How to corner on a motorcycle without being afraid!

If you've ever felt like you have no control over your destiny in a corner this video is for you! A lot of advice around motorcycle cornering revolves around increasing your lean angle which most beginner riders are not comfortable with. I'm going to give you two simple tools that will give you control over what happens in the middle of a corner. No more coasting through corners hoping you got the entry speed right!

Tip #1: Move your head off the center of the bike. This has multiple effects but the main ones are that it gets your eyes looking in the right direction and it also shifts your weight to the inside of the turn. It also naturally starts the counter steering process without you having to think about it.

Tip #2: Start breaking before the turn and KEEP braking until you see your exit and are happy with the speed and direction you are going. This is trailbraking by any other name but that word scares a lot of people so it's not mentioned once in this video! Keep braking through your turns! This gives you control of your speed regardless of your entry speed and ultimately is what gave me a huge amount of confidence to be able to push myself in my corner speed. It also has the added benefit of loading the front suspension and giving you MORE grip in the corner.
