Good stuff. I wish I could get to the confidence level to do all of it. But at my advanced youth(69) I should have taken up the sport 55 years ago. Logs. We got lots of them. I know my KTM350 should just go right over them. I do enjoy watching how it should be done. Cheers!

Joe Harvey Hello Joe! I gained confidence my trying and trying and trying. Lots of failures finally lead to successes. Experiencing how persistence and hard work truly does pay off helped me to realized that I can do anything I set my mind to! I think it’s really cool that you’re out riding at the age of 69. I hear from people in their 40s all the time saying they’re “too old for that”. Thanks for watching my vids and leaving to positive comment! I really appreciate your support.

On a big bermed corner do you still weight the inside peg? Just wondering because I find weighing the outside foot better on a mountain bike. Love the videos!
@megs_braap
6 жыл бұрын
Neal Brooker For bermed corners like on the motocross track it is the opposite. I’m sitting on the outside edge of my seat, forward on the bike, inside leg out against the shroud for balance, and outside food pushing down on the peg to re-enforce your center of gravity. It’s completely different from those quick (standing up) turns through the woods.
@spookyroofus
5 жыл бұрын
How do you square weighting the inside peg with all the advice that says to get your weight to the outside on turns? I've heard that you should weight the inside peg just to initiate the turn and get the bike leaned, but then weight the outside peg for counterbalance, mostly by getting your butt to the outside, once the bike is leaned over. Or maybe you're saying, Megs, that on quick turns in the trails you shouldn't worry so much about getting your butt to the outside and instead just think about feet and weighting the inside peg?

why do you weight the inner peg seems like the outer would be better
@megs_braap
6 жыл бұрын
george I weight the inner for fast, flowy, stand-up corners. The only time I weight my outside peg for cornering is for sit-down corners such as on the motocross track or sometimes in the trails. This helps with balance and allows you to lean the bike over farther.
@Hunter-ve4pv
6 жыл бұрын
Laws of physics are at work during cornering and your technique allows you to better control the entire mass and make the turns faster. By weighting the inside of the turn you are increasing the force of gravity which is trying to pull you and the bike to the ground as you lean towards the turn. This increased force of gravity will counter the increased centrifugal force which is trying to throw you out of the corner. As a whole, you are creating a balance between the two forces which allows bike and rider to sway into and through the turn as fast as desired. There is a formula that describes this and there are more variables than I mentioned. Think of driving a car around a long gradual curve at high speed and how you instinctively find yourself leaning into the curve...even in a drivers seat. As you are standing on the pegs during your turns the centre of mass is higher than when sitting and the force of gravity is also different. Thanks for your videos. They are appreciated.
@Hunter-ve4pv
6 жыл бұрын
I should add that as you described, your inner weighted peg reduces the steering effort required to make the fast flowy turns. This will reduce fatigue and upper body work load.
