Here in Austria, Driving Schools teach this. Except the "hanging off" because it is not allowed to ride like this here. The cops stop you and you have to pay. This belongs to the race track. In Austria the first is called "legen" which means laying the bike and the second is "drücken" and that means, you push the bike and the body is almost upright. I really like these videos from you. You bring it easy to understand and explain what you do and what to do! Keep up your great work here on KZbin! Greetings from snowy Austria

[@TsvetanVR]

Okay, learned something new today. It appears that coming from 15 years of mountain biking, at the beginning I was riding supermoto style, same as with mtb. Seems it's not wrong and it really feels better for some corners, although much worse for others. Now I know that's not wrong on a motorcycle but good in some situations.

[@MotoJitsu]

If you think of right/wrong....you'll be confused a lot...a lot is personal preference. A lot if more about efficiency. Some things are the way they are, like emergency braking...there's a way to use the brakes to stop the fastest way possible and that's that...no debating. But things like body position all depends on so many variables. Plus your body position changes from the beginning, middle, and exit of any given corner.

Maybe do a step 5 when your throttle cable breaks wide open coming out of a corner on a straightaway? I'm just kidding but it's happened to me and it's not easy to make a corner without the motor or basically freewheeling through a turn. It's almost as bad as going through a corner with the clutch pulled in. It's a rare occasion but it's happened to me and it's rather terrifying.

[@kingofallworlds]

In what conditions would you use supermoto style over leaning off style (in the street -- offroad I'll prob still do dirt style)? I've tended to only use supermoto style with tight corners back when I had light bikes but now that I have an adventure bike, it doesn't feel natural anymore. Now I only do counterweighting with very low tight maneuvers.

[@MotoJitsu]

The corner dictates...if it's a tight slow corner, I tend to supermoto the bike, also if there's quick turns back to back.

[@renostubbs8504]

Awesome video man, question, what percentage of the front brakes/ rear brakes were you using both ways??? It was obvious that you used higher gears up hill vs down hill.

[@jerzygroclinek5066]

Question to Motojitsu: In supermoto style of taking corners - I should lean bike more than my Upper-body (like counter-balancing in case of low speed manouvers) or my upper-body angle should be the same as motorcycle ?

[@bhok1971]

The former

[@stuontwo677]

do you have any recommendations on not turning in too early? I am aware that I do this, and it's far more pronounced in right hand corners for me. (I live in the UK) and we drive on the left. I am defaintely weaker in righter turns than lefts, but regardless i turn in too early on both. I ride most weekends and practice as much as I can but it's almost as if I have a mental block. I'm wondering if I just need to slow it right down, and reprogram my brain to pick the line better so overwriting the bad habit ?

[@MotoJitsu]

I have 2 videos about line selection...but if you turn in too soon, you're limiting your vision and could have the chance of apexing early and going wide.

[@kw1213]

My non pro input would be that when you feel like you want to turn, instead move your body position first or simply stick a knee out and then turn. I personally have felt the same thing as you in the past regarding right handed turns, which is mostly just because it s a bit more awkward because your throttle is on the right side.

[@rugershooter5268]

You go where you look, you are looking at the inside of the curve before you get to the turn Pick the point on the road you want to start the turn, look there then when you get there turn your head to look inside the turn

[@glynhannaford7332]

I think Ruger Shooter has hit the nail on the head. What you are doing, reveals where you are looking. Here in UK, left hand bends are sometimes blind or partially obscured by walls, trees, fences hedges etc. Even where those things are absent, there's still a hard, stone kerb which we do not want to hit. All of these factors force us to concentrate on our own lane. Whereas on right hand bends we can see all of the road and often see much further ahead. My guess is that your eyes are straying into the opposite carriageway so that's where the bike wants to go. Plus, with the perception of more openness on right handers, you might subconsciously get on the gas a tad earlier than you do when negotiating a left hander.

[@MegaYosarian]

Thanks in advance for any comments.

[@MotoJitsu]

For faster turns, supermoto style will take away your ground clearance quickly and more lean is more risk...usually slower, tight turns (under 35mph or so) it may beneficial to do supermoto style but faster turns it's not too helpful.

FastEddie, you know a lot of bikes, so... Which one has the max leaning angle that allows one to touch the elbow to the ground? I ask this because: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3bVaXiiebWDn9E I know that one should always leave extra-leaning angle, just in case, but in your opinion what's the most lenient :) bike that one can buy? (I'm guessing lighter motocross bikes, with slicks for the road??) On a weight lighter bike there are more body position options to lean... in practice :) ?

[@MotoJitsu]

There's many variables but the lean angle achievable is dependent on the ground clearance it has. I know people who drag elbow on a supermoto bike. So it depends on how tall the rider is and of course, skill.

courses!! MotoJitsu.com has the ones I recommend :)

[@MyLolle]

MotoJitsu dear...we do not have that in austria. you have something called: fahrsicherheitstraining (training for secure ride or something like that), but no courses....:(

[@MotoJitsu]

Well book a trip here to San Diego and I'll teach you!

[@MyLolle]

MotoJitsu yeah right! really? really? 🤩 the problem is, i do not know how many days should i stay? should i book a motel for a week or for a day? i mean; when you see how “untalented” i am for number 3 “way of riding”, you will send me home. and i would have to pay for a motel in advance. 😁 ps: don’t say it twice. i might really fly to san diego and roooooockkk the roads of america (on your bike) 😁

[@MotoJitsu]

Come for a weekend and I'll just take you on the back of mine and show you things...just like I've been doing all these 1 on 1's :)

Great skill fast Eddy! You ride well ! You never used much counter steering ? You use your body weight well ..what kind of tires you use are they good quality for where you live are they allrounders good tyres is that the bike you use every day ? The BMW you have parked outside yr place ..has great crash bars etc protection 🤓

[@MotoJitsu]

You have to counter steer to get the bike to initially lean.

[@johncavar2914]

Indeed Fast Eddy incorporate both 👍🏼 Another great video

[@MotoJitsu]

Thanks

[@TheKamar2]

whats up with the low fps?

[@MotoJitsu]

No idea

[@rodneyalberta2020]

i guess more you lean less you have to counter steer or more you counter steer less you have to lean

[@MotoJitsu]

My body position has nothing to do with counter steering.

[@pedrojose280]

nice tips, thank you

[@MotoJitsu]

You’re welcome :)

[@tima7079]

were you speeding?

[@MotoJitsu]

At least 130 mph

[@curlytoponajourney5096]

Wow!

[@MotoJitsu]

👌🏼

[@stardog3825]

Why you would buy a Marc Marquez helmet I honestly don’t know😂

[@MotoJitsu]

For the same reason anyone buys anything, at that moment, I wanted it

[@rodneyalberta2020]

ok i thought they were 2 ways of steering

[@MotoJitsu]

counter steering always works at any speed.
