Great advice! Im giving myself carpal tunnel from tensing up so much.

Squeezing the tank is one of the most important things to do for Gymkhana, IMO. It allows you to relax your upper body a lot and it does wonders for the handling of the motorcycle. Everything becomes so much easier when you can relax your upper body. Whenever I am having handling issues with my motorcycle, 9/10 times it's because I am too tense in my arms and not gripping enough with my knees.

Can you squeeze the big tank of the R1200GSA effectively?
@LexcoMotoGymkhana3 жыл бұрын
It's a little tougher with larger gas tanks but yes, you can still squeeze :)

How can I do this on a scooter, which has no tank but only floor?
@LexcoMotoGymkhana5 жыл бұрын
Naveen. Thanks for the questions; It's a good one. I won't pretend to be an expert on scooter riding but my advice would be to watch lots of videos of gymkhana riders on scooters. I know there aren't many but I have seen some. I saw a video recently of a good gymkhana rider on a scooter. Instead of anchoring himself to the bike with the knees, he seemed to be hanging on with his feet and heels. I think it's more difficult to do it that way (relative to a motorcycle with a gas tank) but on a scooter your options are a little more limited. Check out the video and let me know what you think.

I don't know if it's common or generally against the rules, but could you just weld a vertical bar into the scooter and bolt some pads on to it, so you have something to squeeze with your knees? Worth a shot if you really wanna push the envelope since that video of the guy squeezing with this feet looked like it was very fatiguing.
