to be honest, I wasn't able to practice what he was teaching until I was going at a faster pace, learned the fundamentals of how the track operates but I'm a hands on learner 🤣
It happens quite often between the beginner and intermediate groups especially. Sometimes people’s egos make them put themselves in the intermediate when they should be in beginner, some times a guy who’s done a few track days thinks they’re still a beginner but have got a lot faster, sometimes it’s just that last track day other people were on average a lot faster or slower than today, abs other times they just have a disparity in group sizes and they’ll try putting people in other groups and then realise they made a mistake, etc. it’s happened to me a few times, I actually had a little spell where I was well into the intermediate group at Philip island, but defo a beginner at broadford lol.
@@TheKilaCam you where balls out brother ❤️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LU-ynRoqDEs.html My local circuit ❤️❤️ The Ulster Gran Prix.
Just need to be aware of the Dunning-Kruger effect and "beginners" luck. Borrowing from the bag of luck to fill the bag of experience. No place to be hanging it out in the wind of death shouting "fuck yeah!". Sometimes your hand comes back empty from the bag of luck and there isn't enough in the experience bag to bail you out. Those are big speeds, so they will be big accidents. Besides. If you got that good at carving lines on the public road, you probably have a life expectancy of about 35.
lol yeah that happens a lot, I got kicked out too and so did both my close mates, we had been riding street aggressively for years before going to the track for the first time
kicked out because he was too good????? really???? sooo many throttle position changes mid corner it made me laugh!! on, off, on, off... also hanging off the bike in anticipation of a corner about half a mile from the turn.... yeah, he isnt too good at all
@@corylepire342 you don't get to be a coach by being slow. Especially when it was a organization put together by the mid ohio school at mid ohio sports car course. He was policing liars that lied about their riding experience. Too many guys sign up into a group they aren't capable of doing the pace that group should be capable of. Anyone going slow got waved in and told to ride with him and he gave them 2 laps to run a minimum lap time.
Hes smart thats exactly what he should have been doing, the last thing you wana do is ride outta ur class group its dangerous, thats y they do that. The track I go to does the samething,ive never been bumped lol but seen it happen
How can he sand bag at his first track day. The truth he is is far more skilled than the average rider coming into the track world. I was running advanced pace my very first track day. Got a bump to intermediate and was told "If you ride like this tomorrow, you'll get your A bump too" Too bad I didn't stay, I never got that bump because the orgs owners developed a distaste for me based off of my political beliefs or lack thereof in their minds.
11:05 this guys is the example that it doesn't matter how fast you are, only the ride and enjoying the ones that know how to go fast, maybe someday be like them...
Awesome and always remember that some days you'll feel like Rossi out there then the next time you may feel as if you're running on 2 cylinders, but that's all part of the learning process. Stick with it even on days you don't wanna go make yourself and your improvements will show. One last thing.....no one wins races on the street just a glorious ride with flashing lights to the hospital. Great Job!
That’s me walking past you at 5:57 probably wondering why you’re talkjng to yourself hahaha. Me and my gf were pit next to you guys, silver Daytona in 8!intermediate group and black ZX6 in novice.
Just happened across this vid, reminded me of something that happened to me a few years ago. I had been doing track days for a few years and usually ran in the fast half of the intermediate group. In February I found an Aprilia RSV Mille in Connecticut. I bought it during a snowstorm and , soon after hauled it down to Florida, straight to Jennings GP. I was familiar with the track, but never having ridden this bike, and not riding any bike for several months dure to winter in New England, I opted to start in the Novice class. After a couple sessions I was passing everyone in the group. While resting in the paddock between sessions a gentleman rode up and engaged me in conversation. He told me I was a courteous rider, not scaring anyone, and could stay there if I liked, but that I really did not belong there . I explained why I was riding with the Novice group and he very tactfully suggested I move up, saying it would benefit me more. Turned out he owned the track, and facilitated the move. Class act at a friendly track.
I love riding my bike, but I'm into low and slow shit, just cruising. However, I love track days with my cars. And this bike cam of you on the track just looks awesome man.
I will watch this video multiple times. It is sooooooo gooooooood!!!! U are doing it fantastic. Keep this up!!!! Would like to see more of these track day videos. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Towards the end there when the instructor looked back to see where you were, and you were maybe 2 bike lengths behind him, I giggled! That looked like a blast man! Nice work!. Going to have to follow this! 💪👍
Great video! Love seeing good trackday videos. As a rider coach, my only advice would be to concentrate on lines and body position. The speed will come. I tell my students, set up your body for the turn, clear before so that your bike has time to settle in before you really work the tires and suspension. Keep it up!
Throttle control in the corners could be better, you’re burping a little too much in the corners, but that’s a decent start. When you get to know the track and move up in the advanced level you can pass all day long. Just be patient. Next week you can race Marc Marquez 👌🏾
Lmaooo I got such a big smile on my face when I got to him kicking you out of his class. I really thought from the title and intro that you were getting booted outa there. But that was some wholesome shit right there. “YOU CANT BE IN MY CLASS YOURE TOO FUCKIN FAST” that’s what you wanna hear 😂😂
TheKilaCam I was feeling it man I was leaning w you!! I’m a beginner when it comes to street bikes and being on a track that’s not dirt is one of my goals. I’m DEFINITELY gonna look up that movie that you showed in the beginning😂😂
Haha damn dude that got me! Thought for sure he was actually kicking you out and I was like whaaaat the fuuuuck hahaha. Nice job dude, even against the rules, you seemed to be passing respectfully and confidently
Anyone could do a bike video but this guy. I love the personality and the vibes that be in the vid. First video and already subbed lol. I didn't even see em on the track yet 😂👍🏾👌🏾
Okay. Kam, I was FUCKING SCREAMING hype watching this brother. Wife had to yell at my ass to cool down. Watching your progress as a rider, your passion come to life and getting to LIVE YOUR DREAM has ME fucking AMPED. Doing your thing TOUGH bro!!! Keep on they ass and learn this track life. Im trying to get out there soon too 😭😭 anyways. Love you man, FUCKING DOPE video. Listen to these coaches and keep practicing. They're guidance and tips will help you become faster and faster. It is NOT common for people to bump on there first day. Goddam im so excited right now and i didn't even get to hit the track!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
The instructor seems pretty blunt. I was actually a little nervous watching the video because he seemed like he was getting on you hard. Then when he said he was kicking you out of your class, I thought: I would be SO PISSED. Especially if I paid whatever you paid to do that track day, and it was based on a one-time mistake as a beginner. Then he just bumped you up 'cause you're such a savage on that R6. Lol. Love your vids man. And of course I love your R6. I wanna get one and track it some day but I have no tracks near where I live
When u said “ biker boyz “ is your favorite movie broooooo I literally subscribe to your channel so fast because I’ve been watching that movie since a kid. It never gets old.
Hey man! Just wanna say awesome video and sick editing! If I may give some small pointers on how to get a little better/faster! 1. Through out the video I noticed you're on and off the throttle mid corner, try to brake once and throttle out once. You'll increase lap time and reduce chances of low siding. (You did better throughout the day) 2. This one may sound silly but its crucial but set a limit for the exit of a turn. Dont use the whole width of the track. Why? So you can gauge/push what you're maximum speed is without worrying about running off the track. But push HARD. 3. In the turn, put your helmet where your mirrors would be. You'll be surprised how well balanced you'll feel! Hope you get back out to the track and use this simple but awesome tips! You'll be in the advance group in no time if you keep up that progress you got. 🤙🤙
If you enjoyed this video, check out my other track videos! Easier to find them all under the "TRACK" playlist! I actually addressed and made process on everything you stated up there! If you watch in order you can see the progression as I go through each track day! Hope you enjoy them! Thank you for the words 🤟🚀
Yamaha’s are the best for the track. I was the same way on my R1. In the E1 class faster then most. I got bumped up to intermediate. That’s where I am this Season. Your rev matching is on point. Good shit brother.
Kevin M - so true, I remember going from intermediate to advanced. They fast guys were moving. The really big jump from advanced to expert was very intimidating.
Glad you had fun. A bit of criticism for you..when transitioning from side to side, try not to raise your butt so far off the seat. It’s more of a slide technique. This is really important for S’s. Also, you have a bad habit of keeping a finger on the clutch lever all the time. You don’t want to have a panic moment and accidentally pull the clutch in. Cheers
BAM you are one of the people I love, giving feedback without hating 😂🙏🏾 thank you, definitely noticed how far I raise my butt so I'm going to work on the slide motion and reason I keep the finger there is a bad habit from dirt and street, never had a QS so it was just my way of being able to bang gears, going to work on that as well next TD! thank you so much for the wisdom!
When it comes to track days, as a novice, the hardest part is to figure out which group you belong to. My advice would be to sign up for a fast group and if you can’t keep up go down one group, usually they let you do that. I remember my first track day someone passed me on the inside and almost crapped myself because I wasn’t expecting it!
That's a good mentor, im not a fan of sports bikes and motogp type stuff but overall motorcycle vibes are the same for each bike, and that's what we love, nice video there man
Dude, my heart sank for you when it sounded like you were getting kicked OUT out... Holy shit I love this format and footage. This is the best youtube algorithm suggestion ever.
Makes me smile seeing green racers. All that shinny gear and flawless leather. Remember You ain’t a racer and your not racing until you’ve had a crash. The most I’ve ever learned. Has come from a crash. Lean angle, throttle control, body position. Don’t get too upset when that fancy bike gets broken. When You get real good you’ll be dragging that elbow. Cheers !
Later braking also, much later, your getting there. either on the gas or on the brakes is what your looking for, great first time on track, used to teach myself, was very happy the coach saw you did not need to be in beginner class, get your braking down and you will be at race class
A moto gp rider will pass on the inside no matter what, that’s how you win races, you’d get a better practice on an empty track then having a plethora of different skilled riders in the way.
@@22Epic this guy needs to learn loads, dave moss' mantra is brake gas then turn. Bored of people thinking they're 'too good' for that group when they didn't even learn the fundamentals
Wanna give cred to that first dude riding with u he seen like a really good teacher, really knowing not to waste ur time and easily knowing ur skill and he is rly pushing u to be able to do everything perfect by the end of the day. As someone who also have adhd, thats exactly what i would need
Where is this track located!? Such amazing scenery and green, we used to the desert haha. Nice that you jumped up a group and keep riding at the track. It only gets better!
Good video, always keep the race on the track and you'll Live To Ride!!! Too many fools bringing it to the streets and DYING to become a statistic!!! Stay safe and enjoy the sport.
