I and had an amazing opportunity to ride with Dani Pedrosa and Mika Kallio at Jerez. The day got even better when Dani offered some riding tips on how to improve my body movement in the saddle. I'm so happy to share these lessons with you and I hope you find them valuable and can apply them in your own riding.

Ktm did a good job to get him after Honda.
I,m a big Pedrosa fan and i am the same height and weight as him, what he does and the way he rides is really really inspiring and you can tell by everyones pink admiring faces in your vlog that they feel honoured just to be in his company and they hang on his every wise word lol. Thank you so much for this and big big thanks to Dani Pedrosa.Sweet.
He is an inspiration! Thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed this experience with me!
so glad I stumbled upon your video. What an experience!
thank you for watching!!! I hope it was helpful. :)
抓到野生13N:))
That smile the whole time! Lol I love how in awe you were of the whole thing.
I love learning and couple that with learning from one of my favorite riders of all time - unforgettable moment.
Best motorcycle video I've seen in a great while. Dani is a cool guy, very gracious. Congrats.
Thanks very much Georgios :)
Dani Pedrosa is one of the most technical and finest riders ever. His technique and driving precision are outstanding.
I wholeheartedly agree, I believe it's a big part of his success and also a requirement given his stature. I cannot comprehend how he pilots the MotoGP MONSTERS. Just unbelievable talent and skill.
The fact that you got a video showing riding tips from Dani Pedrosa alone is enough for a sub! Fantastic job my man!
Really appreciate that, thank you 🙏
Something we're teaching ever since, right here in California. An entire dedicated Body Positioning class at Superbike-Coach Corp
That’s awesome, thank you for sharing!
Danie pedrosa
Un super pilote et un très grand monsieur 😍😍😍
Dani is so down to earth.
He was really cool and very approachable. He was definitely the highlight of the experience!
Great video man and how lucky are you to have gotten advice from a Legend. We all know Dani's luck stopped him from being 2 time MotoGP champ.
Thank you, certainly the best experience for me as a rider. Dani is definitely the best rider to have never gotten the championship; but he's always been favorite rider just because of how he carries himself. Amazing guy.
Thanks for watching and I hope it was helpful.
Thanks for sharing!!! What a great guy... I wish Dani could teach me... Great pictures in the background. Your dog... brilliant!!! Looking forward to the next upload. Thanks for taking one for the team ;)
So awesome Dani. I'll take mental notes. Thank you both!
Appreciate that, thank you 🙏
To have such an amazing opportunity, so fortunate.
Happy for you 👍🏻
Thank you so much Karl, very kind comment. I feel incredibly grateful for the experience and opportunity to share with everyone. Will cherish it for the rest of my life, I can guarantee you that!
I hope you subscribe and enjoy some more adventures I have lined up. :) Thanks again.
So glad you took this one for the team champ! Your willingness to learn even after such a blunder showed very clearly in the video. I'm sure you'll be adopting the strategies offered by Dani subconsciously in no time. Liked and subscribed. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Derick, very much appreciate your thoughtful comment and subscription!
Hahaha a teaching session with dani pedrosa is a dream come true 💓
I agree with you 100% thank you :)
I wish he won a premier class championship - he won a lot of races. I did a track day last season at Thunderhill West-Track with Tony Elias - it's amazing being around world class motogp racers.
Totally agreed, there was a fun interview with current motogp riders testing their knowledge of past class champions, and many of them assumed Dani had won a championship for good reason! That is super cool you got to share the track with Tony Elias. They are on an entirely different planet of skill levels!
You’re quite humble, good quality to have, it’s where personal growth is found. Also how lucky to have received his impromptu tutorial/insight. Hope your bike didn’t suffer too much damage. Another good video keep up the good work👍
thanks so much. Motorcycles, to me, are all about Fun AND Learning :) There's so much to see, learn, do, and learn.
Thanks for the encouragement!
thank you for sharing some of Dani with us!!!!!!!
thanks so much for watching, really glad you enjoyed it :)
another reason why i always train my adductor and abductor thigh muscles in the gym
That was incredible, thank you!
Thanks so much for watching Sierra, really hope it was valuable to you!
Also hope you subscribe to the channel; I've got some pretty fun things coming up that I think you might enjoy! :)
such a great guy of you! Being very very lucky to have the opportunity to own this bike, having trained exclusively by the legend, then you share the footage of the lesson to us. Not all of us have chance like you. Thank you!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind comment and hope it helps you out as a rider! We all share the same passion of motorbikes!
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing your story too
Thanks so much for watching :)
I didn’t appreciate Dani enough when he was racing. Always overshadowed but he’s world class, for sure.
I hear you. It just speaks to how insanely talented and competitive the field is.
My first time seeing Dani riding was MotoGP at Laguna Seca in 2013 and absolutely *blew* my mind how good he and the other riders were. Immediately signed up for a trackday the next day and never looked back. It was such a dream come true to finally be able to meet him 8 years later and he is indeed a class act.
Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you subscribe!
New subscriber and don’t stop the content-this was perfect!!
Appreciate that, thank you 🙏
That’s so cool...What an awesome chap Dani is
He is *such* a class act and kind person. I can't imagine a more laid back and approachable MotoGP rider to spend a day at the track with.
Thanks for watching and hope you subscribe!
Great Video. Pedrosa is a beast. Thanks for uploading.
Another master class from Mr.Pedrosa. What a friendly guy to hang around with.
Absolutely, he’s an amazing athlete and very chill guy. I can’t imagine a better MotoGP rider to hang out with. :)
Great, insightful video with one hell-of-a Dani Pedrosa kicker! No shame in exploring the limits on a track day and you did it unscathed. Tips from Dani - thats pure gold. Well done.
thanks so much! I'm happy I was able to take it out there and use the bike as it was intended. hope you subscribe to the channel!
Thank you for sharing this. Danny is such a cool guy, and so are you.
thank you so much for the kind comment, I hope my videos are enjoyable and helpful to you!
Great video! Thanks for sharing
thanks so much for watching, hope you subscribe!
Thank you for sharing
Those KTM's are stunning.
thank you! they are *gorgeous* in person, I was excited from the press photos but in person we were *giddy*.
hope you subscribe! :)
Awesome Viet. Thanks for sharing!!
thank you! really hope you found it helpful for your own riding. :)
Thank you for sharing. I just want to see more of that bike! Great attitude to keep learning. I am myself heading to Champs school in december
I've got you! I'm putting together a video of the entire customer delivery experience with the very first shots of the RC 8C and what it was like to see all 25 + Dani and Mika's at Jerez. I was informed by KTM that the RC was shipped out this week and my friend in Belgium confirmed that his RC just arrived at his local dealer; I'm in the US so I think it will take just a little longer.
I hope you have a great time at Champs school!
Thanks for this video ! Basically when a man like Dani Pedrosa speaks, one listens !!! :) just subscribed.
Thanks Robert! Totally agree with you; I hope you found the lesson helpful. :)
@@vtranmoto very helpful. I made sure I saved that video so I can watch it again
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Wow to have the expert advice from a MotoGP superstar and all for free too. Dani is the man, so I hope you have listened to him well, executed the body positioning the right way like the pros. I enjoyed the video too
Thanks Gio! Yes, Dani is 100% The Man. I worked diligently on his lesson (and still do) and I was gushing with pride when he told me towards the end of the day that I had improved my transitions between turns 2 and 3. It's something I think about alot now, how to be more efficient on the bike and using my legs/core instead of forcing turns with my arms/upper body.
Hope you subscribe, I have some very fun bikes arriving soon! :D
I definitely like your humbleness
Turns out i've been doing what Dani taught in this video unconsciously. But great video, man!
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching :)
That’s what I do naturally. Thanks for the upload. I like Dani
awesome! I think it makes a lot of sense intuitively; it's "just" more efficient movement. Thanks for watching :D hope you subscribe sir!
Really enjoyed this vid. Thanks for posting.
Thanks so much for watching :)
Hope you subscribe! I’m working with more pro-riders to provide additional coaching videos. Thanks again!
@@vtranmoto I have subscribed and look forward to more interesting vids. Greetings from the UK!
@@mike748golfsmith thank you very much for your support! I’ll be in Europe next year for a few trackdays and the Finland MotoGP round. Will try and make it to the UK as well! :)
Awesome content. Thank you for sharing
so glad you found it enjoyable/valuable, thank you for watching! hope you subscribe. :)
That's a great masterclass; congratulations for your experience and enjoy your bike ;)
Thank you so much, really appreciate your comment Xavi! Thanks for watching as well and hope you subscribe!
awesome instruction. luv Dani. ty for this.
Thanks so much, Dani is an absolute legend.
Hope you subscribe, I have some very fun bikes arriving soon :)
@@vtranmoto : subscribed !!
@@Aberamentho2010 Whoo!!! Thank you thank you!!
Dude, awesome seeing you doing these videos! And, oh, man, not only scored an RC 8C, but also getting in on the European delivery AND getting instruction by Dani.... double icing on the cake.
I met you at the Katy mini track a year ago. Been seeing you at MSR and COTA.
One request, though. Since I'm slow at reading, try and keep the pictures, diagrams, emojis, and text a bit longer on screen. I have to keep replaying to read. Ha, ha. Otherwise, great work. You're inspiring me to give this bike vlog thing a try.
hey Ben!!! thanks man. It's been a whirlwind of a year. Will do on the diagrams/emojis :D sometimes I try to be too clever lol. Hope you to see you out on track soon! we'll be at MSRH on Wednesday if you wanna tag along!
@@vtranmoto Would love to ride Wed, but I'm taking a break right now. Appreciate it, thanks.
I took a spill on my Tuono Factory on Nov 28 near Livingston. Healing from 4 broken ribs, broken clavicle, and broken wrist. I'll be back soon, though.
Gives me joy to see you and other good people living it up!
@@BenManrriquez holy crap man, I’m sorry to hear that but I’m glad it sounds like you’re healing. Stay positive! You’ll be back in the saddle soon enough. Hope to see you soon and Merry Christmas!
Hey, super video. You are also a great person in that you set aside your pride and share this story so we all can learn. KTM are a great company. I took delivery of a new rc8r in 2010 and did a ktm sponsored race school at Laguna Seca. A great experience that improved my riding forever.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment. :) I am always looking to learn, it brings me a lot of joy. That's so awesome you got to ride your RC8R at Laguna at the KTM school! Fantastic experience I'm sure.
Hope you subscribe to the channel and I will try my best to continue to put out great content, thank you!
What an awesome experience!
Thanks so much, it truly is an experience that I’ll cherish.
Hope you subscribe, thanks again! :)
Thanks man👍
My pleasure, thank you for watching Diego!
This is LEGIT! Thank you Viet!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching Tai!
I love your pup!
thank you Blake! she is the sweetest doggo. Wonderful track dog. :D
Priceless!
Thank you, definitely an experience of a lifetime for me :)
Thank you for the video. This is how I ride as I took the California Superbike school. Of course I am not in any way close to Danys performance or skills, but I can confirm that it works for the average rider or enthusiast 😁
sick bro! thx for taking one for us lol. that's a dream to meet and be coached by him. I have a new found respect for him, he's chill AF. ride safe!
haha, it's my honor to take one for the team. :D
Big Thank You & Pedro's teaching!
Thks #Viet Tran ride video
Thanks so much for watching! Hope you subscribe :)
Great video & good save, glad your new bike was okay 👍
Thanks so much! I was determined to not put it down haha. Thanks for watching :)
Very cool experience.
Thank you thank you! An unforgettable experience for me. :)
What a cool video! Always been a big Dani fan, he really is a good at explaining things as well like you said.
Thanks so much for watching, totally agree with you. He's a class act and just a cool guy to have met and ride with.
Hope you subscribe and stick around for more adventures! :)
@@vtranmoto I agree completely, I always looked at him as one of the really good guys in the paddock.
Yes I did subscribe, on both of my accounts ;) looking forward to more videos🍻
@@casual9982 cheers, thank you thank you! :)
(How bout Dani's ride at Jerez '23!)
I cannot believe i just got a track lessen from Dani freakin Pedrosa!! For free!! Thank you for that! I'm a subscriber now just because of that and will practice exactly what he said.
Glad you found the content useful! Dani’s ride at Jerez ‘23 was spectacular. Imagine being a test pilot and showing up as a wildcard and consistently finishing top 10 both in ‘22 and ‘23. There’s good reason he is a LEGEND!
Valuable lessons from Dani. He rubbed shoulders with Simoncelli.
He’s an awesome talent and very kind person to come by and help us out. :)
Thanks for sharing that! I'm a huge fan of Mr. Dani Pedrosa. I learn something about leaving your butt there on the same turn. Little movements as possible.
Thanks so much for watching and I’m glad to hear you got something out of it as well :)
Hope you subscribe to the channel, I have some really cool bikes arriving and fun content coming up. Thanks again!
@@vtranmoto already subscribed
@@Cris-fp9fq thank you so much for your support! :)
Super, Racer Super, Trainer, Dani.👌
Thank you. I think it’s natural to do this for the quick changes of direction, however for the times with some delay between corners this is great to practice. 😊
I agree, I think much of riding is intuitive or when you think about it, it all “makes sense” but to execute it and to execute it well…that takes practice.
Thank you for watching!
@@vtranmoto agreed, always practicing with intention.
One thing I’ve always tried to work on is to keep at least one knee in contact with the tank at all times. ✌🏻
You got tips from Dani!!!
Yes :) a surreal experience, thanks for watching!
Good advice no doubt.
I noticed you said you want to practice and become more fluid. That's obviously super important for anybody reading this. You can do everything Dani mentions, and it'll probably help a bit, but if you want to take full advantage of these techniques you've gotta be buttery smooth and you've gotta serve the machine you're riding. It'll tell you when to move, for example in the consecutive turns I feel like my head follows the front tire and that helps my movement follow the bike's.
Thanks for watching! Great observation with the “head follows the front tire”.
Legendary knowledge. Even if it’s a simple tip, you can’t deny his experience and results.
Absolutely. When Pedrosa teaches, we listen. Thanks for watching :)
Hope you subscribe!
@@vtranmoto done.
@@zzrGUY12 thank you!!!
Great rider and great video, thanks for sharing this. And your dog is even more chill than Dani.
Forgot to mention, for track riding you should check out two books, Twist if the wrist by Keith Code and more so, Motovudu by 500 GP winner Simon Crafar, which is also on DVD, he goes over what Dani was talking about and much more.
@@MotoChatter thank you! Simon is fantastic, I watched his videos on Jerez before I got to Spain to help get acquainted with the track and ended up watching all of his videos on CZcams haha.
We’re lucky we live in the digital age where so much amazing knowledge is readily available! :)
"Can i use this bike?"
"You can take it home if you will, kind sir!"
hahahaha! exactly. :D
Funny enough, I asked Dani what bikes he owns and he said he doesn't own any bikes, people just lend him or give him their bikes to ride! How cool is that!!!
hope you subscribe! :)
Very good lesson! I actually just had a coach with P.R.E. (East coast) tell me this exact same thing before bumping me to A group!
yes! efficiency/economy of movement is such a great universal concept. It's also applicable to other sports: martial arts and even musical instruments. love it and congrats on the bump! :)
Great
thank you :) hope you subscribe!
@@vtranmoto 1st thing I did when I saw Dani, lol.
@@proto7688 yessss thank you thank you :)
The Little Samurai
Great story brother!!
Thank you thank you :)
For a smaller guy it’s impressive how easily he can control and move a 240+Bhp GP bike… Cool information, we all continue to learn
absolutely surreal how he can pilot the motogp bikes. thanks for watching and hope you subscribe!
Was anyone else checking the pooch’s breathing in the back? Awesome to see a legend sharing knowledge.
I kept watching to see anything move.
Dani is an awesome Ambassador for KTM.
Absolutely agree with you, his presence at the release made it exciting and his willingness to ride with your average riders like myself made it unforgettable.
Dude! You are lucky!
Thank you! I’m very grateful that’s for sure! :)
man to ride Jerez it must be a great experience.
Thank you, it absolutely was. I asked Dani what his favorite track is and he paused and said Jerez was one of them. Having come from US tracks, the surface condition and track quality of Jerez is incredible. Also the design and flow of the track itself is not “difficult” but flows nicely and really feels like a motorcycle track. It’s fantastic.
I shared more about the delivery experience here as well www.reddit.com/r/motogp/comments/qz5h9c/i_bought_the_new_ktm_rc8c_and_rode_with_dani/?.
Thank you and hope you subscribe to the channel! :)
I’ve been staying on the right for double rights on my local track. I thought I was just being lazy and saving energy. Turns out I was smarter than I thought.
Haha you sound like you’re in tune with your movement, well done! :D
I have a Request : a full basics on how to ride from head to toe . Please ask Dani or every gp rider u have a chance to talk to and compile all the lessons .
And 2nd request if u can ,please ride a vyrus m2 and motoinnos ducati if by any chance u go to Europe and Australia and tell us what it feels like.
Do try it if possible.
you cant ask them because for them its a natural flow, as they have been doing it for so long. they cant explain it to you step by step.. this is how a conversation should go with one of these riders... "so, please explain how to ride so fast?" ; and "how do you do it?" "well its easy , you get on a bike at 5 years old and just ride" ... "but , i am not 5 years old " ... "well give me a cut of 42,000 and i will pretend to tell you how". dont ask the pros how they ride, once you get out there and do it you will know . a couple of vids and a couple of seesions with a fast rider will be enough to show you
So cool! Not very many people get one on one coaching with professional racers. By the smiles on your face it looks like you thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm jealous! Lol
No need to prove anything to anyone though. I've seen you ride and you're better than 95% of the people out there. You and Peter both are.
If my dog wasn't lying against my leg right now I would have thought you stole her! 😉 cute baby!
thanks James :) appreciate it. A *huge* part of my love for riding is the challenge of improving technique and understanding and it was so amazing to learn first hand from Dani.
Pitbulls are the best! :D
thông tin bổ ích, không phải lúc nào cũng có cơ hội tiếp xúc với tay đua đẳng cấp thế giới như thế này!.
Do la mot ky niem kho quen cua anh, cam on!
wow....was this the "european delivery" option on the new RC8C????....dude.....what a priceless experience mazel tov 😅
Yessir :) we learned that those spots sold out in 1 minute 10 seconds so we were extremely lucky to be one of the 25 customers. Thanks for watching!
Dani Pedrosa as a teacher what you want more
Agreed :) thank you for watching, hope you subscribe to the channel!
Daniiiiiii
Yes!!! The one and only :) thanks for watching my friend!
Hay quá a
Cam on :):)
we wanna see a full onboard lap on your RC8C
Hi Arthur, here’s footage of me riding with Pedrosa czcams.com/video/JlQJW1ncW1w/video.html
Sadly the footage is overexposed as I didn’t have my GoPro filter that day. I’ll still cherish the memory forever though :)
I'd like to know what the differences are between the Kramer GP2R and the RC8C, is it purely the fairings and areo or is there something else too?
Hi Flying Badger, great question. Mechanically it’s the same. The difference is the fairings and aero package (wings and underscoop, have a look beneath the swingarm near the rear wheel) and a new airbox. We asked Markus if it makes any difference and the response was “maybe a little but it looks really cool!”. Hahaha :)
You are credited in a photo in the latest Roadracing World magazine (Nov 21) on page 22.
thanks John, pretty fun experience :) funny story, Chris Ulrich, the writer/editor at RW was a pro-racer when I was a novice in AFM out in California and I'd hear his name a lot in the paddock. While I was at Jerez, there were only a handful of us Americans so I asked who this random fellow was and he said "I'm Chris Ulrich". Had a great chat and learned alot about Roadracing World and their organization to provide more airfences at race tracks around the US. Great publication! :)
Legend 26
You’re so lucky brother…..now go out there and kill it…safe and happy miles🙌
Thank you so much for your kind words! I will try my best. Happy riding and stay safe as well :)

Check Alberto Naska’s channel. He has a 3 part series called “25 TIPS FOR RIDING YOUR RACING MOTORBIKE” full of such advices.
I LOVE Naska, he’s one of my inspirations to share my experiences with everyone :)

keep update ur own KTM when u get it on hand ya,,did u get dani signature/i wish to have but no chance
Yes will do, got both Dani and Mikka’s signatures :)))
you're a very lucky guy! I can't even ride a bike bigger than 150CC. motorsports is fck*n expensive HAHAHA
Thank you, I feel very lucky indeed! Hope you subscribe I have a few very special bikes arriving :) can’t wait to share with everyone!
Wow. How lucky are these to get it direct from him.
Yeah, I had to pinch myself so many times. It felt like an absolute dream come true! thank for watching, hope you subscribe!
@@vtranmoto subscribed buddy. Ride safe always. ✌✌✌✌
@@capdink thank you! you too!!
so did the air-fence save the bike?
Yes it certainly did, I imagine if it was a tire wall or any other material it likely would've crushed the front of the bike. Impact was hard enough to launch me out of my seat and give my neck whiplash. It took me a moment to recollect myself before the corner workers pushed me and the bike back out on track and I was able to ride back to the garages.
I am now a *HUGE* fan of air-fences! :D
thanks for watching and commenting, hope you subscribe to the channel as well! :)
Youre famous.
:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wouldn't that be something else?
Is that a school you got in to or it just happened that Pedrosa was there?
It was for 25 customers that bought the new KTM RC8C. Dani is a test rider for the KTM MotoGP team so he was there for the event as well as Mika Kallio (another former MotoGP rider who is also a KTM test rider).
Danny is so tiny, you look big next to him or he looks so small next to you and I’m guessing you are fairly small to begin with. Anyhow, great feedback from El Profesor. He insight comes as a reminder of little things we tend to forget because we do it all the time without thinking or because we get lazy.
I’m enormous Asian guy!! Haha just kidding. Yeah he’s not a big guy but my God can he ride a motorcycle!!!
And you’re absolutely right. I *thought* I did all the things he said but upon reflection, I most certainly was not. Humbling.
anh có sở hữu KTM RC 8C giới hạng 100 chiếc không vậy anh
O dung, Anh la mot ra khoai 100 so huu KTM RC8C. Anh la mot trong 25 nguoi dau tien, do la cac anh duoc gap anh Pedrosa o Spain.
A friend of mine also was there. Daaamn, i should have sould one of my kidneys ;)
You can always get another kidney!! but you cannot get another RC8C. hahaha, I'm kidding.
it was definitely worth being there though :)
I have another very exciting KTM arriving, hope you subscribe!
