Nice video 👍🏻 and a 10/10 on the prononciation 🤣 Just finished the edit for a new post “10 tips on How to ride like a Pro”. Your content is really interesting congrats.

I am riding a 50cc scooter and foot positioning made a lot difference when cornering

This channel is so underrated, it is the “engineering explained” of motorcycle dynamics. Love from India.

3:45 This slowmo WAS SICK

Your motorcycle stuff explained series are great!!! I look forward to more of these. They really answer so many questions for me and are so well explained. Thank you!

Thanks to the Riding School of Greece, trick No2 saved my life in a road trip in Italy, Summer 2019. I was in an open wide turn (over 100km/h) when a bag that I had tied on the back-sit of my bike fell and got stucked between my chain and my wheel. The bike responded like if I suddenly pressed the rear brake but without ABS. It all of a sudden lifted its self and started drawing "snakes" with the rear tyre. The only thing that instantly remembered was my training. "Let the bike stabilize itself and keep your eyes to the point you want to go". And I did. I stayed calm. I focused my eyes in the borderline so that I was less likely hit by a car either from my line or the other line of the road and literally hold the handle bar with just two of my fingers, smoothly. After just a few seconds the bike stabilized itself and I started braking gently. I was safe. In the middle of the borderline but safe. It needs tons of nerve to go against your nature and listen to the voice of the instructors in your head. The instict says "Do something, save the bike, save yourself". The truth is "Let it wobble". Great video as always Mike.

Missing MotoGP so much right now! God forbid this virus get's any worse. That said, thanks a lot for providing quality quartatine content!

3:45 is the sexiest thing I've ever seen

This stuff is so cool man, great video. Thanks for uploading and putting in the time for this entertainment. I really want to get some lessons on the track.

What's with this overload of content!? I'm loving it! Thank you so much Mike! And Sylvain Guintoli oh my. You're just constantly fueling my passion for motorcycle dynamics!

I’m a casual fan/rider who maybe makes it to the track 10 times a year and I find all of these videos amazing. Keep it up Mike!

I love your content very much explaining how motogp riders do what they do. I've been following and watching all your videos from Tyre traction to motorcycle geometry. Am a motorcycle addict with no motorcycle

These slow motion shots have my mind blow it’s so beautiful!

Thanks for all your time, i am an amateur racer and love techincal explination, you do it good, good voice, no clutter, great clips. Have a good day.

The reason I keep coming back to this channel is the way you explain it with the physics involved which makes it so simple to understand

Subscribed a while ago, not watched many of your videos till today. Wow, what great content! Learning so much, thanks!

I found the gearing differences based on tyre contact really interesting, it makes so much sense just had never thought about it before.

Finally my questions are answered!! Phew! Thanks for the clear explanations.

The motocross style leg forward on corners is to move your center of mass forward to get front wheel grip in the corners. You show it once at the end on the dual sport bikes really clearly. It's not quite the same thing as what they are doing on the GP bikes since you corner differently. Your upper body is more upright on an MX bike so the leg really helps get some bite on the front tire.

So basically I've accidentally been acting like a MotoGP rider by sitting up straight when I'm going to be braking hard

That's a really great explanation and right to the point. The clips you have chosen are really good as well. Waiting for the MotoGP season. Cheers :)

Interesting to listen and watch. Keep up the good work 💪 thank you, Mike!

Quality content. Technically accurate, spot on with the physics...and explained beautifully. Reminds me of things I know plus new insight and questions. 👍🙏 Liked and subbed. Looking forward to more.

I tried doing a fast lap around my neighborhood and now I'm rewatching this from the E.R

again excellent content ...good work Mike..makes one really appreciate the skill top riders have worked on through practice and commitment.. like all masters of one's craft whatever it is..thank you and stay healthy & well during these,challenging times ...having your videos to watch while being house bound more or less is far better than watching the news and the doom & gloom they present day in and day out...I am going to get out for a ride today...a little medicine for the soul.. have a good day

A few corrections/additions worth including imo 1. Bikes aren't necessarily limited to 1G in braking. The tendency of toppling is based on the angle between the line connecting the contact patch and cg, and ground. That's why despite having harder compound tyres, cruisers stop quicker than supersports. 5. While hanging off with the bike a little less leaned may not improve corner speed in an ideal world, it helps the suspension do its job. Otherwise, when leaned, the chassis must absorb the bumps partially by flexing, and they are lots stiffer than suspensions, the reason of crashes due to smallest of bumps at high lean angles.

Hi there Mike, that was really interesting to watch, thank you for your great video 's & talks,behind the skills these riders have thank you friend 🙂🙂🙂

Thanks for taking your time and tell about this things to us

I love your content very much... speaking of me, I am an automotive enthusiast, I am interested in driving/riding/operating more, than anything related to automobiles (that's why I don't like autonomous cars LOL!!!)I don't even bother about the specs of a vehicle at first when I gets into one... what bothers me the most is, how is it to drive like, or how well can I drive it ..!!! after that only I'll get into other things...... I think there is only a few channels talking about that, and you explain the dynamics and riding techniques of motorcycles very well.... thank you...keep going...!!!

0:37 This is assuming that the motorcycle and rider's combined center of gravity is at a 45° angle from the front tyre's contact patch. The higher that angle, the lower braking force is possible before the rear wheel comes off the ground.

1st vid I‘ve watched learned more than in driving school cheers from Germany

Damn. I learned so much in this video that i had to sub. Great content man 👍

Hi man, there’s also traction control that helps not going on wheelie while maintaining maximum acceleration that enables you to push beyond that one G, like the computers lower the power to a level that we can’t feel so that we get max accel and traction force. It calculates the spinning speed of both wheels like multiple times every ms. Same with stoppies, there’s like an inertial command unit that controls the force of braking so you can get the max force braking output without flipping over the bike. Also rear braking shifts some weight on the bike. Personally I always initiate emergency braking by gradually applying force on the rear brake then the front. Getting upright is like something we learn when going downhill on a mtb as kids, if not then we have a nice scar on our chin lol. These techniques + the electronic gives like a looooot of gain in performance when combined. Once a gp rider got his traction control cut off by the disks of someone in his tail, exiting the corner he goes full gas : the bike launched itself into a backflip at least 1meter and a half in the air.

Wow, I had no idea the max grip was during slippage. As a person who only Sim races in cars, the idea of gaining speed while basically scrubbing is crazy. Awesome.

Great video; just subbed. The slow motion really shows the skill and commitment of these riders.

This video needs more views! Thank you 🙏 this helped me improve my riding.

The violin goes so well with the intro.

Another one: Jorge Lorenzo noticed when he saw the telemetry of Valentino, was that he starts to press the rear brake before cutting the gas, to load the rear suspension and consequently brake harder! Greetings from Argentina, your channel is great!!!

Man, this was awesome. So much great info verified by video. Thanks a million and GREAT WORK!

Im learnin alot from this channel...thanks n good work

Car guy here, this is really interesting. The drifting in cornering reminds me of rwd sports car dynamics.

THANK YOU BRO NOW I CAN GET BACK TO MY GAME THIS HELPS ME IUT ALOT 😂

Informative 🤟🏾😱😁

This is a great video, it gives me legitimate reasons to all the things I did that subconsciously felt right. Awesome content.

2:13 watch that in 0.5 speed the way his head jerks when it hits the ground is terrifying

You can only brake at 1g if the center of mass is at a 45 degree angle of the front contact patch, because the braking force is equal to gravity then the total angle of forces equals 45 degrees. Many vehicles can brake at higher than 1g without using wind resistance due to center of mass being lower and further back keeping them below the line of the total direction of force starting from the front contact patch (the angle of the ground and center of mass is less than 45 degrees at the front tire patch). The wobble also has nothing to do with rake, and trail doesn't technically cause it but will amplify it and make it happen easier. Any bike, even with no rake, or reverse rake will wobble when the front wheel comes out of line from the rear wheel's path.

Excellent video quality. Perhaps the best on KZfaq. Cheers, Kirb.

Very well explained ! thanks for this video!

I found a lot of what you are showing is illustrated in a couple of 30 year old biking books called Twist of the wrist. Beat thing I’ve read that really made me faster and a must for any budding racers

More proof that professional athletes are actually pretty damn smart... Very well done video!

thank you for this nice video! Ride safe bud

Damn, KZfaq recommendations finally showing me some awesome stuff, great video Mike!

2:31 didnt know valteri bottas drove a bike?

I used to stick my leg out when I'd race my friends on my push bike about 15 years ago. Ahead of the curve, me. I used to think it helped me balance and move the bike better. I was right.

This really nice video dude 👍

Thank you so much for the spanish subtitles!

Hey Mike, love your content! Did you go to school for engineering? Your explanations are so good!

I did not know that leaving the bike Wobbling was a good idea. Thank you for your work !

Extraordinary details you gave to practice in so many ways...thankyou... I'm almost 40 years driving in Chennai India and we have a bad roads with no lanes as well as poor traffic mannesmann...my passion is riding only and we have to do what we got only...let see how I going to maintain the same level of a driving & learning to upgrade next level... Thankyou Jagadeesh e

Wow... Really good content! The signs of a good product. Learned a few things today and refreshed a couple more. Liked the music at the end, reminds me of this Canadian guy who also have pretty good music on his videos.

awesome video. i must admit, your the only person ive ever heard pronouncing the p in pneumatic LOL

3:44 Nice flames btw

Thks for sharing mate.

This video blew my mind! Thanks!

Another part for #9 - If you watch pro riders come out of a corner, many times you will see them finish the corner then directly go to the other side of the track, basically extending the turn; this is to keep the bike on the smaller part of the wheel longer while accelerating so they can apply more power while keeping the front on the ground.

Wow, the whole leg dangle thing I've done that for years on bicycles, gives me more control

Great video as always. 🤙🏽

Very informative video. The tip that might end up being the most useful for me on the short term is the one about twisting the outside foot too increase body control over the bike.

Mike you need to watch Syvain Guintoli latest video on leg dangle, you can compare that video with your previous video on the subject.

“but what are they actually doing, and why?” “here are 10 things...... to go faster” you already gave the answer

Amazing science of serious motorcycle racing & riding explained. Thanks.

Had no idea. Outstanding. Thanks

I learned a few tips thru my grandad as hes done this sort of stuff decades ago rip grandad 🙏👍

i do a bit of trackriding ( check my vids) and although im not very talented i think almost everything you explained comes natural for any rider as he moves up slowly in pace

In mountain bike racing we do tend to move or bodies to suit how much we are braking or do something similar with our outside foot while cornering too . Great video

This is a very detailed video and educational one at that, you just gained a sub!

How do MotoGP Riders use their Rear Brakes when they are sliding into a Right corner, doing something like the Doctor's Dangle?

2:58.. one problem, I don’t have a bike 😂

I actually do some of these while cycling on my road bike! 😃 I enjoyed this video thank you! 👍

Fantastic video! Really enjoyed it

Ohk .. now sign me for MotoGP race .. I know how to race

3:44🔥🔥🔥

This video blows my mind. Very good explanation. Thanks

love ur content dude i learn so many things so here is my subs

Just a wild guess: the narrator/person behind this is from sweden? Just something with the accent :) Helsning fra Norge!

4:22 *INCCCREASE*

Awesome video bruh... much respect

Really informative and cool vid!

Are you Swedish? You've got some clear accent.

I think you went through the Trail braking too quick, its one of the most important skill right now which helps riders could brake later and accelerate more quickly

Finally someone explains speed wobble been looking for years for info on this instead of people saying it happens or just referring to it with no explanation.

I wanna apologize for exploring your channel just now. Thank you so much for making this video.

Life on 2 wheels is unexplainable it's jus a beautiful fealing u an a machine against the world 🤫🤫🤫

I've never heard someone pronounce "Pneumatic" like Peh-Neumatic before.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I've been watching Motoamerica and noticed that they would stick their legs out at the turns and I wondered why. Now I know. I learned a lot from this 👍👍

Insightful vid! Could you explain more about twisting the foot to secure the outer knee? Twist it inwards such that the toes point towards the bike?

No one: This guy: Have you ever seen the riders cellular respiration?

2:58 What makes you think I have a bike? ... or a garage.

This video is very interesting for some one like me, who knows nothing about how bikes perform. I enjoyed watching it and in fact watched it a few times. Thank you 🙂 Well done!!!

I have no clue why this video popped up on my KZfaq feed, but I am glad it did. Pretty cool information.
