6/17 Video Review Notes
At the start of the call we broke down tires, and what the benefits are of different tire setups. Then we broke down Lisa's video attached below. Here are the following notes AND the homework assignment, but I will make a separate Homework assignment post. Thanks again to everyone who jumped on the call!
Good starts:
Excellent launch, you didn’t spin you’re wheel because you didn’t need too. That gave you better drive at the start I think.
You let the clutch out at the bottom on both takes very nicely.
On the first go, you never stood up all the way, and you relied on pure throttle to carry you up the hill. (Sometimes that’s good!) But this time, when you hit the ledge you were in the tractable power, which let the front wheel come up, and caught you off guard. Clutch comes in from panic, then gets let out again = spinning the rear tire, loss of traction and dug a hole 😭
On the second go, you had power stored in the motor. You could’ve shifted up a gear at the bottom and tried to carry third? All the way up instead of second?
But all in all. Still a good run. You stood up, had good upper body movements, and absorbed the ledge quite nicely.
NOTES:
You COULD have carried a gear higher (shown by the upshift you made before making it to the top of the hill)
You COULD have had even more power stored in the motor (just in case of emergency) but the power you had was nice and held traction nicely.
You CAN move your body even MORE. You’re lower body is quite rigid on the motorcycle and that just comes from practice and becoming more comfortable on the bike.
HOMEWORK:
I will post the homework assignment for everyone in the community tab, post call.
Is this working for everyone? LOL
WORK ON - Maintaining a good steady tone of the bike while holding yourself on a hill.
WORK ON - centered body position and keeping the chest UP and looing forward. Don’t collapse over the bars while practicing. NO SUPERMANS
Bonus challenge: Find a gentle rolling slope. Grass, sand, gravel…doesn’t matter (no lava)
Something that is OK IF YOU TIP OVER ON.
Work on trying to roll up it as SLOW AS POSSIBLE.
Slipping the clutch, maintaining that tone. And keeping the bike UPRIGHT.
If the bike leans, it will start to turn, so we can’t rely on turning the bars for ALL our balance.
We need to use our body to help us keep the bike upright and balance while still maintaining good control of the clutch and throttle!!!!!!!!
Post your practice attempts (and successes!) in the community page. Most improved gets a virtual high five.
