best counter-steering how-to video ever.

@101DriftingLord No, that would be two actions. It only takes one action. You push on one side of the bar, it goes the direction it's pushed very briefly, then goes the opposite way. The whole time all you did was push one direction, just like in the video. It's just one action on your part until it's time to stop turning, though the bike does two actions. The first one is so brief that you won't even notice it at all probably. Look at the full speed part of the video, it happens very quickly.

Dont know what all the fuss is about counter steering. Everybody who rides a bicycle or a motorcycle is doing it all the time. They just dont realise it. Its the only way possible to steer a bike.

@r3No1 I think he knows what hes doing. Is the title of this video:

HOW TO DO EVERYTHING 100% CORRECT ON A MOTORCYCLE??? Nope.

He is showing how to counter steer, not how to ride a motorcycle. And you dont need to turn your head and look where your going in order to counter steer. Nice try though.

@MagicTurdd You beat me to it! i was thinking i was the only one that noticed. haha

[r3No1]

This concept is over thought and cannot be described if the person is not on a bike. It like trying to explain how far you should turn the wheel to make a turn in a car. You will figure it out. Get on the bike get up to 20mph and try to swerve around a cone. Just remember, push right go right, push left go left. Your natural instinct will take over from there. GO RIDE A BIKE!!!

YOu may need a new camera. Video runs at like 10 frames per second, but could still see what was going on. :)

@DaBurntToaster If you initiate the turn and hold steady pressure, you'll keep turning. If you increase the pressure, you'll turn sharper. If you let off pressure, you'll start to straighten out. If you've ridden bicycles at a fairly fast clip, you've already been doing it naturally.

@dantama35 if you push to turn right, you turn left, do you keep the bars in that position to keep the turn, go back to center, or move the bars along with the turn? i plan on getting a bike but this is the only thing that makes no sense and videos seem to contradict each other saying, you keep it in the opposite direction and saying you do one of the others
