Your Best Friend: THE BRAKES 

I've watched many videos on cornering, leaning, trail breaking, entry speed but this is the first time I really truly understand what the heck is going on or what the heck is trail breaking. Thanks men, This video is worth a million bucks. Every rider should watch this video. "THE FASTEST RIDER USE THE MOST BREAKS" This is my favorite quote .

I got my first bike license on my 60th birthday today I am 68 years old and I subscribed. I wish I found you before. Love my bike and pleaser riding it. Thank you man.

Eddie, just want to let you know that you have great videos. I've watched them over the last couple of years here and there. All different ones. You explain it in a very easy to understand way. I learned to get my knee down about 10 years ago and it never fails that we can always go back to fundamentals. You keep everybody on track. Keep doing what you're doing. I never get tired of watching your videos.

You're saving lives man. New rider here and glad I subsribed. Great work. Useful information.

Damn.. even my broken English I can clearly understand what you are talking about.. very good instructor and thank you it helped me a lot.

Make the front brake your best friend! Thank you for watching SUBSCRIBE & SHARE! MotoJitsu.com

"Hope is a not technique" wisest words ive ever heard

The front brake myths are from those that think of brakes as a light switch, rather than as a dimmer.

"public roads" is key. You can't assume that it's your track where you can do what you want and have other drivers accomodate you. Share the road, be ready to slow down and stop. Thanks Motojitsu.

Thank you for the video. As a 19 year old rider, this information may just have extended my years of riding to come.

Man you are an awesome teacher! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the concepts so well on all your videos. I am a better, safer rider thanks to your videos.

This information could literally SAVE A LIFE, thank you for producing it!

"Pratice makes permanent, perfect pratice makes perfect." - Fast Eddie I guess this is the most teaching video about the brakes that i ever watched. Also got terrifyed when i face my own mistakes. Thank you very much for sharing.

14:52 I just achieved the biggest mental breakthrough on trailbraking from this video. I know and practice the suspension/tire contact patch setting when applying the brake. What I had not considered is the time/distance involved to do that. If I'm off the brakes in the corner and suddenly realize I need to use them again I need to reset all of that again which takes time and distance and isn't ideal leaned over.

"Practice makes permanent. Only perfect practice makes perfect." Love it.

This was one of the best videos I have seen. A much more aggressive rider than my self once jumped my ass for braking through a corner, then gave me a complex about braking and I became scared of the corner.. thinking if I can’t apply brakes and my speed was too fast my only option is to hold on slide out.. I didn’t even want to ride.. but I watched your video got out there and feel so much better.

I appreciate your hard work mate. Your videos are saving lives somewhere. Shout out to MOTOJITSU!

OMG all these knowledge for free thanks,very refreshing and helpful.I did believe some of the myths u mentioned untill i slowly using the front brake PROPERLY.

Your explanation of trailbraking and braking in general through turns has helped me more than anything else I have heard or been taught so far as a new rider. I really appreciate your willingness to share your experience! Thank you so much!!

Well explained Ed... 35 yrs ive been riding ,and still enjoy hitting corners +bends at speed on my Cbr1100xx. Im was sure i have been doing this procedure (unconsciously) the rite way,but your video explained the reasons for doing it correctly,,which makes so much sence. Thank you...once again. Mark,in Australia... P.s.....our fires are out😁😁😁

I FINALLY really understand trail breaking, thank you! It’s what I’ve been doing from instinct; it’s just what feels right, but I wasn’t sure if it was what I SHOULD be doing. Thanks again for a video that just makes sense. You’re my fave and go-to for sure.

I’m on a BMW S100R and I’m a pretty good rider. I like your videos because they remind me first to not forget the basics and second to always keep thinking about what I’m doing. I go through some really nice curves and I find myself thinking about what you said and I am more conscious which makes it even more fun because I can push my limits just that little bit further. Semper Fi brother.

Great video with lots of supplementary information. Really like that the teacher didn’t talk a hundred miles a minute, that he uses easy to understand flip carts, talks like he cares, and left all the jokes behind the scenes. Great video for all those other guys making videos. Learned a lot in one short session.

Great advice with dimmer switch. My breaking is so smooth now like I can't believe I was so reckless with it before. Thank you bro. You always deliver! Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for your videos, help and tips. You're awesome. Continue the awesome work!!

The dimmer switch analogy made it click! Great video!

Thanks for sharing. Watched many trail breaking videos and this was the most helpful!

Man I hope you know how much your videos and the time you put into them is immensely appreciated. I just got my first bike about a month ago, and prior to the purchase I spent weeks watching your stuff. Very helpful, incredibly informative, and you do it all without arrogance or judgement. Thanks again stay safe

Finally somebody took the time to explain Trail Braking. Yeah

This is the first vid by MotoJitsu I’ve seen and the best one on about Trail Breaking I’ve viewed. Thank you for the clear and visual explanation.

Today you saved my life man.... Just watched your video on the morning. Thank you very much!

Man I love how you break stuff down, thanks so much for these videos

This was a VERY helpful video, mate! Thanks for taking the time to do real instruction for free for us noobs and others who can benefit from it. 👍

Im a new rider and your info via these vids is pure gold!!! You say it in a way thats so easy to understand. Thank you 🙂

I appreciate you repeating some of your lessons. I'm 58 and a long time alcoholic and don't remember things like I used to.

A popular tv series where they created masterpiece vehicles out of rust buckets also did the same with bikes. I loved them all. Except for one, for some reason, they deleted the front brake on a chopper. One guy joked, "ah, they just slow ya down". The show was hard to watch after that. What other massive mistakes are they making that could cause loss of life? We have to educate ourselves and double-check every new machine we are thinking of driving. Thanks for the help!!!

thanks for the time and effort you put in to your training videos. we all benefit.

Thank you for your videos! Please do not stop making these.

I just wanted to say I am very impressed at the content. I am a long time rider (almost 30 years) that learns everyday. I still go into parking lots (often) and practice slow speed maneuvering, pickups, stops, figure eights, etc. This man is doing it right. Do not loose respect for the vehicle and always remember, no matter how long you have been doing it, you have a lot to learn and everyone gets rusty. Also, I found out this man is a former USMC drill instructor and as a former recruit, I am amazed that he is able to count correctly. "You got 10.... 7621 YOU'RE DONE". Thank you, sir. You are doing great work keeping people alive. Please, keep it up.

It's scary how much we don't learn when we start riding. Thanks for opening my eyes to the fact that I'm missing basic, critical, life saving knowledge, and it's because I don't know what I don't know. Thanks for helping me fix that and exposing me to the concepts and knowledge I need to survive the ride.

I like how you didn't made a boring PowerPoint, but something material. It changes from my "intellectual" ass job.

Greg, without doubt the best motorcycle advice on RU-vid. Thank you

Thank you brother ! you are helping a lot of people to understand what is trail braking is. Keep up the great work. You are a true blessing! Ride Safe.

This is by far the best video on (trail) braking I have found on the internet so far, love the flipcharts, love how you explain everything in a real simple, understandable way!

Truly excellent advice, as an old timer just getting back into riding, I just subbed and will be watching all your work, many thanks for your efforts

Just wanted to say thank you for all the information and can't wait to start training just found your videos yesterday and it's raining lol

This videos are pure GOLD if most of the riders will spend a little time on your chanel or to another chanel's like this , instead of just jump on that bike and giving gas , man this kind of materials are life savings . May God bless you

This video has made a huge difference in my safety. As I'm cornering, I'm hearing you say "Keep slowing down." I do, and not going wide anymore. Thank you so much for your teaching.

Thank you a lot! You only man whom I know, who do good videos about road strategy. I watched with pleasure, good job! Sorry to my english, I am from Russia

Thank you for that helpful teaching.

Absolutely the best explanations you will ever find !! Clarity and simplicity on this crucial aspect of biking that ALL riders should study and implement. Well done, MotoJitsu for this video, and many thanks !!

So happy I’ve found your channel! Each video is helping me out and wanting to practice more 🙏🏻🏍

REALLY clear, easy-to-understand presentation Eddie; great job!

Your best video yet ! Excellent stuff

Thank you n this is hands down the best lesson/explanation of trail braking I've ever seen/heard.. I'ven riding since age 8. I'm 46 now. The saddle bags in my Harley are all chewed up from dragging curves. I thought everyone knew how to do this. I learned this thru the years without any lessons... The hard way as a young dumb frames kid. I've never been able to put it into words. Phenomenal!!!

This whole body of work, all the videos are on skills and techniques I’ve seen before elsewhere, (msf instructors, forums, riders, books, etc… but for me Its like here they suddenly make sense as to how and why and all comes together and a lightbulb goes off where I’m like “OHHH how did i miss that a couple years ago? How did nobody ever mention that before?” Its not that the others skipped anything, but rather that, IMO Fast and MotoJitsu lessons are the best moto teacher I’ve ever seen (actually one of the best teachers in ANY subject) whether virtual or IRL (ymmv sInce its a very subjective thing). Fast E comes across on his videos like its just himself and the viewer, while simultaneously being clear and likable and connecting one on one, this is a huge talent and kind of rare to find it authentically, so when it comes along its really noticeable, now combine that with MotoJitsu/FE’s skills and knowledge and its just a great combination. This stuff actually lives up to hype/ word of mouth. He’s really really good at this. I dont work for/never met this guy, so I’m not just hyping (i have no skin in game) its just me and my 2 cents here. MotoJitsu is really impressive and totally necessary! Thanks for doing this work

Thank you being intelligent and knowledgeable enough to accurately articulate information as a practical skill

Best EVER instructional vids; well organized, well presented and very substantive knowledge imparted!

Thanks for this awesome video. I’ve watched other how to’s on trail braking but they lacked the detail to really go out and practice it well. Strong work!

Your analogies and drawings are so helpful. The fact that you repeat things instead of breezing over them makes all the difference! I just watched your video about cornering, where you just rode corners, back and forth, describing every step ... from approaching/entering/cornering through/exiting every corner, was sooooo helpful! I felt more confident on my very next ride. All I need now is to conquer u-turns without dropping my bike I’ll be happy. For now it’s 5 point u-turns! Thanks for the awesome videos!!!!!

As a new rider...I enjoy your videos ..very informative!! Learning lots!!Thank you!!

Excellent definition of trail braking. Total traction plus braking is 100! Thank you!

Thank you Sensei! Very informative and helpful!! You all be Blessed and safe during the holidays and beyond 🙏

I am sure You are the superstar of RU-vid motorcycle riding teachers. Thank you for this video.

Also love the graphics and special effects used in the making of these videos 👍👍👍😁

The best video ever! I'm I new rider and front brake practice saved me from hitting a bus that was doing a U-turn. You may have saved my life but at the least a lot of pain.

Dude that you so much for these videos ! All the best to you Eddie and congrats for helping so many people !

Thank you for video☺️ from today your are my teacher sir

I had an argument with my brother in law about front break.. he's the type of person " you'll flip if you use your front break". I recommended your channel for him to learn and not to end up in an accident.. I've learned a lot from your channel and your videos..keep it up sir, ridesafe.

I love your “old school” flip charts. Your explanations made total sense, even to those of us who ride all the time. I’m always learning & will continue to learn through my life. Thank you🙏🏼

Thanks for the in depth video dude you helped me understand the concept of trail braking a whole lot more. Much appreciated!

My cornering style: *slow down to desired corner speed* Alright time to corner. Gonna corner soon... here it comes. Ok turning soon. About to turn. HEADPOSITIONBODYPOSITIONLEANANGLEOHGODTURN. Accelerate out of turn. Lol.

All good stuff here especially the emergency braking segment. Practice at every Stop Sign and red light. Easy and fun.

The most amazing, simple and fully detailed video explained in Trail Braking i've ever saw. You, my friend, are one master Jedi. Congrats

I love the brutal honesty in your videos. Other RU-vidrs who give this kind of motorcycling lessons seem to always want to wrap their words in fluff so that they are maybe not that stinging, but not you. I really like that because I am coming to the age where I have little patience for people who seem to want to handle me with gloves on. Just give it to me straight and if you tell me I suck at something, it's just all the more motivation for me to work on improving myself. Keep it up. I am really glad I checked out this channel a few weeks ago.

Love this ... "Keep on slowing down till you are comfortable" ... you da man ! great video

Always a great video, loaded with good info. And you're having a great hair day...haha!!!

I’m just starting to ride and I’ve been learning heaps on RU-vid. But I can confidently say that the way you teach is great. I feel like I’m learning so much more watching your videos than anything else that I’ve watched yet. I’ll be sure to watch heaps more of your videos and keep on learning.

One of your most helpful videos! Thanks Eddie!

The more times that I watch this video, the more the "Light" comes on.

Thanks Eddie, great presentation, loved the charts. Most importantly - these are life saving tips! I'm off to practice.....😜

Thank you for what you do!

This is a great video man. I heard a lot of those front brake myths when I first started riding and it honestly almost got me killed. There’s a lot of twisty mountain roads where I live and for a while I just couldn’t figure out why some cornering was so sketchy, especially downhill. Started using the trail braking method and it instantly made a huge difference. You did a great job explaining it!

great video! if someone took away my front brake, i wouldn't touch my bike with a 10-foot pole until it got fixed...

You are my best friend 😄 seriously, thank you very much for the vids and information

You are sooo kind and honest.. Big thanks 🌴

I've watched several Trail braking videos in the last week. This one makes total sense on that subject and braking in general as well. Thank you

Thank yo so much for that kind of info that the MSF miss.

I think that is the Motojitsu drill I have most to learn after trying it myself. I tried black belt, as I can do the weave in black belt consistently (stupid, right :P), but I grab the breaks too hard too early, so the back wheel was off the ground for 12 feet probably. Think I’ll try white belt and work my way up next time.

One of the best trail breaking videos for me. Great presentation. Great explanations and diagrams. More logical descriptions of what to do and how to do it and the effects of actions. I have watched several trail breaking videos and for me, this is one of the best.

Simply the best, most pedagogical and intuitive motorcycle braking class on the platform. You are truly making motorcycling safer and more fun. Thank you very much.

Video excellent, drawings sensational, information life saving, hair magnificent 😀. On a serious note though you really are saving riders lives and we all thank you, cheers Eddie

I particularly liked the explanation of front tyre contact patch, under braking.

Thank you 🙏🏼 for your lesson. This saves my life.

Thanks! Dimmer switch analogy has been really useful. I've only been riding for 4 weeks, but your content has been super-informative...and convinced to practice A LOT!

This is exactly what I need at this point, you must be a psychic :'D Also, the hair like that looks great, I gotta say

I've been binging a lot of your old videos. I've got to get used to your long luscious hair 😂 Otherwise love the information as always!

Thank you so much for the great video mate. Great to be able to learn in such a systematic way. You're a great teacher. Will definitely keep practicing the riding techniques you recommend. Keep up the amazing work

You are saving many lives sharing your knowledge and experience. Thanks from Brazil :)

"Keep on damn slowing down." I 'm not sure I was supposed to memorize that particular line yet that is the one that stuck with me! JK...a fine video and appreciate you making it.
