Yeah, this IS a great video!!
Yup, the same things they teach in riding schools!

And this is why I use my rear brakes a lot too. More so to stabilize my bike when I need to maneuver it in low speed situations than to stop although I do use it in congunction with my front brakes for stopping also.

I've seen a bunch of Crash's vids all over the net. Great combination of educational content and humor. Nice teaching style.

Maybe you could post the other vids to create a rider education thread. That would make a great Sticky.

Just don't let the safety nazi's see the ones where Crash is teaching you how to do stoppies and ride on sidewalks.

I noticed you didn't mention priests...

I bet motorcyclists in the UK, Japan, Australia and the like prefer to turn right...

Yeah, I know. I don't remember where the U-turn vid was posted first, but thought it was moved to the new CaptCrash place along with some others. Thought I would point that out.

Just another momentary lapse of reason.
