not saying im a god at cornering or anything but i was an insturctor this past summer and i noticed he left quite a few very important things out

what he did explain:

look ahead of turn
brake before turn
pump in turn

what he left out:

pedal position
weight placement/balance
bike body seperation and when to use it (HUGE part of turning thats often over looked)
guaging the angle/elevation of berm
how to pump with regards to body position and weight distrabution

then again the worlds best racer might be a horrible teacher and a average rider might me a great teacher

Yeah I was looking forward to how to reall turn, not when to brake and what to do after the turn. Favourited because I love his skill on corners though!

Id like to have heard what he had to say about foot placement, hip placement, weight positioning etc as thats my biggest flaw; any competent biker knows that your tyres grip better if your not braking whilst cornering. Good watch anyhow. He is rediculously fast.

I think I am agreed (no brakes), but. pause the vid and go to 1:23. He is drifting a bit on the rear brake. That doesnt work so good for me but I guess if you are ripping it doesnt matter.
