1:09 Somebody crashed while riding
@steveoliver177
Your conclusion is consistent with that of Lee Parkes in a recent interview on the motojitsu channel. He also felt that repetition and experience of one style builds a higher skill level, and ability to make minor adjustments to perfect that style. It’s a bit of a muscle memory type of tale.
@iodineclip
This is brilliant. Exactly the answer im looking for. You should continue the history video !
@ChadOHara98
Good approach to this video. I think it should be mentioned that body position can only take you so far when you’re trying to go faster. It matters more how well you approach the corners, hit apexes, get good drive on the exit, and take correct lines between corners. Which all warrant their own video, at least, for a full explanation.
@KenpachiZarakiX
I like seeing how the brake line extends when you get on it and compresses when you start to brake.
@AndrewBoundy
Great video - often wondered. On your results, I would (also) conclude that your second set (lap 7,8,9) is faster because you're properly warmed-up (regardless of style according to times). As for mix being quicker - this is (also) due to the fact that this is how you normally ride and you're more aggressive knowing your limits. It does make sense from a steering/geometry perspective that long sweeping curves are hang-out and tighter ones are foot-out (to me at least). Great vid - thanks!
@DrWagner
Beautiful shot with a great song that on the last seconds of this clip.
@marcelomuller1976
Diogo Moreira at Alcarras GP showed that when you do the knee down technique right you can go faster. The kid won the GP and left behind all the big guys of the championship.
@supermotokev92
For me its either Foot Out on extreme corners BUT on Easy corners, Foot out and Hanging off is not necessary at all. Also i dont think speed is the only thing to be considered. The weight distribution technique for better stability is totally different between the two methods in varying speeds. I also find footout to be much more forgiving for the rider in a lowside crash compared to hanging off. All that precious ground clearance goes to waste when hanging off as well.
@chuliki55
The difference can't be tested with an amateur rider; they have to be tested from a pro rider that goes really fast with both styles to really understand the difference
@ADzx1034
Makes a lot of sense. I have found quick corners it will be knee out, but on tight corners or lots of switching of directions foot out is better.
@jc151racing
Love the videos, maybe we will race some time! I find your assessment is accurate. At a big track I will hang off entirely, and at a kart track it will be all foot out.
@whitelamborghinigoesskrrts9948
I feel like foot out only applies to motocross. That was the initial reasoning for foot coming off the bike in any sport nowadays, It originated in the burm. It has slowly transgressed into every other two wheeled sport. With the motor.
@alext8828
Why can't you brake later while hanging off? Hanging off keeps the bike more upright so it's got to be a faster cornering technique. I think Valentino Rossi is fast for some other reason other than the leg out thing.
@mixjon76
Nice FS 450 Mike. Now you need to do this video again with the 701 to see how much the added weight and hp differences add to the track time.
@duannecb
The only other observation is your times were quicker after the tyres were well and truly warmed up in both sessions. Good video. Would be interesting to see telemetry for corners as comparison.
@brucesmotorcycleshop3729
Love your videos man! And that bike! 😍😍
@cafenightster4548
I change my form on dirt and road. Leg out to catch my self at lower speeds and hang off when on asphalt. I thinks that's why motocross was probably an influence on the this form or technique.
@davenaga6101
enjoy ur vids.whatever technique gets th job done is kool.im ol flat track racer frm th 6os 7os,short track ,half mile n th mile..i stil lik to toss my little supermoto on its cases, back it in to scrub off speed,squaring th corner then track thru apex,at this point my knee can b under handlebar against my arm n tight corners physically holding her down..im 75yrs old so giv me sum slack for th ramble,i shouldnt b going this quick but i lik th feeling.also going into or out of sum corners i leg dangle alot to hold my line or simply put a knee out .actually i dnt think jst muscle memory..check out sum old mile races like ama du quion mile scott parker n kevin atherton..very close ,fast racing..
