  • Its you against the world thadmanyo. Unless you got the balls to race and prove yourself, stop wearing underwear made in china, you dumbass. wtf is asian trash? we are ranked #1 in the Universities. We typically own your economy. What are you? 17?

  • @13mordeth Imo it would be done on the opposite side because said extra weight would be pushing your tires towards the ground, thus increasing traction, whereas the same side pushing would be pushing them in kindof a horizontal direction, making it like you were cornering harder. just the way my mind is working it out.

see all

  • haha thats how standing up works thats great man

  • @ShwigShwag pivot steering was actually coined by Code in Twist 2.

  • Bah I heard you mention this in another video and have been pushing on the wrong foot in a turn. I'll try it out tomorrow, hope it works better! Thanks M13.

  • What was i talking about sex? No but you were thinking it :p haha

  • true*

  • I'm sorry but this is not turn foot peg pressure doesn't help you through a turn as much as your body position and and handle bar pressure. i think i twas Keith code that proves this in one of his videos. They have a guy riding a bike with a separate set of handle bars mounted to the bike not the triple tree. He s stands with one foot on one peg and leans and the bike barely goes anywhere.

  • @Lamaj96 I've responded to what I could. All I can do is try to tell you why it doesn't work the way you think it does. Which is also why I keep bringing up that you can't change the CoG without moving mass. Think about that for a minute. Moving mass involves physically moving the stuff of your body. Your atoms. This is after all what gravity is interacting with. To lower the CoG of your body you need more atoms lower in your body.

  • @YZBot Say whatever you want, you're going completely off topic and ignoring everything I've said, you havent commented on any of the examples I put. I just put in bracets the changing CoG would involve changing the location and quantity so don't start making things up. Continue on with it if you want, but you've avoided everything I've said so there's no point in discussing it any further.

  • @Lamaj96 It's not opinion, it's scientific fact.

    You are confusing what weight really is. Weight is not a quantity (scalar), it's a force (vector). You even said this once already, but then fail to notice when you start using it the wrong way.

    The average persons head weighs about 10#, It matters not if you are standing on one foot, upside down, hanging by one arm, or standing on your motorcycles pegs, your head still weighs 10#. No movement of mass, no change in CoG.
