On Moto Control channel you will find videos about motorcycles, motorcycle riding techniques, tips & tricks and online motorcycle training for beginner and advanced riders!
A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

Me, Andrey Bodrov and my channel, Moto Control disclaim any liability incurred in connection with the use of riding techniques from this channel. Use common sense, wear full protective gear and ride in a safe and predictable manner!

As a cyclist, I remember reading about this in “Richards Bicycle Book” first published in 1972! He called them ‘haul turns’ I think, but the essence is the same, countersteer and lean into the direction of the turn.

@richardgrumbine4867 7 месяцев назад

You don't say anything about counter leaning… but it appears to be that you and the Japanese rider are leaning AWAY from the turn and letting the bike tilt underneath. This allows for a tighter turn without dropping the bike… and even if you do drop the bike.. it falls under you and not on top of you… am I correct or am I missing something?

@dr.brianjudedelimaphd743 7 месяцев назад

I’ve been using this technique for the last few weeks on my morning commute where my 3rd turn of the day is a U-turn on a fairly busy road with 3 lanes of traffic in each direction. This technique keeps things tight, tidy, safe, and quick! Thanks for this tip! Been enjoying your content. Good, sound, technical info here!

@matthewkenny4135 7 месяцев назад

I feel that with advanced maneuvers like this there is a lot of trust in the bike doing the right thing and restraint in not controlling or restricting the bike from doing the right thing.

Great video as always! I never thought that countersteering could be used for tight u-turns as well.

@TravisTerrell 7 месяцев назад

Yup, and you're probably actually away using it (really minimally) without noticing, tbh. It's really hard to initiate a turn without a brief countersteer to make the bike fall to the inside. (At low speeds, body shifting can initiate a turn without countersteering--I've heard Japanese videos call it "self-steering," but it's not a common technique to teach in the West, and definitely feels super weird and out-of-control at first!)

@benfennell6842 4 месяца назад

@@TravisTerrell It's kind of just objectively inefficient to ever use anything other than your handlebars to initiate a turn. it takes about half a pound of force on your bars to completely tip your bike over and you don't have to move anything but your hands.

@indonesiaamerica7050 6 месяцев назад

Counter steering is counterintuitive if you don't think about the need to line up the rear wheel with your desired line. I do "counter steering" all the time in all kinds of vehicles because sometimes ou need a sharp input to keep the real axle from straying too far out or in. Once you clearly understanding what you're doing it becomes totally intuitive. Sometimes the "racing line" is not what you imagine just from looking at the road. You have to make sharp inputs to keep your "angle of attack" optimized as well as lane or line positioning.

@feedingravens 7 месяцев назад

Standing with straight handlebar, the centrer of gravity is in line with the middle axis of the bike and the connection line between the wheels. Because of the angle of the fork, the countersteering moves the front wheel touching point sideways, the center of gravity is beside the connection line, and so produces a force/torque to make the bike fall into the future curve. Then just start and use this movement to your advantage...

I hadn't thought of this before, but now I gotta try it out. Interestingly, I learned nothing after 22 seconds of this video, but only because I already understand countersteering from your other videos! Of course countersteering still initiates a lean even if you're starting from a stop. Why wait to fall into the correct lean for a sharp turn from a stop if you can countersteer into it?
