Holy crap! :blink:

Bloody good skills, wish I could ride like that! Wonder how many offs he had practising to get that good...

And the Yanks do it on Harleys. But a bit more slowly and I'm sure its their panniers that stop them from falling over.

I remember now.. pretty much the same as the basic handling skills training...:blink:

[woodboats]

Excellent handling skills!
Note to self: Find some cones and get out there and practice more.

[Patch]

bahhhh, amateur - no wheelie, stoppie nor power slides, whadda wuss

[Meekey_Mouse]

Cool :D that looks like fun... Might get some cones and give it a go while I still have my 250 ( wouldn't really wanna do it on my big bike for a while lol)

[boostin]

I would have enough trouble remembering where to go

[babyblade250rr]

dang that guy has skills! yeah i can corner like that:whistle: Yeah right!! i'll blame my lack of cornering ability on my wide rear tyre hahaha


nice post!

Holy !!!!!!! That's frigging awesome! Kind of like the jet sprints of motorcycling.

I'd bet Andrew Templeton of RoadSafe in Petone could give it a good nudge. Perhaps it's part of the super-advanced (spend more time riding than anything else) course.

[Unit]

What an awesome sport, exactly what I need to be doing. I did feel sorry for the Yank cops though, their bikes look so awkward. Would be good to get a few people together here, steal some cones find a big car park and have a go

[Devil]

I'd call a repost, but I guess it has been a couple of years ;)

Still very cool.

Yikes, been a KB member for nearly 4 years.

[Mental Trousers]

Respect for those skills. Wish someone would train me so I'm that good.

[PrincessBandit]

WOAH! apart from the absence of double axels and triple toeloops the guy could be an olympic figure skater!! Very impressive.

[RantyDave]

Repost, but awesome all the same. It's a good form of motorsport for confined places - i.e. Japan. Perhaps we should start trying it at the bucket track?

Edit: The Japanese cops. OMG. I guess you'd have to get over your fear of dropping it, eh?

Triple toeloops and double axels? ..Sounds like a hidden talent you have there... :msn-wink:

For more high speed tight cornering fun! Sugoi ne! :yes:

[Kittyhawk]

Oh pfft tis what Im teaching my newbs on monday nights! Its why we have so many cones hahahah...

Awesome skills and smoothness the guy didnt look like a technicial rider, more of a feel rider and just did it.

[oldrider]

Wow, that's good riding!

That looks just like the road I used to ride home on when the pubs used to closed at six o'clock! :apint:

Funny thing is, I could never find that road on the way "to" the pub! :beer: John.

PS: Six o'clock closing was the "pits"....You know....the good ol'e days!....yeah right! (Tui times, literally)

[discotex]

Don't know what you guys are all thinking...:rolleyes:... He/she didn't even even get their knee down!


Puts the basic handling skills test to shame eh.

[discotex]

Wouldn't take many people chipping in to get a trash bike to practice skills like this on.

[Badger8]

Woot!!! That was cah-raizay!!!
Blown away by the jap cop's, but i guess they'd be must have skills in such a crowded place.

[90s]

Erm, yes - that is what very good technical riders look like - as though it is as easy as breathing. There is no way to that performance through straight natural ability - whatever anyone would like to post.

[007XX]

Holy macaroni! :shit:

Tight cornering is "ma bete noire"...I really wish I had more confidence to do it properly...:crybaby:

Especially when I'm tired after a long day riding up and down the country and I need to do a u turn soemwhere...my VTR would be glad not to have to be laid on the side, getting a bent brake lever in the process :o :mad:

[Kittyhawk]

Erm, yes - that is what very good technical riders look like - as though it is as easy as breathing. There is no way to that performance through straight natural ability - whatever anyone would like to post.

The ability to be a natural feel rider, implement handling techniques comes as a high advantage..You can teach someone techniques but you can not teach "feel"

Consumption of time to perfect skills like this takes alot of commitment. Its taking a bike to the next level, much like musicians and their musicial instruments. :shutup:

I want to get to the next level in riding, have the bike be a part of me and an extension of my body. One day :yes:

Got enough construction going on I'm sure they wouldn't miss 15 or so from Route P at Chapel street...

Or you could get the Hamilton Hoons to set they're thing up again.

[PrincessBandit]

So there's hope for me yet?:laugh:

[skidMark]

it was a repost when i put it up.:sweatdrop

oh and it's a vfr400r nc24

I watched these vidios last night
thought they were great!
Tonight I have just finished fitting a new rear tyre, cleaned a few things and lubed a few joints.....test ride ......OK!
Seeing I have a 1/2acre front lawm, which at the moment is just brown grass, and this lawn is peppered with fruit trees, I decided to try out the xsessive around the trees to see how I would go.
Well much to my surprize, I got into it and enjoyed myself for a good 20 min.
I could very easily now do a u turn in less than a standard road width with out putting a foot down.
As has been said in many other threads, practice practice practice.
The grass surface is not a grippy as a road, so a bit of tyre spin was developed but hey, Im going to do it again,
Ive learnt that my bike will scrape a peg and still feel stable at 15kph on grass! So seald roads should be better
And the Xsessive is not a light Bike!
Go out and set yourself up a tight course and get some slow speed practice.
Its fun

[Kittyhawk]

So there's hope for me yet?:laugh:

What do you play??? Depending on what instrument, I might be able to give ya some pointers..

[Expert]

And i didn't see any of that bullshit countersteering atall!

[cold comfort]

Holy !!!!!!! That's frigging awesome! Kind of like the jet sprints of motorcycling.

I'd bet Andrew Templeton of RoadSafe in Petone could give it a good nudge. Perhaps it's part of the super-advanced (spend more time riding than anything else) course.

For sure after a training day with Andrew i'd agree. Stuff trying it with the Bandit tho:gob:

I love how they keep looking in the distance and how the bike follows where they look. Perfect video for newbies...

[Big Dog]

Almost lost for words.
I really want to try that...

That video is what got me into bucket racing when I first saw it...

[Swoop]

Go the VFR!
Good skills being shown there.

[mstriumph]

Excellent handling skills!
Note to self: Find some cones and get out there and practice more.

i was just thinking that .............:eek5:
