FEEDBACK for @michael.szymandera.pl Turning and RSG Exercises This is exactly what I had asked of you Michael! I didn't want at the time to give you too much to focus on with this so then you could get some feel and insight for yourself. I love that you noticed how much better it is when you do the RSG and the Go moment is before the obstacle. The only tips for if anyone else is trying this exercise; - Try to be aware of squaring up the rear wheel with the face of the obstacle. - Make sure it is a Clutch GO not throttle and is before the rear hits the obstacle. - Balance matters in the turn. If your turning and balance is off you will be hit and miss. - Keep it slow and try to minimise physical effort, let the bike and clutch do most of the work. Yes be lazy... or in other words "efficient" Major Points from here; I would like you to use two approaches, one that is essentially good turning technique (LKA position) with simply a clutch pop, then a second which is essentially a small float turn Use the standard turn on onto the log > Then use the float turn over the rocks > Then progress to a float turn onto the log. Don't float turn onto the log until your comfortable with your accuracy of lift and rotation. First Turning with Clutch Pop. (For the Log/Sleeper) 1. Good Turning position (LKA) 2. Keep that weight on your legs and long straight arms so you are nice and back on the bike. 3. Clutch "lift" the bike Its not significant, we only need a little lift. No need to use the body either as we only need a tiny bit of lift here. 4. Keep it slow and balanced. If you move too fast you will lose lift. Really put a focus on the rear wheel and feeling it track and drive for you. Minimise your physical effort Float Turn (For the Rocks) 1. Approach Slowly 2. Slow to a point, if you can stop, do it, but you can just slow down. 3. Offset the bike (Outwards or opposite to normal turns). Don't try to counter much with your body. It will naturally occur slightly but don't make a big effort of it 4. RSG from this position Progression: Float turn onto the log/sleeper TIP More leverage = tighter radius, more height Less leverage = wider radius/less height Let me know if you have any questions
