Thanks for making this and really KNOWING how to make a video. Grahams voice loud enough to hear him and you, and no music. Obviously being able to hear the engine is tremendously helpful too.
It wasn't until I watched the video until I figured it out what I was doing wrong! Video can be a great learning tool, but nothing beats instant feedback from pros like Jarvis and Coleman!
Interesting, I'll have to give this a go on the two hundo. Amazing how difficult these simple techniques are in practice, and you watch dudes like Jarvis who makes everything look effortless.
They really do make it look effortless. That's because it is for them. The correct technique makes everything easier....They make the bike do as much of the work as possible. The trials background taught them right!
It's not used as much as say the pivot turn, but some times it is useful in a downhill switchback to swing the ass end around. I have also seen it used to swing the rear around to set up for a tight turn into a hill. It's origin is from trials where they need to move the bike without putting a foot down. but it does have some practical use in enduro. But probably more known for it's "show off" use.
Jarvis certainly started his career with trials but says he only rides enduro bikes now because that is what he need to train on. Definitely easier on a trials bike because of weight ratio.
