High End custom Suits, Street Jackets, and Street Gloves available as well
These are my favorite exercises for new riders in parking lots to practice as they cover all controls minus shifting* (I'll make a separate video to cover shifting, good chance you're over thinking it). Cones and markers are fantastic for improving your proficiency and I recommend them to all but know many will never bring them/use them which I completely understand.
One more note I forgot, spend as much time doing circles and slowly playing with the controls as you need to feel confident in yourself, an hour in a parking lot is worth 10hrs on the streets for control and confidence.
@MotoJitsu And again I can't recommend this channel, his app and drills enough to all new riders.

Thanks! And that's why I put the parking space drills into the app...no need for cones or tape measure. And you're not a nerd by setting up cones...you're the opposite for not giving a shit about what other people think for improving your skills.
Cheap advice for a very low risk method to learn slow speed motorcycle handling: ride figure 8s on your bicycle. Motorcycles and bicycles steer the same way. If you're going to go "blah blah countersteering," GET ON A BICYCLE, go straight down the road, and give it a counter steer push. Holy shit, it leans and turns like a motorcycle.
Hey Skyoom!
I'm a beginner and the place where I live is in the mountains full of (downhill and uphill), so I wanted to get the take of better riders to avoid newbie mistakes.
Can you make a video about taking on this types of road?
Love your videos, man! Keep it up!
Thank you got it ✍️
Thanks for the video! Last year I've got CBR 125 and I'm still learning after a thousand miles of riding last autumn.
I've seen the bible of cornering for like 20 times and I've got a notepad just for my notes.
You'll be learning after 10 years. It's something you can appreciate for life.
I liked that you used an awful parking lot. I ride throughout winter in the top north east and that stuff is my day to day alongside crater sized pot holes. Drives me crazy when people act like a few pebbles or a dash of sand ruins the entire road surface and makes doing anything difficult just totally impossible. It just takes practice. Those lot conditions were what I leanred to ride in. It definitely takes some silly things off the menu and certainly isnt anyones optimal ride but it adds a unique and interactive nuance to messing around on the bike with some free time. If you can do it easily there then you can be well sure you can feel totally braindead comfortable doing it on a clean surface.
Tell me sir, with that combination of camo jacket, pink/teal gloves and orange bike, are you trying to be visible or not?
Just kidding, i love your videos. Love from Croatia
You always explain things so well. Are any maintenance videos coming?
Thank you 🙂. And unfortunately for me, but fortunately for my dealers, nope. My best work has all been done by dropping my bike off at the shop and ends at me giving them money and never even thinking of touching it hahaha
I can give S tier advice on how to strip screws and over tighten bolts tho 😂
@skyoom1 yea, I have no idea what I'm doing. I was able to change chain and sprockets but can't get everything back together right haha
@@skyoom1 Stripping screws and overtightening bolts? My employer would like to talk to you. They love hiring people who do that.
I just passed my MSF course and need to do this along with other MotoJitsu stuff on my bike
As a newbie rider, I freakin love all your videos!
Great freaking video! So many things that are not recycled information in every other video out there. Confidence stopping mid corner is something I need to work with.
12:10 great exercise for the city.
Great video. I am one of those people who practices without the cones as I simply don't own them. When I go out to practice on a parking lot (and there's maybe one decent enough to practice around my area) I do pretty much what you've demonstrated. figure of 8, trying to do full lock circles, do emergency braking to improve my braking distance. Turtle racing is also very important, especially for those who filter. After getting a new motorcycle, I was scared of filtering, where I have done a fair bit on my previous one. After spending maybe an hour or two on a parking lot practicing slow speed stuff, I got so much confidence.
I'll be getting some cones soon maybe
I love and watch all your videos. BTW you sound like Obama
Thank you again Skyoom!!!
Really appreciate these videos, it helps a lot when you see how it's done, rather than being scared, making mistakes and getting corrected, which in some cases makes things even more difficult and stressfull. I'm currenty taking my riding courses, and I believe that my instructor doubts a bit that I've never been on a bike before 😅
🙂. I try my best to stay towards the more positive "what you should do" rather than "not do". I'm the same way where I'll focus so hard on the "dont do's" I'll make mistakes elsewhere which then messes everything up haha
I also won't ever edit out mistakes of my own and if I can I'll try to point them out since one frustration I've always had with online tutorials/advice is when you can tell someone had to run it back 10x to get the clip they wanted and then talk like they have a 100% hit rate.
im loving your stuff. Ive gotten very comfy with my rc390 and love to do twisties. Could you do a video on twisties with a low cc bike?
great vid!
Once again, Skyoom I love you
Love your videos.
Great.
Thanks for your candid honesty
Full lock does just that
Sucks.. 😅
And is that Sand?? Omg
I always tell new riders to practice emergency braking. It's easy to go fast, hard to slow down fast.
Love the videos bro. Got my new 2023 R7 a month ago and then lost my license for 3mths,which I new was coming up, so I’m watching as many videos as I can to try and keep it all fresh as possible in my mind. It will feel like starting all over again which will be fun. Until then I guess I’ll just keep washing the bike for the in between.
Why/howd you lost your license??
@@skyoom1 dimerit points. Delivery driver 🤨
You're far better than MotoJitsu at information delivery. Dude needs to learn from you.
I'm curious...to what building is this parking lot connected? Or is it just like a standalone parking lot?
PS. Great videos 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Shes a Boat ramp haha
One thing that I would mention, try to gives a break to yourself and the bike when practicing. Clutch and brake can get hot and you make more mistake when tired
You're never going to make the brakes hot in parking lot practice. Motorcycle brakes are amazing at keeping cool unless you're racing on track.
Clutch, yeah. Don't slip the clutch for hours.
What gloves are those 👀
Love the display…. What make and model is your bike?
2023 Ktm 390 duke
@@skyoom1 that screen looks great! Heard the 2024 has a bunch of updates including a smoother quick shifter!
@@DogMania I sat on a 2024 about a month ago and I'm very glad I got the 2023 model for the blowout sale price. 2024 they made the seat insanely skinny. New screen definitely looks better than mine though
And thank god I don't think itd be possible to make a worse quickshifter than this one 😂
@@DogMania The 2024 bike is a lot heavier. Who cares what the screen looks like, you shouldn't be looking at it when you're riding anyway.
What bike ?
One question
Are u straighten the bike on the stop out of the turn
U did say bike will stand up but what about that never use front brake if bars aren’t straight?
Urgh 😅
Does your bike run hot while doing these drills? I have a z400 and that bikes hates parking lot drills.
Yea it's normal same with my 1000cc
You can hear the rad fan, these little Dukes do run hot.
TAKE THE MSF!
The motojitsu drills are much harder than the MSF requirement imo
@@krisswolf2011 ik but MSF still helps new riders and u get ur license
@@sriavula true. Plus its cheaper to take the MSF and realize motorcycle is not for you, than to buy a whole motorcycle then realize that.
@@krisswolf2011 yea exactly, there was this one girl in my class who dropped the bike 3 times and just didn’t even show up day 2
@@krisswolf2011 So what? Take the MSF course. Get coaching feedback. When I did it, you didn't have to take the DMV test when you passed.
I used the course as a way to figure out if I'd like motorcycles, having never ridden one before. Took the course 18 years ago. I definitely liked riding motorcycles.
Idk why but right hand turns full lock was always easier than left. Ig it just depends on the person
New rider, can confirm ahaha
That's crazy cause I'm the opposite. My left turns are way better than my right
Everyone has a favored direction.. thats just how the body works
@@Giggles62 Might be eye dominance. I have the feeling people might prefer going in the direction of their dominant eye, because going in the other direction, you're basically looking over your own nose.
Left is easier for me because i can control the throttle better when im moving that way.
Hey, Skyoom. Would love to affiliate with you on our air pump+Jump starter. Is there a way to connect with u?
Checked the product and as someone with 3 plugs in his car tire currently and someone who lived with a parasitic drain on a car for years absolutely 😂.
I'm going to email the marketing email from your page now 🙂
@@skyoom1 I replied to your email, And waiting to proceed
why you did not bring your liter bike for the parking lot exercise. Motojitsu did not answer my questions but he has a big mouth of discriminating riders citing their complaints about bikes, but he also does not have balls to demonstrate the slow speed turns in the parking lot.
Motojitsu is full of himself
I like to bring the ktm for the more general topics/exercises since supersport ergos need more specific attention pointed out towards them.
But I have parking lot exercises for supers on the list 🙂, it will involve cones though so forgive me there
Dude does super complex slow speed on a 1250GS, what do you mean?
@@MrWolf2212he replied to my question once, his tone felt condescending, but I did what he suggested anyway and I feel it helped my slow speed maneuver skills
@krisswolf2011 he's a Marine.. And if I remember right, he was also a Drill Instructor. Some of us tend to be rough around the edges and have a no BS disposition. In other words, we can come off as an asshole to anyone on the outside or, a bit more... malleable around the edges. He's a great teacher though. My MSF instructor completely switched gears from soft spoken and gentle to rough once he found out I was a vet as well. 😂😂
Didn't bother me a bit. In fact, it made it much easier to understand. Everyone is different and I get how that mentality can come off bad to a civilian but, we are what we are.
Thanks to your advice, I bought a ZX-10R and lived. 😊 keeping it slow (under 130)
