I noticed on the right hand pull out, the rider had his right foot down. This runs counter to everything that was taught to me in the MRF course here in CT. What's the deal with that? Not criticizing, just asking.
@gliderp It helps to have the motor leaned slightly in the direction you want to go, and thus it's easiest to have the foot down in the direction you want to go. Considering the relatively short distance allowed for the turn, things have to happen fairly quickly, so have that foot down in the direction you want to go makes it that much more efficient. It's possible to do this with the opposite foot down, it's just a little awkward. Thanks for asking.
The thing I hate about this or a 45 degree pullout with a far head turn is one can't "see" the "wall" of cones that's quite unnerving.
