Tutorial Videos

These videos show and explain, in detail, the basics of the dynamics, the true science, and the "How & Why", behind the motion and operation of high performance motorcycles. If your looking for just a "Quick and Dirty Sound Bite", this is not it. Some videos may even be a little controversial to the current line of thinking. But if you want to actually learn something then stay tuned. Run times vary from 3 minutes to about 12 minutes

INTRODUCTION

A SHORT DISCRIPTION OF THE VIDEO SERIES

CG Movement from changes in BP

A look at how CGs work and how BP changes interact with the CG of the motorcycle

Dynamics of Motorcycle Motion Part 1

Part 1 covers the basic fundamentals and dynamics of motorcycle motion.

Dynamics of Motorcycle Motion Part 2

This is Video series #1, Part 2. It goes a little more into the science of the weight transfer to the front wheel, as it applies to proper initial front brake application. It also explains the limit of traction gained from weight transfer.

Fundamentals of Aggressive Braking, Part 1, "Front Braking"

CURRENTLY in re-editing and upgrades and is not available. This video series #2, Part 1 . This is the first step in developing good efficient braking skills. "How to use the front brake efficiently and aggressively."

Fundamentals of Aggressive Braking, Part 2, "Developing Late Braking Skills"

This video series #2 part 2. This is an in-depth look at developing LATE BRAKING techniques

Fundamentals of Aggressive Braking, Part 3, "Modifying Braking to Increase Entry Speed""

This is video series #2 Part 3. It covers the step by step, techniques, to safely and comfortably, attain a higher entry speed for cornering. Run time about 9 minutes.

Fundamentals of Aggressive Braking, Part 4, "Anatomy of Trail Braking"

This is video series #2 Part 4. This covers the basic theory, dynamics of trail braking.

2 Seconds is 2 Seconds

This is a quick and simplified animated video, showing the change in the distance between 2 seconds in the fast section going into a slow section.

Visual Reference/Action Points

A close look at the function of Visual Reference Points or Action Points

Basic Or Standard Motorcycle Road Racing Lines

This is video series 3 part 1. Basic lines for several types of turns are discussed.

Turn Radius Vs Mid Corner Speed Potential

This topic was briefly covered in "Dynamics of Motorcycle Motion Part 1". This video covers the topic in a little more depth.

Contact Size VS Traction levels

This addresses the current popular theory about the effects of a larger contact patch from more aggressive Body Position. This video shows a simple test between two different sized tire contact patches and the friction generated.

Gyro forces and motorcycles

A short quick video showing how the gyro forces actually work on a motorcycle chassis.

Two laps of Heartland Park KS

On-board video of Heartland Park. It is from a race car, but the overall unobstructed view of the track, is good for learning the track. it has a track silhouette overlay and other telemetry on screen.
