I have been super busy lately but I promise that I will be making some new video lessons very soon. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you like the videos :)

Ken. Thank you very much for your kind words; they are a huge motivation for me. I'm very happy to hear that the videos have been helpful to you. I will be posting some new content very soon so stay tuned. Lot's more info to cover and I can't wait to share it with you. Thanks again and take care :)

You’re welcome. Some very helpful videos are coming soon. Thanks for watching :)

Honestly, my advice would be to gain as much knowledge about motorcycles as you can. Take all of the courses you can afford, read as many books as you can and watch as many videos online as you can. Besides that...practice and more practice. Becoming a master is all about daily attention to your craft and lots of practice and patience. It's kinda like dieting. You can choose many paths to lose weight and have good nutrition: Low carb diet, low fat diet, intermittent fasting, exercise, vegan diet, etc. But they all have something in common: None of them will work unless you apply them accurately and have the DISCIPLINE to stick with them long term. So any style or method you work on will improve your Gymkhana skills. Track riding, dirt riding, police slow speed style, MotoJitsu program, etc. Learn them all, stick with the practice long term and you will see results guaranteed. As far as specific exercises for Gymkhana, I would check out a channel and website called MySimasima. It's all in Japanese but you can use Google Translate. You can also watch the practice videos on KZfaq and emulate the exercises they use. That was how I learned some helpful patterns. Hope that helps :)

@@LexcoMotoGymkhana Wow thanks a lot for such a detailed reply, Alex! it is so helpful! Yes, I'm taking all kinds of courses and keep myself learning from others. It is good to know the right path to progress =p. I will definitely take your words and keep practising and experience different riding styles. Much appreciated!

That's a damn good question. You mentioned KZfaq and that's always great. Studying other rider's movements and line selection/strategy is key to deeper understanding of the rhythm and flow of Gymkhana. Besides that, I would also focus on doing a lot of reading. I currently have 8 motorcycle related books that I have read multiple times. I recently bought the Lee Park's/Race Tech Suspension Bible. I am attempting to learn as much as I can about suspension so that I can better understand my motorcycle. The more general knowledge you have about motorcycles and different styles, the better off you will be in Gymkhana. Knowing how to properly modify, adjust and maintain your motorcycle is like 30% of the game so even buying books on the mechanical aspects of motorcycles would be helpful. You can also focus (as you are doing) on the athletic aspects of motorcycling. ALL motorcyclists of ALL styles can benefit from increasing leg, glute, hip and core strength and mobility. Balance boards are fantastic and so is hitting the gym. Cardio comes into play as well, so we should be hitting the stationary bike or stairs. The other thing we can work on is increasing our cognitive abilities. I always recommend some form of Meditation practice for motorcyclists. I use elements of Mindfulness, Zazen, Wim Hof breathing exercises to help regulate my stress levels as well as improve my focus and concentration. Hope this helps :)

@@LexcoMotoGymkhana Thanks man! Great ideas as I expected. Arigatou!

Tom. Thank you very much for your comment. It's always great to hear that the videos are helpful. Unfortunately, I don't remember what dimensions I used for the patterns. When I practice, I usually just throw out some cones and I don't really ever measure the distance. For the Figure 8, I would recommend using the official GP8 standard distance between cones, which is 12 meters. I would also encourage that you practice both wider and shorter distances between each cone because each variation will require a different technique and approach. That will help you to be more well rounded and ready for anything. As far as slaloms, I would start with maybe 6 meters between each cone. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful with the dimensions but thanks again for your support. Cheers!

@@LexcoMotoGymkhana Thanks Alex for the super prompt reply. Keep up the good work - STAY SAFE!
