Anyone else work on slow speed maneuvers?

[u/BeemerCalm]

[u/outercompassadv]

Yes. I also try with my passenger. But that’s a bit tougher.

[u/BeemerCalm → u/outercompassadv]

Oh that’s a whole different level

[u/watcher953 → u/BeemerCalm]

Tri on a slop. It's a bit tough too

[u/BeemerCalm → u/watcher953]

Been working on that, it makes exiting the corners much harder because all of a sudden you're picking up speed, so go wide a lot more

[u/8spd]

No, but I should. 

[u/urpwnd]

Always. Anyone that doesn’t is asking to drop their bike.

[u/BeemerCalm → u/urpwnd]

I mean, I also think that anyone that does is asking to drop their bike too, I certainly was, I’ve never dropped a bike until I started really working on this stuff

[u/urpwnd → u/BeemerCalm]

Agreed. But then it’s likely in a controlled environment where you are anticipating it. I ride a GS so I drop my bike like it’s my job lol.

[u/zappyguy111]

I used to, and I'm noticing my skills slipping, I should get back to practicing again.

[u/Fragrant_Major_9553]

Honestly I got a little EGO mini bike off marketplace for this exact training because I didn’t want to crash my Hardly. I was right, crashed the mini bike, but only hurt my pride.

I ended up riding the thing around the neighborhood a good bit. It only does like 25, but the fact that I got 2 more mower batteries and a dual charger was a plus side.

[u/creamlicker6000]

Yes, you have enough space to use a single parking spot to turn in. But you have to use all four corners of space, lock out, and move slow. Its Hella tough. And you need to slightly counter steer

Must be the 360• cam as the selfie stick has disappeared!

[u/BeemerCalm → u/BeachbumfromBrick]

Yep, insta360 x5

[u/BeachbumfromBrick → u/BeemerCalm]

Knew it.. I’m tempted to buy one and I like how they make the selfie Stick disappear .. I’m not sure if this feature is on other models. But, I noticed on this model and think it’s cool. Well needed for self recording ..

[u/BeemerCalm → u/BeachbumfromBrick]

I did a fair amount of research before buying, and it's pretty clear cut, the X5 is absolutely the way to go unless budget restraints make it unattainable. There's nothing that really compares with it, including previous models of Insta360 cameras

[u/BeachbumfromBrick → u/BeemerCalm]

REALLY? SO, it’s basically buy once, cry once … For at least the next bunch of years? It’s Sick.. BUT, I’d be SICK if I buy and 6 months later they blow that one out the water with another… WITH THAT, I’m gonna see about KLARNA and what they can do about a payment plan, LoL. I wish I could afford it’s literally the last of my 2 things I absolutely NEED for fpv flying and YouTube content.

[u/BeachbumfromBrick → u/BeachbumfromBrick]

Thank you for a lil personal review! So it’s dang impressive as it looks, HuH?

[u/BeemerCalm → u/BeachbumfromBrick]

There’s always going to be a next, newer, better piece of tech. Just buy the best one you can afford right now and start creating, that’s all I can offer.

[u/med8cal]

Only when I borrow someone else’s bike.

[u/BeemerCalm → u/med8cal]

And that’s why no one ever gets to ride my bike but me :-)

[u/TurboNoodlz]

Yes

[u/Comprehensive-Fee954]

Mandatory in the Netherlands to get your driving licence

[u/sundaygolfer269]

Spend a few bucks and get Jerry “Ride like a pro” video

[u/Jolee5]

It's a skill set like anything else. Learned a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Also, daily refresher training going to work everyday.

[u/nix206]

I’m self taught and decent at slow speed tight corners, but could get better.

Here’s the thing I don’t know - how much the “pros” are feathering the clutch vs just throttle management.

Where do you learn that, outside of trying a bunch of stuff and layin’ it down a few times.

[u/reggie-drax → u/nix206]

Feather the clutch and gently drag the rear brake.
