My buddy and I were doing offset weaving yesterday. 10 feet apart and 3 feet offset. As I was riding home I thought about the Balance Ball 2.0 since we had trouble in doing the weaving. I told him to practice static Balance Ball 2.0 again and this video is just perfect timing!
Thanks for another great tutorial, Quinn. Always invaluable intel, and in this I particularly appreciate your advice to keep our butts in the seat and lean with our upper body. I'm guilty of initiating my leans by first putting my butt on the outside shelf of the seat, and you're right - it DOES make for slow transitions (explains why the Figure-8 is my Achille's Heel). I'm going to try this tomorrow. Thanks again for the nugget! 🤘😎
The fatal funnel. What a brilliant, if slightly disturbing, way to train the brain for counter balancing. I have trained myself to push the bike down more than I thought possible when slow cornering but I will also try this and see how tight I can get those corners. As always thanks for your sage advice.
@@glenkelly3141 ha ha yeah you’re definitely correct. It could be a little disturbing, maybe just focus on the tactical components of the fatal funnel idea ha ha keep me posted. Let me know if it helped that would be awesome.!
I tried this today (Sunday in Australia) at my favorite industrial car park and instantly felt an improvement. It felt like my legs were much more connected to the bike as well. I love your tips coach.
@@gravyau hey that’s fantastic to hear! I come up with this stuff and it works great for me, but it’s so much cooler when it gets shared out there and it benefits lots of people. Very, very cool to see.!
Hi Quinn. So good to see another fantastic educational video from you. I always look very forward to getting that notification that you've posted another video! You can do in three to four minutes what many others can't seem to do in 30 minutes in their "instructional" videos. When it comes to instructional videos, there are only four people I'll watch. You, Dave at Canyon Chasers, Kevin at MCrider, and Jerry at RLAP. I'm not discounting others, but in my book, you four are the only ones that warrant my time. I wanted to ask you about your use of the foot pegs and weigh distribution, but I think you answered it in another comment below. It's something I've only seen mentioned by one other rider (Dave at Canyon Chasers). I'd love for you to do a video on that aspect of riding. I think by and large, we tend to focus on our arms and hands (and perhaps body position), but often lose sight of how integral our feet are in the equation. That's my experience, anyway. If no one else is guilty of that, fine, but I know I am. LOL Thanks again for a superb video!! I'm looking forward to the next one! Mike
@@soujrnr hey Mike really appreciate your comments and huge. Thank you for your support. To answer your question specifically regarding feet use, I have a video where I talk specifically and only about the use of feet as it pertains to slow speed skills. If you go to my website under instructional videos, scroll through there, and you will find the video related to using your feet. Then you can also go to riding notes and print out the specific notes related to working on that technique. It’s all free, so anything you want on there just grab it. Let me know if you have any questions or this doesn’t answer the details that you were hoping to get from me.
Great video…! Question, when I watch motor officers in competition, I see them moving their butts when counterbalancing so is there a time and place to do it versus keeping your butt planted in the seat….?
@@rayweeks1056 well you need to determine if in fact, they are moving their butt in the seat or if what’s happening is that they are more or less staying put and the motorcycle is moving around underneath them. The reason it matters is because if it’s the case that the motorcycle is moving around underneath them, that would imply they are using force on the foot pegs and helping the motorcycle speed up its transitions back-and-forth. And none of their body weight is meaningfully contributing to the motorcycle moving weight around-and in this way it’s efficient. on the other hand, if they are just sitting their butt on the corner of the seat and resting all their bodyweight on their butt, this can be slow when it’s time to quickly head the other direction and throw the bike over the other way. Hopefully, that makes sense? I’ve had many people ask me about why I move my butt around on the seat, but then they see me live and in person and realize I’m just throwing the bike around underneath me and not actually weighing the seat down. Keeping your weight on the corners of the seat while the bike is counterbalancing is not an issue If you are going to be in that position for any period of time, like a dirt track racer or a road racing situation where you’re moving around on the seat but locked in a position for a few seconds. Same goes for general Street stuff. But once you need to throw it around back-and-forth and so on, it can get slow… it might feel great the first time you throw the bike over to do a circle or a U-turn, but if you have to immediately change directions again, it can be problematic.
@@PoliceMotorTraining Not a motor officer myself, but just trying to get more proficient in general with precision maneuvers. I personally use the edge/ridge of my own seat as a physical reference point for where the bike and I need to be in relation to each other. Sorta like hovering over a portajohn seat.

@@PoliceMotorTraining - EXCELLENT! I'm going to go find that video right now!!
I’ve been reading your MOA articles and find them interesting and helpful. This is my first time visiting your channel. Count me subscribed! 👍
@@bradb2514 that’s great news, brother I hope you find it helpful.👍
