Please make a video about body position in a turn and how the motorcycle turns on flat turns and hard turns.

[@user-lv3py5vm6i]

wow probably the best, detailed video that I found on the subject. I was thinking of creating a small seat bump to help and that led to this video. I wasn't sure where to put it on the seat. Luckily I ride Yamaha so perfect video!

[@CoachJames749]

Glad it was helpful!

[@seantibbey9368]

Another great instructional video has to be one the best Verry detailed step by step would love to see more of these

Smooooth! Countless good tips there James and a few more side shots which really help. The detail is outstanding, thanks.

It needs way more angles at all times to envision your positions in a spatial manner

[@cameronboswell7888]

Thoroughly enjoying this series. Feeling like I’m learning and it’s sticking 👍

[@CoachJames749]

Appreciate it!

[@cameronhall4]

As a beginner, I have felt SO unstable in my upper body and frustrated because I didn’t know how to fix it. I’m super excited to use these tips! One suggestion: please do videos on how you access your foot controls while maintaining the proper position. Also, shifting for beginners in a way that’s best for the bike as well as riding performance would be awesome!

[@AlexCage19]

The point about stucking in between standing and sitting position is so true for me. I often find myself in that and its very out of control position when whole body is tense. Graat video as always. Thanks!

[@CoachJames749]

You’re welcome! Riding in the “in between” is a very common problem

[@aliennetwork08]

This was seriously great thanks for posting ! A lot of detail and easy to understand

[@CoachJames749]

[@CoachJames749]

Absolutely! I will be creating a general setup video some point soon!

[@stephenfox728]

Great video! I’m new to this and your last video and this one really give me something to work on.

[@CoachJames749]

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it!

[@expandingedge7562]

Good tips bro

[@jaime7890]

Thanks for the video. I've started to reinforce my attack position with these tips. I still need to get used to having my knees locked in, as I find difficult to manuever the bike on single track

[@CoachJames749]

Awesome! I find that keeping the knees locked in is easier if you really manage your feet, as they are the foundation. Hope that helps! Thank you for watching.

[@motocrosszhang8343]

I`am so love you Coach James!Thank you！I would love to join your training, but I'm from the other side of the globe and I'm 43 years old and I've been riding 500 hours amateur for five years.

[@cooganbeggs4942]

I think i’m getting stuck in that in-between position you mentioned! Another excellent video coach …thanks. I will never get sick of geeking out on technique. I just wish i knew about some of this stuff sooner. what about a video on breaking bad habits? There’s a bit more too it than just knowing the correct way …I’m really struggling with undoing years of bad form 🤦‍♂️

[@CoachJames749]

That’d be a really good topic to discuss! I will do my best!

[@jamescampbell4334]

Moving the levers in actually allows for easier one finger actuation/modulation. This helps ADV riders deal with prolonged technical (slow) riding. I'm riding a DesertX now.

[@CoachJames749]

Easier if your hands are correct yes!

[@siggismalls9558]

Loving your explanations Coach! I’m a total newbie to riding offroad and your videos help getting started (riding my Africa Twin😂). Could you do a Video of „how to actually ride off-road“? I mean like what to do and when with all the stuff like body position while cornering, weight transition etc. Cheers from Germany

[@CoachJames749]

I’ll add it to the queue for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@Slolife_supra]

❤❤❤

[@r28959]

great video. One question do you ride with one finger on the clutch and front brake all the time ?

[@CoachJames749]

I try to! Under certain situations I catch myself with my finger coming off of the control for a second, but I really try to always have them there.

[@enduroszopy3749]

what can i practice on the track to learn to keep my knees back while standing on the bike? I find myself leaning them forward before landings or when i just jump. do i just slow down and focus on the knees or do something else?

[@CoachJames749]

Focus on your feet first! They will set the foundation for the knees to fall in place. Make sure your on the balls of your feet, and that the weight is in your heels, and the knees will almost naturally just fall into place where they belong.

[@enduroszopy3749]

Thank you! @@CoachJames749

[@andrewbell1090]

What is your position riding in deep sand ? I was taught to sit back on the seat to weight the back tire What are your thoughts?

[@CoachJames749]

Generally speaking, I’m riding with a bit more bend in the knees, so that my pelvis shifts back a bit to weight the rear end.

It would be better if you will put little bit videos from the track to this video

Going forward I definitely will! Thanks for your input, as we just want to keep making these better.

[@andrewwilson9130]

why did you ditch AJ???

[@CoachJames749]

There were a multiple reasons. All of which I really don’t think I can place in my KZbin comment section. I do apologize on lack of transparency, but I just don’t really know how to dive into that. I do hope you enjoyed the video man 👍🏻 thank you for watching.
