I've noticed that most of the Youtube videos of RLAP team members riding is on the full-sized 24 ft. exercises that new students learn on. I know they could do much tighter stuff. Do you film them on these because the cones are already set up for a class anyway, or is there an advantage to riding the full-size "intersection" at faster speeds?
@gnrands50 I teach the advanced class, not beginner riders. I tell Donna to always use all the room available in the exercise to show the riders at the class how much room there really is at 24'. Most riders that have been riding for years still seem to have problems making a simple U-turn. If I decreased the size to motor officer dimensions, (18 feet), the riders would not be happy.
@Got2takeAshit that is my wife, Donna...she's had 2 total hip replacements, 4 hip revisions and spinal cord surgery and can out ride any guy out there, well, besides me. So, this proves anyone can ride with skill, it just takes practice.
She makes that look so easy. It takes skill to do U-turns on large bike like that. I know. I have a big bike and it can be a real pain in the ass.
