Manual Handling, Slalom And Figure 8 | Mod 1 Tips #1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- This is the 1st in a 3 part series on the Module 1 test. In this video I go over the first 4 maneuvers you'll be asked to do by the examiner, which are manual handling, slalom, figure 8 and slow control. The maneuvers we do in this video aren't to scale due to the size of the area we were in, but I have added a link below which has several layouts you're likely to see on your Mod 1 plus a size guide for all cones in the are should you want to practice in your own time.
Link to the Gov website for the Mod 1 layout and size guide.

#mod1 #slalom #figure8
Passed mod 1 with these videos and only been riding a few months. Incredible advice! Got my mod 2 booked so just gotta binge your MOD2 series now. Thanks so much
Main thing I found .. is don't over think it .. only focus on one task at a time and not the whole test ..and just relax ..no rush ..you got as long as you need ....it really helps
You helped me pass mod 1 with these tips, thank you!
Watching your video helped me so much with my cbt in November 2022. Now I got my mod 1 booked for next week. Your videos are always very detailed and helpful. Thanks for everything
Really helpful - thank you for taking the time to make these Mod 1 videos. Good luck to anyone watching it ahead of their test!
got mine tomorrow!!
Good stuff on part 1. That was how I was taught to do the manual handling. A lot better method than just reversing round from bay to bay, less chance of knocking a cone. Keep emphasising, check, check, lifesaver
Useful info. Spend hours watching videos especially on the U Turn. It’s a shame I never got to see yours in time for my mod 1 today. Glad to say I passed 😄. I was taught to relax, hold my nerve, take my time and don’t over think. Just got to pass the mod 2 now 🤞
Fantastic, Craig. Congrats mate. Have you got a date for your mod 2 yet?
@@MotoEcosse yea it’s the 29th of November. Less than 2 weeks away. You don’t have to wait long at this time of the year. Unlike the spring and summer. Fingers cross the Mod 2 goes well.
@@craig9143 not long to go mate. How are you feeling about it?
@@MotoEcosse To be honest I’m glad I’ve got this far considering I only got my CBT late August this year. At the moment I’m just doing last minute preparation for the Mod 2 hopping it will all go smooth on the day. I found your videos on the Mod 2 helpful as well. Wouldn’t it be a dream to ride my own bike and have the freedom.
Will keep you updated if you like and let you know how it goes🤞
Best of luck for it, Craig. 🤜🤛
cheers for another good vlog. iv just done my cbt on saturday time for a theory test and a progression lesson
Awesome content - loving it.
Very helpful for me preparing for my MOD 1 and Mod 2 🤙💥
Unfortunately my instructors did not prepare me in enough detail like you did in this video and I failed my mod 1. To say I was devastated and confused was an understatement. I've rebooked my mod 1 in a couple of weeks and feeling much more prepared from your videos so a big thank you.
Who needs an instructor these days when you can just self teach on UA-cam... what a waste of money
That's unfortunate mate. Glad you've found the videos useful. All the best for test day. 🤜🤛
Going back over these videos after a disaster regarding my motorbike training but these videos are brilliant
Glad you're finding them helpful. Hopefully everything turned out ok. 🤜🤛
brill thank you!
Nice info i will be coming back to this in a few month i just passed my CBT
Love these videos they helped me allot
So after a tough week last week with COVID and isolating, I have been watching the MOD 1 videos and decided to just get stared so I'm all booked up for my DAS in May. I'll still be watching the videos and practicing on my 125 but can't wait now 😁
That's awesome, Dave. All the best for your test. Hope you're feeling better as well. 🤜🤛
thing Im worried about is the manual handling. Im not a big girl and any of the 32 stone going towards me is like trying to push a mountain. Definitely like working out - feel like it will just take practice :) thank you so much for your extremely helpful and calm videos ! x
interesting about the size of the mod 1 test ground. My riding schools mod 1 training ground feels quite cramped. I have my mod 1 tomorrow so Im hoping the manoeuvres will be easier than the practice ground
Thank You.
Hoping To Do My Mods This Year.
Hey, Sandra. All the best with your mods. 🤜🤛
@Moto Ecosse Thank You.
I Have Done My CBT & Theory. Onwards!
got my mod 1 on wednesday, confident with everything but my u turns so hopefully on the day i can pull off a good one
All the best for it mate. My U-turn video is up on Wednesday. What time's your Mod 1?
@@MotoEcosse ah i’ll miss it probably as my mod 1 is 8:20 am but i’ll be leaving my home about 6:30am so i’ll wing it haha, had a mod 1 lesson the other day and cracked out plenty of good U turns so i’m hopeful i’ll pass
@@MotoEcosse smashed it no minors, now onto binging your mod 2 videos 🤣
@@JD_CBR congratulations, JD. Perfect pass mate. Full licence is within reach mate. 🤜🤛
@@MotoEcosse can’t wait! thanks for your videos they are a great help mate
I have 10 minutes Saturday for an assessment to see whether I need 3 day or 4 day course. I'm not looking forward to it since I only rode a 125 and will be rushed through an assessment on a 650 :C
Another good well explained vid. Much better than my instructor ever gave. Actually loved the learning process and going through the stages. So sponge every word in you can,take your time, enjoy and check check check.
Ps red balls? Cold in the Stirling region eh? 😏
Always cold in Stirling 😂😂
Hi ya, thank you so much for your videos!! I passed my CBT and I’ve been riding my 125 for a few months? I would love to do my full licence (I’m 45) so could do direct access?
But I think I will fail on the manual handling! I can’t manhandle my bike when off of it!! Partly because I’m scared of dropping it and partly because of its weight… I’m 7.5 stone and 5.5 will I need to do the manual handling on a bigger bike if I eventually want to ride one? And can I do it sitting on the bike?
Stupid questions I know but I’m new to this!!
Thanks
Tash
Looking forward to your u-turn vid.I got thro my mod1 but I struggled with it.
When practising my instructor confused me; after each go it was always more throttle, a bit of back brake, clutch in, clutch out a bit!!!!! Didn’t know if I was coming or going. In my test it was more about just getting through it, in the end I coasted round!!!!!. I still go and practice it now to try and maintain and improve the skill. Don’t know if you’ve come across MotoJitsu, he does some good vids
Hopefully my U-turn vid will have some pointers that will help. Once you nail it the first time you'll be pulling U-turns like a pro. I know the name but haven't checked any of their content. I'll have to check them out. 🤜🤛
So on the slow ride behind the examiner no feet on the ground for balance of reassurance? I want to give my son some easy advice or a definitive no no, if that makes sense, thanks geezer
Got my mod1 on Wednesday Slalom and Figure of 8 is my weakness! So I'm binge watching this and practicing in my partners 600RR. It's 5 days away but it's stressing me out.
Yeah they can be tricky while learning. Just remember to look between the cones for the slalom and look where you want the bike to go on the figure of 8. Nice smooth throttle and clutch control as well. All the best for it. 🤜🤛
i start my training for my a2 license tomorrow and am a little nervous as I have never been on anything other than a 125 that I am very confident on but I'm just worried that the bigger bike is going to be harder to get used to, any tips?
You'll have a blast tomorrow. Honestly riding a bigger bike might seem a bit intimidating but I can genuinely say that they are much easier to ride. They're more planted and having the extra power makes getting up to speed limits etc a breeze. Obviously they're heavier but while riding them you don't notice the weight, it's only when you're doing the manual handling stuff you feel the weight but they're still easy enough to maneuver. 🤜🤛
@@MotoEcosse thanks mate appreciate the advice and thanks for the content
Good luck, enjoy
passed mod 1 thanks to you, now on to the mod 2 so fingers crossed for that :)
