Nice video 👍🏻 and a 10/10 on the prononciation 🤣 Just finished the edit for a new post “10 tips on How to ride like a Pro”. Your content is really interesting congrats.

I am riding a 50cc scooter and foot positioning made a lot difference when cornering

Thanks to the Riding School of Greece, trick No2 saved my life in a road trip in Italy, Summer 2019. I was in an open wide turn (over 100km/h) when a bag that I had tied on the back-sit of my bike fell and got stucked between my chain and my wheel. The bike responded like if I suddenly pressed the rear brake but without ABS. It all of a sudden lifted its self and started drawing "snakes" with the rear tyre. The only thing that instantly remembered was my training. "Let the bike stabilize itself and keep your eyes to the point you want to go". And I did. I stayed calm. I focused my eyes in the borderline so that I was less likely hit by a car either from my line or the other line of the road and literally hold the handle bar with just two of my fingers, smoothly. After just a few seconds the bike stabilized itself and I started braking gently. I was safe. In the middle of the borderline but safe. It needs tons of nerve to go against your nature and listen to the voice of the instructors in your head. The instict says "Do something, save the bike, save yourself". The truth is "Let it wobble". Great video as always Mike.

3:45 This slowmo WAS SICK

Your motorcycle stuff explained series are great!!! I look forward to more of these. They really answer so many questions for me and are so well explained. Thank you!

This channel is so underrated, it is the “engineering explained” of motorcycle dynamics. Love from India.

I love your content very much explaining how motogp riders do what they do. I've been following and watching all your videos from Tyre traction to motorcycle geometry. Am a motorcycle addict with no motorcycle

This stuff is so cool man, great video. Thanks for uploading and putting in the time for this entertainment. I really want to get some lessons on the track.

What's with this overload of content!? I'm loving it! Thank you so much Mike! And Sylvain Guintoli oh my. You're just constantly fueling my passion for motorcycle dynamics!

Thanks for all your time, i am an amateur racer and love techincal explination, you do it good, good voice, no clutter, great clips. Have a good day.

The motocross style leg forward on corners is to move your center of mass forward to get front wheel grip in the corners. You show it once at the end on the dual sport bikes really clearly. It's not quite the same thing as what they are doing on the GP bikes since you corner differently. Your upper body is more upright on an MX bike so the leg really helps get some bite on the front tire.

I found the gearing differences based on tyre contact really interesting, it makes so much sense just had never thought about it before.

Missing MotoGP so much right now! God forbid this virus get's any worse. That said, thanks a lot for providing quality quartatine content!

Finally my questions are answered!! Phew! Thanks for the clear explanations.

Great video; just subbed. The slow motion really shows the skill and commitment of these riders.

These slow motion shots have my mind blow it’s so beautiful!

again excellent content ...good work Mike..makes one really appreciate the skill top riders have worked on through practice and commitment.. like all masters of one's craft whatever it is..thank you and stay healthy & well during these,challenging times ...having your videos to watch while being house bound more or less is far better than watching the news and the doom & gloom they present day in and day out...I am going to get out for a ride today...a little medicine for the soul.. have a good day

The reason I keep coming back to this channel is the way you explain it with the physics involved which makes it so simple to understand

Subscribed a while ago, not watched many of your videos till today. Wow, what great content! Learning so much, thanks!

Hi there Mike, that was really interesting to watch, thank you for your great video 's & talks,behind the skills these riders have thank you friend 🙂🙂🙂

That's a really great explanation and right to the point. The clips you have chosen are really good as well. Waiting for the MotoGP season. Cheers :)

I’m a casual fan/rider who maybe makes it to the track 10 times a year and I find all of these videos amazing. Keep it up Mike!

1st vid I‘ve watched learned more than in driving school cheers from Germany

I love your content very much... speaking of me, I am an automotive enthusiast, I am interested in driving/riding/operating more, than anything related to automobiles (that's why I don't like autonomous cars LOL!!!)I don't even bother about the specs of a vehicle at first when I gets into one... what bothers me the most is, how is it to drive like, or how well can I drive it ..!!! after that only I'll get into other things...... I think there is only a few channels talking about that, and you explain the dynamics and riding techniques of motorcycles very well.... thank you...keep going...!!!

Interesting to listen and watch. Keep up the good work 💪 thank you, Mike!

Hi man, there’s also traction control that helps not going on wheelie while maintaining maximum acceleration that enables you to push beyond that one G, like the computers lower the power to a level that we can’t feel so that we get max accel and traction force. It calculates the spinning speed of both wheels like multiple times every ms. Same with stoppies, there’s like an inertial command unit that controls the force of braking so you can get the max force braking output without flipping over the bike. Also rear braking shifts some weight on the bike. Personally I always initiate emergency braking by gradually applying force on the rear brake then the front. Getting upright is like something we learn when going downhill on a mtb as kids, if not then we have a nice scar on our chin lol. These techniques + the electronic gives like a looooot of gain in performance when combined. Once a gp rider got his traction control cut off by the disks of someone in his tail, exiting the corner he goes full gas : the bike launched itself into a backflip at least 1meter and a half in the air.

This is a great video, it gives me legitimate reasons to all the things I did that subconsciously felt right. Awesome content.

This video needs more views! Thank you 🙏 this helped me improve my riding.

A few corrections/additions worth including imo 1. Bikes aren't necessarily limited to 1G in braking. The tendency of toppling is based on the angle between the line connecting the contact patch and cg, and ground. That's why despite having harder compound tyres, cruisers stop quicker than supersports. 5. While hanging off with the bike a little less leaned may not improve corner speed in an ideal world, it helps the suspension do its job. Otherwise, when leaned, the chassis must absorb the bumps partially by flexing, and they are lots stiffer than suspensions, the reason of crashes due to smallest of bumps at high lean angles.

Wow, I had no idea the max grip was during slippage. As a person who only Sim races in cars, the idea of gaining speed while basically scrubbing is crazy. Awesome.

Quality content. Technically accurate, spot on with the physics...and explained beautifully. Reminds me of things I know plus new insight and questions. 👍🙏 Liked and subbed. Looking forward to more.

Wow... Really good content! The signs of a good product. Learned a few things today and refreshed a couple more. Liked the music at the end, reminds me of this Canadian guy who also have pretty good music on his videos.

Another one: Jorge Lorenzo noticed when he saw the telemetry of Valentino, was that he starts to press the rear brake before cutting the gas, to load the rear suspension and consequently brake harder! Greetings from Argentina, your channel is great!!!

I tried doing a fast lap around my neighborhood and now I'm rewatching this from the E.R

Extraordinary details you gave to practice in so many ways...thankyou... I'm almost 40 years driving in Chennai India and we have a bad roads with no lanes as well as poor traffic mannesmann...my passion is riding only and we have to do what we got only...let see how I going to maintain the same level of a driving & learning to upgrade next level... Thankyou Jagadeesh e

Very informative video. The tip that might end up being the most useful for me on the short term is the one about twisting the outside foot too increase body control over the bike.

3:45 is the sexiest thing I've ever seen

The violin goes so well with the intro.

Excellent video quality. Perhaps the best on UKposts. Cheers, Kirb.

Damn. I learned so much in this video that i had to sub. Great content man 👍

2:13 watch that in 0.5 speed the way his head jerks when it hits the ground is terrifying

You can only brake at 1g if the center of mass is at a 45 degree angle of the front contact patch, because the braking force is equal to gravity then the total angle of forces equals 45 degrees. Many vehicles can brake at higher than 1g without using wind resistance due to center of mass being lower and further back keeping them below the line of the total direction of force starting from the front contact patch (the angle of the ground and center of mass is less than 45 degrees at the front tire patch). The wobble also has nothing to do with rake, and trail doesn't technically cause it but will amplify it and make it happen easier. Any bike, even with no rake, or reverse rake will wobble when the front wheel comes out of line from the rear wheel's path.

Thank you so much for the spanish subtitles!

Damn, UKposts recommendations finally showing me some awesome stuff, great video Mike!

THANK YOU BRO NOW I CAN GET BACK TO MY GAME THIS HELPS ME IUT ALOT 😂

0:37 This is assuming that the motorcycle and rider's combined center of gravity is at a 45° angle from the front tyre's contact patch. The higher that angle, the lower braking force is possible before the rear wheel comes off the ground.

Man, this was awesome. So much great info verified by video. Thanks a million and GREAT WORK!

Thanks for taking your time and tell about this things to us

I found a lot of what you are showing is illustrated in a couple of 30 year old biking books called Twist of the wrist. Beat thing I’ve read that really made me faster and a must for any budding racers

So basically I've accidentally been acting like a MotoGP rider by sitting up straight when I'm going to be braking hard

This video is very interesting for some one like me, who knows nothing about how bikes perform. I enjoyed watching it and in fact watched it a few times. Thank you 🙂 Well done!!!

I actually do some of these while cycling on my road bike! 😃 I enjoyed this video thank you! 👍

More proof that professional athletes are actually pretty damn smart... Very well done video!

2:31 didnt know valteri bottas drove a bike?

Amazing science of serious motorcycle racing & riding explained. Thanks.

Im learnin alot from this channel...thanks n good work

Motogp riders have a screw loose… they’re like “what if we tried to take high speed turns on a vehicle that is no good at turning and launchs us off if we mess up”

Hey Mike, love your content! Did you go to school for engineering? Your explanations are so good!

love ur content dude i learn so many things so here is my subs

Nice video, nice speaking rythme, including thinking pauses, highly appreciated, as well as the quality filming.. You got my subscription ! (y)

awesome video. i must admit, your the only person ive ever heard pronouncing the p in pneumatic LOL

Car guy here, this is really interesting. The drifting in cornering reminds me of rwd sports car dynamics.

In mountain bike racing we do tend to move or bodies to suit how much we are braking or do something similar with our outside foot while cornering too . Great video

This is a very detailed video and educational one at that, you just gained a sub!

3:44 Nice flames btw

I used to stick my leg out when I'd race my friends on my push bike about 15 years ago. Ahead of the curve, me. I used to think it helped me balance and move the bike better. I was right.

Very well explained ! thanks for this video!

Thank you so much for posting this video. I've been watching Motoamerica and noticed that they would stick their legs out at the turns and I wondered why. Now I know. I learned a lot from this 👍👍

I did not know that leaving the bike Wobbling was a good idea. Thank you for your work !

Another part for #9 - If you watch pro riders come out of a corner, many times you will see them finish the corner then directly go to the other side of the track, basically extending the turn; this is to keep the bike on the smaller part of the wheel longer while accelerating so they can apply more power while keeping the front on the ground.

Finally someone explains speed wobble been looking for years for info on this instead of people saying it happens or just referring to it with no explanation.

Wow, so much to learn, not much time. Great information. John P.

Wow, the whole leg dangle thing I've done that for years on bicycles, gives me more control

“but what are they actually doing, and why?” “here are 10 things...... to go faster” you already gave the answer

I have no clue why this video popped up on my UKposts feed, but I am glad it did. Pretty cool information.

5:45 You have opened my eyes so much bro, thanks so much, I will start to ride motorcycles soon, that tip will save my life for sure

Mike you need to watch Syvain Guintoli latest video on leg dangle, you can compare that video with your previous video on the subject.

I learned a few tips thru my grandad as hes done this sort of stuff decades ago rip grandad 🙏👍

As a former road racer it took me actually thinking about it to realize at corner entry I was turning the bars left to enter a right turn(and vice versa for left turns) It all came natural as I slid my butt over to the right that I was doing this but as I thought about the physics it started to make sense. One of the more amazing things I learned when racing I never knew I was doing.

thank you for this nice video! Ride safe bud

2:58.. one problem, I don’t have a bike 😂

i do a bit of trackriding ( check my vids) and although im not very talented i think almost everything you explained comes natural for any rider as he moves up slowly in pace

Nice video man, I love the content and the information I'm moving back to Europe after all this virus stuff but I'm having hard time letting my baby my fz6n go I wanted to take it with but anyway, nice work

This video blows my mind. Very good explanation. Thanks

How do MotoGP Riders use their Rear Brakes when they are sliding into a Right corner, doing something like the Doctor's Dangle?

Just a wild guess: the narrator/person behind this is from sweden? Just something with the accent :) Helsning fra Norge!

Great video as always. 🤙🏽

Very cool video Mike! Keep up the good work. I will start following you from now. 😃

Ohk .. now sign me for MotoGP race .. I know how to race

Are you Swedish? You've got some clear accent.

This is a great video. I learnt about about bike raceing and tricks and techniques just from riding push bikes around the driveways of our house with my subbings. For how big the yard is and for our age it was ligit fast and intense. We would all know the breaking points, the different grips in different places, we stuck our legs and knees out for breaking and cornering, the best places and ways to overtake etc. Mostly using back peddle breaks because the handle bar breaks just kept getting in our way and where almost more dangerous. I so wish I could do something like that again. I probably will go to the junk yard pull our a bunch of bikes and mix and mach parts untill I have a set of bikes. And then i just need to find a good place for a makeshift track. This video is bringing back memories and getting me inspired.

Excellent video! Frequently, I have wondered why racers do some of the things they do. Thanks! Liked and subscribed.

I think you went through the Trail braking too quick, its one of the most important skill right now which helps riders could brake later and accelerate more quickly

3:44🔥🔥🔥

Hey bro blessing man and hope alls well.great vedio and vedios as always. You be safe now

The most amazing fact was about the RPM at turns. I had no idea of it. Thanx man

4:22 *INCCCREASE*

I've never heard someone pronounce "Pneumatic" like Peh-Neumatic before.

This really nice video dude 👍

I really love the slow motion footage in this video
