Your perspective on trail braking would very insightful!

[@CJKBuildingServices]

I think it’s amazing that a 6 times (greatest ever)WSBK champion takes the time to do these videos to help people. I think it shows what a genuine down to earth person JR is 😎

[@beruseruku2975]

We need “don’t be a goon” merch 😂

[@36moto]

T shirt , " Dont be a Goon*, I'll buy one now...

[@oddvaruglumlland3242]

Chasing the highest apex speed is my biggest flaw as a beginner. Thanks for the reminder that the risk is higher and takes focus from the other aspect that is needed to be trained first.

[@Mcfc2Rich]

That R1 is beautiful. The tip on steering with your feet has helped so much. Watching the rest of the vid out on a ride now

[@jrfx861]

Wow Jonathan, I haven't seen content this good since the Keith Code twist of the wrist DVD. Thx man.

[@jgsimons]

I have been club racing three years and have a fully built ‘22 R1. I have started to hit my pinnacle in performance and times so would be interested in recommended training and tactics for continuing to develop. I’m mid pack for most races so I know there is room for improvement.

How or where did you get a character of your family on your airbag chest area?

[@tonyb1184]

Im not a leaning off the bike rider i use counter steering is this an effective way or am i impeding myself?

[@kyle_mcc1813]

We have James Whitham track days. Will we get JR track days in the future?

[@MichaelIrons-cf1lq]

thanks for your clear and simple narration.

[@CarloPiana]

Basic, but useful advice for those who start riding, from a multiple world champion. Invaluable. I would have added: "take a full riding course and repeat it after a while". It's incredible the amount of riding mistakes one sees on the track. That includes myself. Get yourself filmed from various angles. You certainly do things that you don't realize. I mean, I do.

[@andrewrobinson1116]

"Become friends with your bike". Wise words. My bike's my best buddie. Love it more than I should. Sad but true!

[@alanzappa266]

Johnny please cover vision 👀 and reference points. How do you visually navigate your way around the track. Also a few tips on how to learn a new track from a six time world champion 💪🏽

[@plu5five]

Thx for the tips JR!!!!!! I think if you could do a video on what aftermarket products are beneficial and which ones are not episode itd be Great! I Love watching you ride champ, Goodluck this Season!!!!!+5!

[@ebr-fan1117]

Great video series JR! Something most of us track day folks need to learn and understand is trail braking at the beginning of the lean, how to judge beginning and ending pressures and times, confidence, feel, speed, etc. A show dedicated to whatever insights and advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

[@Armputator]

Awesome video! Thank you! Gonna have to learn all by heart before my first private track day

[@amaximus5753]

How good is this. I'm about to do a track day and this pops up. Thank you Jonathan Rea. You answered a question I have had for a while about the pressure applied to the inside or outside foot pegs during cornering, and using the balls of your feet, thanks for confirming this.

[@joshkerby-qd4mq]

Rea, thank you for these videos. It helps get riders more motivated to get on track versus riding crazy on the streets. Long time fan of yours
