He looks so comfortable doing that!

choneofakind · September 22nd, 2011, 04:27 PM

He's riding it like it's a supermoto. I wish I had skills like that

Jono · September 22nd, 2011, 04:35 PM

Crriiissss · September 22nd, 2011, 05:39 PM

OddlyOrdinary · September 22nd, 2011, 09:42 PM

Starting seeing that and his jealous friends my start throwing blue turtle shells at him!

TFKninja · September 22nd, 2011, 10:10 PM

Drifting on a bike is enough to make ya sphincter wink.

Cazper · September 22nd, 2011, 10:32 PM

I'm sure he could use that to his advantage in races... I know if I saw someone do that in front of me I'd back off thinking he was about to loose it

leed · September 22nd, 2011, 10:55 PM

To my understanding, it's actually regular practice in races. It allows the rider to straighten up earlier, heat up his tires more, and as soon as it bites he can pin it on the throttle.

akima · September 23rd, 2011, 01:07 AM

There's a bit where he looks like he is going to slide off the track. In response you can see him stand up and really kick the tail out to get a tighter turn in. Impressive stuff!

I was impressed with an overtake he did, too: All the other riders in the turn were sticking to the road and getting a good lean. Meanwhile he's on the outside of the turn sliding past them all.

'This

Looked like regular race riding. Or someone who is good at tracking.

I didn't see anything that looked like supermoto riding.

Wasn't that good of a slide video example either.

Lots of track time.. and race school. You can do it too maybe.

Kevin2109 · September 23rd, 2011, 10:56 AM

What a GSXR Squid

Mad props to that guy, I wish I could do that!

alex.s · September 23rd, 2011, 10:59 AM

guy looks like a speedway flat tracker... i wonder if he uses brakes?

ninja250 · September 23rd, 2011, 11:19 AM

I was just learning somewhere about how they can get the rear wheel out and use it to slow the bike down for corners or something. It kinda slides when they do this.

I think I see the guy do this once or twice in the video when he flies across the lane off the throttle and his tire slides... in preparation for the next turn?

I don't know if it's the same idea or not.

Looks interesting though.

csmith12 · September 23rd, 2011, 11:50 AM

Looks like he can "step out" the rear many ways. brakes, spinning it up and have a great time doing it. And it does look like he uses it for pass blocking or was he just fooling around. Hard to tell.

jamesio · September 23rd, 2011, 12:01 PM

that was awesome

Yeah if you use the back brake in addition to downshifting (just right I might add), the back wheel will move slower than the front, without locking up and cause the back to step out a little to help setup the turn faster and allowing the rider to brake later. There's a thread on here somewhere that has videos of Rossi doing it and other riding techniques.

That's unreal! I'm still trying to understand why counter steering works, and now you throw this into the mix. Pff - maybe I'll stop trying to understand and just accept that bikes are magical artefacts with inexplicable properties that probably work because of their interaction with fairy dust.

ninja250 · September 23rd, 2011, 02:43 PM

I felt it happen a few times. That's when I learned not to shift mid corner if at all possible because I don't know how to control that type of slide yet.

That one can buck you if you don't do it right, real easy.

+10000000

I tried this about 50 or so times on my ninja and after nearly highsiding at least 15 of those times, I felt it better to learn this skill in the dirt first.

Does that song not annoy the hell out of everyone else? God..... Makes me insane.
