    I raced harescrambles for last 4 years and figuring out my down shift timing for corners made such a difference in my over all finishes. So many times I would forget to down shift while braking then enter the corner in too tall of a gear. Game changer for sure

    My problem is knowing what gear i'm in, sometimes that 2nd and 3rd gear feels the same and 3rd to 4th too. I do drop down to first to reset my brain but usually 2 corners later and i'm back in the unknown zone

    I have to bring my shifter up a notch, one of the mistakes I've made recently is while breaking in new boots, I go to shift up and I accidentally shift before I disengage the clutch, admittedly though, I've been lazy and didn't make adjustments when I bought the bike from the previous owner, I just wanted to ride hahaha

    Great video guys I’m glad it’s not one of those countless videos of guys explaining how to powershift all though shifting without the clutch is a valuable technique to some when competing I’m sure there’s many kids that have had to go home and ask their dad why their bike doesn’t shift and they can’t pull in the clutch anymore 😂

    Hell yes.
    For me, when I'm riding, I don't or can't reach down far enough with my toe by bending my ankle, so I end up scooting my knee way forward and dropping my hip to try and reach with my foot still at a 90. It's no bueno.

    • @codeybean

      sounds like you need to raise the shifter a little bit. If you think your foot is just too big, i believe some aftermarket ones are longer so that could help too

    Did I understand that right you don’t use the clutch to down shift ?
    For some reason I always thought you could get away with out clutching on the way up but you would destroy the gear box doing it on the way down.
    Is this not the case (no pun intended)
