brakes in their life an now never again....i m just stunned by that im going into the first turn with these guys oh hell no...on starts i always try to have a 20 foot lead before i turn in......peace thanks...i road race an motocross whats supermoto?jk
first off I'd practice using 100 percent front brake. then I'd separate your braking into two parts. progressive braking up to the turn in point, then trailing off front brake at the same rate as turn in to approximately the apex. Then as far as fear goes: ride minis and supermoto on a kart track and you'll get very comfortable with the front brake.

Right? Supermotos are soo fun it's crazy
@@socalsupermoto YES ! and theres so many motoriders out there on dull bikes who dont realise it

Yes, exactly
I made all my passes road racing trail braking an going up the inside turning as tite as possible also the shortest line is quickest
Once you learn trail braking, road or track, there is no turning back... Everything is just safer.
Absolutely. It is not a "advanced skill", it's necessary.
Hottest coach on the west coat. Period.
Been working out. Glad ya noticed!
I'd like to see the instructor push the limits of Trail Braking to see what over doing it does and how he handles it.

countersteering is what starts the tunr but trailbraking drastically tightens the radius and increases front end grip
