Struggling to learn this track although I love it. Didn't realise till playback that a track instructor was having fun literally behind my back. Hope he sees this. :-)
Front cam is my o so versatile Drift ghost HD and the rear cam is the lovely Gopro Hero 2 before they took a step back on connections (i.e making the external power and mic socket into 1)

Just think how quick the instructor is on a super bike. It also proves just how good standard bikes are and also how slow us mere mortals really are. Keep up with the good vids.

@poleatsky89 11 лет назад

shows that u dont need a fast bike to be fast. skill plays a big role!

@Gallax1 10 лет назад

Awesome track and great quality video, just enjoy the day dude, it don't matter if you're the fastest if you have a good time

@gazgsxr 2 года назад

THE RUSSTER! lol love it

@Gazedd 11 лет назад

Thumbs up for the Instructor!

@collector1946 10 лет назад

Johnny Eagan ... I used to race with him ... he's a very very talented rider.

@AndyManCam 10 лет назад

Ha! He was having a great time! Just shows a good rider can make anything work! I did my first track day recently. Also on a slower bike than the others, but I got overtaken a LOT more than I think that chap did! #21 Snetterton 300 Track Day

@dancebikerdance 11 лет назад

I think the bloke might be called Jonny. I spent a session with an instructor on my Cadwell track day called Jonny and I think he was on a bike like that. Top bloke :)

@geoffcapeschamp 11 лет назад

He's a beast in the corners!

@dearsleeper 11 лет назад

don't be surprised, these bikes are surprisingly powerful for their engine size, especially in the 6k-8k rev range. Plus they're super easy to ride, especially when the carbs are tuned well, superb brembo brakes too ;)

@j1mmyZeta 9 лет назад

The Tortoise and the Hare haha. He must have been doing immense corner speeds.

@twburr 11 лет назад

For a advanced rider and intrustor I have nothing to say. Ive only ridden bikes for 5years im 22 now still learning. Roadcaft Nottingham does help me bulid my skills on riding.

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

Thanks, it's running totally crisp without a problem, superb engine. :-)

@Anyonewhos 8 лет назад

Hahaha yeah I hope the instructor sees this.. its nice to see people with a sence of humour :)

@johniac7078 11 лет назад

beautiful video

@alfapersius8252 11 лет назад

that is very cool! Very skilled rider! Reminds me of a when I was in a renault clio cup with dual controls, got stuck behind a gaggle of slower cars and the instructor told me take my feet of the pedals, he had us going faster sideways round the whole track with me just steering than any one else!

@irnieracing 11 лет назад

this track is so awesome.. never seen it from a trackday point of view. I wanna go!

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

Yeah, the 600 is more of a challenge than the Tuono for sure. The Tuono with it's brute power masked some of my inadequacies. Now to get my corner entry speeds up.

@TheSkiingSeth 11 лет назад

Amazing seeing how much difference on how hard you are on the brakes into the corner and how late you are to use them can save you time!

@DangleVonBallbag 11 лет назад

Out breaking someone on a bike with superior brakes with one hand on the bars. Someone give that man a biscuit! Very funny!

@DrummingBiker34 11 лет назад

Amazing! The skills of the instructor are really something! A CB500 keeping up (somewhat) with the rest, while being able to wave 1 handed and have a laugh.

@33WingNuts 11 лет назад

Just shows its all about skill and corners... youll get there and be doing this to other newcomers in no time im sure.

@antodefanto 11 лет назад

My mate has told me its all your favorite B roads in one lol thanks for the video sir and ill be revising the lines for next month. Ride safe

@ToastToGo 11 лет назад

Lol! What a funny instructor....great stuff. I love when people rock their skill on a "lesser" bike.

@CJW-Media 11 лет назад

Think the instructor in you Russ is the reason behind the high gears in the corners!! Take your instructor head off for the day and get that engine singing!! All your videos are brilliant and offer great advice, thanks mate :)

@AlHillATC 11 лет назад

The No Limits bunch are a great set of guys! :) Some of the CB500 cup lads were at Oulton, and they were running rings round some of the 600s on them! :P

@thompson48989 11 лет назад

Did my first track day here thanks for sending me the site information

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

I try to make sure the tyres are hot first and also open the throttle smoothly out of a corner.

@MotoErgoSum 11 лет назад

Ditto. No brakes laps at Mid Ohio helped me a lot.

@buffalocreid 11 лет назад

Sending mine away this week too. Can fully charge the camera, power it off, come back to it in 3 days and the battery warning light is flashing. Battery is fine as it gives me around 3 hours recording when I use it immediately after being on charge but it's draining whilst off charge and off.

@dbauernf 11 лет назад

Proper way to get owned. :) Great video. Thanks for sharing. :)

@hobblobber3914 9 лет назад

Always a good ego check when better rider on a slower bike keeps up when the twisties hit. Keep at it. Practice is your best friend on the track.

@camwr6329 11 лет назад

Good editing! Like it

@Bikerboy051187 11 лет назад

The instructor has just made my day with all his waving :D well funny :D gotta get me on the track at some point :) All i can say is your better than I would be out there :) BB

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

I've heard this too. Getting to know the track would be a massive help too, there are so many blind corners I need faith in my knowledge.

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

You should be a race coach, love the traffic warden tip! :-)

@gjrocks 11 лет назад

Haha thats really cool. And quite impressive, keeping up with a bike that has like double the power of the cb500.

@fqcraigus 8 лет назад

My advice would be think one nd two corners ahead. Using all the track isnt always the fastest way round the bend as you run wide and slower into next corner

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

I hope he sees this, seemed a nice guy too. May seek his help next time.

@richardguernsey6763 6 лет назад

Good stuff thanx for sharin

@antodefanto 11 лет назад

Got my first time at cadwell next month to. Doing a night and day on the 11 and 12 June. Can't wait love the look of this track and always fancied it. Brilliant video and love the no limits crew. Best out there in my opinion

@Vader-23 Год назад

9 yrs later.... how did it go??? Doing my 1st track @ croft in April.

@jasonthompson3580 11 лет назад

nice vid mate i like it

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

You'll love it. such a complex track with a lot of upsys and downsies, challenging for sure. Have fun! :-D

@CJW-Media 11 лет назад

I down-trained as an instructor years ago, didn't go for the full qualification but is sure changed the way I ride. What it did do was make me a better rider and I and keep that mentality to this day! Would still love to do it but circumstances won't allow it at the moment :( Anyway, keep up the good vids.

@picklepoo98 11 лет назад

He's my hero too!

@nabiji 11 лет назад

He won by default IMO. Incredible talent.

@triumph157 11 лет назад

that was funny but you and baron von grumble should have a track day together,you both are good.

@ellioth7055 9 лет назад

You sure did beat him

@JackSamuelMusic 11 лет назад

i bet you had a right laugh to yourself when you watched it back hahaha

@transdetendal 11 лет назад

he must be quick in them bends getting so fast on your tail..

@ChrisDalvikBxl 11 лет назад

Nice going Russ

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

It's a narrow, complex, hilly track with beautiful scenery (not that you see it when riding) The BSB boys are a different breed, nuts!

@Cromedome3 11 лет назад

Lol great vid

@viperz888 10 лет назад

Good video brian hope you and the family are well

@Daedalus_UK 10 лет назад

The obvious way to improve is to watch others and the instructor as he just knew the track better and what speed to take the corners at, with his better racing line. He simple used that to his advantage to have some fun keeping up with you.

@TristanDesnos 8 лет назад

To make the next step up, requires commitment on the corners, I can see what's needed, i know the bike will do it, but as I approach the corners something in me just goes on strike and says 'nah'... lol

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

I'd done a half day in the wet too so that was my first dry day. Best was a 1.59

@carlhitchen2879 6 лет назад

The best advice I'd give you is to ease off the power on the straights let the instructor past follow him like a shadow through the corners like for like if he starts to pull away through the corners use your extra power on the straight to stay close. You will soon see the difference in your lap times after a few laps behind an instructor. I thought I was at my limit but by half way through the day knocked 7 seconds off my lap times just from following an instructor. Try it. It does help dude. My lap times went from 1:45.8 to 1:38.3. Which is only around 13 seconds off bsb lap record of Haslam I think.

@tintertrailers208 6 лет назад

Carl Hitchen great advice. I've just got a R6 track bike. Many thanks

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

A few of these bends are about 20 degrees downhill, there's no way I'm not using my brakes lol.

@mrflashbang5445 7 лет назад

Johnny!! Haha! I turned up late in a Mercedes Sprinter 30 mins before qualifying to my first ever race weekend and went faster on my out-lap than this instructor did the whole session! If you're reading this Mr Egan I miss you bro!! ;) x

@leeomurchu1213 11 лет назад

I'd be willing to bet your inadequacies are few and far between on the track. You'd some nicer lines into the corners than the lads on the bigger bikes. Nice rear sticker by the way.

@keithhahn4749 7 лет назад

I used to drag my knees in almost every corner down to my toes, and really fast people would zip by me. That was frustrating watching them go turning at nearly same lean angles. And chicanes according to Keith Code should be knee to knee in 1/2 second .5.

@HeadCamThis 11 лет назад

I love how friendly bikers are.

@72jenki 11 лет назад

That guy deserves his own TV show. The Mr Bean of the racetrack.

@andymadden6328 7 лет назад

charlies is hard to get right , forget first apex on exit, roll off on blind spot then nail it on last apex for a good drive onto back strait.. what a circuit.

@stewud 11 лет назад

Haha awesome

@jojen17 11 лет назад

Hahah, that's awesome!

@jasonsand 11 лет назад

never seen onboard footage from cadwell, looks pretty tight, I can only imagine how the BSB boys do it on a race with all those bikes

@EvtheNev 10 лет назад

Haha what a legend!

@TEAMZXR 10 лет назад

Hi Brian I thought the footage was very good & I'm looking to get myself some kit for my own bike. Can you tell me what kind of set up you are using on your bike?

@ian1981uk 11 лет назад

All I know is that I'd be the guy holding you up :P I was in a novice group at Brands once which they might as well have call 'Advanced Group 1' IMO... well that's how I justify my lack of pace anyway :)

@jimmypotter001 11 лет назад

I've only been riding for two years. Sorry but no advice other than I expect that learning the track and pushing yourself is going to better yourself. I came off on the third corner on the first lap on my first track day haha :)

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

It IS fun matey, back there next month for more :-)

@reptilemadman1994 11 лет назад

haha good stuff

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

I thought exactly the same thing, the amount of times I'm in too high a gear is silly, I need to use the revs more. I'm at Donington this Fri so will have a play, see if I can beat my 1.59 on the CBR600. Thanks.

@bezzamobile09 11 лет назад

Haha brilliant

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

Agreed, it's important to ride within your limits

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

Great service and a UK company, I think we should show them loadsa support too. :-)

@leeomurchu1213 11 лет назад

Just goes to show anybody can go fast on a big bike in a straight line,you make up the time in the twisties. Nice riding by yourself though the instructor could probably go round with his eyes closed :)

@perarnoldi5431 6 лет назад

nice and funny video. Not being an expert at all, but you ask for advice. I might be wrong but to me it seems like you could use more of the track. In several corners you leave half a meter free space in the outside and in the apex. I would take at few laps touching the curbs outside inside outside to feel how much space there really is to use in the corners.

@TroggyPK 11 лет назад

what a top sport XD

@BjornBearr 11 лет назад

Breaking... Using all of the track going into corners and out... Thats the inly thing i could say.... The instructor was amazi g you need to go back and find out who he is lol.

@DHRIDER94 11 лет назад

Nice vid, I'm no expert but you look pretty quick to me

@FaintHD 11 лет назад

Its looks like the camera is about to come off !! lol

@ThePercalator1 10 лет назад

like the Rossi style stickers

@MotoErgoSum 11 лет назад

Use a Ducati, Triumph, or another bike with gobs of engine braking. I didn't touch the brakes much at all when riding canyons out in SoCal. I wasn't suggesting never use the brakes, merely that gear selection and being mindful of how your suspension affects your turn-in helps a lot. On/Of/Neutral throttle can help or hinder handling in various situations.

@minibus9 10 лет назад

cool video

@RoadcraftNottingham 10 лет назад

Thanks, still makes me smile now.

@cocker111 11 лет назад

was that your first time at cadwell did you say? what was your best lap time?

@ArcadeCabNBud 6 лет назад

you ride better than my missus lol

@gatito339 2 года назад

don't race , have fun, look head far as you can,keep your line

@TheSpeedGodz 6 лет назад

Use the width of the track bud. You've paid for it, stay safe!

@1964Hall 11 лет назад

It's a great track, I did a day there with Rapid on my RT12 a couple of years ago, got some video on my tube account somewhere. That instructor looked like he was having fun ragging the CB5 as well. I must get one of those Drift Ghosts soon, it was the ghost you were using on the front? \v/

@mcblondie21 11 лет назад

How do you not lose your back end? I'm always scared of loosing the rear on my cb500 :(

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

I don't use slicks. I use the Metzeler Racetec K1 front and K2 rear

@antodefanto 11 лет назад

What group was this in russ?

@RoadcraftNottingham 11 лет назад

I did a Ron Haslam day. I believe 90% of me being slower was due to track knowledge (the very first bend, you don't see but the 2nd guy I overtook was in the way too.

@Johny40Se7en 10 лет назад

What the heck does The Russter mean? nice ride and what bike are you on?

@BBoyXy 11 лет назад

hehe it's was really funny!

@matthewthewizkid 11 лет назад

Laughed a lot Hahaa!

@BIRVS 10 лет назад

If you're ever struggling with the circuit the best thing to do is get the instructor to sit at a reasonable pace in front of you just reeling apex after apex off, you'll eventually get there then start adding on some pace...
