On Moto Control channel you will find videos about motorcycles, motorcycle riding techniques, tips & tricks and online motorcycle training for beginner and advanced riders!
A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

Excellent 👍

[@jerzygroclinek5066]

Very informative video. I have a question: When using the supermoto-style cornering technique,l - do we also use the counterweight technique, ie we lean the motorcycle more than the body? Why and when is the supermoto technique used when cornering?

There are already videos about that! Here is about clutch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWSZfpqpi9h7qaM about rear brake: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2GZi32jZbd9mKc&ab_channel=MotoControl kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJe4cmuhq5alfdU

Sorry, I am new to your channel. I will be back-logging your videos. You can ignore my comments on old videos. I will not be offended.

[@manuelribeiro3152]

Hi, why is it so hard to do a full lock U turn ?

[@MotoControlEn]

Hi! Got just the video you need: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH3UqoFrrt5pf5o

[@gksalf10]

Mainly because you cannot countersteer to stand up(=reduce lean angle), since the handlebar is locked. All riders instinctively use the principle of countersteer when they feel like falling down. But full-lock turn prevents us to do so.

[@distancejunkiemonkey4491]

It’s hard until u get control over the clutch friction zone, get your head and eyes around, you should see the tail of the bike, and keep your eyes on the horizon , then it’s easy. Regarding the clutch, pull it in to get the bike to fall in and let it out to stand the bike up, locked turns require very little clutch lever movement to achieve proper control. And remember your not “balancing “ the bike , the power to the rear tire is
