This is our first "how to" video for @gasonbikeup-motorcycles. If you're interested in road racing or track days, this video is for you! You'll learn from Eric Wood, the head coach for the oldest motorcycle track training school in the United States. In this video, we discuss the origin of the GasOnBikeUp name, which is one the the foundations of our teaching and training at the Penguin Racing School.
Gas On Bike Up is a mantra we've been imprinting on our students for years, and students who fully put it into practice make far fewer mistakes and are the least likely riders to succumb to the most common type of crash we see during both track days and club races. We discuss the fundamentals of tire traction and go over the three critical facets of exiting corners like a professional rider.
