Riding tips

Post by MojoScojo »

Great explanations. I've seen countless riders struggle with this stuff and have never really thought about it to explain what to do and why, just "watch me".

Only dude I ever saw who looked more comfortable on a 500 than Chuck Sun, was Jeff Leisk. The boy can ride !

most of what he was trying to convey coulda been worded as
"KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE PEGS" , and if you watch erzberg you can see the guys that have the least trouble keep all their weight on the foot thats on the peg IF they have no choice but to take a foot off the peg
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

That was pretty good.
It seems a natural thing at first to push with your legs but it does unweight the tire.
