Watching the super bikes round turns at, seemingly impossible angles always baffled me, until now. I get it. Thanks!

[@saisr1]

I don't understand how this video doesn't have more views. That is the best demonstration of a riding concept in have ever seen.

[@johnmadsen37]

saisr1 because the demonstration with the tire is unrealistic angles. Also, other popular videos show practical application. Lecture helps, but just a little..

@@barryweaver8833 hes referring to the topic of the video about not applying aggressive brake behavior to your bike, but be more linear in brake control, and using the first 1% of your braking power as opposed grabbing 10% right off the bat; if you actually listened and watched the video you would have understood this topic, but like many squids, i guarantee you're the 1 dude who believes he is a god, and the almighty chicken strip king ehh?

This is good advice no matter how long you've been riding. People equate riding time with skills, it's simply not true. A guy that's riding wrong for 60 years is still riding wrong.

[@jimmyb4982]

@@eclark53520 Yep. Experience and competence do no have a linear relationship.

[@charleshendrix232]

I’m a good example. Riding 53!years, but virtually zero instruction and practice on how to do it correctly for most of that time. Some things I learned by natural selection I suppose. Just spending time on the bike will teach you some things. But some I learned by crashing. Multiple times. 50 plus on the dirt and 3 on the road. In fact, I lost a friend at age 13 due to a motorcycle accident. He was also untrained. I rode on street bikes like I rode on a dirt track. All wrong. Frankly I should not have been given a street License without more formal instruction. So I quit riding for awhile and then decided to return but to study it this time. Of course, I am a better rider at 62 than I ever was at 25 or at 16 when I raced motocross in the 70s. But I know next to nothing because I didn’t know how much there was to learn and should have started way sooner. Fathers should not let kids ride without taking courses and practicing.

[@intergalacticbasketballdro7186]

@@eclark53520 BS ! Anyony who rides for 60 years would out ride a noob. Anyone who rides for 60 years, and hasn't had a debilitating accident is a Pro Rider who deserves credit from noobs who think that they are greatness. They should kiss his boots, and ask for riding tips !

"Good riders ride on more rubber..." Words to live by!

[@kendallberg1916]

I was racing with WSMC when I met Nick, almost 25 years ago. He took the time to explain this theory as we ate at a little pizza joint in Upland CA. I put his words into practice and guess what...stopped crashing, saved money and found 2-3 seconds per lap at big willow.Thanks Nick!

[@sambyf2445]

Load. Load. Load. Never thought about the tyre in that way. Priceless advice.

[@RobertMorgan]

It didn't make sense to me the front brake has 70% of stopping force, UNTIL I remembered oh yeah, bikes work like cars too, when you brake all your weight transfers forward and loads the front end, so now it has all the traction TO stop, so you start stopping there. The rear has little to no traction because all the weight is effectively off it transfered forward...once the weight balances you can rear brake. That was a key realization moment for me as someone who's yet to ever ride.

[@mark3863]

At long last an understandable explanation of trail braking, Thank you for a great video. “Its difficult but simple” 😄

[@fayenwolf]

I'm a new rider, and I've just gotten comfortable with my understanding of counter-steering, even practicing it one-handed on my MT-03. Trail-braking is one of those concepts I'm trying to wrap my head around, and I have the sneaking suspicion that like counter-steering, trail-braking sounds more complicated than it actually is in execution. Lol!

[@mark3863]

It becomes second nature , I don’t even think about it until I’m letting off the brake a realised I was trail braking.

[@38Fanda]

@@fayenwolf my understanding: trail braking = more grip on front = better corner survivability

[@JoshuaClarked]

God damn, when he actually demonstrates grabbing 30 points at a lean angle vs loading that tire....mind fkn blown. What a brilliant way to demonstrate the concept.

[@motolifehd9323]

I worked alongside Nick for four years @ LVMS. I have nothing but respect for him. He helped me grow as a rider, tech & person. I first hand watched him transform newbs to pro racers in that time to smoother, safer and ultimately faster riders. Nick is a great teacher and removes confusion of bad habits. Installing proper techniques and I would bet the bank he has saved lives due to his passion, dedication to two wheeled enthusiasts. Thanks nick! For that moment in time.. our lives were aligned & I will truly cherish those years spent working with ya @ F- school.

[@werners5191]

I met Nick in the late 80's when.he was with Motorcyclist magazine, and talked with him at Willow Springs and at a motorcycle show he MC'd, He was always a friendly gentleman, and it was so great to talk with him. Saw him do some blistering laps as Willow on a TZ 250. No one could touch him. I applied his method of The Pace on the twisties. Nick if you are reading this, thanks for being such a cool guy.

The visual demonstration of loading the tire smoothly at lean was the best I've seen. Showing it with only the tire makes it very clear.

[@stephonfrazier5434]

Thanks for the awesome video YCRS and Nick Ienatsch. I remember my first introduction to Nick Ienatsch. It was a televised GP race I watched and he just talked, talked and talked (LOL) about the racing and the riders, explaining the techniques the riders were using to race those beautiful and amazing machines. It was definitely a relief to hear somebody finally explain what was happening with a massive amount of knowledge and enthusiasm. It was exactly what I was asking for since most of the usual commentators weren't motorcycle riders/racers and really only provided news. I wanted to know how rider did what they did because I wanted to do what they were doing too. From that day on I felt I had a better understanding of what motorcycle racing was about and it really helped me break through a knowledge barrier I had as a young kid who would occasionally catch a race on TV. And it gave me the confidence that maybe I could ride/race motorcycles one day. Thanks Nick. Love your book by the way.

[@johnston7744]

Yeah him and barry sheen when he was a commentator. Can't place to many now that know how to explain a race as it's happening.

[@raynic1173]

Yup, this is a huge problem today, you have commentators that talk so much smack when they could be educating and entertaining their views.

[@tylerurian]

This video is a masterclass. Not only in the proper application of the brakes and throttle into, out of, and during turns But in instruction, teaching, and thinking using mental models. Well done 👏👏

[@maniLNW]

Nick is a fantastic teacher. I have attended his Champ Street program (on a cruiser no less) and now intend to attend the Champ Day on my sport bike. His calm teaching style and immense grasp of the subject make him an ideal guide for new and experienced riders alike. I had read about trail braking and threshold braking but watching him and practicing with him and his coaching staff made it all click and I could finally ride confidently in the mountains (I don't really ride around town). I strongly recommend checking his web site and signing up for one of the 3 types of courses. The guy knows his stuff.
