How to corner on a motorcycle, not by trying to find the line, but with defined entrances, apexes and exits.

For many of us, learning how to identify and hit our apexes isn't exactly intuitive. But in this video, we go into detail about why delayed apexes are important and how to find them, even on corners you've never been through before.

    The overhead drone footage is phenomenal. This video is heads and shoulders above the rest because of it.
  • Outstanding. At 66 I have always believed I learn everyday. Thank you for the information. You may never hear about it, but you have saved a life or two for sure.
  • @paanfarkhan4677
    i cut around 3sec at my local track after watching your videos and applying them on track. Really great tips!

    The #1 Reason I Will Trail Brake in every corner! Somewhere in one of your previous video you said. I paraphrase "NEVER run wide in a corner, NEVER touch the line ina corner, NEVER have a white knuckle curve, NEVER be afraid of twisties and run for the interstate." Trail braking is the Magic bullet to have all those NEVER. It gaves you the confidence to enter later and faster with the brake light on...knowing that you can correct your direction just by adding a few points of brake....That's it. and it does work in the car as well (a safe place to practice). THABK YOU,THANK YOU, THANK YOU

    I've been riding for 45 years on various bikes, and watched countless youtube videos on motorcycling, this is one of the best videos I've ever seen on cornering. Thanks
  • @CaptainSwoop
    I've just received my learners permit. I had no idea regarding the physics involved in motorcycle handling. What a fascinating adventure this is. I salute you for taking the time to help me and your excellent, intelligent presentation. Thanks.
  • @RickLincoln
    Well organized material with excellent graphics support and perfect delivery. Your videos make learning easier.
  • @GMak81
    You are doing a great service to the biking community with these videos. Thanks very much.

    I could never figure out why I struggled with certain turns using slow, look, crash, and burn until I learned about trail braking! I first learned about it from you, Dave, right here on Canyon Chasers! My friend turned me on to your channel some years ago, and I am hooked! Trail braking changed everything for me, and it's saved my bacon a few times as well. I don't ride a crotch rocket, but I have found that it doesn't matter. I ride a 1,000 lb. Gold Wing, but trail braking works the same. In fact, I rode "The Snake" here in northeastern Tennessee where I live, and trail braking made that experience so much more enjoyable! It's 489 turns, 3 mountains, and 1 valley. Thanks for all you do, Dave! I always look forward with great anticipation to your next video! Ride safe, sir!
  • @Claimjumper55
    Terrific content and your production quality is off the charts.
  • @viki9539
    your channel improved my cornering substantially without even me meaning to do so. thanks
  • @hoboesque
    Very helpful. "There is no such thing as a fast line through a slow corner". And on public roads, visibility is everything. It's not about whether you're going optimum speed for the corner, the conditions, and your bike. It's about whether you're going optimum speed to deal with the unexpected popping up right in front of you.
  • @Glasshousebc
    Fabulous explanation and most important, the repeated highlighting of staying safe... in your lane... was very, very welcome. Great graphics, overhead shots, and summary. Nice work matey... stay safe Steve.
  • @adnan_Ok
    Normally you would need to pay in order to get information this good. Great video. (56 year old biker, S1000RR)
  • @TheTerrypcurtin
    Great videos. At 64 riding is fun again. Learning and applying is a blast. Buell XB12X
  • @brianperry
    Fifty seven years of riding motorcycles has taught me that you can never stop learning. In that time I have seen /experienced new technologies :ie tyres, suspension, brakes and the geometry of the chassis,.all of which in combination is a giant leap forward. Making safe use of the afore mentioned is forever a learning curve..greeting from a Brit living in España... great video.

    Excellent video, especially the parts where you anticipate (and explain) common misconceptions. As a Canadian who has made the pilgrimage to Deals Gap a dozen times over the last fifteen years. It was there I learned to really watch others learn the hard way to ride The Dragon. After riding it slowly, smoothly and skillfully, and “practicing” it well over 300 times I can now say I can truly enjoy The Dragon and breathe the fresh mountain air - at the same time. That said, after fifty years of riding long and hard on many places on the planet, I’m amazed at how many skills I have yet to identify and fully develop. This is mostly because the first twenty years of riding I just faked it and luckily made it to ride another day. For the last twenty years or so I began to privilege practice over performance; I feel I’m much better off for it, so thanks for the advice and the video . . . well done!
