mate, as a longtime track rider, this is some of the best info and probably one of, if not the best video on track fundamentals ive ever come across.

Saturday, Oct 10, I did my first ever motorcycle track day on my Aprilia RSV4. It was overwhelming the amount of things you have to know in order to be any good at getting around the track efficiently. I learned so much about what I was doing wrong. And this video covered the major one: Body position. This is great info! Thanks, Alberto!!

[@swarmer5]

A month ago i had the same accident as you on my first trackday, fixed the bike and going on track this sunday. Im fighting a war in my head to go on track thinking of what could go wrong just like last time but im hoping for the best

[@amrabdelwahab7964]

Am an Egyptian new rider with a dream to own a motorcycle since i was 10 and now i have my cb 599. And sice i got it i used to watch your tutorials and practice it. It gets me a way better riding experience and more safe as well. Thank you and keep going you are borne for this....

[@johnreynolds2055]

THIS IS SO USEFUL! I have been searching KZbin for motorbike racing tips but haven’t found anything useful. I will subscribe and watch every video. I am doing my first full season of racing in 2020 and could do with these tips! 🤙🏻

[@cagrional]

Braking, braking, braking! I've been to racing schools but the most important, yet the least mentioned subject is braking. And it is the main thing that makes difference on the track.

[@AlbertoNaska]

You will see it in episode 3, on thursday!

[@cagrional]

Alberto Naska Grazie mille! : )

Very Useful for new track rider like me, Many thanks. FC from Thailand.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

I'm transferring from Motocross to the road course. Thanks for the tips!

[@mannyserrano4055]

In summary, become an athlete first, then become athletic on the bike to use all the techniques properly. Great video! Keep them coming.

[@johnhagie]

I went to the track only 4 or 5 times, but I enjoy listening to you analysis. It makes me reflect of what I am doing when street riding. Thanks for the well-articulated commentary!

[@chrisgoes7903]

Your advice really resonating. Great your doing this in English (for us lazy folks). I’m only about 18 months starting on track, I so wish I had the this at the beginning of that journey. Still not too late. One of my best lessons is to run at 80% of ability so you are not overwhelmed and you can focus without sh*#*ing yourself. Also concentrate on one thing at a time. Great vid.

[@therealfakecaptain7978]

It's the same when you play musical instruments : you repeat the same exercise regularly until it becomes "muscle memory" and you don't have to think about it anymore, it just becomes a natural movement.

[@ChocCrmCFpBle]

I always come back again to this channel when my trackdays is coming

[@tinuheiniger9706]

All three videos with all the tips are great. I have nothing to complain about. Many would be interested perhaps, when you change the outside foot and the inside foot. Personally I don't know. I believe to change the outer foot only shortly before the apex...

[@danejoe650]

Your step-by-step instructions with the rationale behind them are excellent and helpful! I would like to know more about inside foot/ankle position. Ball of the foot tucked out of the way in by the peg pivot or out on the tip? Ankle open (>90 deg) or bent more to carry my weight? I see pros doing it both ways. Thank you!

[@capiwalker]

im a "fast" local racer in Mexico (slow for the top national category but right on the back :P) and you just let me remember a lot of things that i forgot and you may gave me s great clues to continue improoving, now i have a lot of homework for my training bike on the kart track, i have had some track school but that was a few years ago, for now ill take you as the closest to a trainer now for me. Thanks.

[@P222RL]

The best video so far I have watched regarding riding stills Thx for your generously 1) positive energy 2) how to improve step by step 3) important common mistakes 4) effectively using video and photos to explain complicate matters 5) I spent over €4000 to learned most of them from racing school in a total 4 days lessons but now it is free in a few minutes video. P.S. going to school is a must, but if u watched it before, it will be more cost effective Questions hope u can help me out 🙏🏼 1) right palm position on throttle during right corners ! Will u grip inward first and brake , then transit to grip edge and roll the throttle for exit? I cannot do this transition ! Will u grip outward first and brake ? Then I find the brake is very sensitive and left hand grip outward and left hand grip inward is strange !

[@dannyjohnson7155]

How should I practice lowering the bike? My coach told me that I'm too afraid to do that. But I don't know the limits and I don't know how to practice that. I don't need to put the knee down to be king for my friends. I want confidence in cornering a some metodology how to improve cornering in order to carry more speed.

[@AlbertoNaska]

Good question! I'll make a video about it!

[@DumpThaClutch]

My problem is also lowering/steering the bike. As I dont know the limit to the bike and tyres and I hang on for dear life.

[@michaelczolko6093]

@@AlbertoNaska Thanks for making video about it. Looking forward to see that. I'm eccitata!

[@michaelczolko6093]

@@AlbertoNaska also please it would be nice to mention if it is good to practice on pit bikes or ohvales. Big bikes and roads maybe not good to sharpen your skills.

[@etienneja4007]

@@michaelczolko6093 From what I experienced as a beginner, vision skill is the most important one (having markers for braking, cornering, apex and exit). If you work on vision, you should succeed in understanding right trajectory. Don't go too fast having only these two though, can be dangerous x') Having right trajectory, you can start working more efficiently on your body position and hanging / use of legs for steering etc. You should eventually touch the knee. Your knee will touch the ground way before tyre limitations. So basically if you have good vision / trajectory / body position, you start riding pretty safe. Then you can start working more on braking, cornering and exit speed and approach the limit gradually if you want to I guess, but being able to ride safely is already super good feeling!

[@MillsInc1]

Thank you for the instructions and videos. I would love to see you cover in detail, corner breaking and how to best get pressure off the bars while breaking hard.

[@bikehubjapan]

This is great. I'm preparing a cbr600rr for track use at the moment. I'll watch this video a few times and try to take it all in! Grazie mille

[@florrevansteenkiste]

@@lakaiskates8064 I been riding for a few years Now on the street but its nothing similar on the track . The basics are for both the same but since this year I am driving trackdays and I already sliding my knees without even knowing . So it goes very well . The most important is that you listen and find someone who will guide you … Forget your time laps , Thats the less important . Learn how to drive with confidant . In the weekends , sit on your bike for 30 min and practice your position on paddock stands ( you will not fall 😉. For me its heaven on Earth Since I ride trackdays but I have my teacher for a whole year so hé can coach me and check my progress . If you need to know more about trackdays , follow the tips of naska , good suit brakes and tires and you will smile behind your visor when you see your face over the curve and the bike still on track ☺️

[@cnealmartin]

Now that I have good body position, head lower, elbow out, butt off the bike, open body to face the turn and good lean angle. Now, I am having to learn how to turn the bike all over again. Because I am leaning further into a turn, I was having trouble closing turn in the correct line. Everything you said is perfect ! Dont care about lap time, I always start slow build up my speed. Yes learning not to fight the power of the big 1299 V-twin.

[@rickhunt3183]

You said some good words that people need to burn into their soul that applies to any discipline. Approach anything you want to learn as a blank sheet, and know that you know nothing or you will learn nothing. I'm paraphrasing but you can get the meaning. Great presentation. When someone fights the bike for control it will always win. Video is a good way to see your mistakes and correct what you're doing.

[@CrazyRoosterSauce]

Fantastic information! Simple, correct, clear. This should be a requirement before any new rider gets on the track.

I am loving your vids man. I’m that guy at the age of wanting another bike but statistically according to stats and records the y keep I fall tight in to that guys that rode a lot in my younger y ears then stopped For awhile and now I want to start up again and try and get some track time with an instructor. I’m a little wiser now then before and chill out on the bike and learn and practice good technique. I’m probably not thre wisest doing it on a gsxr1000r . I feel I can handle it if I’m smart and gradually get better .. I’ll soak in any expertness you have to spare sir. Thanks again

[@rsmiech6691]

Thanks you very much for video and knowlage you share. I've been training for two years to be a better rider on the road and track. I think that I'm now track day addicted :-) I loved it. I know how difficult it is to resist the temptation to do better and better lap times. I realize how much more I have to learn and I realize that such pushing does not teach anything. Only way to get better on that is practice at a slow speed and repeat it indefinitely until it becomes our second nature. One thing is great about it. This learning is endless. Thanks for the valuable tips.

awesome videos Naska. I handle the left handers with confidence (to my level best) but on right handers I very often drag my toe.

[@mraki1980]

I would like to explain how to change body position at the begining of the braking. When I have to switch gears down when I want to slow down before entering the corner. And second topic is switching the palm at the throttle when you stoped the braking and you want to push after the apex. You have been talking about this in one of your previous videos. And maybe last one: In what angle is save to have full gas. Do I have to always have full or is good enought to switch gears by the diods at the dashboard? Thank you Albi.... What is the series that you will be racing next year please? :-)

Honest and truthful. Great video's.Inspiring ,informative and no ego . Please may i ask, Im beginning classic 500cc racing and sit higher in the frame (Matchles g9, I find on turning im pushing the handle bar and ball of footpeg instead of knee on tank for downforce and a compulsion to lift my but and swing drop (like uphill bmx pedaling when your tired) is this natural laziness, how do i correct my centre i know im going to drop slide if i continue or is this how older designed bikes are ? .

[@vr___46]

Nice video. I want to add that because it is a sport, it's all about training , you have to built some muscles that takes some time. Especially at legs, that are really destroyed after the end of a day. You can say it's like gym. You can't go and lift 100 kilos at once, even if you are capable.other wise you will just sit your butt at the seat and try to fight with bike. So in my opinion to get as much of satisfaction from this, you need to invest not only at good suspension and carbon wheels but to strengthen the body too is very important. Ps. Ohhh and timer is completly useless for new guys. What's the point of monitoring laps if: -you are 40 seconds slower than the record -your lap times vary 4-5 seconds because of mistakes and because of other riders at track (the newbie group is also very dangerous.. ) So do a favour to yourself whoever is new one and throw that lap timer away

I appreciate your content. Very useful and I highly recommend track riding for anyone who rides street. It helps focus on fundamentals described in this video. Sure there is a world of difference and I would argue more dangerous on street. I.E. bad motorists but if you can practice so that all you learn on track is muscle memory, It can make you a safer more competent rider. Which translates into more enjoyment. Great vid!

[@adambomb85]

So putting the knee and elbow on the ground do you just let it touch or do you actually put pressure down on the sliders?
