Playing in the sun
 

Popped out to the mountains with a mate - he brought a camera along and took some photos. I was practicing lifting the front wheel and sliding the tail out with counter steering (concentrating on keeping both feet on the pegs, not so easy:seasaw:) Here are the pics he took.

Great pics!

Though I have to state that your bike is way too clean.
You lot need to get dirty.

wow, awesome. Is there any trick to do the sliding with counterstearing or just practice a lot? When i try to do that i always cross the bike. A proposito, eso es cerca del aeropuerto no?

Countersteering (not an expert so welcome other comments here!)

two ways to initiate countersteering, when coming into the turn you can either;

1) Apply the rear brake to slide the tail out a bit and then pour on some power (half throttle)

2) Slip the clutch near the apex of the turn just like you would for a wheelie to break the tail out.

In both cases it is very important to weight the outside peg, if you don't, the bike will just low side.

Be very careful, you can high side the bike doing this and that would not be pretty. try it slow, in first gear only to start. If you want a hand, pm me and we'll go out together sometime.

Es en la pista de motocross.

Thanks. I'll try it out this semana santa.
