    Thank you for this video. I have been studying Trail Braking for more than 20 years, and only your explanation has made sense. Not overlapping braking and throttle, then simply rolling onto your fingers (gently) as you roll off the gas and need more speed control. Wow! Tight, blind corners with corners that never seem to stop turning as so much easier, and less scary, now. Thank you. (FTR I live in Kanab, UT, so I know a blind corner when I see one.)

    • @NewmiesDad

      "Not overlapping braking and throttle" - OHHHhhhhhhh! I kept thinking maybe a bit of throttle AND break to load up the tire for a big dip in. o.O guess it's something I 'thought' and didn't really DO.
      Huge epiphany there for me.

    This video was so “ride changing” for me. I have watched a LOT of videos on trail braking and your use of “maintenance throttle” was the first time I had heard it and the camera showing it was so affirming of what I had been trying to do. I ride a bigger bike, so I am not scraping my knees in turns, so I was always having time in my turns when I was not breaking or ready to accelerate yet.
    So I watched this before I went on a 5 day ride on Blue Ridge Parkway. A) I used trail breaking and it was awesome. There were some turns I was not as well prepared for and had to break a little harder in the turn, and I did so with confidence. B) this maintenance throttle was such a difference maker. Lessons learned from this video (and some of your others as well) made such a difference in how comfortable I was in corners and controlling my speed with braking and maintenance throttle.
    Thanks for making my dream ride awesome and safer.

    Thank you for reaffirming that maintenance throttle is a thing! Learning how to trail brake has been hard as I kept thinking go into the corner while braking, lean and ease off the brake then throttle out when you see your exit. I had kept thinking no throttle was applied in the corner until the exit and couldn't for the life of me replicate that in the real world, so I would just apply enough throttle to keep the bike's momentum going, I never knew that that was it the whole time!

    • @CanyonChasers
      @CanyonChasers  2 роки тому +4

      Yep. Exactly spot on. Even in my earlier videos I’d skip over the maintenance throttle part to focus on the slowing part, but that doesn’t take into account long sweeping corners or uphill corners, etc.

  • @bdugle1

    I started using what I called trail braking some years ago. I’m not a high performance rider, don’t ride a sport bike. But within my comfort factor and the capabilities of my Road Glide (and lots of mods) I ended up with a series of techniques you describe as “riding by direction.” I look at the curve ahead, use the clues available, and slow with front brake until I’m comfortable in the turn. Maintain that (neutral throttle) until I see the exit, then on the throttle to straighten out and return to cruising speed. I’m riding quickly but not pushing any limits except my own comfort factor, and moving through the twisties a lot quicker than I used to. Now I know what to call it! Thanks!

    I love the constant commentary about what you're doing with brake and throttle. It's very helpful. Sometimes the mechanics of certain methods is lost when not explained in a real-world demonstration like this! I've been working on improving my trail braking (I ride a Gold Wing) and it really helps. My initial problem (which one of your videos solved for me) was that I tended to "brottle" and create conflicting signals to the bike. No bueno. Now I am working on smoothing out my throttle inputs while keeping two fingers on the brake. I can do it, but it's not as smooth as I would like it to be, and that can cause a bit of abruptness that I don't want. Thing is, the throttle is extremely touchy on my Wing, and so finesse takes practice. The Wing has so much power, and so abruptness is NOT my friend. Thanks again, Dave. You ARE the man!!

    Your trail braking video years ago changed my riding. I feel so much more comfortable and safe on the road now. The endorsement class technique seems like it's avoiding trail breaking because it's much more likely that new riders will brake too hard, wash the front, and high side. I've had a lot of close calls following the old ignorant "accelerate while you lean" technique but not once have I felt unsafe slowly braking on the front until I see my exit. In fact, I'm counterintuitively faster AND safer. Thanks again for providing such excellent instruction for free.

    What a ride! I do agree that at the beginning you showed us a pretty tricky spot where loosing control over the bike's direction and speed would be catastrophic. Nonetheless, even as beautiful as the scenery is I still think that road is nothing compared to some of the highly dangerous ones we have here in Latin America. With countless canyons, huge potholes, blind and almost U-turn corners and fog/forest covering all the natural lighting I feel that venturing to conquer them really would feel as making a non return trip 😅 Finally, I acknowledge that you wanted to show us how to tackle such challenging roads as comprehensively as possible but the car at the end kind of got in the way although I really would've loved to see how to maintain a more conservative pace behind the car during the twistier section of that road segment and then how to safely get ahead of it when the road conditions were more adequate to do so. Thanks a lot for your hard work and for also showing us your right hand movements in detail! Best regards.

    I used technique you are showing to ride the twisties around my house in Tennessee. I was doing it at half speed but got really comfortable cornering and leaning. Thanks for the videos man. They are helping. Im NOT FAST but I feel safe.

    • @CanyonChasers
      @CanyonChasers  2 роки тому

      Wow. Sharp eye! Acceleration absolutely shifts weight to the rear wheel, and technically, this does cause "understeer" although not in the sense that car people think of it. It's not "pushing" the front end. The geometry of the bike changes as the forks extend, which makes it basically stop turning and start running wide. Also, we want to keep in mind that grip comes from weight, so we don't want to whack the throttle open, but open it slowly, especially through the first five percent to give time for the weight to shift to the rear tire.
      Thanks for watching and I'm glad to hear you are feeling safer out there!

Now having to relearn it all technically ie undoing 40 years of corner turning in a car. Ironically my Audis had to be driven like a bike as they had massive understeer due to the angles hanging ahead of the front axle line ie slow in and gentle power out

    I think trail braking should be THE way to teach riders to corner at speed. It is so much more confidence instilling than slow-look-press-and-roll. I say this, because into the corner you almost always need to slow down and staying on the brakes allows you to control speed, which in the end, controls direction or rather curve radius (which is direction on a bike in a curve). Also, almost any bike will turn better under front braking, which means better handling through the first part of the corner. When I started trail braking over the "beginner method", I said, why in the world do they teach it any other way. It's not harder. In fact, if you ask me, it is easier. But, maybe that is just me? Trail braking for the win!

    • @MotoFamMayhem
      @MotoFamMayhem 2 роки тому

      This is exactly how I experience it.... I also feel that lightly touching the rear brake while accelerating hard out of a corner helps keep the rear wheel from slipping out. That and it's absolutely true that applying front brake shortens the wheelbase and a bike with a shorter wheelbase can turn a smaller radius than one with a longer wheelbase.... But what do I know I only ride in the dirt 🤣

    Beautiful scenery. I totally agree with you re. not riding by rote and learning to steer dependent on the road but FWIW you ride far too close to the wrong lines and often close the corner before you can see the exit. That's not safe to be teaching people. You always want to be able to look through the corner as much as you can.

    Let me offer this analogy:
    Mixing front brake and acceleration is like mixing coming and going.
    You don’t.
    “Maintenance” is like standing still (you are neither coming or going.)
    Always wanted to be a philosopher when I grow up…except I pledge never to grow up.

    Nice video. Just one question: what about the rear brake?. Would you mind to explain how to use it before and during the corner?

    • @CanyonChasers
      @CanyonChasers  Рік тому

      It depends. (I know, nobody likes that answer). But on a cruiser of if you have a passenger, the rear brake is more effective. On a sport bike/naked bike, it's a lot less effective. So while the rear brake works, the front brake works a lot better and should be the one we rely on the most. Does that help?

    Hi, there, new subscriber/biker here :) You know what would be nice in this type of video for a beginner like me? At the end of it put a clip of just 3-4 minutes from the same point of view but with a colourful frame around the screen (maybe red for brake, green for throttle), in that way it would be easier for me to figure out when to do what with my peripheral vision without having to change my focus :) Just an idea, your tips are really great, thanks a lot 😄

    • @CanyonChasers
      @CanyonChasers  9 місяців тому +1

      I understand what you are saying - but that doesn't really work because brake/acceleration for me on my bike, my tires, my road, my skill is going to be wildly different than yours.
      Here's the key: Go to the brakes when you are nervous - no matter when/where that is. Even in the middle of the corner. Slow until two things happen. You are happy with your speed and you are happy with your direction. Do not actively start to accelerate until you can see your exit _AND_ you can take away lean angle.
      Where or why I get nervous is going to be different. When I can see the exit and have direction is going to be different, right? Our biggest objective is to give you the tools to make appropriate decisions for your situation. Diadactic, step-by-step processes work fine in parking lots and make for easy video content - but the reality is that if we want to be the best riders we can be, we must learn the fundamentals, and then be adaptable to constantly changing situations.

    • @CanyonChasers
      @CanyonChasers  10 місяців тому

      We actually never ever ever want to overlap front brake with throttle. Maintenance or neutral throttle is using just enough throttle to maintain speed, but not so much that we accelerate, where the number of the speedometer gets bigger.

    I have a question: wouldn't downshifting produce the same effect as rear breaking?
    Wouldn't we want In Trailbreaking to use only front breaking to increase weight and therefore grip on the front tire?
    What did I misunderstand?

    • @CanyonChasers
      @CanyonChasers  Рік тому +1

      I believe you are correct. Downshifting is basically the same thing as the rear brake, only we have less control over it. The front brake is more precise and gives us more grip. For most students, I encourage them to go into down hill corners a gear, or two, higher than they normally do. They discover the corner is smoother, and they feel much more in control relying on the front brake more.

  • @jimrobert7207
    @jimrobert7207 Рік тому +1

    Maybe I’m missing it, but you never mention the roll of engine braking in trail braking. Engine braking’ s effect mirrors the effect of braking with the front brake lever in that it increases front tire weight and alters rake and trail, resulting in the bike wanting to turn. In canyons, seasoned riders typically run a shorter gear than normal to stay off their front brake until a sharper corners requires it. If you’ve ever hit a false neutral and had your bike stand up straight as you run wide, you know what I’m talking about. Might be helpful to integrate engine braking into the equation.

    hello...thank you for the video. i have a question as you enter the corner or the curve and you use maintenance throttle and i can see you use mild controlled front brake ''' do you use the frictiction zone of the clutch at the same time as you use the front brake? and when do you use the rear break along with the front brake? is it when the turn is really sharp?

  • @VinuStooges
    @VinuStooges 20 днів тому

    I have a question. So do you shift from brake to maintenance throttle in the middle of the turn and then open up throttle once you see exit? Is there any role of counter steering in this whole process? Thanks for answering!

    • @CanyonChasers
      @CanyonChasers  19 днів тому

      Remember that countersteering doesn't really steer the bike it initiates and controls lean. So we are always making micro adjustments to our handlebars. I have a whole video about exactly how countersteering really works (according to scientists I interviewed) you should check it out. ua-cam.com/video/j8JEgkKMrcs/v-deo.htmlsi=GhFHEY9FY0q41fAg

    I'm riding a smaller 20HP bike, always wanted to see a video of how much acceleration required. It is the one thing that I dislike about the smaller bike is requirement to wring the throttle more as opposed to maintenance and just cracking the throttle on a bigger bike.

    • @CanyonChasers
      @CanyonChasers  Рік тому

      Even at the track, on the little bikes, if we want to turn a fast lap, there is very little braking going on, resulting in a lot more corner speed and more lean (more risk) than on a bigger bike where we can more or less "point and shoot"
