On Moto Control channel you will find videos about motorcycles, motorcycle riding techniques, tips & tricks and online motorcycle training for beginner and advanced riders!
A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

Andrei, you are knowledgeable, likeable, and have an excellent approach to teaching others. You do not need to use profane language or base terms for emphasis. It undermines your professionalism and credibility.
When are you planning to launch the "King of the Road" course? I'm eager to join, but being in Northern Europe I can start in Mid April earliest (May more realistically).

- supposedly an excerpt from an FBI interview in the late '80s woth a real KGB spy. Or so the internet would have us believe 🤔
Surprisingly, those hints are perfectly applicable outside of motorcycling world.
I think this is a topic missing for a lot of new riders -- shoot, it's missing for a lot of riders in general, and most people end up learning how to sort out the difference only through experience and seeing whose advice actually works.
“Take my sneaky KGB word for it”
NEEDS to be on some merch!!!!
One bad advice I got from a few ppl in my riding grp is that you should hold the handlebar tightly at high speeds for more control and to avoid wobbles. Having watched ur videos, I told them that's complete bs and provided the required explanation. Then they looked down on me and gave the usual " I have been riding for 15 yrs and know from experience. Kids these days get influenced by random youtubers." Those dudes had ridden a 125cc Hero Honda bike(the most selling bikes in India) for 15 yrs and think they have mastered all riding skills. I have bought a 350cc bike(Honda cb350) as my first bike and have been riding for a year now. Trust me, 300-500cc bikes are considered as premium(or middleweight) class in India. My riding grp largely comprises of cb350 owners. So yeah, in a way ppl in my grp consider themselves as pro riders bcz they own a 350cc bike, which will be beginner bike in any other part of the world..
Their experience may be correct for lighweight 150cc bikes. That doesn't make it correct for a GSXR750 or CBR1000.
God gave you knees to hold onto the bike, at any speed. That's why he gave engineers the wisdom to put nice comfortable grips on the tanks, back in the "olden days", and in more recent times, sculptured tank designs to aid gripping with your knees. The handlebars aren't some sort of grab rail, either. You don't hold onto them for dear life, you manipulate the controls on them with your hands/fingers and you manipulate the bars themselves to initiate turns.
You will most certainly find that your bike handles much better if you practice this. It's easier said than done, though. As a returning rider, I find myself falling into the trap of "hangin' on" at higher speeds. Self appraisal and self correction are a must.
Enjoy your bike. 350cc is more than enough for most riders around the globe if they're honest with themselves.

Question: It seems to me that countersteering occurs at all speeds. I don’t see a reason for physics to abruptly change at 15 mph. However, a lot of instructors teach that you direct steer at lower speeds.
It doesn't. And it's really not at all complicated. The physics are EXACTLY the same as body roll in a car. Except this time the body roll is intentional.
The difference speed makes is in the dynamics of what follows. When you're going fast, a little bit of motion causes a lot of lean, and there's a very strong restoring force trying to steer the front wheel into the turn (which would right the bike, if permitted). The small amount of motion required, together with the strength of that force, mean that you don't need to think about or do anything other than apply force to the bars. Often times the motion is entirely imperceptible.
At low speeds, that's all still present, but the magnitudes are different. Now it takes a lot of steering motion (but very little force) to initiate lean, and the restoring force is very small, due to the low speed. In practical terms that means you have to manually catch it (like drifting in a car), i.e. steer into the turn yourself, else the bike will keep leaning until it falls over.
The transition is not sudden, it's gradual. The speed at which you need to start making the conscious effort to catch the lean will be affected mostly by the strength of the death grip you have on the bars, but to a lesser extent also by the rake angle and drag in the bearings (and from cables/hoses/etc). 15mph is not a bad number to give to a n00b for this, as I'd expect a strong grip that will fight the dynamics at lower speeds, but that's nevertheless bad advice. The correct advice is to have the lightest grip possible while still in control of the bike.
For my bike and present skill level, 10mph is easily achievable, but at around 5-6 I need to actively manage the front wheel due to the amount of steering required vs the drag and inertia of the steering assembly. The transition occurs somewhere between those speeds.
At first I made a conscious effort to use countersteering to keep the bike balanced at low speeds, but now it's become muscle memory. Carrying a passenger also makes a difference, especially if that person isn't a good sack of potatoes. Every time they shift their weight it's on you to correct by countersteering accordingly, though again - this becomes self-correcting for me by about 10-15 mph.
Just to be clear, you will *always* initiate and control lean through countersteering. The only things that change with speed will be the forces, amount of steering required and strength of self-correction.
@@233kosta Thank you for your well structured explanation. In it I see the answer to another question (myth) I have. You said when you steer into the turn the bike wants to correct itself (I presume stand up and steer out of the turn) which meets counter steering works at lean as well. I have heard people say once leaned you are direct steering.
@@ciaravino20757 If you think about it, your centre of mass sits on top of a contact point, which is the directional control point in this case. If you shift that point to the left (by steering left), the top half will have to go right. That's because of inertia (Newton's 1st). Inertia causes the sum of all forces and moments on a body to effectively act through its centre of mass, unless said body is otherwise restrained. That's what makes it so difficult to fly a space ship, by the way.
A bike is restrained in a few ways - ground contact generally means no vertical motion through the pavement, only motion that follows it (excluding suspension dynamics for simplicity). Longitudinally, there are two contact points (front and rear wheel), which under most circumstances will direct forward motion exactly as one would expect (throttle = go, brake = no go). Laterally however, there is effectively only one point of contact, as the wheels move in line. This means rotation about the roll axis is completely free, whereas it is restrained about the other two axes (tyre friction prevents free rotation about the yaw axis, two tyres, front and rear, instead of just one, prevent free rotation about the pitch axis).
An unrestrained roll axis means that any lateral force applied away from the centre of mass will cause the bike to roll. We'd call that a rolling moment. That's what's happening when you countersteer - you pull the bottom in one direction, so the top *must* go in the other.
There's nothing silly going on. No smoke & mirrors. No gyroscopic trickery (though that does have an observable effect at higher speeds, albeit inconsequential to the method of riding). No weird physics things that magically switch on and off at different speeds. Best of all, you can go test it yourself. All you need is a bike. It doesn't even need an engine.
To clarify a couple points:
1. Technically, once you're in a turn, you kind of _do_ direct steer, insofar as the front wheel has to face into the turn to make the bike go around it. But the aforementioned dynamics will do that for you at speed. When going slowly, that's the part where you have to manually "catch" the lean before you fall over.
2. The "correct itself" part is nothing more than the front wheel effectively making itself direct steer, after the fact. So you're leaning already, and the fact that you're leaning causes the front wheel to want to (and in most cases - succeed to) steer itself into the turn. This is a direct consequence of the rake angle of your forks. It provides directional stability at speed, but also requires more force to tip the bike in. More rake = more stable, but also requiring more effort to turn at speed. Less rake = more agile and easy to tip in, but also requires you to be more delicate at speed.
In other words, depending on front end geometry and tyre profile, your bike is literally trying to countersteer itself upright. Well... in some circumstances. If there isn't enough rake and the tyres are very V-shaped, then a bit of countersteering starts the bike tipping over, and you must actively countersteer to stop it. Whereas if there's a lot of rake angle and the tyres are flat (i.e. more car-shaped, or worn flat from going mostly straight over long distances), then you have to actively countersteer to maintain lean, otherwise the bike will stand itself right back up. The happy medium in the middle (moderate rake, perfectly round tyre profile) results in a bike that takes little effort to tip in, and stays leaning until you countersteer to roll it upright. Usually manufactirers will tend to err on the side of stable, so with round tyres, most bikes will require just a little force on the bars in order to stay in the turn, and self-right slowly if you let go of the bars. Tip-in remains fairly easy too, though the bike is noticeably less eager to go on her side. This is to minimise risk to riders who are not equipped to handle the unstable scenario.
So, you see, it's possible that people have experienced a lot of scenarios where what they say makes perfect sense to them (i.e. you direct steer under 15mph, or when leaned, etc.) within the frame of reference of their own observations, without necessarily contradicting the physics, but most explanations given tend to be very lacking. What doesn't help at all is human perception. For instance, our brains commit countersteering to muscle memory as soon as we learn to ride our first bicycle, but none of us bother to think about or recognise it until we're on a machine that benefits from making a conscious effort to do it. And now that you know more about the physics involved, and what to look for, you can try it all yourself to verify.
6:02 I'm an off road motorcycle instructor for kids, and I agree, an explanation for everything is worth a 100x more than just telling them what to do, as most of them can figure out when to utilise the explained technique and figure out how it helps them, HOWEVER, sometimes a complicated, in depth, physics explanation is not conducive to teaching people the basics and simplified, or analogous examples/explanations are required, like the back brake stability rope one.
100% agree, drop that clutch!
Sound advice, once again. Thank you, possible non-KGB-agent.
great video! a good explanation about the "pro guy" its the Dunning Kruger effect
Great videos! Honestly, you deserve a lot more than 100k subscribers
Perfect, ALWAYS! Thanks again for great ,helpful advice 👍
Thanks for sharing this advice, comrade Andrei. 😝 In all seriousness, it's "coded" with safety tips that other instructors who are paying attention to the "key words" can implement for their own students to help them understand how good systems and principles will keep them safer on the road. 😊
Thank you. I truly enjoy your videos!
Thank you. Excellent content.
Wish every one a brilliant new safe year of riding.
Great advice. I remember a much more experienced rider than me, pulled me aside and gave me some friendly advice.
He said I followed you down the mountain and I noticed your brake light was on in all the corners. I advise you never to use your brakes in a corner. Do your slowing before the corner then don’t touch your brakes.
I responded that I was trail braking with my front brake.
His response: what is trail braking , been riding for thirty years, never heard of it.
I never listened to him any more.
And a point about counter steering doesn’t work at slow speeds. That’s BS.
When coming to a stop, I can guarantee I will always fall on to m left leg, if just momentarily before I completely stop, I turn my bars slightly to the right.
Counter steering in action at a near stop.
Many good points and one great advice, "Always ask why". And if still uncertain, ask why again. Ask why until you get the explanation you can understand or switch to instructor who can explain things in the way you understand.
Good stuff again, man! ❤
Great video, as always! 👍👍👍
A great explanation of how to judge the qualifications of an instructor. Much appreciated...comrade. 👍
The timing couldn't be better. I have many friends asking me if contents on YT or TT are legit. Your video is great example and a great pointer. Thank you.
Just saw that I didnt comment this video yet!
Perfect advice. this is the only channel I can recommend to 100%. With many other channels there were some details where I just can't agree with. E.g. the advice "loud pipes save lives" is still undebatable for some riders ... Well this one I won't test myself xD
I remember one of the instructors I had years ago, kept telling everyone to go faster, the thing though was he was even telling even the fast ones to go faster even though we were plenty fast to pass the tests. The head instructor had to get after him a bit, though to be fair we had a couple of riders who were definitely not fast enough (and neither of them passed the final exam) and were having difficulty overcoming their fear.
YOU ARE TELLING THE TRUTH ,REALITY ,THE EXPERIENCE YOU DEVELOPED IN YEARS OF PERSISTENT PRATICE..THATS WHY I LERNT AST BECAUSE ITS FACTS NOT FIXION..IMAGINATION..LOVE YOUANDREY AND TRUST YOU AS DEEPLY I BELIEVE IN MY OWN THANK YOU FOR BEING TEHBEST FRIEND,THE GREAT EXPERT AND A KIND HUMAN BEING WHO IS GENEROUS,HUMOUROUS AND VETY EFFECTICE AS A TEACHER VICTORY TO YOU BODROV SIR
When I was little they told me:
Front brake on asphalt and rear brake on gravel.
After decades of motorcycling experience I would say:
Always use both brakes if you know how to use them well, otherwise continue to follow the child's advice so that you don't make mistakes
Comrad, whether you’re KGB or not, as long as you don’t invade any nearby countries in your spare time, we love your entertaining and informative presentations. Thank you.

My dear Andrey,
every now and then I MUST look into your LESSONS because I still am a passionate biker
AND also interested in pedagogical precision a logical consequences.
And after my experience of 50 years and about half a million kilometres on two wheels I really must confirm:

Thank you buddy. 🙏🙏
You know a good instructor when you see one👌😎😎🔥🔥
I learnt to ride an analog bike and I ride an k5 gsxr 1000, it's an analog bike with no fancy electronics like abs or traction control and I prefer bikes like that.
Master, maximum respect for all the work and effort! Professional and extremely easy to understand. There is not a single useless word in your videos. No doubt you are the best coach as well. Can’t wait to the course. Do you have any info about when it will start?
Hi! I guess it will start towards the end of January
Cool! I will need some more winter gear I guess :)@@MotoControlEn
@ Maybe not, my exercises usually are sweaty enough, even without extra thermal layers😁 Full protection is very strongly recommended though
@@MotoControlEnsure master :)
Love your videos bro
Andrei simply spot on.
An instructor who rides a bike with ABS despite being against ABS usage may have disabled the ABS and bought the bike for reasons that have nothing to do with modern electronics.
He sure may have!
LOL you made my day with your "snaky KGB word " ... good job brother
Such an underrated video and channel
You are a fantastic instructor.
Funny how sometimes I just play your videos because you just sound nice 😅.
Great video, you deserve a lot more subscribers than the KGB allows you to have
Taking lessons at quality, well-established riding schools with provide a pretty good sense what is BS. The other surefire way is "stop talking, just show me".
as for ABS I learned to drive a car without ABS, and not all of the driving I did was on paved roads, the most spirited driving on loose surfaces was in a controlled environment, and against the clock, and prizes were given for being the fastest! I am perfectly happy without ABS, and I have found ABS to be a hinderance when the road is not paved. it stops the tyre digging down to the solid base where there is traction, and massively increases stopping distance as well as grip when it is needed. but on a wet paved road, there are times when you can be really glad you have it!
However, Here in New Zealand, if you want a NEW bike, you don't have a choice, ABS is mandatory on all NEW bikes sold for road use, NO ABS, NO registration! The only way around it is to Bypass the abs unit, but leave it installed, otherwise you will never be able to slide the back around, and stoppies will depend on you having the rear brake locked up so it doesn't play with the amount of brake you want at the front!
Thank you
Excellent. Give people a system to apply critical thinking. 👍
Yes you do provide complete explanation and argumentation. Jut keep it that way (until you get job in KGB) agent :)
That’s not riding advice, that’s life advice.
대단히 감사합니다.ㅎ
As an ex mosad myself listen to this guy, good advices.
A good rule of thumb is ignore advice from people who have had multiple crashes or falls. Get a quality, professional instructor and take advice from them.
Being a "good" rider doesn't always make a good instructor. Different skills.
the problem with countersteering is the TERM is incorrect, counter steering is what you do when a car is in a slide... it is also called Opposite lock!
and what instructors tell you to do is turn the wrong way so you fall over! when they should start by talking about the way Rally cars use the Scandanavian flick to turn the car one way so it turns back the other way faster, and use the rotation to induce a slide which then uses forward thrust to push them around the corner rather than use Lateral grip (of which there is very little compared to the self sweeping effect of a spinning tyre digging down to the solid base!) and then say that a slight turn the wrong way makes the bike lean faster so you can turn sooner & more accurately! but the way it is described is to lean one way, turn the other, and end up sliding down the road with a 200kg bike on top of your leg!
and speaking as a car mechanic now, are you aware that the rear brakes start working before the front when you push on the pedal?? it does slow the rear of the vehicle and help to maintain a straight line (unless you lock the rear up then it has the opposite effect) but the amount of brake required to help keep the vehicle in a straight line is dependent on many things, & over doing it will have bad consequences unless those consequences are expected, intended and needed for some reason! plus you have already said about using the rear brake for U turns, and stunters use it for wheelies. so saying it doesn't help with stability.. well maybe not to someone with limited experience, to someone who knows how it is the favoured method of stabilising everything including high speed steering wobble!
And now for the Pussy argument! while a Moped is limited to 45km/h and that is dangerous because car drivers want to go faster and literally push Mopeds off the road (by personal experience, and taking out the speed restrictor helped to no end) fast enough is better than too fast. but frame size and ergonomics are probably more important if you want to be safe. I tried out 3 very different bikes, a Gixxer 250, a V-Strom 250SX & an SV650.
the Gixxer250 was too small, my knees got trapped under the wings on the fuel tank and made foot movements difficult, despite it feeling like playing on a BMX, that puts the small bike way out of the question, even if the price was well under budget!
The V-Strom 250SX, with the same engine still feels light, but more like a large mountain bike compared to the BMX... It's workable but will take longer to get used to at low speed!
and then the wet dream... I mean the SV650. It looks so friggen awesome, it fits me perfectly and is by far the most comfortable of the 3. but it is more powerful and heavy... and to be honest, the fact it is the perfect size makes that extra weight so easy to control, It is easier to manoeuvre than the taller V-strom which weighs much less!
which way do I go? do I go for what feels so right? or do I go for what is inside the budget, despite probably wanting to upgrade in 6 months time... It's a tough call, but If I stay off the SV650's in the mean time, I may get the V-Strom... nope, I have to increase the budget and get the bike that FEELS RIGHT! and that's what I would recommend to others!
Teşekürler 🙏🧿🇹🇷🏍
its a simple fact small close area and slow speeds better control from opersite weight for control of cornering
I like my ABS, but im glad I learnt and rode for years without it, because I know how to brake safely without ABS. If you learn on a bike with ABS, chances are you'll lock up your tire at some point if you don't have it.
It's super cool that you are a KGB agent.
Hi! When are you starting your king of the road course? I’ve been signed up since day 1!
I think sometime in the middle or end of January, after everyone drank all their New Year's vodka🌲😁
smart dude
This KGB guy is awesome 😄
this is the only video I've ever seen where the guy shows his mistakes and dropped his bike. all the other videos doing parking lot drills are perfect demonstrations, I know they must drop their bike or blow out a cone sometimes, pushing the limits that hard... but they will never ever show that.
Is it just me or does it light anyone else's senses up when they see that yellow black and white block Kenny Roberts paint design on a tank?
Most advice is just what someone else did/does. People try to think what they did was right. The only experience related advice that is useful is the "dont do what I did" kind.
We live in advice epidemic. Every other post is a ostensibly a guru, professional or advanced instructor. Bikes are pretty objective but just remember the internet doesn't know you or your life. What's good advice for someone isn't good advice for everyone
Practice makes perfect.
i like watching all the youtube instructors but they all do it different and still get the same results. the two channels i like the best are this one and a channel called motor officer training.
When will "King of the Road" start?? I am ready for it ))) 🤔🤔🤔
I think towards the end of January, when all celebrations are over🎉🌲
You are the best CZcams instructorial channel by a country mile. Pity you moved to Argentina who’ve now picked up a clown as a president.

Are you living in Argentina? So you speak spanish! Haces cursos más al sur de Buenos Aires? Soy de Chile, pero me gustaría ir a un curso tuyo algún día.
Personally i dont see an issue with abs and traction control like the features are there to keep you alive why not take advantage of it
Follow your gut fell on advices, works for me when I started riding.
Best advice an intermediate rider can give a beginner is. Do a comprehensive rider course.
Oh man, I though I was going to finally get an explanation about the rear brake making the bike more stable. I asked at the last course I took and the instructor said, "It just does." Maybe I should take one of your classes! (Already bought the course, Training Routine. Well done!)
Mmm, im gonna trow a cheap fast incomplete kinda explanation on the rear brake making the bike more stable. When you use the front brake, you compress the front suspension and the rear gets lose, as a result your weight goes to the front and the bike is in a "unbalanced" state. When you add rear brake while using front brake, you compress the rear suspension and release some pressure from the front suspension easing the weight on the front and horizontally aligning the chassis of the bike. Only front brake makes rear lose and all weight moves forward, only rear brake makes braking slower cause weight will still be on the front (bike going forward) and this making it weaker and prompt to sliding (cause it cant keep the whole eight of the bike in forward motion). So, both front and rear keeps bike straight and front suspension at ease. Of course theres a whole topic on how much pressure will be needed on each circumstance and on emergency braking, but that will take a video and not a comment on the comment section (and this went way to long anyway XD)
Main advantage the rear brake has is that it will bring the bike up straight and keep it there (aka stability) which is useful when coming to a stop in a corner, and generally not dropping the bike at a stop. Plus it gives you maximum braking potential.
You can see an example of use of the rear brake to stabilize the bike at 3:00. He is using a combination of throttle, clutch, and rear brake to keep the bike from falling while doing a tight turn.
@@neonsamurai1348 No, that is the front brake that will bring the bike straight up in a corner, the rear will keep the angle of the bike in the corner. at slow speed it is the throttle that keep the bike from falling. Tht's why you play with both the throttle and rear brake during slow speed exercises. That's why it is recommended to slow down with the rear brake if you are entering a corner with too much speed, this way you keep the leaning angle and the control of the motorcycle.
@@jeckjeck6943Sorry mate I don’t agree with you. You advise riders to use the rear brake in a corner and they will very likely high side the bike. One has very little feel of the pressure applied with the foot. Conversely, the fingers can feel the front brake pressure precisely. That is part of the reason trail braking is used with the front brake in corners.
Stab the front brake in a corner and you’re likely to low side the bike. Gentle progressive pressure is required on the front brake to have full control in a corner, particularly if one is going downhill.
@@murraycharters6102a small clarification: you mention stabbing the front brake leads to a low-side. That’s true on the road, but opposite off-road: knobby tires on dirt bikes w tall suspension can *really* over-perform - stab the front brake and the steering compresses, tilting you forward, so even more force drives the front tire to grab hard, and you high-side. On the road, tho, stabbing the front brake typically applies more force than the contact patch grip can handle, and the tire slides out = your low-side.
I’m pricing a flight and coming for some lessons 🤓

As a motorcycle safety instructor working in the US, I am constantly working to improve my skills and knowledge so I can be the best teacher I can possibly be for my students. I was glad to watch this video and feel like I'm one of the good ones... or at least trying to be. Maybe Andrei can decide and give me his personal stamp of approval!

How’s rear break helps stabilizing the bike? I tried it, felt it, but haven’t found the explanation for it. I checked google and CZcams with no success =(
Hi! I have a vid on this subject: czcams.com/video/M06ZJm0RJbE/video.html
TLDR: Basically, it keeps our whole transmission loaded one way only, plus keeping a tiny amount of rear brake lets us keep our throttle slightly open, without our engine jerking when it goes from fully closed to crack-open throttle. It requires good coordination between throttle and rear brake to really benefit from it. That's during normal riding. When riding super-slow in the friction zone, the rear brake gives us only SENSE of more stability, allowing us to compensate for the lack of clutch finesse with the rear brake (in most severe case student can cook the clutch by using too much rear brake & throttle and releasing the clutch too far). Once we get more and more proficient with the clutch - we use rear brake less and less.
@@MotoControlEn thanks a lot for your reply! Ill definitely check out the video
I wonder may be rear break also causes the geometry of the bike to change by loading the rear suspension?
Btw due to enduro riding I’m good enough with managing clutch, however, I still feel the stability when using rear break for low speed stuff
lol I know a guy who rides with a car tire on the rear, crazy bastard.
Somebody told me I had to put premium fuel in my Honda grom yesterday 😅

Do you sell Moto Control shirts?
I think I do, but I'm not sure if it works, I haven't actually sold one yet🙃 When you click on my channel there will be "store" tab. Shirts should be there!
Sometimes no advice is the worse advice. When I tried to get my licence a long time ago when I was an absolute beginner, the riding school instructors were shit, something I realised years later with some more knowledge and experience. Their "teaching method" was basically telling you you're doing it wrong, but never telling you why. If I've gotten a dollar for every time they just said "just do it again", Ibwould be a rich man. Now I understand that them not saying what you were doing wrong was their method becoming rich men. Less progress=more lessons=more money to them.
Comrade Vladimir would be proud of you. 😂
I'll take ABS & TC, but I cannot stand electronic throttles. Keep yer rider modes and give me a good cable throttle, please and thank you 😊
On my vehicle (very powerful) you can select 3 control response modes....with the wire it would be impossible to do this, you would be forced to have a wired control with a very long stroke to manually recreate certain situations of use.
@@micromymario23 I'd rather be able to feel the raw behaviour of the engine. The precision will come from me either way.
