Hey, that's the kind of thing I practice when I go to riding schools!! And that's why I always stress use of rear brakes!

Yeah, he presents it really well and this is a great video.

Slow speed maneuver is a skill on it's own but something worth practicing especially for someone like me who can't kick the ground if I lose balance. I CAN'T loose control and that's why, for me, these maneuvers are so important.

Yeah I'm tall and lazy... I'm good at low-speed maneuvering but I can be lazy whenever I want since I can just flatfoot ( looks around for pee in wind ) whenever I want.

Cool video though. Wish all riders had to demonstrate that slow maneuver ability before getting their license.
