In this video i will explain countersteering and how exactly it works both on slow and fast speeds. Also I will show you what happens if you slow down or speed up in a curve.

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!😉

Me, Andrey Bodrov and my channel, Moto Control disclaim any liability incurred in connection with the use of riding techniques from this channel. Use common sense, wear full protective gear and ride in a safe and predictable manner!

Thank you for your great impartation of knowledge. The advantage of non English speaking speakers trying to teach in English is that they tend to use the simplest words possible making them easier for us to understand. And in the end, the winners are the viewers and audience since we understand the concepts better. Excellent job you're doing sir. More power to you. Greetings from Baguio, the summer capital of the Philippines.

Absolutely! The way it was explained to me from my driving instructor without any physics and more explanation and just "you have to steer in the other direction" was straight up dangerous because i really tried to abruptly steer in the opposite direction. Also coming from mountain biking i think i instinctly was turning corners really quick with my weight, so i was already shifting my weight and trying to steer in opposite direction.

I've watched a lot of videos on the physics of countersteering, but this one is the *best* for an actual motorcycle rider, not a physics student. He talks about maintaining body position, how to use arms, head direction, clutch use, typical mistakes, how to practice, what to expect, and- if you add it all up, practicing repeatedly to develop trust in countersteering technique. Thank You!

I tried to practice this this morning, and it’s an eye opener. I have done counter steering comfortably at high speed but not low. And this makes total sense on low speeds and circles especially the idea of being relaxed and letting the bike turn. I am able to do faster and shorter turns and let the bike do it’s work. I used to have to turn it manually thinking I gotta max the turn of handle bars but the bike does it on its own! I’m mind blown, thank you for teaching this!

It's all true. During my motorcycle courses, I realized I never really steered the bike aside from when it was upright and going really slow. Other people had sore arms and shoulders saying the bikes are so heavy, but since I always let the bike steer itself, all the bikes, no matter the weight seems almost effortless to turn.

@grantperkins368 Жыл бұрын

The thing is, you had to be steering it to negotiate any curve or bend in the road, which means you were doing it subconsciously. Which isn't unusual, because everyone who ever rode a bicycle had probably never heard of counter steering while they were doing it, but 100% of those who survived were actually counter steering, otherwise I wouldn't have made it around the first corner. If you know what I mean. :-) have a good day!

@thaik56 Жыл бұрын

@@grantperkins368 correct but I was modulating the speed quite a bit too with the rear brake to make the bike slow down and lean easier too!

@tedthurgate Жыл бұрын

@@grantperkins368 i don't think that is true. A bicycle is so light and you are so relatively heavy that you can lean the bike a lot by shifting you weight. There is no need to counter steer. In fact when I was a kid I used to ride all the time with no hands. I would steer by just moving my knees left and right.

Check out any two wheeled sport and you'll see it everywhere. Speedway is a classic :-) It's actually pretty funny when you think about it, every single person that ever rode even a push bike has used this technique but 99% of them don't even realize it. Actually, for me, the first time I realized it was actually a thing was when I was practicing riding along sloping Road kerbing , in which circumstance it becomes very obvious because it usually happens at very low speeds :-)

This is by far the best explanation of counter steering after watching many other videos, as other comments have said you actually focus on details that are the most 'unnatural' and confusing for a beginner, body position, arm position, arm relaxing, push strength, when and where to do all of it and the variations, most other videos focus way too much on the bike and not on the body. I find that when I focus on being consistent with my body I pick up the skills much faster than if my brain is stuck trying to figure out what the bike is doing.

Great demonstration and explanation! I think the bars turning into the turn is what trips people up and makes them think that countersteering "doesn't work at low speeds". When the bike settles into the turn, the bars are turned significantly into the turn at low speed (vs looking almost straight at high speed) and they think they are making the bike turn by turning in the direction of the turn.
