  • i personally havent heard of counter sitting, but its pretty much the same thing as leaning to the opposite side of the direction you are turning. campag has no clue what he is talking about. If you lean in the direction you are turning, you will put ur foot down, or even fall. If you are doing a slow turn left, you must lean your body to the right.

  • they taught this method for slow turning at my msf class it really works and is kind of fun to practice and really master. At the class we had to enter a marked box through an entrance do circles and exit through a marked exit spot . Those msf classes are legit.

  • @carpenter751 i just wish they gave us the option to practice on a 250cc sports bike, the cruisers aren't helping me learn at all with my sports bike.

  • why break 2 times when you stop ?

    what about the neutral speed ?

    where is neutral speed??

  • This seems like the type of thing you'd learn from trick riding. It would enable you to make very tight turns like this more confidently than without. I need a BIKE!!! =*(

  • @IPWNNOOBSTHATCAMP Atleast your playing CoD for the time being :D

  • i want a motorcycle but im only 13 so thats that f*cked

  • The only time you ever counter sit is if you are about to run of the road, get transfixed on the white line and hang off the side of the bike that the line is opposite to so you can get off the white line easier. If you really want to learn the basics pay a little bit of money and go and do a california superbike school. They teach you everything you need to know for the road and taught me everything I need to know for the race track. :)

  • Good video, I currently have a cruiser but my next bike will be a superbike so this was very useful.

  • i recommend you practice this with the clutch fully in and the with the throttle maxed!

  • very good info.. TQVM buddy! I almost drop my bike yesterday doing the opposite way.. LOL
