It's not strange but unusual for the wheel to hang in like that for that amount of time. Braking hard on a quick steering bike from speed the back wheel hops in and out a bit when the bike is upright and hangs out when leaned in. It's really unusual in this instance because the bikes never seem that upright from the previous right so Chris must have got the wheel up at the point that he flicked left then turned right on that inside line, the rear wheel touches down sometime later.
What he is doing is braking hard with the front wheel so that the back wheel is just hovering above the surface of the track. So the bike is riding in a straight line towards the corner on the front wheel while the body and back wheel of the bike floats inwards, probably due to where his weight is positioned on the bike.
I have no idea why people are weirded out by this. it's called backing it in. the back wheel steps out and the bike drives in the direction of the front wheel. it's very normal, looks a bit funny in this case because he coming straight towards the camera and for some reason moved to the inside before turning in but thats it.
@butcherbloke but they are going 200+ kmph mate, thats why its strange. If loosing traction at that speed doesn't scare you, you're one brave individual.
@shadow237666, how does that make it strange? It's perfectly normal to get a bit sideways when braking hard for a slow corner after a long straight. most racers do. The camera angle just doesn't show how far he is traveling forwards and it looks like he is crabbing across the track. and there are other riders in this video doing it too, but sliding towards the outside of the track to get a good line instead of towards the inside and people aren't freaked out by that...
@butcherbloke That's the thing - in this vid, the back wheel steps "in". You're right, it's very normal, but usually the back wheel goes towards the outside of the turn, not the inside. Looks weird.
@Trey3j he slides that way because of the direction he is traveling. Usually a rider wants to go to the outside of the corner to get a wide line as they turn in and so they slide in that direction. if this was approaching a right hander nobody would think it strange at all. The only strange thing in this video is why Vermulen wanted head towards the inside before turning in. perhaps he had out broke himself and was carrying to much speed so instead of turning in he was still hard on the brakes.
I actually did this at Mid OH coming off the back kink and began braking. Now I only did about 3 ft not 3/4 of the track, but I think weighting the outside peg more than the inside is a key factor.
I remember watching this race live and Chris was doing this almost every other lap.
He must be chopping the throttle which puts a counter torque on the rear swingarm and sliding/riding the rear brake while using the perfect amount of front brake without causing a mono. Perfect. Hope he goes well this year on the new ZX10R after major surgery last year, he must be keen to get on a superbike again.
@crazylegs187 That was truely sad. Toseland didn't fair much better.
Then you have Ben, comes to WSBK, rips them a new one, and moves on to MotoGP effertlessly. Now he's on to the factory squad, and looking to do very well.
@HillbillyonaYZ Yea Ben is a great rider . I dont think cal is gonna set the world on fire tbh.And Toseland well i thinkj he`s seen his best days. Maybe chris can do summit next year with the new zx10.
braking drift is not hard to learn really... just fronbrake and switch down and a slide will come! with slipperclutch is really really easy.. im driving the second year now and can do it a bit... and im not a extrem good driver... powerslides!! that are really skills...
@eskallito Just that easy hey lol Everyone's a pro here lol.....Post a vid of you 'doing it a bit' and send me the link, then I'll consider believing ur comment.
He's fishtailing. The rear tyre is raised 2-3mm off the ground, and with the necessary steering adjustments you can drift like this. Takes a lot of skill though!
The screwy thing about this is he's backing it in the "wrong" way. Normally the rear would pivot to the outside, but somehow he wound up with it on the inside and had to chase with the front to keep the bike pointing straight. Bizarre.
When you brake hard the rear wheel can/does come off of the ground a bit. When this happens it can try to pivot around the steering stem and come out to the side. This means the rear is stepping out and all the weight is on hte front tire. He steered the bike to the right to catch the rear stepping out while it was skipping across the pavement. You see this a lot in racing, just not usually of this magnitude.
@kurzsbk08 Yeah it actually looks like he is havng a problem with his bike - you would not want to slide to tehinside of teh corner, because it doesn't set you up properly.
@Badassbok I agree. I remember watching this race and he did it repeatedly. There's no sense in diagonalling like that normally, so it must have been due to something else.
a foot full of rear brake cause the rear wheel to slow down and slide, but not so much that the wheel lock, the rest is done with moving his weight slightly - possibly to his left
You know the stuff they do on 'dirt' tracks, if you will pardon the experession, the front wheel is turned away from the direction of turn, and the back wheel is power slide into the direction of the turn. Because it is at such speed it has to be less exagerated and the turn is thus less.
Anymore and you would be going home in an ambulance. Something like that anyway?
It's at the beginning of the video! I didn't realize it first either. Because it shows the other 2 guys for the rest of the video.
I suppose the back of Vermulen's bike swung to the right (from his view) and he just followed it with the front wheel to straighten it out. To give the rear wheel more grip he had to ease up on the brakes and that's what he wanted to avoid. Because you don't really wanna go to that side. The line is where the other guy was (left side from their view).
Yea I think it's similar to a speedway turn which he inadvertantly went into and then had to 'ride it out' to straighten up, had the bend been much wider he could have gone all the way around like that, but he had to get it straight to go into a normal turn as it would be impossible to make the turn tighter without breaking your neck!!
He "backs it in" which, if you're not familiar with motorcycling, means to un-weight + "slide" the rear wheel as you slow down with hard front-braking. A fancy, yet prac tical way to help line up your bike for corner entry.
HOWEVER, Vermeulen swings the rear of the bike INWARDS instead of OUTWARDS, which is what you'd expect. Tricky? Very. Do-able? Definitely. Kick-Ass? Uh-HUH!!
AND it's actually very practical when entering a hairpin turn + needing to get inside QUICK, like he did here
the most efficient line round a 180 degree bend is making it as smooth and wide as possible, so moving to the inside of the tack before the corner begins is not beneficial.
if he had already turned in he would be going in that direction, but as the front brake is firmly in play, and the back isnt planted, hes not turning in yet.
It does depend on the characteristics of the corner in question. The adelaide hairpin does open up a lot on the exit, and with an increasing radius corner an early apex is a good idea.
However in this vid Chris probably takes the example a bit far... Okay a lot far!
is simple....he brakes.... the front gets heavy...the rear get light....and the rear slides following the previos direction(vector) for inhertia(it is so in english? i don't know)
what the fudge? i dont just ride a trials bike i ride my bros ntv 650 etc. the way u talk u wud think you were rossi.lol i take it u race bikes? i cnt afford track days an shit.lol p.s theres btr drifters than that.lol
@graham6824 yea dude...if the chain broke the bike would just straighten itself out because there would be no force slowing the tire to induce a slide
@xcruzrr6: in this race, the chain was too loose which made the bike slide side ways and later in this race Chris stopped with a DNF when the chain broke. The race was from the 2005 season.
Youd know if the back wheel was locked when he was drifting coz he would be sailing through the air after a high side. The whole secret of drifting a bike is NOT to lock the back wheel. Drifting and sliding under brakes are two totally different animals. Brake slide you lock it, drifting you dont.

Youd know if the back wheel was locked when he was drifting coz he would be sailing through the air after a high side. The whole secret of drifting a bike is NOT to lock the back wheel. Drifting and sliding under brakes are two totally different animals. Brake slide you lock it, drifting you dont.
