Great video Simon, are you braking with both front & back brakes together or more on front?

This is by far the best video that explains simple techniques of cornering which resembles to MSF course technique of Look- Press- Roll but in simpler way.

That is one of the best videos (probably the best) I have ever seen in cornering and I can ride a bike! Magnificent, thanks for sharing your knowledge sir. You have a new subscriber!

Good info, however I find it a bit tricky using the brakes, I find it easier modulating the speed before entering the corner

That works but his technique keeps you travelling faster I believe.

When do you downshift going into cornering? as you're slowing down? No one ever mention downshifting

Thank you so much. I'm a new rider and had my bike/licence for 5 weeks. After watching that video i went for quick 30 mins ride and after applying your recommendations i was riding like a completly different person. Head positioning changes everything. thanks again !!!

Thank you very much. I'm still very unconfident when it comes to cornering and I keep fearing that I might end up in the wrong lane if i go too quickly (which should be the correct speed) so i slow down way too much. I'll practice some more tomorrow with these new tips. Thank you again

In case of zen riding, you could also try squeezing every electron of efficiency out of your bike just for fun.

Thank you so much for these tips! On a scooter would you use front breaks or the back ones (before taking a corner)

Oh Yes! But relating it to road riding (I was never up there on the track); Chilling out and concentrating the First Imperative: bin the negatives of what you might just have been through. Leave any argument behind you... Second, Oh Shit! Why did I just hit that house brick in the middle of the road..? Cos you were looking at it, you Dork!

OMG! Thank you! Everyone tells me I should be leaning over and I’ve never found that comfortable. I mean with the bike but always felt I had better control jutting my head out. Finally some validation.

Move your head left, will kinda make you subconsciously “press” the left handlebar more , thereby causing some countersteering

When you are braking in your corners, Are you also using the rear brake?
@xzxz-uy2lm
@xzxz-uy2lm Месяц назад
After years of riding I had a real bad high side on some shingle on the hills with a death drop lucky I saved it by a miracle but I could not corner properly after that, problem was fear itself so I had to re learn everything in theory and trust in it and remember must 100% commit or die. It worked. Hesitation will kill you.

Thanks so much. At the weekend I was terrified on a tight bend where I ran wide, crossing the white line, thankfully no one was coming the other way. I wish I'd seen your video before I took that ride. I'm very new to riding, recently got my CBT.

Tried the head out and pointed to where you want to go this morning. It works so crazily well, but I'm an overthinker, I don't understand WHY it works. Please help
@SimonTheSquid
@SimonTheSquid Месяц назад
It operates on a couple of levels. First and foremost when you put your head out you naturally push on the inside handle bar as well as pull on the outside. This is countersteering and fundamentally the thing that turns a bike. Secondly it positions the center of gravity slightly to the inside of the bike (your head weighs a lot) and this also makes it slightly easier to turn. Lastly and super importantly it positions your eyes where you want to go rather than at the things you want to avoid and this is an excellent technique to combat target fixation which is the reason a lot of riders run wide in a corner.

@newlife155 Месяц назад
@SimonTheSquid Yes, I catch what you're saying and thank you again. I also notice that ,and this might be wishful thinking,that the bike stays more upright while in the curve. Whatever, it works.,!!
