Have not really seen any moto vlogs on canyon riding tips so I decided to do one. Pretty simple advice I got from veteran riders and some that I got from myself. Anyways, I hope you like it. Thanks

Love the country you have there. Some very good scenery.
Would like to know what brand and style of camera you have. It gives great results.
Cheers

 

Its a Vado HD 2nd gen. Very good quality for the price, I got it on amazon for $40. Great for vlogging and cheap. I love southern California because of the great riding conditions. Cheers my friend, ride safe

cool. thanks heaps

 

Best advice that I can give is to ride at a pace that you don't have to use your brakes. Roads can vary from one day to the next. Traffic, animals, debris.

Going full out on a public road on a powerful road bike is a no-no. If you want to emulate a racer then the best place is the racetrack.

Riders die every day by thinking they are racers on the road.

 

Very good thread, and anything that trys to improve our riding.....I don't mind at all :wink:

 

You can say that again, I've seen too many guys I ride with ride waaaaaaay to fast on the canyons. I don't want to mention them in the video's because they might get all butt hurt but I just say,"I know some guys...." to generalize lol. If you can probably see, I ride moderately slow, going down hill I barely use my brakes because dynamic braking bleeds most of the speed. Going up hill, same thing, more grunt, but I use gravity and the turns to bleed off speed. :redface:
