Expert? How about turning your head and looking where you want to go? Eish... and I agree with viperman5686, how about some over the ankle footwear?

As a MSF Instructor (RiderCoach) and Professional Test Rider, I hope those watching the videos take the MSF course and learn why it is VITAL TO LOOK WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.

You are better off not teaching anybody anything, than teaching someone the wrong way to do something and potentially causing injury.

I like how this guy is wearing tennis shoes. He's going to regret that when his ankle bones get ground off by asphalt.

@viperman5686 those are skate shoe's

This guy is a complete and total noob. I've watched his other vids. Every single one of them is completely wrong, and frankly dangerous. New riders, stay the hell away from this advice. Take an MSF course and ignore EVERYTHING you see with this "expert"

Learn to ride like this and you will die.

I have watched all your training vids. You would never pass a module 1 Test in the UK.

using those techniques.

Sorry fella

Great videos but not the whole thing, where is the rest?

[WaqasAliZahid]

@CTEKGUY Your opinion is 100%, he seem pretty noob, LOL, Im a newbie at riding(not even 1 month), and I use your methods, looking to where I want to go, using better gear,etc., god... xD, my instructor seem to be pretty like you :P

@swatbrat It a honda cd 250u not a moped, I ride all bikes and been riding 37yrs, if its a poor turning circle you dump the bike over though you have to practice slow upright, the othjer guy in my vid is riding a cg125

[swatbrat]

@2wheelsteve You're riding a mo-ped in your video dude; much much easier to do these figure 8s on. Same with cruiser style bikes versus sport bikes (I've attempted these on both); there's barely any turning angle to work with on the sport bikes. That said, would love to see someone demo this right and tight on a sport bike cos this vid doesn't quite cut it.

Whats this counterlean thing, thats for 1mph trials riding not street riding, look a my vids and you wont see me counterleaning and I do them slow and faster in a much smaller turning circle than that, not taking a pop at you but if your counterleaning youve leaned the bike too much for the turn in the first place, ride safe
