Master Professional Motorcycle Racing Techniques

Feeling low on energy after a few track sessions? The problem might be your food and hydration. We explain how to plan your meals and water intake before and during a track day to maintain peak performance without feeling bloated or dehydrated.

Braking is one of the most critical skills on the track. We explain the difference in braking techniques for the track versus the street, including why you should turn off ABS, how many fingers to use, and the distinct roles of the front and rear brakes.

Did you know the most used muscle while riding on a track is your core? We demonstrate how a strong core stabilizes your body during cornering and transitions, reduces arm pump, and allows for smoother, more efficient riding.

Feeling exhausted after just a few laps? You might be making this simple mistake. We explain the importance of gripping the tank with your legs to stabilize your body, which frees up your upper body and prevents you from tensing up on the handlebars.

Throttle control isn't about going full speed everywhere. It's about understanding the limits and gradually expanding your comfort zone. We teach you the skills to build confidence, so speed becomes a natural result of better technique.

Your foot position is crucial for control and safety. We demonstrate the correct placement on the footpegs for track riding versus street riding, and explain why keeping your foot off the rear brake pedal prevents accidental braking and brake fade.

How do you know which gear to be in on the track? We explain the principle of keeping your RPM in the top 30% of the powerband for optimal performance, and how to use the rev limiter as a cue to shift up or down.

Is your gear just about safety? Think again. The right gear, from a helmet with a double D-ring to a snug-fitting back protector, not only protects you in a crash but also boosts your confidence and freedom of movement on the bike.

Did you know tires have an expiry date? We show you how to read the 4-digit manufacturing code on your tire's sidewall and explain why using old tires is unsafe for both street and track use, even if they look new.
