From the way he steered throughout the whole video I don't think he even knows what countersteering is. When I took my MSF class the majority of the class were there by court orders for speeding. This included both a few big bearded Harley riders and a few younger squids. A few of the older guys had been riding for 30+ years. When the instructor asked what the proper way to turn into a curve was, every "experienced" rider said the same thing, "you just use your body and lean over." Me being a complete Noob that day thought they were probably right. Instructor then had to spend 30 minutes at least drawing diagrams and **** to get them all to understand what countersteering was and how the gyroscopic effect of the two wheels spinning would make the bike lean over almost effortlessly and in the opposite direction you would expect. It's physics man! What was even better was I ended up being one of the best in the class and scored seconds highest on the riding test. It's a whole lot easier to learn how to properly ride from scratch than to have to try and change how you have been riding for the past 20 to 30 years. Couple of the squids who were amateur drag racers at the track, dropped their bikes on their sides while we were learning the slow figure 8 maneuvers. Their cockyness quickly faded after I, someone who had never ridden anything other than a dirt bike a couple times, showed them up. Twas a great feeling that day
