You don't need to edit because you know your stuff, and you're not doing an audition for a movie, you're teaching the real thing. We dig it!

[@kroyhull]

When a person truly understands something, they are able to explain it simply... it is so very obvious that you sir, fully understand what you are explaining. I notice this in all your videos. Thank you for another great video!!! "....I don't edit, I write and forget it,..."

[@pauliahonen4970]

As my math teacher used to say: "Gentlemen, you don't need to remember. Only understand."

[@thenarrator1921]

A bit unrelated but I think your videos without edits fit well for the lecture format. Makes it feel either like an actual lecture or conversation. These days info is even more spoonfed to viewers so it's nice to slow down but still get the important points over.

[@MotoJitsu]

that's the way I do my videos and always will :)

[@thomasblake7046]

Great video! Just started the Champ U online course. They just spoke about this. Game changer for cornering. Delayed apexes on the street are a must for unfamiliar roads and blind corners. You've taught me so much and I'm like a sponge now trying to learn everything I can. I've been riding over 30 years and back in the day all we had was books or articles in Cycle World explaining technique. These video's are so much better and you can just watch for hours, then take your bike out in the morning and practice, practice, practice. Took me 30 years but I can do your black belt drill with ease now. Thank you so much for all you do for us.

[@MotoJitsu]

Awesome!!!! ❤️👍🏼

[@brohofied2561]

it took me one single track day ridding at the edge of my then full skills to understand that my lines where nonexistent even after riding "aggressively" for a few years, "why don't you pick lines?" "slow down or you gonna crash" "lines, take care of yourself" those where the organizers words after that full throttle laps of mine, only then i did realized that even if didn't feel at serious risk going that fast, for more experienced people watching from the outside i was looking as if i was about to crash, so i did understand, my riding might suck and i can't see it, do i really understand entry? apex? exit?...then i decided to watch more videos, to see and see till i could understand why i was scold that day...and that brought me to your by then relatively new channel, and since then you got my subscription and full attention. Just wanted to tale a tale, sorry ^^' . This video reminded me of those times when i was trying to really understand line selection, that might be the reason, mmm, i think is time for me to show some appreciation dammit, i'm getting that program book V2, is just waiting for my next cart load on Amazon, it will be cool to have a bunch of your videos on paper for those parkinglot sessions. Thanks for the content :)

Fabulous advice! Starting turns early was the bane of my existence when I got back into riding after a 15 year hiatus. Now i wait till the road begins to turn and my apex is so much farther ahead. Good stuff.

Yes. Typically you will hear the same information repeated in different ways from instructors. MotoJitsu, however manages to bring NEW tidbits all the time, because HE is always learning himself! @@seanmoore4653

You are doing a huge social service with your videos.

It's sad that you are too far away from Atlanta for me to join your training program Thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@Asdfsaur]

The bad line selection example with the magnets was... Enlightening. For a moment I could picture myself flying off a cliff. I never really related the line selection with possibly going wide, but makes total sense. Thank you very much for the lecture!

So glad I came across Greg's videos, he has a great way of explaining things and it's enjoyable listening to him. Clear and concise and no waffling! If my school teachers were like him I would have understood a lot more back in the day. 👏👏👏

[@johnsomerville_]

@@MotoJitsu I have been away from bike's for the best part of 10 years. My last bike was a Triumph Daytona 955, although I enjoyed going out for a run it was a tiring experience. My wife bought me a Kawasaki Z750R last week for my 40th birthday (early present, birthday in October) but I was a bit nervous of going out on it straight away. I've watched a lot of your videos on low speed cornering and counter steering as this is what was worrying me. Well I'm glad I watched your videos, went out last night and practiced what you were teaching in your videos and everything just clicked into place. I started with low speed in a car park and then went out for 30 mins on the road, the experience was the best I've had on a bike. I'm not sure if it's the different riding style of the bike and learning from your videos but I'm no longer scared of turning as I understand how the bike will react. Thanks from Scotland.

[@paulcollingham9591]

I was a new rider at 50, now Im 55 and really struggle with corners, I watch alot of friends who seen to just glide round corners but I just dont seem to get the corners and jab at the brakes as you've explained, your explanation seems to make alot of sense so Im going to be try theses move, Many thx

[@wadeblake3451]

Certainly a tendency I have. I try to correct my line on every ride. Getting better. Turn point advice, where road begins to curve is something new for me. Like I said before, I always pick up some sort of nuance watching your videos. Thanks for ur insights Greg.

[@MotoJitsu]

welcome! :)

[@thomaslenzmeier183]

"Start turning where the road begins to curve" - thats simple enough to memorize and recall even when not in your chair watching videos but when outside riding. Thanks!

[@yarilich544]

That was helpful, thanks. Something I can test out when the traffic is not too heavy. Looks like I'm cornering prematurely out of fear of running wide which, ironically, increases the probability of me running wide.

[@WarriorsofShambala]

Ok, this saved my life as a newbie that was almost panicking on a tight turn in my local neighborhood. My thanks.

[@alanbrown5593]

Turning in early usually causes running wide upon exit. If the limit point is moving closer to you, your going to fast for the bend, if it is moving away from you, you're slow for the corner. If it is staying static, to you, then you're at the correct speed for that bend.

[@MotoJitsu]

that's one way to think about this....but this video is about line selection

Early apexes take your safety margin away. Later apexes give you more visibility and safety on the street. If you go on the track, early apexes will slow you down. Good video, MotoJ.

[@phoebeku8440]

[@davidjohnston1374]

Is this specifically demonstrated for a single direction race track or a public Mountain road? Do you have single one way Mountain roads in the US? I think what you've taught is even more so relevant and dangerous when you're dealing with 2 way mountain/winding roads when you can't see if on-coming traffic is coming around a blind bend, yet I've seen so many riders place their heads over a centre line and in danger of getting their head whacked as a vehicle appears around a corner and the rider is committed to the bend. So on a two way road, you probably will have a much shallower approach to the bend so as to stay wholly within your lane to keep safe.

[@waynekennoff2741]

This is the very question I had, through the whole video...

[@dannymiracle324]

Best explanation I've seen of this. I'm still new to riding but practice regularly (especially my braaaaaaakes) and I'll add this to my "something to work on" in future rides. Thanks for putting this together.

[@bosoxer4eva]

I have no clue what your background of work is, but you are a gifted educator/communicator. I've watched numerous videos of yours and I love how humble you are.. even discussing mistakes you have made and what you have learned. I've never rode before and just bought my first bike at 54 years old. Part of me thinks I might be crazy to do this at my age and I have some degree of fear, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just trying to soak up as much experience from others as I can. Besides taking a riding class, if you had to list the most important thing a new rider should do with zero experience, what would you say that is? Thank you for your videos, Sir.

[@binauppal876]

Love the bit about trying to keep a straight line thru the bend,,your demo,s make conplete sence,,not long passed my cbt but on the parking lots practising when i can,,but when i go hit the ride around the bloke,allways feel so much more confident and knowledgable,,got loads to learn but your videos are a must for any rider👍😀

[@MotoJitsu]

[@FadilKarim]

Great video! Love the use of the magnets to visualize the concept. One thing I'll add is that rather than turn-in once the road starts to bend, I prefer to stay to the outside until I can see the exit. This is particularly useful for those decreasing radius turns because you'll stay on the outside of the lane a lot longer since you naturally can't see the exit for a lot longer. Use your vision to determine when to apex and you'll never run wide. Only apex when you SEE the exit!

[@MotoJitsu]

I have other videos about more in depth line choices, this is just not turning in. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3nQnqShq99rfqc

[@rnat9246]

Such valuable information. Thanks so much.

[@Toasted_Stator]

You should teach Max Wrist about line selection. After watching his videos (on KZbin) and how many crashes he is involved in or witnesses... every crash could have been avoided by better line selection. Cutting in too early, leaning the bike more than necessary (as a result), and applying throttle at full lean in the corner. You know your stuff!!

[@beepbop6697]

8:28 that's what I do -- just hang out on the outside to maximize visibility on unfamiliar blind curves, with plenty of time/speed buffer to turn in when the corner exit is visible.

[@Kelz1136]

I learned about lines years ago as a turnworker at Sears Point for AFM motorcycle racing. Riders had very specific habits on a race track and knowing the natural tendencies helped with communication at race central. I ran race central once and I remember several times asking the corner communicator where the incident was (exit turn 7, etc.) and it made me nuts when they couldn't tell me. My thought last time I rode twisties was "I should be working on..." then find one thing on your channel I can focus on for next time.
