[Full English CC] What our lower body should do- Moto Gymkhana, JAPAN - Rank B rider's explanation

[@kimonoracing]

Thank you for your watiching Kimono Racing always. Katsuzo-san spent his childhood in Ishikawa Prefecture, which was hit by the recent earthquakes. We would like to donate the proceeds from this video to the affected areas. Thank you to everyone who heard about our safety.

Earthquake?! What bad news. Thank you for taking the time to make videos. I can't wait to try this technique. I also have the large format stompgrip it helps a lot

[@kimonoracing]

@@yacinekhaye7716 Thank you. We had a huge one on January 1. Thanks God, my partner, I and my family are OK. I am looking forward to hearing if this technique works on you!😍

[@enhinyerorider5914]

@@kimonoracing your video reminded me of another technique I learned early on and would be nice if you could do a video for the others still learning. It might be basic for us but how to recover from a deep lean while on max steering would be a good topic for your next video. I think this is one of the big topic as a beginner to learn and you and your partner are very good with your videos. After learning the techniques on max steering while leaned recovery it makes doing deep leans on max steering less scarier and makes tight turning and rotation easier to do. I remember as beginners we are taught to steer to the lean to straighten out the bike and counter steer to deepen the lean. But if we are already at max steering we can only straighten the bike using throttle, and brake to deepen the lean. A demo video and some discussion would help your other subscribers 🙃. I could also point to your videos for those asking me hehe.😁

[@enhinyerorider5914]

News about the earthquake are just reaching our local news. Take care over there.

[@TOPSPEED_T]

I'd like to say firstly, thank you for your videos they mean a lot.Secondly, I am learning amples times when I watch these videos, and try to encorporate it on the riding life. We don't have a Gymkhana like in Japan, so my biggest gamble is to practice what I learned over KZbin through your channel. Thank you.

[@kimonoracing]

You are so welcome! We believe Moto Gymkhana's techniques are worth learning for all riders in the world for their own safety riding lives!!🥰

ありがとう！ 興味深い情報！ これは試してみないといけない

[@enhinyerorider5914]

Very good video and reminded me when I was starting out (reminded me of my thighs getting cramps hehe). Instead of the way you showed it, I practiced the knee movement by alternating hard acceleration and hard braking (recommended by Honda instructors). Head and shoulders should be stable during transitions from brake to acceleration and vice versa. This also practices less weight on the handle bars for better, smooth and finer control. Advanced level is using the techniques you have shown while bike is in full lean (rank A riders can do it so smooth and easily). Again very nice video! Agree that people focus to much on the handlebars and sometimes on the footpegs also when I find that tank control (for rider stability) is more important to have the hands and feet focused on the other controls. Heck Sakuta-san shifts so many times while leaned on his KSR!

[@kimonoracing]

Thank you so much for sharing the detailed info!!!! Your insights are much more deeper than us!😄

Thank you for your request! That sounds interesting. Do you think Moto Gymkhana riders' head movements are distinctive?

[@quentinl7598]

@@kimonoracing kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6vMnn2Lha5gqNksi=Mx6keRb0LOU0Ke0H For example in this video at 1:28 during the rotations to the right. The rider does multiple small head turns to the left. Not all riders do it and the ones that do only do it for 270+ rotations (or so it appears). I am curious to know how it helps?

Sometimes I ride in the canyons and steer with only my knees…then with just hip shifts…then with peg pressure. This is good info, but I had to slow it way down to understand the fast Japanese. Thank you.

Познавательные видео! Хорошая информация! Привет из России!

[@kimonoracing]

спасибо😍

[@nastrimarcello]

Apologies, but your posture was correct in your example. At low speeds and small turning radius, the bike falls if you lean to the same side as the bike. The counter lean was necessary. Edit: Apologies again, but you're wrong. In his example his upper body is also counter-leaning, which is the correct posture when turning at such small radius and low speeds. Edit2: It's just a physics problem. If you draw the bike mid corner and the forces you'll understand that counter-leaning creates a negative moment which in turn allows for the bike to lean even more towards the corner and thus reduce the turning radius...
