- What an amazing track. Here’s a detailed video of me at Cadwell Park on July 2019 with no limits. Funny start to the morning then things got a bit serious
Booked in the wrong group but had plenty of fun!! Best lap 1 min 45
The Daunting mountain was conquered pretty quick and it was all “full gas” from there on

Honestly bro I wish everyone who did a track day had your respect for the slower riders. Most people think they are in a race and it's dangerous.. your mentality is great and your approach is as it should be. Yes you're in the wrong group but instead of being an asshole you really have alot of respect. This video should be shown to everyone who knows nothing about novices.. great video man.. truely
SteveoMagician wow mate, I am sorry I just seen your comment today but wow that’s such a beautiful comment . Offcourse, I believe everyone starts from a novice . I was a novice 2 years ago and I looked up to faster riders and you are correct everyone needs to set correct examples. I was just showing what my mindset is on the video and I am so glad you understood the bigger picture. Thank you again 🙏🏼👍🏽
Nice Channel. Nice to see someone with some consideration of slower riders and who gives it some thought, restored my faith in TD riders! :)
Thank you very much mate, I am so glad you viewed it from that angle. I did comment originally when you wrote your original comment but seems like all my comments have been deleted by RUclips when I converted the channel from personal to business
i rode cadwell on a 98 R1. and an old style zx10. lovely track. lots off camber and blind entry corners. respect to all fast riders there
Well said John
And thanks for watching and gentle words
a pleasure to watch. thank you for bringing back memories.
Thank you very much John
It makes my day when people like yourself appreciate the videos
Keep up the good work! Enjoying the channel; glad to see someone else goes to Portimao and gets rained on!! Love the kit breakdown on the aprilia
Chasing Tenths - my pleasure; it’s just great to see some good content on my favourite topic! Can only watch 44Teeth videos so many times 😂
cadwell is awesome. im an old fat fecka on a tzr250 in novice usually. best lap was a 1.57, but the folks there are very polite and a very enjoyable day!!
I totally agree with you , Cadwell is like its own little family , I absolutely love that place. The place is full of amazing quirks and features. and Tzr250 is a perfect bike for it , 1:57 is brilliant for that bike
Humble Gentleman! Good for you being honest about being a little scared of first time on track.
Didn't look like your first time by the way your rode, congratulations 🏆
Thank you very much , it was definitely my first time but it’s a track I love
Thanks for the lovely comment
So nice of you
Went there for the first time last Tuesday. Was amazed that I didn’t crash, the track is ridiculous, especially the section from Mansfield to the Hairpin. Bloody amazing. Possibly my favourite track now. Nice video too, enjoyed it.
Hahaha Simon , thats actually made me laugh so much , loved that you said " you amazed you didn't crash" lol... to be honest , that track really teaches you how to really keep your head into things and concentration levels, great for brain training, it was my favourite track too until I tried Oulton , Oulton Park is just simply superb , thanks for watching Simon
Just found your channel. Loving the down to earth attitude. Hopefully, I'm doing my 2nd ever track day at Cadwell next weekend. Slightly worried about the mountain but excited too! Cheers! Dan
hey mate , nice to hear from you , thanks for watching the stuff. That was my first time there, and I guess down to each approach is the best way forward. I am supposed to go there on Monday but I think it's going to rain all day long . Hope you have a dry one, I just love trackdays and now racing.
@@ChasingTenths I've seen some of your pics on Ben Varleys posts on Facebook. Hope the racing goes well! All the best! Dan
@@Englishbikerdan thanks Dan, Ben is a fabulous guy. We race together , he’s doing sprints and endurances. I am only doing endurance. Why don’t you put down to one of the races, I’ll send you a ticket for sure
Nice one Abhi, completely the wrong group but at least you treated the other riders with respect, gave them plenty of room and didn't scare anyone 👍👍
Thank you very very much mate, it was my first time there , I underestimated my natural speed 🤪🤪🤪...
What a track it is
Can’t wait to go there again
Nice😉
very good video Abi, very proffessinol I have a track day booked in June cant wait
Hi John , so sorry for the late reply. I bet you can't wait now , June is around the corner and tracks are now opening soon. Have a good one :)
Another great video mate cheers for making the effort and sharing it. Stay safe mate keep the footage coming it's great.
@@ChasingTenths no worries will do my friend. ✊
thank you very much, I did comment originally when you wrote your original comment but seems like all my comments have been deleted by RUclips when I converted the channel from personal to business
@@ChasingTenths haha no worries yes you do always reply. 👍🤙
I can relate to choosing groups especially on unknown tracks. As you found the novice group is really for track day newbies or low powered bikes. I get a bit nervous prior to track days but after the first session settle down. Really enjoyed your level headed approach to overtaking as you are obviously quite fast (being on an aprilia 💪🏼).
Thanks Dave, apologies for the late reply. Yes, One must show respect to all track riders no matter what, already we have many idiots on the public roads, the last thing you want is crashing into someone on track. So I just took it easy in the mornings and gave it some in the afternoons. And it's good to be nervous before a Trackday , even Rocky Balboa was nervous before his fights hahaha
Shame on you mate for being in the slow group, 1 less track session for that lol! But that was very considerate of you about keeping your distance and you can't help it as you're just faster period. Oh, btw wanna keep thr noise down on your petrol generators? Make a box out of thick styrofoam foam lined inside with sound insulating foam and it works wonders
Hi Eric , so sorry for the late reply mate , some comments slip through the net , thanks for the kind and nice words and fabulous advice on the generator noise too , much appreciated. I truly appreciate that
Great stuff man. Really like the editing and analysis and flow of the video. Really interesting the differences between a UK & US track day. For instance, we are told never ever to look back while on track and also we must tape off or disconnect our lights (especially brake lights as it’s a distraction). But, I do like your respect toward other riders! Would love to try Cadwell Park one day, looks amazing 😎
Sadly, I have been to high side city on my 1290 Superduke but the bike and myself are all good now 😂
Ever so sorry for the late reply mate , RUclips doesn't notify me of all the comments. Thank you so much, well one must always have respect for other riders no matter what group one's in. I was a novice too only 3 years ago and I just made a mistake booking myself in the wrong group but nevertheless I had great fun. What a track this is. I am so lucky to be living in UK , so many iconic tracks within 3 hours from me. 1290 SuperDuke can definitely bite back sometimes, I rode it once and couldn't keep the front down. US track days are definitely more strict than UK I noticed. Which part of U.S are you from?
Chasing Tenths this is very true! I’m in Atlanta, GA. In the southeast US. Luckily, I am only a few hours drive from some amazing and historic tracks around me :)
That was not boring brother.
Nice riding accept when you missed a few lines.
Thats why we go .
To learn and hit them faster and on line .
Cheers
Thank you very much Malcolm. Very nice words there . Much appreciated and thanks for watching
Awesome video 💥💫💥
Thank you mate, much appreciated :)
Thanks for sharing 😁 Off to Cadwell next month for some racing - first time, can’t wait!
I am ever so sorry for the late reply mate , some comments slip through the radar as you might know very well yourself , I hope the Cadwell event went well for you , did you make a video on it?
@@ChasingTenths no problem - I know how it is 😄
It was good, learnt a heck of a lot!
Will be a couple of videos from it - first one is up 😁
@@UnrestrictedIsle brilliant, I’ll check it out tonight . Glad you enjoyed it
I went there twice this year
Still need to sort out the videos and footage lol
@@ChasingTenths nice one, much appreciated 😁
Always another project in the works eh 😆
@@UnrestrictedIsle that’s so true , doesn’t help when there’s a demanding day time banking job lol
Cracking video. Subscribed after you commented on my Donington crash video 😂. Great video, love the commentary and content. Hope to see you on track once we are back on it. I’m midlands too 👍
So sorry for the late reply mate, absolutely would love to see you on one of the track days. Feel free to get in touch on chasing tenths Facebook page mate. We both from Midlands, perfect.
As you said terrifying if you're in the wrong pace for a group 🙈
Absolutely mate, spot on :)
Came across this vid and I know Dan from a whatsapp group. Crazy small world hey.
Great vid dude loved the format has a very professional feel to it. Love to support other people on you tube liked and subscribed and if you wanna see some enduro pop over to my channel 👍🏻
Chasing Tenths great editing and no don’t talk less your description and narration is what kept me watching till the end.
I’d love to do more track riding but living where I do it hours and hours to even the closest and Enduro I just drive out of the garage and it begins 😂 keep doing what your doing great channel 💪🏻
I did comment originally when you wrote your original comment but seems like all my comments have been deleted by RUclips when I converted the channel from personal to business
In a group too slow you can safely learn the ' so therefore ' aspect of overtaking. Absolutely nothing wrong with going down a group if done as a gentleman and a scholar!
Really well said , thank you . And thanks for watching and writing a constructive comment
@@ChasingTenths thank you for complimenting what I had to say . I learned that the hard way. Nobody told me I had to leave my ego at the gate.
No point in going to school if you think you know more than the teacher!
@@patchthesinclair5896 that is so so true , I completely agree with that. I think naturally I have that in me, especially being on RUclips , the last thing I want is ego. Even when In some of the latest videos I am doing personal best after personal best laps , I still keep my head down and be humble because it only takes one error when people start pointing fingers at you for showing ego earlier. Glad our heads are screwed on right lol . Also , I learnt some lessons the hard way too. :)
Great video bro respect from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks Manuel. Really appreciate it mate. I have been to that track twice this year , I just need to get the videos edited this month or next month
Thanks for the comment and appreciation
enjoyed it - cadwell was always my favourite - you showed the big secret of the mountain - take it on the RHS or else you'll end up on the grass on the left - its easily done - it looks straight, but there's a slight kink pushing you left. Lydden in Kent is great also - like a miniature cadwell - you can have some really great fun at Lydden - makes you feel like Valentino !!
Hey mate. That’s an excellent point you made about the mountain. I never tried lydden may be cause I am from the midlands and Kent is missions . I will give it a go soon. I really want to try brands hatch and Bedford autodrome this year and if I can oulton
The smile on anyones face when your going to your trackday.. nice vid..
Desi Track Addicts thanks mate, let me know when you start riding in 2020, will definitely link up for a ride
@@ChasingTenths defo bro itching to get out and regretting now selling my rf. Ali has your number and will be in touch..
Desi Track Addicts yes, I spoke to him. Lovely chap ! Look forward to it mate
Pretty awesome track hey! I ran an event called Moto Time Attack there in 2017-18. Unfortunate I only got photos, but I got to ride the DR Moto around it. It was mental!
HoonTV mate , I just came from portimao and Jerez when I did this cadwell day and it blew me away . I was absolutely gobsmacked by the elevation changes and that 🏔 mountain
As you know the track is so narrow , your mind is on overtime
Chasing Tenths definitely. I was hoping to be back in the UK this year, but funds are tight. Very keen to do some Spanish tracks and more UK ones. So far Brands and Cadwell are the only two I’ve done. When you get a chance, check out my mate’s app Track Day Genius. It’s brilliant
Great Vid
Thank you very much , I did reply earlier , I think my comments have been deleted by RUclips after an upgrade
Awesome choice of t-shirt for your journey home. Trailer choice rather good too.
Thank you very much , that’s a very different comment I have received actually. Nicely noticed. Thanks again and appreciate you taking the time out to comment
@@ChasingTenths Ayrton Senna was a legend and well respected in the UK having led at several UK based F1 teams;Toleman, Lotus, McLaren, Williams. I was fortunate enough to ride my RSV-4 Factory at Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Imola, including the remodelled Tamburello corner, so to pay my respects to Ayrton and Roland. What Sir Jackie Stewart started had to be restarted and goes on to this day with HANS and Halo plus the carbon chassis tub to protect the driver. Fire safety is also a design objective with FIA regulations in place, as tested by Romain Grosjean.
It's hard to believe that Senna would have died in a modern car but of course prototype racing and pushing the limits is always going to have surprises. Ride safe.
@@lonpfrb wow, beautiful words
Very knowledgeable
I am massively into F1 from 1950’s onwards too
And love the historic races
Really nice comment that
You are very lucky
Fantastic job bro!
Thank you very much , really appreciated
Over the mountain, "keep the throttle on", shuts throttle. 🤔
Hi mate, on my best lap I had shut the throttle but most of my laps I have wheelies every where.
Awesome.....glad I got to see you there
Cheers mate, that was my first time there 2 years ago, will edit the new video and post it soon . It was brilliant to see you there mate . Truly wonderful
@@ChasingTenths was my second time there...First time I got rained off at dinner, managed a 1.55 lap (second track day)
@@leetelford8000 pretty good going mate .. nice one . It’s always gutting to have it rained at
@@ChasingTenths next time I'll try going up into inters
@@leetelford8000 you must, the pace will be more consistent and you will get some clear air
Hello mate, maybe you want some winglets for your Aprilia?
Absolutely, I remember replying to you. I did comment originally when you wrote your original comment but seems like all my comments have been deleted by RUclips when I converted the channel from personal to business
Nice camera angle. Awesome dash you got there
Thanks mate
Really appreciate that
And thanks for watching the video too mate
1st gear at Cadwell scary mate but quick on the overtaking once committed like it when overtaking slower riders at cadwell dont forget the emphasis is on you to make a safe move well done mate I go there loads in summer .
Cheers mate
Thank you
Yeah that 1st gear was such a beginner error lol
It was my first time there
But can’t wait to go there again mate
Hope to see you there sometime
@@ChasingTenths I'll be there this year loads if ya ever booked on mate drop us a message
@@craigthompson1794 for sure mate , thank you
Great video Don't you trust the AWC, even on 1? You are the kinda person we all want around us on track cos you are so respectful to other riders, unlike many here on track. I only want Rossi to cut me up at Druids, not Fred Twatarse thinking he's the next BSB contender. Keep the superb content coming Sir
Gio Verde wow thanks for the kind words , that day I just booked my self in the wrong group and there was no point being a hero and showing off .... Aprilia traction control still let’s you have fun so my bike was wheeling 50 percent
@@ChasingTenths I know what you mean mate. I'll be doing Brands on mine later this month and cannot wait. 👍🏻
Gio Verde I am there on the 14th this month
@@ChasingTenths nice👍🏻 I'm there on 21st. 😉
Another good video 👌 looking to do something similar next year with my channel
Thank you mate , I think I replied to you earlier too and you might have read my comment too but my old comments have been deleted before Jan 2020 as I converted the channel into business channel
Pretty sure I was in your group that day I remember the big lad on the aprilia
Really , wow. You mean the big chap on the Tuono . He was very slow but minding his own business
What type of mount do you use to mount the GoPro in that location?
Hi Sean, I use a Ram Mount system which goes in to the Yoke stem cavity, here's a video where I explain all the mounts I use, it's a long video but it does go through all the options. I hope it helps
ruclips.net/video/Kvu3d2f8pdE/видео.html
What to do if your in the wrong group. Dont book onto the wrong group
Hahaha Jake, you hit the nail on the head there mate. I think I just got intimated by the track even before I booked it which one should never do. I am a fast group rider on most European and U.K. tracks and I should have trusted my gut instinct and minimum at least booked inters . But a lesson learned & I wasn’t cocky or just rudely overtaking people to show off. All in all it was a great day and what a track , can’t wait to go there again. Lesson learnt thought lol. Thanks for watching and commenting Jake. Stay safe mate.
nice session, nice ride, nice time spent in a pure nature...with an gasoline odour essence in a nose a bit :)
Haha cheers mate
I appreciate you watching the videos
Means a lot to me
lovely track. its only 30 miles from my house. missing going there in these first months of 2020
Dan77uk sorry mate, just seen your comment . You are one lucky man if this is near your house , it’s about 3 and a half hours from mine and the last hour is just super skinny Country roads. It was my first time there but what an extraordinary experience, separates the men from the boys . Can’t wait for lockdown to be over. Hope to see you there one day mate. Please do stay in touch (you can like chasing Tenths on Facebook) and thank you for watching the video . Very much appreciated
Chasing Tenths that’s okay bro. Yeah it’s only a hour away for me. Just 30 miles so not far. It’s a real unique track. So much undulation and a real bike track with it being so thin. It’s good you have respect for the slower riders. Some people don’t and I feel like that just makes them even more nervous and slower. Keep up the good work with the videos Abhi 👍🏻
Hi. hello, I also want to start tack day but I don't understand a few things, why do people come there with caravans , that is, there are more sessions for the next day or you can stay there as many days as you want? Thank you.
I will be doing a video on trackday tips
The caravans are for people who want to relax in their own space
It’s nothing complicated so please don’t let that put you off
I don’t have a caravan
Sometimes they let you stay overnight if there is another trackday tomorrow
@@ChasingTenths , thank you very much , I'm waiting to see the new video, about camping and rules for first day track.
@@durasdual7467 most welcome 🤗
What dash is that?
its i2m pro dash mate. I did comment originally when you wrote your original comment but seems like all my comments have been deleted by RUclips when I converted the channel from personal to business
This vid should be shown at every track day and before you see it and take it in you dont go on track might stop some idiots showing off and hurting others !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I understand Allan , that makes a lot of sense
Hi there can you please tell me what are you warning alpinestar under suit.
How much and what's it called thanks.
Excellent excellent vlog thanks.
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. The suit is a tech air alpinestars suit . I also wear alpine stars breathable skin tight layer under it . I hadn’t bought a airbag jacket yet but this year I might buy one, it’s just that alpine star track only airbag jacket is £999 and it’s a lot of money . The alpinestars tech air miselle (can’t spell lol) suits are really comfortable and very flexible and breathable
What's the name brand of that tent you using that is badass that is a nice one
It was a friend’s tent, I will ask him and get back to you . Three of us were sharing one tent . Lol
Love this track definitely a track of two halfs try an open pit day a real eye opener 😎
Wow open pitlane on this track would be unbelievable. It was my first time there and I absolutely loved it, such a rollercoaster ride. Cant wait to go again. We are so Lucky in the UK 🇬🇧 we have such amazing array of tracks.
@@ChasingTenths that was my first time there on a 600 srad it was amazing..
Agreed we are lucky I went to snetterton 300 Silverstone GP and brands hatch GP twice last year both brilliant tracks
Orton park is one that's on my list as it looks like a rollercoaster for bikes 🤗
David Stallard omggg I love that air intake growl from the Srad, it’s beautiful. Mate oulton is on my list too. Never done it but recent I watched Silvian Guintoli’s RUclips channel and I really loved the track . You never know I might see you there as oulton doesn’t hold many Trackdays as others tracks
@@ChasingTenths i watched the silvan video he has a few very informative life at lean is very helpful aswell
i have a k4 750 now cant wait to get back on her
Really like your bike bet it's very interesting on a tight track 😲
@@ChasingTenths ruclips.net/video/E8onTYHTbNg/видео.html
Have a look at this it's me at brands on my k4 what do you think? It's only a couple of laps as I forgot to turn the camera on 🤦♂️
Can you go there just to spectate?
Yes absolutely you can and it’s a great place to spectate , they have a mini grandstand just opposite the mountain section, so you can see the people wheeling
I thinking of booking into a novice group at Donnington...is that wise . 🤔 I'm a redline rider on roads .is the track so different? 🔥 gonna go for novice myself but everyone looks soo slow . Thanx. I'm trying not to come across as a dik ...just don't have any experience on track ..
Definitely novice to start with mate especially at Donington , as the crainers corners can bite back.
Road and track are so much different mate. Just try novice first and see how it goes . You’ll be great
@@ChasingTenths thank u for confirming that my man . Cadwell looks great 👍
@@gideonsikk8733 no problem at all, have a good one mate. Remember you got nothing to prove at all. Just enjoy your trackday and have a good one .. and yes cadwell park and oulton park are a must , proper rollercoasters
You need to work on body position, your head is behind the screen in turns. Should be pushing the bike upright.
I will do for sure, thanks for the tip. Much appreciated mate
Cadwell has the Mountain...Portimão has Everest👌
Hahahahahaha , Portimao has a few Everest’s lol
Your the fastest in novice lol
Exactly my point in the video, there isn't a point being fastest in novice when you clearly don't belong in the group. The whole point of the video was to show never to book yourself in a group where you are clearly faster as it ruins the day for yourself and possibly others. That's exactly the message of was trying to give because I made a mistake of booking myself in novice as it was my first time there but I was clearly faster.
Mate going into charlie 1 and 2 I'm in 5th gear your slow
Mate that was my first time there.
Offcourse some people are quick some are slow. I don’t mind if you put me in the slow category lol :)
