- This quick video covers two techniques that any rider can use to improve both your confidence and bike placement on downhill or certain long, fast entries that don't allow for full brake pressure. @gasonbikeup-motorcycles produces videos to show how the same techniques that are used by MotoGP and World Superbike riders can translate to all riders, track or street. If you're interested in road racing, track days, or simply how to get the most out of your sport bike this video is for you! You'll learn from Eric Wood, the head coach for the oldest motorcycle track training school in the United States. In this video, we discuss a common problem that affects both top racers and street riders when they need to stop the bike as quickly as they can. The solutions to better braking may surprise you!

Scrubbing too much speed is something I’ve been struggling with for a while. I will give this a try! Thanks you
Good stuff, will give this a shot
This!!
perfect for the shitty public B roads where i ride ! esp after raining or a windy day with organic slop mixed iwth rain on the surface...
Sounds like fun😊. But you are correct. When grip conditions are less than ideal, this is an important tool in your riding toolbox.
This all sounds so familiar..... 🤔
Thanks Eric, looking forward to applying this in a couple weeks.
Best of luck! Let me know how it works

Awesome video series! Thank you!
When approaching a fast corner and rolling off throttle before the turning or while turning and rolling off into the apex?
I typically do this as I turn in - all in one motion. Of course every corner is different for specific applications but as a general rule I release throttle and apply brakes all in one motion
Like going into turn #3 at Grattan (CW)?
Have not been to that track - but if it’s a downhill entrance or one that forces you to turn a bit as you roll off the gas, then yes!
Could an example of this be turn 9 at Loudon ?
Yes sir. Coming over the hill is a perfect place to employ this technique!
