BTW how do they do that? I remember seeing a sportbike doing a course like this one and the guy was draggin knee the whole time at less then 20mph. I want to do that on the buell but how!!

Step1: Use Someone else's bike; A department Bike; or other bike you won't be financially responsible for making repairs on.. to practice. lol

A great deal of it is clutch control, practice and above all confidence (in yourself and the bike) I bought one of those ride like a pro videos (by the Motorcycle cop)last year when I first got my bike. There's bloopers at the end so you see that even those guys and ladies make mistakes.
I try to get to a lot if I can to set up a few cones in slalom and that 15 ft box from the basic rider course. I never set the cones even remotely that^ close, but I would imagine you can probably start inching them closer and closer to increase the difficulty and sharpen your skill.

i would like to see how a sportbike time would compare. i can only find police bikes doing these kind of competitions

That is really impressive. That's a heavy bike and even though it sounded like he was using the pegs to effect - its still really amazing control over a large bike.

If I even attempted that I'd tip almost instantly. I'm okay but that is the difference between a pro and an amateur.

wow that was cool...Tough course to know where you circle and stuff pretty cool

 

[Redgreen]

Piece of cake. Use the back brake while modulating the clutch.

Kona,
Not the same course.. a bit looser but I think the Japanese refer to these competitions like this on sportsbikes as Moto Gymkhana or something. Here's a vid of it.. and it supposed to be a chick rockin' the course from under that helmet.

Thats the video i was looking for! Also it seems like the suspension is set really loose. I want to do this on the buell.
