There was a young guy in my BRC group that dropped the bike like 6 or 7 times throughout all the slow speed practice sessions. I thought there was no way this kid was gonna pass the test. Well he smoked all the tests and made it look so easy. I realized months later while doing my own practicing that he was just finding the limits of what he could do while in a safe environment (and on someone else’s bike) and when it came time to make it count he knew exactly where those limits were.
exactly!

I just took a screenshot of this comment, because it’s a genius idea! My BRC course is next month and I’m going to find those limits for myself!
Wasn't me was it? LOL! Actually I started riding at 50 yrs old so not "young" and I only dropped it once on the MSF course, doing drills on squaring up the handlebars for quick stops in a turn... I didn't square up quick enough and it had been raining/drizzly on the slick asphalt course so yeah, slick! I almost squared up enough but the issue was once I started to go top side I let up on the front brake but not the rear brake, so I my drop was on the under-side (thank God, I'm sure a drop over the top and being thrown with the bike coming at you is much worst than a drop on the under side and sliding with the bike - isn't it true they say "stay with the bike" if you go down under and not kick the bike away?). Anyway, with due respect to my classmates... yes, I was absolutely the only one trying to push the limits while on a bike that wasn't mine, while the rest of class more often than not didn't get up to the speed when requested by the instructors. Great course, MSF! Lot's to learn, for those think they already "know how to ride"... you probably don't. :)
I dropped my bike during the course just to see what it felt like. I survived. 😆
I took my MSF course like 4-5 years ago but I think I remember the instructor saying whoever drops the bike automatically fails 🥲
something that worked for me: for clutch control practicing going as slow as possible in a straight line this gave me the feel of the clutch without the complication of turning , once I get a feel of the clutch added the turning
Yes! I have a video encouraging people to do just that
@@MotoJitsu I was in a funeral procession for one of our fallen Blue Knights brothers. The hearse went so slowly that we almost had to duckwalk behind it to the cemetery.
Thankfully, the friction zone had already been mastered by all of us.

Some buddies and I would have what we call the worlds slowest drag race .. the goofy trials guy always won. Sitting on a bike not moving feet on the pegs ... jerk :)
What is the trick to stop at a stop sign without putting your foot down? Like On MCCommute he used to try to do that and he often did. He had to stop for only x seconds but I can’t do it for one second unless I never fully stop
Sheep Dog what is trials? And how do you do that? Perfecting balance basically? I want to learn that
“an eyeball on the chest” is a brilliant tip. I tried it yesterday and it works! I found myself not only “looking” with the chest-mounted eye, but also aiming my chest (instead of the bike front end) towards the U-turn path. This tightened up the turn radius noticeably. I am still working on relaxing through the turn and on achieving consistency. Thanks a LOT !.
You're welcome Jon!! Glad it's helping out :)
Just got my motorcycle 2 weeks ago after being away from it for 30 yrs. I begin every ride now by pulling into the church parking lot near my house to do my practice. U-turns, figure 8's stops and starts with 1 foot down. Builds confidence and everyday I go farther and farther on my rides.
awesome!!

I have been doing the exact same thing!!! For the last 2 months of owning my first bike. It is a large Yamaha Road Star 700+lbs cruiser. I have to say it has really helped with my confidence.
I’m wayyy more confident after watching Moto Jitsu. I swear my bike feels lighter when I do everything properly
Awesome!! Keep at it: )
Relatable. My bike weighs as much as a horse when I’m using the controls wrong.
But is better than a bmx bike when I use them correctly.
Well in a sense, the bike IS lighter.
It's lighter relative to the amount of effort you physically use to muscle the bike vs allowing the bike energy to guide/correct itself. Engine "muscle" is always going to eclipse muscle "muscle" 😉
Mee too!
@@Michael-im1vc well put
This is very good advice.I have been riding for 50 years now,but you NEVER,stop learning,and you NEVER stop revising!
Get into more formal training!! MotoJitsu.com for my new app!!
This is the best channel on UA-cam for learning how to ride a motorcycle by far. This one video helped me so much. This man knows what he’s talking about.
thanks!!
Agreed.
Thanks GOD for this very wonderful person... Here in the Philippines we dont really have the privilege to attend seminars and training (not all of us can) and this channel really helps us riders to learn stuffs for free as i bought my new bike yzf r3 i am very new to it and your advice helps me build my confidence and enjoy my ride thanks a lot...
👌🏼thanks :)
Wow man, the way you explain stuff in all your videos is so detailed and clear! Thanks so much for taking the time to share this information with us. I love your drawings and all your visual aids.
Thanks!! Share it with fellow riders! MotoJitsu.com
I think your clutch control videos are the most helpful videos I've ever seen on the topic. I came from an automatic scooter to a motorcycle and after watching these videos, I instantly have a lot more confidence when practicing on the motorcycle.
Thanks Midnai! :)
I struggled so much with this in the MSF course and they never explained it like this. Thanks so much for making this video.
❤️👍🏼
"20 days a week."
Fast Eddie riding so fast he warps time.
hahahaha
Your video instructions have helped me improve my riding. Thanks for all that you do.
You're very welcome!! :)
Spencer, YES! DITTO!
Same here
I did this in the low speed, tight right turn on the MSF course I took.... passed it!!
Don’t Think About It Too Much!!
as a new rider I'm so glad that an experienced rider told me about this channel!
awesome!!
I just happened to stumble upon your channel, and I’m so glad I did. You broke everything down and made it so simple, now I can’t wait to practice. Thank you.... and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks! Lots to go through :) check out MotoJitsu.com for my app, books, etc
Austin Powers 40-point turn, LOL! Awesome tips man
lol! I found that funny too thanks!
Classic scene 😁🤣
Hey Fast Eddie - I don't know if anyone had told you this but they play at least one of your tight turning videos as part of a motorcycle licensing program here in South Korea for us English speakers who live here. It's been really helpful for me to hear a fellow Californian explain stuff as I prepare for the Korean test (basically a right angle turn and slaloming). Thanks for the solid content!
awesome!
These tips so helpful! Thank you
Anyone that spends time with you in the flesh is absolutely blessed...maybe one day I'll be able to go ride around with you.....thank you...for a new rider that I am your videos have really helped me....Im trying to be one with my bike and as relaxed as I can be while on it....so far not much putting foot down...feel the control thus far has been ok but again I'm so new to this but I did drive a stick shift for a long time not that it has anything to do with it but I kinda feel I have more control of the clutch...I like the idea of feeling smooth on the bike and not gettimg too much in my head...that's when I mess up.......thanks for what u do, brother
You're welcome Carolina, we will ride together.
Thanks alot for these great videos ,it really helped me improve my riding
Of ALL the videos I've seen to try and learn to improve, ALL of them have always said to turn your head to where you want to go. I've always done this but have never felt comfortable making the u-turn, have never been consistent and could always be tighter. Head fully turned, but somehow my shoulders did not follow as they are magically supposed to. Now, I realize that I need to have an "eye" on my chin AND body to force my head AND body to turn ! Makes sense.....but you 're the FIRST I've come across to actually say it. THANK YOU and "yes", friction zone...millimeters at a time ! It's an honour to support your cause because you really do make a difference in safety !
Thank you so much Ninja!! :)
All the away from Australia here. Thank you for this video. It has massively helped with my slow speed turning. Your videos are very detailed and are easy to follow. Keep up the great work.
You're welcome!!
Thank you so much for talking about this and emphasizing slow speed drills! So much emphasis is often placed on going fast and long rides for new riders. Practicing in neighborhoods and slower streets with lots of stopping, starting emergency braking and watching out for drivers and pedestrians not paying attention is very beneficial practice.
thanks
Thanks for watching ❤️ Share it with others 😁 MotoJitsu.com for my App, Books, Merch, Discounts, etc. 👍🏼
Dude, so grateful to you! You’re a wonderful teacher. Thank you x 1M!
Thanks!!
God bless you for this work you do.
I've been on bikes for 50+ years. I have done some advanced rider training but your illustration with the eye on the chest clicked a switch. At my age, helmet on, I was struggling to turn my head as much as I could but pretty much leaving my upper body facing forward.
Went out to practice this afternoon, what a difference!
😊😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Fantastic description . Very helpful. Where the clutch begins to bite. Compounded minutes add up . I ride 2 hours a day 20 minutes dedicated to slow speed maneuvers and a couple Emergency braking runs . I’m running while and blue courses a mix . Some things I can do at your blue level a few at white . But I always warm up at white before attempting blue level skills . Thanks so much for helpful videos . U do such good work . Great efforts .
That's awesome Mark! Good for you for practicing, I hope to inspire more people to do exactly that :)
Thank you Fast Eddie. It's crazy how turning head/body makes a world of difference when I practicing low speed turns. I'm a very new to riding(300miles old) your videos have help a lot.
That's great Omar!! I'm glad they're so helpful :)
Finally got my Street Triple last week. The feeling is incredible. Am meditating on your every good advice. Thank you so much for being the best tutor of UA-cam. 🤘🏼😌
Congrats!
Insanely well explained video, man. I love the way you built everything up while keeping it simple. Starting out with two key principles which summarize the whole idea and then elaborating further into the details of those principles. Additonally, using simple and clear drawings to support your explanation. Very creative and it helps me understand the message. Please keep doing what you are doing and teach riders how to improve. I will be on the road keeping in mind the ideas of this video.
Thanks!! :)
BROO THIS WORKED. Im practicing my uturns and i was shocked this worked. THANKS ALOT
You're welcome!
Hi Eddie, greetings from Portugal, I have been watching your videos for quite a while now. They have helped me a lot! I am also constantly sharing your stuff with me biker friends. Keep up! Thanks!
Hi! thank you so much!
dziadzior na pełnej wjeżdza. jeszcze nie skończył trasy z trinity a tu już promocja singla z następnego albumu. i bardzo dobrze. dzieki za koncert w Kato ze graliscie dluzej 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just subscribed. Good stuff brother!👍🏾
Thanks for the sub!
New to the motorcycle world. Thanks for your simplified videos. Looking forward to riding my bike. I was smart enough to start with an R3 so I could learn on something I could handle.
nice!!

Great video! You are extremely articulate! Keep doing your thing
Thank you! Will do!
You got it goin on....! Thank you young man!!!
Thanks 😊
Ty!!amazing tescher!

New subscriber - my motorcycle trainer here in the UK sent me to you for home study between lessons. Awesome video - so helpful!
Thanks!
Cleared things up for me. Thx again.
You're welcome!
Been riding for a few years...just long enough to develop bad habits I realized, just upgraded my bike and your video is awesome man. Thanks for taking the time to bring things back to the basics
thanks!
Thank you your draws & explanations are super helpful
And definitely PRACTICE is everything
I'll do it!!
thumbs up 4u
Thank you so much 😀
Luv it ! Excellent!
Thanks John! Share with others :)
I’ve watched so many people give advice about riding a motorcycle and so far this guy has the best explanations with illustrations and demonstrations
thanks! Consider sharing the video with others!! Check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, etc.
Fast Eddies tips and rider experienced training methods are top notch and invaluable! Thanks brother.....
Glad you like them!
I love the hand drawn slides!!! Very unique and "old school" your wife did an amazing job on those
I really appreciate what you're doing man keep up the good work!
Thanks! Consider supporting the channel! Patreon.com/motojitsu
Thanks for this video! Sometimes a good explanation and a clear picture are SO helpful! When I ride a U turn I now have your picture of eye on chin and chest in my head, making me COMMIT to the turn. It really makes a difference. And I agree about practice, but this vid made me "hours" better just on its own!!
you're welcome!!
Very good tips indeed!!!! Always a pleasure to watch!!!!
Glad you like them! MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.!!!
Use these techniques in Bangkok traffic, still learning. Thank you sir.
You're welcome!
Outstanding! This helped greatly. Connected the dots.
Now go practice!
Good vid man. I agree clutch control is key to riding!
Ride safe keep braapppin!!!
Thanks! Share with others!
You're awesome man! Watching your videos really give me the motivation and confidence to get better at riding. Ride safe brother!
Thanks
Love it..Thanks
Great video !!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Your videos are amazing, thank you so much for that!!! I am brand new on this ans using your tips everytime I go to a parking lot close to my place to practice... still very raw and a little nervous everytime I go on my bike lol... but getting to know my bike and become one with her it's being a great experience!!!
You're welcome!!
Love all ur vids man ur a great teacher Eddie! Lol I wish I lived close enough to get in person classes
Thank you!!! Share with the other riders in your unit/base :)
A late happy new year Eddy. This tip with the eye on the chin and chest is awesome, I'm definitely gonna be practising that when I get back out on the bike. I haven't been on it at all over Christmas because the weather and temperature's been very bad. And duct taping the foot to the peg? that's a bit harsh, tough love =P
And that Austin Powers 40 point turn thing brought back some bonkers funny memories. Thanks always, stay safe.
You too!! Hahahaha yes, don't do it!! Leave the duct tape at home lol hahahah right? lol
Great tips, thanks for the advice.
you're welcome
TY just got my first 1750cc cruiser and boy, is it hard to ride! still getting used to her and your tips help out alot!!
You're welcome!! :)
great to see the passion... awesome...thank you bro
you're welcome
Another great video. Thank you so much and please keep them coming. I love the way you explain things in easy clear understandable verbiage and not large words. Take care. 👌
❤️👍🏼
This is one of the very best videos on low speed riding, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, discounts, etc.
Bro, your videos are fantastic. I love the passion and dilligency you put into each. Taking my MSF next week and You've helped my confidence soar.
Thanks!!
Really well done video. After years of driving (not riding) it comes natural even though in driving you never do it but I get the mist of it.
thanks :)
Great explanation. Thank you!
You're welcome!!
This is the best didactical video ever made about where to look when turning. It has the wrong title: it's not "low speed control tips", it's where to look slow or fast. This makes you sit so relaxed on the bike.
thanks
Thank you for the info
Any time!
MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.
The fact that you take time to draw these and explain in detail is amazing
PS: I hope you keep these drawings and illustrations in an archive or something... or perhaps scan them to preserve them forever :D
Thanks!!! I did at first, then it became too much stuff...too many books piled up lol
MotoJitsu® haha yeah, I can imagine
So much stuff
Most excellent advise and demonstration...just terrific!
thanks! SHARE IT
Thanks as always for your videos. I've been watching you for a long time now, and am always inspired and instructed how I can become better IF I PRACTICE.
*Also: you may want to consider getting a wireless clip-on mic set up so your audio is consistent no matter where the camera is. Then the audio level doesn't jump from can't-really-hear to oh-man-that's-loud. Would help inside your helmet out on the lots, too. Anyway, thanks again for your awesome instruction. You're one of the best 'bike gurus' I've seen on UA-cam. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks Eric!! Yes, there's a couple limitations with my "only iphone" production I do, but I like it this way :)
I struggled with all of this last night practising my dreaded U turns. Hugely helpful as always!! That bike falling bit - had no idea how to correct it. Now I know. Cheers!!
That’s great! I’m glad it’s helping:)
Just got my first bike a couple days ago and it's it's such a surreal experience how hard low speed maneuvers are.
More practice!
Great advice! I am on a waiting list in July for a pre-learners training course and booked in August just in case. Luckily I got a park near by with a parking lot i can practice in. I can'y wait to start practicing.
Sweeet!!!
Brilliant advice and video. I'm off to practice.
You got this!
The way you explained counter steering really helped! Here in romanian motorcycle school, u have a whole "circuit" of things (going through cones, 6 figure 8, and then, swerving out of obstacles. That is where counter steering really helps
counter steering is how you initiate any turn at any speed on any bike, the more aware of your actions, the better off you'll be
Extremely helpful. Thank you 😊
You're very welcome Sadie :) Share with others, I think this can help out a lot of people :)
Great videos, you are a very good teacher; many thanks man.
Glad you like them!
I’m watching you videos at parking lot and doing my training, I m doing better now.
I thank you very much for your time to explain all your experience with us
you're welcome!
Hi Eddie. Sent my son a text asking him to watch this video. He already knows of you and has watched some of your videos. I HIGHLY recommended you :) He just picked up a street bike this past Saturday. A really nice Triump Street Cup. It was very cool to go riding with him over the weekend. He really did well on the bike. Hope to spend time practicing the drills with him as well. Will try to coax him into becoming a Patreon. :D And congrats on the 89K!!! I'd say 100K before year end is in the bag!
thanks!! Nice bike :) Yes!!! 100k sooooon and my 2nd and 3rd book will be out this year as well :)
Excellent video. I like how you explain everything. Thanks.
😊👍🏼
Thank you i love youre videos man
You're welcome
I practice everyday, low speed maneuvers . Head, eyes and clutch on friction zone. I listen to you and place myself uncomfortable by turning to the right and try to scrape my boards. sometimes I do. I do try to make a it tight right circle. great video.
Awesome!!!!
thanks for the knowledge ossss
😊👍🏼
Never had this explained so well. I tried it and it works. Always had trouble figuring out the clutch and looking. Nice job
Glad it helped:)
FE, this is super helpful. I don't ride Sundays as I can ride all week and Sundays are "the ego has landed" days, when office monkeys get to show how badass they are, ha, ha...but I did find a parking lot and work some drills like you say. I'm going to build it into every ride for 10 mins just like you suggest. Thanks a lot, and keep 'em coming, they're so helpful.
I'm glad to hear! :)
I swear your the best motorcycle coach Ive learned a lot from you 👍
Thanks!
Glad I had UA-cam and guys like fast Eddie to be able to learn a lot of this before I even got my bike just to take a lot of the learning curve out. Knew what to do just had to get on the bike practice, and execute!
thanks!
Another great video. You are the best! I'll get this eventually.
Thanks! Go practice!
The vision part is massive. But it’s so hard to break new riders of it. Taking a photo like he said is the best way if you can do it.
This topic is very helpful and life saver... Thank you very much again..
time to go practice!!
I just wanna say you are awesome. These videos are so informative and helpful.
Thanks!
Best slow speed turning advice yet. Exellent
Glad it helped
Thanks again !!!
You're welcome
Thank you very much for this extraordinary good video. I am German and I am not able to understand every word but the automatic speech recognition (text in English at the bottom of the video) was very helpfull.
Congratulation to this video. It shows us many things: (I am fighting with myself to get no tears in my eyes, no irony)
1. There is no need to use painful intros with loud distortion guitar sounds or anything else.
2. There is no need to use costly computer-animations. In this case a drawing is absolutely sufficient.
3. There is no need for painful percussion or any music or anything in the background.
3. You are able to put yourself in the position of the viewer who wants to learn it.
4. You are able to explain which reactions are naturally (pull the clutch before falling instead of loose the clutch a little bit and so on) and how to learn to "fight" against the normal reactions.
Your main object is to explain it so drivers have a really benefit. Maybe you think by yourself: Why nobody has told me that before.
Now in germany it is 5 degrees Celsius over zero. But in a view weeks I will try this. Thank you very much.
😊👍🏼
This was a great watch for me! I think I’m pretty good rider, everyday I can only get better. I stretch my ride season as best as I can here in Canada. I’m so going to buy a stack of pylons for empty parking lot practice. Thanks 🙏🏻 I’ll send you some footage once my year kicks off. Also I watched a vid and you mentioned the larger tires on bikes. On my r3 I matched what the track and r3 race use which from what I understand is a 150 on the back versus a 140 that comes stock. On my cbr 300 I stayed stock size with pirelli rosso 2 and I could drop knee and run my chicken drips down easier . I’m thinking on going back to 140 on my r3. 💪🏻 anyways thanks again. I’ve been enjoying your channel. 💯
Can't wait to see!! Chicken strips are a pointless thing to think about...and dropping a knee...the point of that full body position is to lean the bike as little as possible.
Thanks!
thanks!!
Just picked up my first bike ever a couple months back(cb500f). But thanks to covid today was my first real day riding it around in a parking lot. Spent 2+ hours just doing low speed corners and counter balancing in and around single parking spaces. Thank you so much for all your videos and intuition! Because of them was I able to be slightly less scared today hah
You’re welcome
Very good teacher, thanks.
Thank you! 😃 MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merchandise, affiliate links, etc. Thanks for watching & check out my other videos, over 300 to go through :)
Excellent artwork and diagrams Fast Eddie ..even better explanations and tutorials 🤘🏼👍🏼🏍
Thanks John!
Agree 😃
I appreciate the way you try to bring home the point "PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE". On the way to my work every morning, there is a big mall with about 5-6 different big car parks. Every day, I go to one or the other car park, and spend 10 - 15 minutes practicing one or the other skill. Then I shoot off to my work. I am a much better and safer rider now. Your videos are immensely helpful. Thank you very much.
That's awesome! Keep it up!! Yes, without practicing, you'll never have the skills when you need it most.
