I saw an IG post you did a while back, responding to a guy asking for drills, and you said "Easy. The Four Sets." Just found this video after searching again and it's great to have you expand upon it a bit! I'll definitely be finding a place to make a little turn track to practice these sets every so often. Such a simple drill, but I can definitely see the value!

Would love a training video on rear braking. I have a tendency to use all front because I’m so uncomfortable trying to get my foot to my rear pedal. I focus so hard on keeping legs tight to the bike that when it comes time to brake, my feet stay frozen lol.

@RobNaughton547 ай бұрын
You can up it a level standing with one hand off while riding a basic track. I also noticed a few years ago after years of trying to explain the proper body position to riders was this. I was simply riding down my dirt road standing up when I took my left hand off to adjust my goggles, I noticed (especially while rolling the throttle on and off) that the position my body would have to move to when not holding on, is for the most part the correct position. Basically keeping the g forces neutral with body position. Roll the throttle on, head has to move over or in front of the bars. Roll it off and your head must move back. Interestingly enough, I find myself focusing more on technique and proper body position now as a 50-year-old A rider than I did in my pro days.
