Maybe its the camera position, but from the looks of it, you really need to work on your body positioning. It looks like you are leaning the bike under you while staying straight up.

 

[Theycallmecrash]

I wasnt really doing any crazy lean angles the fish eye lense really exaggerates speeds and angles a lot.

You wouldnt be wrong though i have horrible body positioning when it comes down to it, ive no knee protection so getting my ass off the seat and knee out scares me.

[Theycallmecrash]

Mesa grande, its off the 76 by lake henshaw cuts over to the 79 towards jullian.

Nice looking road..... Little jealous, the only thing I'm ridding for the next 3-4 months is my snowboard.

 

[Theycallmecrash]

Here are some pictures from the ride

2nd pic looks like your buddies foot is draggin.

Ill admit my body positioning is far from perfect. I will look into the "twist of the wrist" for sure [up]

But ive never scrapped my toes or foot. What is it you see, that explains "crash"? Im not bothered by the statement, i wanna know what im doing wrong so i can improve upon it. One of the things i really wanted people to do was give advice on my performance.

They call me crash, actually came about from stupid accidents like the bus, also looped a wheelie on the freeway, hit my a truck in an intersection, oil leaked on rear tire, and my first crash about 5 years ago on a back road i was unfamiliar with. Lessoned learned from all

To be strait forward.....your real choppy on the throttle and your corner entry and exits are real bad. How you ride right now (in the video) your a person that if a good rider came behind you and your were not smart enough to move out of the way he would push you to cross the double yellow and into on coming traffic. Or if you chased a fast rider you'd blow a turn and "crash"


And also in the 3rd picture your right foot looks pretty close to the ground.....

 

[Theycallmecrash]

i never was fully comfortable with my entry/exit. Now i at least have some direction in what to improve upon.

Im ordering the books today, look like a good read.
