You probably think you can ride a bit

...I'd have no problem with standing in the Globe of Death with those riders doing figure 8s round my head...

Alright buddy you're being a bit silly aren't you? How, may I ask did you get a photo of my wife???

Your wife!!!!!! you mean she is mega scary and a bigamist?????

Educate me, explain the difference. I'm genuinely interested, I cannot do either, TT or cone dodging.

I'm not the right guy to ask for explenations, but I'll try to be direct. (I have a tendancy to think faster than I type).

Traveling at speed, to turn you must load the front as much as you can and apply pressure to the inside bar at the same time as the outside peg. The reason for this is that the spinning bits on the bike going fast, (wheels and crank), are creating so much enertia that they really dont want to change direction.

At the low speed seen in the clip the enertia you want to fight is considerably lessened, shut the throttle as you move your weight, and the bike literally falls the way you wanna go, (there is a small counter steer to get the wheels to start moving out from under you), turn the bars that way aswell and presto, tight turning circle. Stop it from falling over with the throttle again and moderate it with the rear brake.

If you watch the guy doing the slalam, you can see him going from full to zero throttle, and stabbing the rear brake. It's the same as a race bike loading up the front tyre, just done very differently. Try and apply one technique to the other discapline, and be prepared to meet an inhospitable ground.

Got a fuckin BANGIN rack though. A lot can be forgiven for that.

Thank you. That makes sense to me, the physics is more or less the same but different techniques for different speeds. I do know it's a lot easier to fall off a bike going slowly than it is to fall off a bike going fast. Disregarding scenery of course.
