Relax, you got this. Everybody welcome to Boosting Genes, right? This is Rich. Kick back there behind the camera. It's kind of a windy day so hopefully I don't have to yell. All I'm here to say is relax, you got this. You may be doing this when you practice in your U-turns. You got everything right. You got your eyes, your head, your frictions on, your little pressure on the back brake, but you can't get those U-turns down consistently. You may be doing something unconsciously that you didn't realize. I'm going to show you what I'm talking about when I say relax. So let's talk about relax for a minute. The word relax just means serenity. You know, you come from a hard day of work, you go home, you relax. Everything's become good. You are there writing on a motorcycle trip all day. You get home, you all stressed up probably because you wasn't relaxed writing that bike. So we're going to show you how that relates to motorcycle parking lot practice. Doing slow maneuvers relax. You may not be completing those U-turns consistently. You got them, but every time you go back you got to do it four times before you hit that U-turn again after a week of rest. So we're going to show you what you may be doing unconsciously. And what I'm talking about is not relaxing that left arm when you're making those U-turns. I'm talking about the left arm because hitting the United States we make all our U-turns to the left. Obviously in the parking lot you make left right and maneuvers also. So I'm going to show you on two different bikes how to relax because the fraction of a second, a fraction of a second, that you lean your bike, the handlebar is going to turn automatically in slow parking lot maneuvers. So all you got to do is relax and control the handlebars. So here's the first bike I am going to demonstrate what I mean about relaxing on what your handlebars. So for this demonstration my left arm is going to be the stiff arm that a lot of people doing unconsciously and not realizing it. So as you're in your parking lot practice you're going along nice and slow. And you want to make that U-turn. You got everything down, you're in a friction zone, you're using a rear brake, you're in a right gear, you're leaning the bike, you whipping your head and eyes around. So where you want to go but your U-turn is wide. Give your demonstration. This fist is going to represent U-turn. I'm going straight, I'm going straight. I lean the bike. The minute I lean this bike you can see the handlebar is going to turn but because my arm's so stiff I'm making a wide turn when I should be making a sharp turn. So I'm going to show you one more time. I'm going to show you one more time with my hand not touching the handlebar just to show you if your arm was relaxed how sharp your turn can be. So I'm going down and I'm doing everything I supposed to do and I'm riding, riding, riding. I make that a lean the bike just a little bit when I'm touching it. Look how sharp the bike turns. Just that easy. So in essence if you just relax that left arm even if you have to jab it into your side you can make these turns consistently. Now I'm not talking about somebody who just learning, talking about somebody who got it and wasn't sure not making it consistently. I'm going to get on a big boy right there that bike over there and show you how to do it exactly what I just done. I'm on a bike and let me tilt the camera down a little bit more. I hope that he catches cakes over there with the other camera. So what I'm going to do is demonstrate the same thing. Now I do believe that you must control the handlebars and by no means am I advocating that you take your hands off the handlebars while doing this. I'm just illustrating how when you relax it can be done. Now remember I'm taking my left hand off. So once your left hand comes off you are no longer in a friction zone and now you have to do it just try to a little bit more to keep a steady throttle and put a little bit more pressure on the rear brake if you decide to do this with your hands off it. But the minute I take my hand off the handlebar the right the wheel is going to turn. So I'm going to do it demonstrate it right quick and cake on the catcher so let me turn around looking where I want to go. Okay I'm rolling. I'm doing everything that I was talking. And so now when I try to make that U-turn if I'm stiff I'm trying to make the U-turn inside of where cake is I'm stiff and then I realize oh oh I need to turn it a little bit more and by then I don't overshot my U-turn. So I'm going to do it one more time and show you that it can be done when you just relax like I'm making a U-turn. Now my left arm is totally relaxed. The show is totally relaxed. I'm going to do it up here again. Now my second gear making my hind is off. Lane of bike is turning. I can feel I can actually feel the handlebar turning on his own and all I need to do from here on in is controlling straight up. Lane is turning. I'm not pushing with my right hand. All I'm doing is leaning the bike because technically my arm is relaxed and I am controlling where I'm going. Last time now what I'm going to do now is actually do the U-turn again with the relax. Now you could get in the side if you want to. So now I'm in the frictions on here that I've relaxed, let it turn and all I got to do is control the handlebar until if I want it at four lock or not. And that completes this demonstration but remember I'm not advocating that you take your hand off the handlebar because if you do you are no longer in the friction zone and you really need to have great throttle control and a little pressure on that rear brake. But if you do as soon as you take your hand off it the second you lean that bike you'll feel the pull of your right arm. So relax you got this. For both of you jeans riders I'm rich, cake behind the camera. If you are riding the day remember ride long, ride hard, ride strong and most importantly ride safe. Relax you got this and we out. Please. My turn I'm going to demonstrate it on his bike.
