[2/2] Motorbike acceleration explained: HOW to RIDE FAST? - Track racing tutorial

[@motosurgeofficial]

I still come back to your videos 3 years later to learn and enjoy your content Naska! I would love to see you on two wheels again!!

[@alexrodensjo348]

I use it as the bible of track riding im studying it all

[@jassisingh-fr9bv]

I am a motorsports photographer from India and I basically stay at the other end of the track. I am so glad that I came across your channel since I also have that same interest in track riding. There are youtubers who just want fame and views but then there are guys like you who share actual knowledge based on their experience which makes the content very interesting to watch. I hope you get well soon and start riding again, Cheers. Love from India.

[@classicshades]

jassi singh I am familiar with your work bro, love your captures..Naska is awesome and watching such videos you realise how much there is to learn. I wish tracks were more affordable in India.

[@jassisingh-fr9bv]

Mayank yadav Indeed yes ☹️

[@mitulchaudhari5561]

I'm your follower on instagram 🤟🏻🎉

[@Boomproof]

I believe this is the kind of information that costs hundreds, if not thousands of dollars when you hire a coach. I am immensely greatful for you sharing this professional content with us! PS: If your content is THIS good you do not need to ask for subscribers. It would be foolish not to ;)

[@NightRevBikes]

I come from drifting cars and after a few months of getting my ZX9R, I have noticed this while street riding with friends that have newer, faster bikes than mine. When I started letting the rear slide out GENTLY to help me point the bike at the apex sooner, my buddies couldn't keep up, I left them in the dust at every turn lol! Even when I wasn't trying to go fast.

[@domkelly1972]

without realising it you just explained anti squat geometry.. excellent

[@akashnag3879]

This channel is absolute gold mine.

[@ZeroSpawn]

5:57 LOL you enjoy the "whoop" a little too much. Can see the big-o smile on your face. You need to get back on 2 wheels my man.

[@EmperorNerox]

I learned this long ago because if you're going to fast into a turn you have to accelerate to get the bike to turn more, if you brake the will stand up and go straight. You have to do the opposite of what you think sometimes. I never applied it to be able to go faster this was a cool video !!!!

[@sobczak0712]

You forgot to mention that when the rear suspension extends, the front and rear wheelbase gets smaller, which also improves steering.

[@chelluripardhsaradhi6332]

And also decreases stability by a similar amount.

[@HBadger89]

Yes! You’re wheel base is getting shorter so you’re turn radius decreases.

[@classicshades]

He did mention this in one of his previous videos

[@Juuul89]

This video is about corner exit, what you are talking about is corner entry, so no, he did not forget to mention

[@sobczak0712]

@@Juuul89 video is about fast ride on the track and he mension about suspension work during the process so we do.

[@Don_Dotta2786]

Only way to learn techniques are to try em out! Don't overdo small training or you might get applications while recovering like a bolt by accident get rusty and stuff. aprilia, yamaha, italjet are good scooters for feeling, lighter and good training material if you recover. DO NOT FORGET to scrub the wheels with sandpaper a little bit, i thought it was medium/small small grit.

[@698RacingTV]

Awesome videos dude keep up the great work 😎 hope to catch you at the track

[@cartaun5276]

The joy in your face when you describe the anti squat while watching the video is priceless. Thank you for sharing info

[@black350Z]

I think this one is one of the last things to work on. Definitely a very advanced technique. You need to have a very, very good feel for your bike and it's balance. But a very necessary skill, for sure. Great video!

[@arnoldpraesent174]

Hi, excellent explanaition! I havent heard anybody describing it as good as your are doing it and showing it with examples! Very well done to my understanding and you increased my understanding by a substantial amount. Not my knowing about these fachts - my understanding whey. Thank you for that very much! Please do more of this excellent stuff... Update: Once again me - i looked at my track day videos and you are absolutley right with what you said - knowing what to look at - its clear visible as day and night! Thanks again!

[@timcampbell5141]

This channel has to be for me the best on KZbin for riding techniques. Just makes me want to go out and ride more to put everything you explain into practise. Thank you so much for constantly creating this content and I wish the best for a speedy recovery.

[@czarbomba7]

Naska these videos are great! Please keep them coming!

[@naonde]

Alberto you are amazing!!!! I am André from Brazil, I am 51 year old, I have been ride on trackdays since last year afther 20 year without rida a bike, I had been some lessons on tracks, but yours videos have been helping me a lot, I wish you get well very soon. Next sunday is gonna be other day on track with my Daytona 675R at Fazenda Capuava track in Indaiatuba Brazil.

[@latebutfast9446]

melt my heart at 4:23 .. i feel your drifting bro

[@primozmarkovic4611]

8:38 such a misconception. this sunday i watched motoGP double suzuki wins. i watched entire race. not even one bike do what you explaining from pointed time. the rest is correct, the drifting helps you turn more without turning the handlebar. but why the rear end lift and front end dips? you can see there bike have an obstacle moving forward. so instead of moving forward, the obstacle holds bike at the point, same is with cars on dynos.

[@NinjaTTT]

Yup. They actually lower the bike at start for grip, also they have lot of wheelies tipping over... But I think rear end should go higher to prevent wheelies.

[@Redphu]

One of the best channels on ride craft presented by a very nice decent guy.

[@karansawhney2906]

Beginner track rider here. Awesome content. I’ve learned a lot. Thank you!

[@flyingdutchy01]

Every year at the beginning of my season i watch all your instruction videos again to remind myself. This content is golden I haven't met a single instructor that could tell me this information so clearly. Thank you so much for these videos!

[@AlbertoNaskaDELETED]

you can call Edoardo: www.backpackracing.com/

[@diegocarvente2514]

bro, u are just the best teacher in the world, cause what u tell us, u use exapmles for good and bad things that happened to u, and u tell us, "if u do so.... u are gona end like this", i dont even have a bike, but one day i wiil, and qhen i have it, i am gonna folow avery advice u are giving to us. THANK U

[@ahmose21]

The past video was great, but this one is amazing, it's really impressive how you guys can do this without the highside, how you can have the feeling to do it. I admire the moto gp riders but I thing I admire you more because you start to do this in a "late" age. Thank you for your videos.

[@mtpockets4192]

More vids like this. I love when you breakdown specific techniques and things you’ve learned.

[@josegerman8877]

Its INSANE...How you explain these things that are repeated to us to do but never with the why or how or when and it is just amazing how easy to understand and clear you make it possible in our minds to work on next time we go out to track THANK YOU NASKA!!!!!!!

[@PadmaDorjee]

I am absolutely astounded by your generosity to give this priceless information that instructors would charge a lot of money for. You are a wonderful spirit and I hope your success in racing has no limits as you truly deserve it. THANK YOU🏆

[@emerikcalmels3971]

Never been riding on a track but watching your learning curve and how you get more and more sensitive on the bike is really a great teaching to us noobs and makes me want to get on track sooo bad. I'm getting a decent leather and I'm gonna start in france at the driving center in Paul Ricard track. Thanks for the great motivation and the good spirit you put in all your videos man!

[@LambGiles]

@alberto Naska EN ...... Alberto, I am a pro road coach in the UK. (Rapid Training uk). As a coach, can I say to you ... brilliant! You have just such a great way of getting your message across. Be proud my friend, the quality of your coaching videos is second to none! Your passion, the way you describe things .... just brilliant. You have a genuine talent here.

[@neillatham4742]

Brilliant video, no one takes the time to explain a technique like this.

[@yovalgo1]

Idk how he does it but these technical videos are actually super entertaining!!

[@letsdothis9996]

Naska,I have to say, your doing such a great job with this, I do about 20 trackdays a year have 1000 and a cb 500 which I use to push my confidence boundaries, all the feelings you talk about make it so simple to understand 🧛‍♀️👏

[@MiguelCapdeville]

Lets go! Thanks for the final video Albert! I can wait to race again to try this learning!

[@joetrias_racer95]

One of the best technical videos to date. The videos and repeating the same video makes it very instructional. Keep at it.

[@pratikvishwakarma1599]

You are just awesome.. Pure source of knowledge with all bits and pieces which is needed for amateurs

[@imeprezime9049]

Never had a bike, nor do I plan getting one, but I watched all of your videos with maximum concentration and remembered a lot of tips. Perhaps it can be of some use to me in next life. Keep up the great work 👍

[@FlyingWulle]

Thnak you alot Mister Naska. It was my 3rd trackday. I went to Assen 2 weeks ago and tried this technique. I went from 2:05 to 1:57 just with this and improved further during the 2 days :D

[@joejackson5450]

You are very informative and I can't wait to do a track day and practice all of these things.

[@kv42program51]

Tks for the sharing, it helps a lot for the rider who is stock in the corner 😊

[@handgunpro3195]

You should do a video on loss of traction/wheel chatter, you can kind of hear the engine bouncing around the RPMs as the drift is going on which is the wheel jumping around

[@Hay-Sam]

This is called the trail braking technique… thank you Alberto for your enthusiasm, very refreshing 👍

[@Thomas-yv5yw]

trail braking is, as the name suggests, carrying the brakes further into the corner (entry) by slowly releasing the lever the video is entirely on how to steer the bike with throttle on corner exit, so pretty much the opposite I think the technique i scalled throttle steering but i can't find info

[@themispr1papas278]

Bravo Naska. You explained the subject very good. Thanks for your help.

[@fhhfgj]

Alberto you are awesome! I need to meet you one day, you have really helped me understand bike dynamics. Cheers brother!!!

[@darinmccuistion6662]

You do an excellent job of explaining new technicas. Grazie.

[@williamnew179]

This will really help with my lap times on ride 4 and on the track in the future thank-you

[@stephencarbajal5657]

Bravo! Well explained but the visuals help for people to understand better. I can watch or educate myself all day long! 👏👏

[@soulshinobi]

I didn't realize this was part 2, need to add "[2/2]" to the name!

[@AlbertoNaskaDELETED]

Opss i just added it! Thanks

[@zygiszygiszygis]

Alberto you have been absolutely amazing with all these tips, I have not been able to ride track yet because I am saving on a panigale v2 but I do feel like just after watching your videos I have improved without even getting out of the chair! You are magnificent! THANKS!

[@Bikeadelic]

NO WAY! This is so strange. I had a low side a while back on public roads in the uk in winter when the road and tyres were cold and there were lots of little bumps. Since then I’ve been a little scared leaning over too much and i run wide a bit on corner exits. So i started putting a bit of throttle on and it starts to turn the bike MORE so I don’t run so wide!!! So glad to hear it was definitely because of this.

[@steveburr1451]

Thanks so much Alberto, your a natural instructor, very easy and clearly understood, Man I've learnt so much, I keep watching you videos over and over again, can't wait to try this on the track, Steve Burr from New Zealand.

[@mimi1girl2dempsey3]

I do this often on dirt roads with an adventure bike. It takes getting used to but easy after a while.

[@aleharuo]

Thanks a lot Naska! Because of you I gain at least 2 seconds from my previous trackdays! Keep doing this amazing videos please! Thanks from São Paulo/Brazil 🇧🇷

[@stefan-stocksmadesimple5241]

This looks like dancing on the edge of having a high side vs not having one... Correct? 🤔🤔

[@p199a]

9:20 its called "Anti squat" and its like that by design. Cars can also have anti squat. Its engineered into suspension / drive-train design.

[@classicshades]

Looking forward to more videos like this bro..wish you a speedy recovery. Best wishes from India

[@kevingardner3027]

Thank you much for making these videos they have helped me a great deal in my understanding and skill

[@JamesTPzRoC]

I started to practice it after your viewing your video and I’m also be able to do it from time to time now! This feels more natural to me and my laptime improved a lot! Now I just need to practice more, and apply to every corner as good as possible. PATIENTLY!

[@davidcarvolth7685]

👏👏👏very good explanation, so acceleration does the same as trail braking to compress the forks and makes.turning quicker and more responsive

[@nickthequick]

You are and excellent coach. I signed up for my first 2 day track riding course and I hope I remember some of the many tips we have learned from you.

[@BigDaveTALKS]

Holy crap! That is so awesome about the turning by sliding the tire with acceleration. Great information and hope your recovery goes fast so you can get back on the track. I love these videos also.

[@vijayam1]

Such beautifully explained. Fantastic one Alberto.

[@Iliev_02]

Hey Naska! I love your videos and here is an idea for you: how to overtake with a racing bike and how to defend position I would really love it if you make a dedicated video :)

[@jakeshort1401]

100%

[@ben2390]

Considering ur stuck at home not riding I wouldn’t mind watching more tech focused vids like this (I also enjoy motogp tech talk lol) keep it up

[@ssssangje]

whoa the geometry of the chain and the rear suspension!!! thnx i got it now! not sure if you have read/seen the "twist of the wrist"

[@denislapushkin]

2-nd is awesome as 1-st. Recover fast, Naska!!! Very helpfull videos.

[@thiagobarbosa6242]

Thank you so much to share your experience! Expect to improve my lap time!

[@nicolasbiette5573]

Thank's for sharing, like you're saying :practice..practice..practice 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍

[@dpjohnjones432]

Man this is some great content! I never knew that about the rear suspension under load. Wow

[@JediGamingX]

I haven't ridden a bike in 8 year's, but, i totally understand this, because even cruising around back then, i felt that weight shift when accelerating. It's about feel just like car's but more dangerous.

[@The-Dutchman]

Naska you are the best giving all this info! Hoop you will be back on track soon!!

[@gazooltube]

Going on my third season as a Trackday rider. This is the perfect time for me to watch these videos, as I feel I am ready to begin practicing implementing this technique. It makes sense in the way you explain it. So thanks a lot! Keep up the good work. It really makes a difference.

[@pratheekbhandi]

Hi Naska, kudos to all the informative contents you give us in your youtube channel, it helps alot on track . The term that we use for the round thing connecting the chain are called Rare/Front Chain sprockets.

[@darkshadow.0]

Naska..grazie , tento mi hai aiutato e ti sei inpegnato di spiegarci come e meglio entrare e uscire dalla kurva...tanti saluti dalla Croatia

[@dona825]

Thank you Alberto. Great video. New Zealand fan

[@momocorp0]

Amazing video, never knew or even saw that the pro were basically drifting in the middle of the corners

[@adnan_Ok]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos Alberto. I think it's worthwhile mentioning that it is better to be in the lowest gear possible whilst cornering in order to have more "feel" on the accelerator on the exit. It is easier to steer the bike with the accelerator if the revs are high, also easier to highside:)

[@hdfdhfdhfdhfhdfdhf6991]

awesome explanation, i am from argentina and i love ur videos, so clear men, so fresh, thx for all

[@one-of-us9939]

Thank you my brother. So good to hear from you! You have described next year's training schedule. I'm going to spend all winter training my brain until spring. Then... We'll let the rubber tell the story.

[@frbaucop]

Bonjour Alberto and many many thanks for the vidéos. FYI, when you talk about accelerating in the corner, in fact, you talk about is the throttle rule from Keith Code (California Superbike School) : "Once the throttle is cracked on, it is rolled on evenly, smoothly and constantly troughout the remainder of the turn". For example you can check on the web and KZbin for "twist of the wrist II"

[@sword-and-shield]

Outstanding instruction

[@brittaltpere2359]

Thank you so much for these in-depth videos. I am learning so much and you’re addressing the questions I always find myself asking :)

[@1SM4h]

Not a error, but a little observation... You refer as "drift", and literally it's correct! Vut the "correct" technic name, was "slip angle". When you're riding on grip limit, that includes a lil bit of wheel slip. The YT channel "Engineering Explained", give a very interesting explanation of "grip curve" - from static to dynamic friction (aka slip/drift wheel).

[@shaheersyed2061]

You are love, bro. Really informative and well put explanation. Best of luck for future

[@maly1000r]

Great stuff Alberto however the rear suspension extends not because of the chain but because of the bottom part of the tyre is pushing forward and geometry of the rear suspension you have explained makes it extend instead compress. The chain itself actually tries to compress the suspension. You can try this by accelerating the rear tyre while on paddock stand where you can see slight compression of the rear suspension during the acceleration.Hope that helps.

[@spring36617]

Awesome skill. I’m just practicing on track for few months. It’s very hard to against to fear.

[@MrJoanyh]

These videos are so good! For sure best on KZbin! Really love to follow your channel.

[@ashleysmith-gm8fc]

Are you getting back into motorbike trackdays? I'm from the UK and you have the best track day tips on KZbin be good to see you back riding again

[@kneecoGala]

I like the way how you explain even small details of your experience. haha

[@ralleralle8620]

im always afraid of slides u provoke it!! awesome!!

[@turkishexpress]

8:54 is the front sprocket, great video as usual. Also the R1, at least my 2015, has slide control so TC might not kick in but the slide is still controlled by the ecu.

[@abdisyahrizal4313]

What makes the champs great is,they mastered those skills,and some even refined those skills to greater extend... With different style also,and that is extremely superbly insane... MM braking,Casey Stoner Acceleration. And the goat himself,what makes him great is i think if some rider excels in some and just great in other,the goat is i think scored 9-9.5 in all areas (at least at his prime). Might not be the best in spesific area,but the best average..

[@pointblankracer6274]

Great advice Alberto, thanks, I am on track tomorrow and put what I learned into practice.

[@hopearmy1160]

Thank you bro I have learn very very different things from you 👍

[@hawaiielite]

You example of turning the bike with the throttle at 5:45, isn't it playing the fine line between exiting fast or a low side? You're playing slip angle of the rear wheel?

[@SWTMotoVlogs]

Agree

[@tangoverso]

Thank you very much. I really and fully understood the trail braking, v turn and power drift turning. 👍

[@WilliamStaffordEdits]

You really need to have a teaching academy or something man. Your explanations and examples are A1. Honestly incredible...

[@pnoyryder68]

This is my 2nd time watching your videos to get myself ready for the upcoming track season riding here in the east coast (we still have some snow on the ground 😢) and I truly appreciate the way you broke down your techniques that went beyond just the body positioning. It'll be my 2nd full year of running trackdays and on top of just trying to ride consistently, I'm also curious to know what's next to improve upon. Thank you Alberto and hope you have recovered well from your mishap. Looking forward to more of your videos. Ciao!

[@amark4775]

Magnificent couple of videos. I am trying to absorb your knowledge as much as possible. I now wonder the V lines would applicable to all of the tight corners in Donington ?

[@TheZiunorc]

Dear Alberto, I really like your videos with all the riding techniques, but this one from 7:30 to 10:20 is a "total shot into the dark". Chain driven motorcycle LOWERS the rear under acceleration, so the shock absorber compresses while the front fork extends which is just the opposit of what bike does when tightened to the Dyno. Shaft driven BMWs behave as per your description and therefore are not too good for races. Please review and correct. Cheers from Slovenia

[@AlbertoNaskaDELETED]

If you look into a telemetry you will see what I’m telling is true 😉

[@TheZiunorc]

@@AlbertoNaskaDELETED Then there must be something wrong with the telemetry or the reading. Is then the front fork compressing under acceleration?

[@joseteijeiro6601]

The rear suspension of the motorcycles extends when accelerating and the front as well. On the contrary, in cars the rear contracts and the front extends. There is many videos on internet where you can see it. Cheers.

[@maanuquelloli1564]

Bella Naska so che sono sul canale inglese, ma vb❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ti stimo davvero, sei stato tu nelle ultime settimane a risvegliarmi davvero tanto la passione per i motori e soprattutto per la formula 1 che già avevo, ti stimo continua così❤❤❤❤

[@PadmaDorjee]

Nooo, I just heard the end and loved how you called toes "fingers", don't change it 😁
