@@cxns155 seriously? Do you like campaign groups with videos that go viral? Do you want a GPS speed box fitted to all motorcycles "because motorcyclists, just look at my videos"? Be reasonable and sensible. If the road is in a town, if there are houses, kids, people, nearby, what are you gonna do? If it's empty road, clear, no one around, then that's very different.
I remember doing a track day at Mallory Park in the UK. Big long right-hander, knee on the deck all the way round. Felt like I was flying. Then the instructor came round the outside of me, looked over his left shoulder and gave me a thumbs-up. I was trying my best, he was just having another day at the office. There’s only so much talent you can be taught. If you have it naturally, make the most of it!!
Decades of being a coach (olympic target shooting, mostly 10m air pistol, some rifle) and I've found the OPPOSITE to be true. Those with natural talent don't often put in the work needed to be Really good. So, while they're on top of their peers at the start, the kids who started off worse but put in the training effort would surpass them in short order and the natural talent would then get frustrated and give up. While I agree that natural instinct helps, it really only comes into play at Very beginning and elite levels, and not All of the time at the elite level. But that's just my personal experience in a field I know intimately. As for riding, I'm "turn 13" (local track was 12 turns back when I was scratching the speed itch... lol, just call me the rolling chicane).
@@ShootingAir Tyson at 16 "I don't beliee in talent. I mean, it's good for those who have it, but it's about getting up in the moring running when the weather sucks aso" (something like that.) As someone who was good at "everything" I tryed, I will agree - talent can easily ruin diciplin, bcz you rarely get to train it, to keep up with or win over "the average Joe", who is the only people you meet, until you get into a better competition..
@@ShootingAir exactly man, i was not the most takented of my peers ,but i really gave 110 percent of work ,focus and resilience and after some years i was miles ahead of them! Felt sooooo damm nice!!!
3:25 "One lap later" that means not only is he giving it his best, hes paying attention to your/others lines and braking and learning on the go at what I think is a high level. Makes me think of "Initial Ds" final battle "If you can, so can I" mindset
Indeed, it was crazy how fast he was making progress. Towards the end I was struggling to keep up because he was getting really good on the brakes and I could barely close the gap.

Rory Skinner is a fantastic rider, fellow countryman of mine. I am looking forward to watching him race next year,back in the MotoGp paddock.
@@fatherfigure6056 are you thinking he's very good on a bicycle etc? Maybe roda dirt bikes as a kid? We don't get told his age, how long he's riding bicycles, his ability in a car etc.
@@fatherfigure6056 bro has full leathers and a Ducati + racing school after only 1.5 years. I’m sure he is very well off financially so he isn’t scared of destroying his bike
As someone who picked up this sport quickly and was "fast" after a year... I can say this guy is doing really well for a new rider. As someone who now has over 17 years of experience riding street and track, racing, and coaching... I'd say he should be a bit careful, because it takes time to develop an understanding of where the limits are for yourself and the bike. It's very tempting for a fast new rider to treat every track day like a Grand Prix race, but it's a mistake. Patience and attention to detail will extend his riding career. That said, COTA is a very technical track, and if he's successful there, it does bode well for the future.
First you make sure everyone knows how good you are, and then proceed to push him down just to raise him up again..

They wanna pit their skills against some of the Best. And honestly dude how many "Racers" do you know that have never crashed ? The answer is ZERO. We know and assume the risk. Thanks for the tip grandpa, now get outta MY WAY.😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Lots of people are fast right up until they crash. I never crashed on the track thankfully, but i rode in the intermediate group and was happy to let faster guys go by with chasing them. I miss track days but they are in the past for me…….As i sit here recovering from shoulder surgery after running and slipping on gravel in my driveway. Three more weeks wearing this hard brace and sleeping in a chair. 🤦♂️
@@nesta8273 I have 30 years experience riding dirt and now ride with 2 prosthetic legs. Your right about always going flat out. My best learning is on my own going slowly. After an hour warm up I’m more aware and confident to go flat out. In saying that I can just tear off flat out all day everyday and race but I really enjoy going slower and “playing” with the bike.. I can ride over a single car or truck tyre standing up hop logs all day ride at 200klmh through the desert and fly 400 metres off a ramp n flat land it but experience came from doing it all slower knowing what I and the bike can do. Take off in first gear turn the bike n ride in as tighter circles as you can up straight then lean into it try n move over the bike and hang your bum over the side of the motor. Do this in both directions, then move back on the seat and as far forward and back doing the circles slowly then tuck in clutch in full throttle dump the clutch n ride off sideways on the back wheel hitting the hole shot like a champ. You now know the limits of your bikes handling and weight centre of gravity taking off hard teaches throttle response and power. I do this on every bike I ride.
Nice video Cuban Rider. That guy is just naturally talented. When I was first learning to canyon ride in the early 70's, I met a guy who had ridden for several years in the late 60's with the English cafe scene. He rode an early Triumph Trident back then and ended up being involved in a crash that totaled his Trident. He purchased an 850 Norton and commenced making it a Dunstall Norton. Nice handling and fast bike. I was riding a Kawasaki Z1 back then and after one ride he commented to me, " you have more natural talent than anyone he had ridden with". I sure wanted to get into WERRA back then, but being in the Navy and operational commitments would not allow that. I often wonder how well I could have done in that. I learned a lot from him and applied it to my riding style and enjoyed many a mile of canyon riding/racing in the great back roads in Southern California at a time when they were not crowded with so many riders, some exhibiting good riding skills, others not so good. Please keep up with these great videos for an old guy to enjoy and remember the old days.
Senior rider, I'm all too familiar with these operational commitments. Hopefully soon I'm able to work at my own pace and I'm able to sign up for a race season.
I was in the forces in the 1980s (British Army) but we were lucky enough to have inter regimental and later inter forces biking competitions, moto cross and road riding and depending on where you were posted you could concentrate on one or the other, for example if you were in the Arabian peninsula you concentrated mostly on moto cross or road racing if you were in Germany or Cyprus, it was a massive bonus for the many bikers there were in the forces and in a lot of cases the reason many lads signed on again at the end of their time.
@@steve00alt70 I'd argue that more talent comes out of more accidents. I certainly avoided some crashes by witnessing other's mistakes, but the biggest learning moments can be had from your own, when you pay in blood. Riding is about facing the ultimate challenge that anyone faces: living life to the fullest. So, any rider worth their weight in salt has come to terms with their mortality early in their career. This guy may not have crashed yet, but he likely will someday, and he will get back up and do it again, just like the rest of us have. You're not scaring anybody.
RideSmart has 4 riding groups: Beginner Intermediate Experienced Advanced Usually new riders to the track sign up for beginner or intermediate, depending on previous experience, but my friend figured he could sign up for the experienced group based on his previous two track days. Well, he was right; learned the track quickly and started riding advanced group lap times even with traffic. I'm glad I was able to work with him and get him moved to the fastest group, it usually takes a few track day iterations to make these changes and can be a frustrating process.
@@USAracing not really lol, he's crossed up on almost every single turn, he's constantly going wide and making small mistakes looks like a true beginner with some serious natural talent and balls to go with it, he's doing some things wrong but what he's doing correctly requires commitment and he has all the commitment, your bike isn't less capable because you have less experience, some people learn faster than others and he's on an incredibly capable bike that will allow him to snatch ANY progression in front of him. Some people are just naturals, and if you give naturals the right tools and environment to succeed, they do this.
@@Urmom-qf3mo one that's not out to milk their citizens of all their money for their own financial gain without a care in the world for their safety or survival lol 😆
It's always the first track day that scares the living shit out of you. My guy, once you get past that "initial fear" you'll be screaming in your helmet with joy. Did my first track day over at Phillip Island on their rental S1000RRs and it did not disappoint. Go out and have a track day!
I remember being overtaken by Terry Rymer (former Enduro Champ) in his formative years at paddock on the Brands Hatch circuit in the UK and then trying to outbreak him into Druids. Hahaha, that's when I truly realised that the top 0.5% of riders have a godly feel for their bikes that I would never be able to develop. I could see it but not replicate that level of feel. It was enlightening.
I hate that mindset. If another human being can do it. It is physically possible. Intern. Possible for you to do as a human. If u see another person do something. It. Is. Possible
@@prodbybabygod7411 I can bounce a basketball, if I trained every waking moment of every day for the rest of my life, I would never be able to come even remotely close to the level of Michael Jordan in his prime, I could get really good, but being the best is just never going to happen.
@@prodbybabygod7411 so true... In general I take that view, but sometimes.. man some people they are just better than you at some stuff, and there is no shame in that.. you can't learn everything and be godly at it all. People that grow up doing something generally have the edge over those that pick it up later in life. So many things you have to train your body to "accept" when riding a motorcycle and that is multiplied at these speeds.. if genuinely "new" to riding this is a good example of Natural Talent.
@@DenvarShay if you started when he did. Nah fuck that if you stopped doing anything expect practicing bball. You could. So sad you cunts have no drive.
I was just thinking 'CR needs a faster bike' and it flashed up on screen ! It's remarkable what you can do on the XR, but sportsbikes will always have the advantage on the track (for similar ability riders). That guy's phenomenal ! Congrats on the new track job 👍
Recognize the fact that the instructor waves: come closer, overtake me. Happend the first time to me in Holland. Busy in a corner, working my ass off. The instructor looked behind, one handed almost doing a kneedown, and waved to come closer... 😅 Learned a lot how much a bike van do. Like the video and the way its filmed and commented👍
I used to instruct formula drivers and freelance instruct track days. One time at track day in NJMP amongst a bunch of exotic cars there was a Mazda 3 in the novice run group with no instructor. I go over to him and he says none of the instructors will sit with him, his car is boring and he's the outright slowest person on track. We head out on track and what I saw was a student driving perfect but no idea for how fast he could go. I tell him to pull into pits, we swap seats. I take him out and show him he can go a lot faster. We returned to the pits to swap again so he can use the lessons learned. And like a damn savant he goes out with me, and starts hustling the car like a PRO! Every braking point, trailing turn in, smoothness, correction, throttle application was damn near perfect. He went from being the bane of the novice group that everyone didn't want around to owing the people in Ferraris, lambos, & vettes. The had to put him in the advanced run group that day. I've never seen that in my life, and I've taught thousands of people! The guy just knew what to do, he was only missing the confidence in the speed of his car. I'll never forget that guy.
That's super rare for sure. I feel with cars there are ways to get proficient before hitting the track, such as racing sims and karting. I know by the time I did my first HPDE, I had at least 100 hours on Gran Turismo, it felt very natural. With motorcycles, the learning curve and chances of crashing are much higher, it's truly hard to be fast on the early stages without taking significant risk.
@@CubanRider lol to a degree I would concur. I've seen plenty of sim guys come in their car and leave in an ambulance. And knowing my experiences have been pretty crazy in cars, I can only imagine what you've seen. I keep telling my wife in going to start going to motorcycle track days. I quit riding street due to safety (car drivers) but I would love to learn bike dynamics. I started watching motogp a few years ago and it's truly art work, esp Marquez! The ability of the rider to move their body and affect handling mid corner is nuts.
@@ShipMonster I would not want to instruct car track days, that's for sure! Too many drivers with overpowered cars and not enough skill to handle it. Same goes for motorcycles, but most of the times the riders just park it in the corners. Transitioning to motorcycle track riding has been one of the most rewarding things I've done. I tell myself the consumables are much cheaper, but at the end of the day, it's a lot of money to be competitive.
Great video man. I was at one of the track events at the Barber Raceway in Leeds Alabama. They had a training class that had been going on for a while. Now, these were nothing but 5,6, and 7-year-old boys and girls. They had a little track built just for them. Oh man, those kids were flat-out tearing that track up. I was told that a few of them were reaching speeds of 60 to 70 mph. One of them low sided in one of the turns. They went to help the kid. But, by the time they got there. "She" had the bike back up, and took off like the true little speed demon she was. I had a blast just watching them. The future of MotoGP is going to be very interesting. 😎
Car enthusiasts can develop an eye for braking marker, corner turn in, apex, corner exit, radius, camber, elevation, traction and the properties of the traction circle, as well.
Will you please make a video about braking? Specially for hairpins and body position just before the apex. A trail braking video would be great as well. Thanks and great riding!
My wife always wanted me to race my RDs that I built into race bikes. I rode for 11 years every day back and forth to work rain or shine before I bought myself a car. I knew I was good but the race track will always make you a better rider. I never had the finances or the backing so I just rode on the streets.
I saw MA Twins Cup champion Kaleb De Keyrel zoom by right behind SDK and Rory too. Not sure if his Aprilia is quite the same class of performance as theirs though!
On my first track day i was moved to advanced level from beginner group because i was too fast. As soon as my instructor told me that im too good to be in lower levels, i got too confident thinking im so good and have a natural talent. However, after doing 2 session, i realized im nowhere near experienced riders that i rode with in that advanced level. Got my ego hurt so bad 😂😂. But still it was one heck of a experience tho.
The electronic aids on the newer bikes definitely allow newer riders to be a little more hamfisted and get away stuff you never would have been able to get away with years ago.
I have been riding since 1972 race amateur from 96 to 99. RGV250 class or 250 class. This kid if he keeps on training, Will be amazing. He will give Josh herrin and run for his money in a couple years
awesome style video. I enjoyed it very much. Never will I ride at this level on a track, but even as a road rider I still take note of certain things. Thanks, I subscribed to your channel.
Sry, what is the name of the track? Circuit of The Americas; nice track, first when i read it; it doesnt look like Road America ^^. I am soo tired... would like to see such an event @greenhell^^.
@@simetar88 Just like old school before the USDOT made everyone switch from right side 1 up-neutral & the rest down to the opposite side. Always thought that since most people are right footed & shifting requires more fine motor nerve coordination, that they screwed up. But that was about the time Joan Claybrook was the head admin. She presided over the Corvair fiasco & wanted to make seatbelts mandatory on motorcycles.
He’s got the brakes, and turn in, but needs to work on exit angle and wider exit, use more track. He’s powering on to hard after apex. But hats off to him for 1.5 years riding, he’ll come on quick
Maybe so , but talent is talent. I've done plenty of track days with plenty of folk with all the gear and upgrades but absolutely no fuggin' idea of a racing line, braking point or where they should even be on the bike.
That is quick. Wish I had my progress recorded. My 9th track day was new racers school. He might want to start racing. Thats the real measuring contest. 😆
there's a fine line between No Fear, Experience, knowledge of the track and then becoming one with the asphalt, some riders brains just think differently no matter what bike they get on. that's why when you're young you feel invincible and can really push the limits of whatever you're doing, some people dont grow out of that stage, just look at Guy Martin, he's held together by nuts and bolts but still pushes just as hard as the day he started riding.
Buenas! Te sigo desde hace tiempo, siempre entras a circuito con las Michelin power cup 2? Tengo una xr y siempre entro con Dunlop d212 y quería probar Michelin. Las recomiendas? Da gusto verte. Un saludo
i really want to do a racing course and get some track hours down. only been riding for a year. though my friends that i ride with always think ive been riding longer than i have been.
It would be interesting to see the times the instructors and such run on that track with the same bike, then to track his progression each session he does to gauge his improvements and how quickly they are coming on exactly. Spectacular vid and rider.
The fastest learner I ever met got a CBR 954 for his first street bike and within 18 months was starting on a ama super sport line at Miller Motorsports Park. Never met anybody that learned that fast before, so much natural talent it almost seemed unfair.
@@CubanRider Thanks for the reply Cuban rider. I've actually convinced two guys to buy a BMW 1000 XR after showing them some of your videos. You seem to have quite a bit of natural talent yourself.
@@USAracing apples and oranges Ben Spies was a top professional competing for the win from the very start. The guy I know was never competing for the win he is more like your local fast guy that gets to compete when the AMA shows up at your home track.
There's always one guy in the comments who's a bit sour and I wonder if it's me this time lol - I'd be curious to know how much of the "fearlessness" comes from the rider aids. Jumping from a GSX-R 1000 with no aids to a BMW S1000RR with all the bells and whistles, I felt like a ham-fisted god that could do no wrong! Except then you factor in this guy's line and brake point adjustments and maybe he's just really, really good!
Electronics aside, he's really good in figuring how to go fast, comfortable on the side of the tire and strong on the brakes. You can coach someone all you want, but if they don't have the go-fast bug, they will do everything just like you told them, except at much slower pace. If you're this talented from the get-go, then coaching becomes so much easier. Once this man figures out COTA, I'm not going to be able to touch him... unless that is, I get myself a faster bike.
@@CubanRider I’m not a huge Ducati fan, but I can’t deny that they are an absolute weapon on track, not just speed but handling too. I could see how much drive he was able to achieve whilst maintaining a tighter line on corner exit. It made a huge difference on the switchback through 8-9(?) I’m not taking anything away from him as he is very talented, achieving what others never will in such a short time.
There's some truth to this, however there's a factor everyone seems to forget and that's the power difference between no help bikes and modern bikes. My 04 rsv has no abs, no tc, no wc, and I ride it just as hard as my tuono with all the gizmos with no issue. However, my tuono makes 35-40 more horsepower and has a fatter torque curve, and without aids I def get away with a little more than normal but not much. Watching some of my own videos the tc is seamless and didn't even realize it coming on in some areas. I also ride with almost all of the rider aids off, so while the safety net IS there, it's more a peace of mind than anything else cause they can and will get incredibly intrusive even at medium settings. Even with everything set to level one, I can still slide the ass end out on corner exit, I can still hover the rear end under heavy braking, rear abs is off, so don't think electronics are this catch all, modern day electronics are incredibly sophisticated and the individuals who rely too much on them will never get as fast as people who understand and know their bikes capability
Shout out to all my RideSmart Coaches just an amazing organization rode there in 2021 and was so memorable COTA is a super fast and technical track not just stop and go plus you have to have stamina and endurance to go at this pace...#TraxStarz
Anyone can tell me what bike the instructor rides, we have a discussion on the topic, my friend says its a ktm superduke 1209R gen 2. Please some help, bcs hes trippin in my opinion
How old is he? Is he really good on a bicycle? Did he used to ride dirt bikes as a kid? Is he a good car driver? Does he drive cars on a circuit? Some people are very good learners, good skills, comes easy. Like playing sports at break time in school Vs driving Vs bicycles Vs hockey Vs darts Vs pool Vs shooting etc. I had varying levels at all of those. That famous internet guy, KimDotCom, he was the best out of 15,000,000 players at Call Of Duty, as well as being internationally wanted, funding politicians, friends with Elon Musk, rich etc. It's a mixed bag!
Great weekend. Thanks for coming out. It seems as if the novice group is getting better. If I had known you were going to be out there would have stopped by to say "hi." I usually work T20 but was on T4 this time, wave next time you're here.
I am new to this channel. So what bike are you riding and what is the other guy? Sounds like a V2 (V4?) Ducati, I am curious what model it is? It has got insane acceleration!
Looks like he already has the hang of powering out of corners, I can understand why he was fast for a new rider. Also really not afraid to give it a good lean.
Hey Cuban, Is there a way you could explain his ability? Did you have a chance to speak with him after the track day was done? With only three total days on track I could imagine it'd be incredibly difficult to learn, understand and then apply advanced techniques/concepts if he were just cruising out on the street. Would love your insight! Great video by the way!
Doubt he was just "cruising" on the streets. Many riders get their fundementals on the streets, even take them to advanced levels. Now, average people may not like them (as they routinelly violate many traffic codes), but you can not say skill can not be learned on the street. I have known those who race on the track, who still take it to public roads as part of their "training". (We of course do not like to call it "training" --it's just fun).
Hey Cuban Rider! I was there that weekend too. Although I was in the novice group :) it was a beautiful weekend! Hopefully one day we’ll get to see each other out there.
I know Rory, followed and supported him since he was a kid on a bike. Our bike group put some sponsor money his way in the early days. As to your lad in the vid, we say "every day is a school day", but in his case he seemed to be making progress every lap. What was he on a Ducati?
That's awesome. He was on those American Racing bikes, not even sure what powerplant they were running. 765 Triumph engines? I only ran in the advanced group once, but those guys were flying.
@@CubanRider Yes these are the Moto2 bikes he is racing this year. Hopefully after 2 years he gets a MotoGP place. He was excellent in the BSB series until a serious accident he got tangled up in. Have a look on RUclips bit scary. ruclips.net/video/fXZd9gu5sfQ/видео.html Karel
I love track days. I take my 21' MT07 and just fool around. It's exhilarating passing Ducatis and R1s on the corners, just to see them fly by me later lol. But still so much. Fool around on the track, so you could enjoy the streets guys.

I miss track days but they are in the past for me…….As i sit here recovering from shoulder surgery after running and slipping on gravel in my driveway. Three more weeks wearing this hard brace and sleeping in a chair. 🤦♂️
@@nesta8273 I have 30 years experience riding dirt and now ride with 2 prosthetic legs. Your right about always going flat out. My best learning is on my own going slowly. After an hour warm up I’m more aware and confident to go flat out. In saying that I can just tear off flat out all day everyday and race but I really enjoy going slower and “playing” with the bike.. I can ride over a single car or truck tyre standing up hop logs all day ride at 200klmh through the desert and fly 400 metres off a ramp n flat land it but experience came from doing it all slower knowing what I and the bike can do.
Take off in first gear turn the bike n ride in as tighter circles as you can up straight then lean into it try n move over the bike and hang your bum over the side of the motor. Do this in both directions, then move back on the seat and as far forward and back doing the circles slowly then tuck in clutch in full throttle dump the clutch n ride off sideways on the back wheel hitting the hole shot like a champ. You now know the limits of your bikes handling and weight centre of gravity taking off hard teaches throttle response and power.
I do this on every bike I ride.
Nice video Cuban Rider. That guy is just naturally talented. When I was first learning to canyon ride in the early 70's, I met a guy who had ridden for several years in the late 60's with the English cafe scene. He rode an early Triumph Trident back then and ended up being involved in a crash that totaled his Trident. He purchased an 850 Norton and commenced making it a Dunstall Norton. Nice handling and fast bike. I was riding a Kawasaki Z1 back then and after one ride he commented to me, " you have more natural talent than anyone he had ridden with". I sure wanted to get into WERRA back then, but being in the Navy and operational commitments would not allow that. I often wonder how well I could have done in that. I learned a lot from him and applied it to my riding style and enjoyed many a mile of canyon riding/racing in the great back roads in Southern California at a time when they were not crowded with so many riders, some exhibiting good riding skills, others not so good. Please keep up with these great videos for an old guy to enjoy and remember the old days.
Senior rider, I'm all too familiar with these operational commitments. Hopefully soon I'm able to work at my own pace and I'm able to sign up for a race season.
I was in the forces in the 1980s (British Army) but we were lucky enough to have inter regimental and later inter forces biking competitions, moto cross and road riding and depending on where you were posted you could concentrate on one or the other, for example if you were in the Arabian peninsula you concentrated mostly on moto cross or road racing if you were in Germany or Cyprus, it was a massive bonus for the many bikers there were in the forces and in a lot of cases the reason many lads signed on again at the end of their time.
You can have all the talent in the world and still get into an accident
@@steve00alt70 hi Debbie Downer!!
@@steve00alt70 I'd argue that more talent comes out of more accidents. I certainly avoided some crashes by witnessing other's mistakes, but the biggest learning moments can be had from your own, when you pay in blood. Riding is about facing the ultimate challenge that anyone faces: living life to the fullest. So, any rider worth their weight in salt has come to terms with their mortality early in their career. This guy may not have crashed yet, but he likely will someday, and he will get back up and do it again, just like the rest of us have. You're not scaring anybody.
RideSmart has 4 riding groups:
Beginner
Intermediate
Experienced
Advanced
Usually new riders to the track sign up for beginner or intermediate, depending on previous experience, but my friend figured he could sign up for the experienced group based on his previous two track days. Well, he was right; learned the track quickly and started riding advanced group lap times even with traffic. I'm glad I was able to work with him and get him moved to the fastest group, it usually takes a few track day iterations to make these changes and can be a frustrating process.
thats a load of horseshit man if you really believe he has been riding for only 1.5 years and only his 3rd trackday!!!!
novice, intermediate 1, intermediate2, advanced
@@USAracing you can learn extremely fast if you have enough money to keep your nose to the grindstone
@@USAracing not really lol, he's crossed up on almost every single turn, he's constantly going wide and making small mistakes
looks like a true beginner with some serious natural talent and balls to go with it, he's doing some things wrong but what he's doing correctly requires commitment and he has all the commitment, your bike isn't less capable because you have less experience, some people learn faster than others and he's on an incredibly capable bike that will allow him to snatch ANY progression in front of him. Some people are just naturals, and if you give naturals the right tools and environment to succeed, they do this.
Who is He ? Name ?
Love watching these types of videos, it illustrates one of the quickest ways to improve your lap time, and that is learning to brake better.
Yessssir!
Love the positivity! Thanks for posting this vid, can’t wait to get back out on the track again
I wish to have 1/10 of this confidence and ability when I do my first track day. I’ve been riding 15 years 🤦🏼♂️
In my country you can visit any track and go on it for 10-15 euros per day. Go shred!
@@manbiteslife3110 which country ? that sounds amazing lol
@@Urmom-qf3mo one that's not out to milk their citizens of all their money for their own financial gain without a care in the world for their safety or survival lol 😆
@@manbiteslife3110 these tracks are like 500 to ride once or twice a year
It's always the first track day that scares the living shit out of you. My guy, once you get past that "initial fear" you'll be screaming in your helmet with joy.
Did my first track day over at Phillip Island on their rental S1000RRs and it did not disappoint. Go out and have a track day!
I remember being overtaken by Terry Rymer (former Enduro Champ) in his formative years at paddock on the Brands Hatch circuit in the UK and then trying to outbreak him into Druids. Hahaha, that's when I truly realised that the top 0.5% of riders have a godly feel for their bikes that I would never be able to develop. I could see it but not replicate that level of feel. It was enlightening.
same feeling when Trevor Nation FLEW past on the brakes at a N.Gloucester club meeting
I hate that mindset.
If another human being can do it. It is physically possible. Intern. Possible for you to do as a human.
If u see another person do something. It. Is. Possible
@@prodbybabygod7411 I can bounce a basketball, if I trained every waking moment of every day for the rest of my life, I would never be able to come even remotely close to the level of Michael Jordan in his prime, I could get really good, but being the best is just never going to happen.
@@prodbybabygod7411 so true... In general I take that view, but sometimes.. man some people they are just better than you at some stuff, and there is no shame in that.. you can't learn everything and be godly at it all. People that grow up doing something generally have the edge over those that pick it up later in life. So many things you have to train your body to "accept" when riding a motorcycle and that is multiplied at these speeds.. if genuinely "new" to riding this is a good example of Natural Talent.
@@DenvarShay if you started when he did. Nah fuck that if you stopped doing anything expect practicing bball. You could. So sad you cunts have no drive.
I was just thinking 'CR needs a faster bike' and it flashed up on screen ! It's remarkable what you can do on the XR, but sportsbikes will always have the advantage on the track (for similar ability riders). That guy's phenomenal ! Congrats on the new track job 👍
Thanks Nick. Hopefully next year 🤞
Exactly. Can you imagine CR on an M1000RR? Who's passing him? (-;
Recognize the fact that the instructor waves: come closer, overtake me. Happend the first time to me in Holland. Busy in a corner, working my ass off. The instructor looked behind, one handed almost doing a kneedown, and waved to come closer... 😅 Learned a lot how much a bike van do. Like the video and the way its filmed and commented👍
Thanks for sharing..that was impressive to watch ..both riders.. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
I used to instruct formula drivers and freelance instruct track days. One time at track day in NJMP amongst a bunch of exotic cars there was a Mazda 3 in the novice run group with no instructor. I go over to him and he says none of the instructors will sit with him, his car is boring and he's the outright slowest person on track. We head out on track and what I saw was a student driving perfect but no idea for how fast he could go. I tell him to pull into pits, we swap seats. I take him out and show him he can go a lot faster. We returned to the pits to swap again so he can use the lessons learned. And like a damn savant he goes out with me, and starts hustling the car like a PRO! Every braking point, trailing turn in, smoothness, correction, throttle application was damn near perfect. He went from being the bane of the novice group that everyone didn't want around to owing the people in Ferraris, lambos, & vettes. The had to put him in the advanced run group that day. I've never seen that in my life, and I've taught thousands of people! The guy just knew what to do, he was only missing the confidence in the speed of his car. I'll never forget that guy.
That's super rare for sure. I feel with cars there are ways to get proficient before hitting the track, such as racing sims and karting. I know by the time I did my first HPDE, I had at least 100 hours on Gran Turismo, it felt very natural. With motorcycles, the learning curve and chances of crashing are much higher, it's truly hard to be fast on the early stages without taking significant risk.
@@CubanRider lol to a degree I would concur. I've seen plenty of sim guys come in their car and leave in an ambulance. And knowing my experiences have been pretty crazy in cars, I can only imagine what you've seen. I keep telling my wife in going to start going to motorcycle track days. I quit riding street due to safety (car drivers) but I would love to learn bike dynamics. I started watching motogp a few years ago and it's truly art work, esp Marquez! The ability of the rider to move their body and affect handling mid corner is nuts.
@@ShipMonster I would not want to instruct car track days, that's for sure! Too many drivers with overpowered cars and not enough skill to handle it. Same goes for motorcycles, but most of the times the riders just park it in the corners. Transitioning to motorcycle track riding has been one of the most rewarding things I've done. I tell myself the consumables are much cheaper, but at the end of the day, it's a lot of money to be competitive.
I am not a rider but I enjoyed this video. The filming and commentary were good. Thanks for no "music" too! The sound of the bike is all we need.
Great video man. I was at one of the track events at the Barber Raceway in Leeds Alabama. They had a training class that had been going on for a while. Now, these were nothing but 5,6, and 7-year-old boys and girls. They had a little track built just for them. Oh man, those kids were flat-out tearing that track up. I was told that a few of them were reaching speeds of 60 to 70 mph. One of them low sided in one of the turns. They went to help the kid. But, by the time they got there. "She" had the bike back up, and took off like the true little speed demon she was.
I had a blast just watching them. The future of MotoGP is going to be very interesting. 😎
Car enthusiasts can develop an eye for braking marker, corner turn in, apex, corner exit, radius, camber, elevation, traction and the properties of the traction circle, as well.
Completely agree, that's how I got started.
Will you please make a video about braking? Specially for hairpins and body position just before the apex.
A trail braking video would be great as well. Thanks and great riding!
I second, third, and forth this comment 👍
Love your vids Cuban, having a blast out there I see!!!. BMW get this man on a S1000rr!
My wife always wanted me to race my RDs that I built into race bikes. I rode for 11 years every day back and forth to work rain or shine before I bought myself a car. I knew I was good but the race track will always make you a better rider. I never had the finances or the backing so I just rode on the streets.
I saw MA Twins Cup champion Kaleb De Keyrel zoom by right behind SDK and Rory too. Not sure if his Aprilia is quite the same class of performance as theirs though!
On my first track day i was moved to advanced level from beginner group because i was too fast. As soon as my instructor told me that im too good to be in lower levels, i got too confident thinking im so good and have a natural talent. However, after doing 2 session, i realized im nowhere near experienced riders that i rode with in that advanced level. Got my ego hurt so bad 😂😂. But still it was one heck of a experience tho.
The electronic aids on the newer bikes definitely allow newer riders to be a little more hamfisted and get away stuff you never would have been able to get away with years ago.
about 3:20 into the video the red bike has his front wheel up for a minute right out of the turn. the guy is in his element and has my respect
You caught that too! #YeeHaw! =)
That's him pinning the throttle and the electronics keeping him from looping it. A $30K Ducati is responsible for that wheelie more so than the rider.
Looks like super clean pavement, love tracks like these
I have been riding since 1972 race amateur from 96 to 99. RGV250 class or 250 class. This kid if he keeps on training, Will be amazing. He will give Josh herrin and run for his money in a couple years
awesome style video. I enjoyed it very much. Never will I ride at this level on a track, but even as a road rider I still take note of certain things. Thanks, I subscribed to your channel.
Sry, what is the name of the track?
Circuit of The Americas; nice track, first when i read it; it doesnt look like Road America ^^. I am soo tired... would like to see such an event @greenhell^^.
The difference is a fewcof them are faster on the od corner or straight line but the ease that this guy does it is so smooth
I also noticed he is smart, using GP shift pattern. WAY better for track riding. Impressive, thanks for sharing!
What is a GP shift pattern. I know all the downshifting, rev matching stuff but that is new to me.
@@mattgoodmangoodmanlawnmowi2454 i believe its reverse of normal shifting 1st gear up all other down
@@simetar88 Just like old school before the USDOT made everyone switch from right side 1 up-neutral & the rest down to the opposite side.
Always thought that since most people are right footed & shifting requires more fine motor nerve coordination, that they screwed up.
But that was about the time Joan Claybrook was the head admin. She presided over the Corvair fiasco & wanted to make seatbelts mandatory on motorcycles.
Some days I think I'm really quick, then you post a new video ..and shatter my illusion!!!!!
He’s got the brakes, and turn in, but needs to work on exit angle and wider exit, use more track. He’s powering on to hard after apex.
But hats off to him for 1.5 years riding, he’ll come on quick
I can conclude, the guy has money. 3 track days, full suit, Panigale V4, and less than 3 years riding experience.
Maybe so , but talent is talent. I've done plenty of track days with plenty of folk with all the gear and upgrades but absolutely no fuggin' idea of a racing line, braking point or where they should even be on the bike.
@@DoctorELNewberry that’s what we in the car racing community call “all the gear and no idear.”
Killing it as usual 🔥
Hope he gets really well and decides to take on small comp racing. Even with crashes I hope he still gets it. Glad to see
Love the videos it will help for next year’s track day
Endlich mal was Gescheites von so einem Rundstreckenrennenfilm! Vielen Dank fürs Teilen!
D'ont be fooled...he's an ex pizza delivery rider.
You're a beast on the brakes! Guys got skills, n perfect analogy of fearless
That is quick. Wish I had my progress recorded. My 9th track day was new racers school. He might want to start racing. Thats the real measuring contest. 😆
there's a fine line between No Fear, Experience, knowledge of the track and then becoming one with the asphalt, some riders brains just think differently no matter what bike they get on. that's why when you're young you feel invincible and can really push the limits of whatever you're doing, some people dont grow out of that stage, just look at Guy Martin, he's held together by nuts and bolts but still pushes just as hard as the day he started riding.
There's a fine line between genius and a madman he snorted that line,
Not my saying but love it.
Buenas! Te sigo desde hace tiempo, siempre entras a circuito con las Michelin power cup 2? Tengo una xr y siempre entro con Dunlop d212 y quería probar Michelin. Las recomiendas? Da gusto verte. Un saludo
Si, mucho que las recomiendo. Buenisimas, un agarre tremendo.
That rear view at 3:18 tho that guy was going HAMMMMM
i really want to do a racing course and get some track hours down. only been riding for a year. though my friends that i ride with always think ive been riding longer than i have been.
It would be interesting to see the times the instructors and such run on that track with the same bike, then to track his progression each session he does to gauge his improvements and how quickly they are coming on exactly. Spectacular vid and rider.
Nice, and it will be nice to have a track. Here on the island (Malta) we only have one for 1/4 mile track , with 1000 promises to have one
The fastest learner I ever met got a CBR 954 for his first street bike and within 18 months was starting on a ama super sport line at Miller Motorsports Park. Never met anybody that learned that fast before, so much natural talent it almost seemed unfair.
That's insane!
@@CubanRider Thanks for the reply Cuban rider. I've actually convinced two guys to buy a BMW 1000 XR after showing them some of your videos. You seem to have quite a bit of natural talent yourself.
thats BS!!!! and Ben Spies took alit longer
@@USAracing apples and oranges Ben Spies was a top professional competing for the win from the very start. The guy I know was never competing for the win he is more like your local fast guy that gets to compete when the AMA shows up at your home track.
954cc for his first street bike? Thats just dumb early death for sure
There's always one guy in the comments who's a bit sour and I wonder if it's me this time lol - I'd be curious to know how much of the "fearlessness" comes from the rider aids. Jumping from a GSX-R 1000 with no aids to a BMW S1000RR with all the bells and whistles, I felt like a ham-fisted god that could do no wrong! Except then you factor in this guy's line and brake point adjustments and maybe he's just really, really good!
Electronics aside, he's really good in figuring how to go fast, comfortable on the side of the tire and strong on the brakes. You can coach someone all you want, but if they don't have the go-fast bug, they will do everything just like you told them, except at much slower pace. If you're this talented from the get-go, then coaching becomes so much easier. Once this man figures out COTA, I'm not going to be able to touch him... unless that is, I get myself a faster bike.
@@CubanRider I’m not a huge Ducati fan, but I can’t deny that they are an absolute weapon on track, not just speed but handling too. I could see how much drive he was able to achieve whilst maintaining a tighter line on corner exit. It made a huge difference on the switchback through 8-9(?) I’m not taking anything away from him as he is very talented, achieving what others never will in such a short time.
There's some truth to this, however there's a factor everyone seems to forget and that's the power difference between no help bikes and modern bikes. My 04 rsv has no abs, no tc, no wc, and I ride it just as hard as my tuono with all the gizmos with no issue. However, my tuono makes 35-40 more horsepower and has a fatter torque curve, and without aids I def get away with a little more than normal but not much. Watching some of my own videos the tc is seamless and didn't even realize it coming on in some areas. I also ride with almost all of the rider aids off, so while the safety net IS there, it's more a peace of mind than anything else cause they can and will get incredibly intrusive even at medium settings.
Even with everything set to level one, I can still slide the ass end out on corner exit, I can still hover the rear end under heavy braking, rear abs is off, so don't think electronics are this catch all, modern day electronics are incredibly sophisticated and the individuals who rely too much on them will never get as fast as people who understand and know their bikes capability
That looks like the most fun ever. I need a track day
Hope to make it out to COTA this coming year! Excited it’s going to be my first track day.
Do it. Fair warning, you'll be spoiled after experiencing COTA as your first track. Incredible experience.
The guy did FANTASTIC for so little experience, 1.5yr. TRAINING vs Time in the saddle is key; it shows. EVERYBODY should book some track time.
Where is this. I need to ride here for the winter off season! Ahh I see. COTA.
If you're riding with SDK, and your channel is "cuban rider", are you Escalante? I love watching those two guys battling out. Great riding!
One of my favourite videos to watch.. I wish I was on this track with your guidance ❤
Yes, very impressive riding! Look out when he gets his body position sorted, too!
Love it… 👍🏻 I gotta ride Cota. 2023 Let’s go… if that was November 27, my friend was there… I couldn’t make it. Soon. 🔥
That Panigale sounds savage.
Are SDK and Cam done with moto2 next year?
Looking at the backend is he on a Panigale? Excellent video this.
HAHA. I saw the American Racing bike come up next you at 1:12, was ready to ask about it when you popped on the screen they were in the house. Nice
Verdict ? Awesome talent ? Bravery ? Or all of the above 😁
Shout out to all my RideSmart Coaches just an amazing organization rode there in 2021 and was so memorable COTA is a super fast and technical track not just stop and go plus you have to have stamina and endurance to go at this pace...#TraxStarz

I have the same question
Would have been cool if there was a video on him somewhere. Did you make one together chatting? Would like to see that.
Very last clip of the newer video, just very briefly.
Nothing beats a Track Day on a DUCATI at COTA!!!!! 👍👍🤙
How old is he?
Is he really good on a bicycle?
Did he used to ride dirt bikes as a kid?
Is he a good car driver?
Does he drive cars on a circuit?
Some people are very good learners, good skills, comes easy. Like playing sports at break time in school Vs driving Vs bicycles Vs hockey Vs darts Vs pool Vs shooting etc. I had varying levels at all of those.
That famous internet guy, KimDotCom, he was the best out of 15,000,000 players at Call Of Duty, as well as being internationally wanted, funding politicians, friends with Elon Musk, rich etc.
It's a mixed bag!
Hope we can see him in professional races. Very promising for 1.5 years of experience. :)
Great to read your comments. Man I would like to ride on track with you.
what is your bike? ducatti?
Great weekend. Thanks for coming out. It seems as if the novice group is getting better. If I had known you were going to be out there would have stopped by to say "hi." I usually work T20 but was on T4 this time, wave next time you're here.
I am new to this channel. So what bike are you riding and what is the other guy? Sounds like a V2 (V4?) Ducati, I am curious what model it is? It has got insane acceleration!
Camera bike is a BMW S1000XR, other one is a Panigale V4R.
Looks like he already has the hang of powering out of corners, I can understand why he was fast for a new rider. Also really not afraid to give it a good lean.
how can i set up a track day at COTA
nice video man
I have one question I see u do some mechanics also possible one day u make a video for valves clearance for s 1000 XR ?
What is the brand of your gloves?
Hey Cuban, Is there a way you could explain his ability? Did you have a chance to speak with him after the track day was done? With only three total days on track I could imagine it'd be incredibly difficult to learn, understand and then apply advanced techniques/concepts if he were just cruising out on the street. Would love your insight! Great video by the way!
Doubt he was just "cruising" on the streets. Many riders get their fundementals on the streets, even take them to advanced levels. Now, average people may not like them (as they routinelly violate many traffic codes), but you can not say skill can not be learned on the street. I have known those who race on the track, who still take it to public roads as part of their "training". (We of course do not like to call it "training" --it's just fun).
Hey Cuban Rider! I was there that weekend too. Although I was in the novice group :) it was a beautiful weekend! Hopefully one day we’ll get to see each other out there.
Anh more footage from Rory and Sean Dylan Kelly? Were they travelling at full speed?
I only rode in their group once and got passed while warming the tires, would've loved to catch them on video the rest of the day.
WOW, that track is HUGE, looks like an airfield, LOL! Close to where I live there is only one track, short, narrow and with no space for errors...
Hi Cuban Rider, what bike are you using in this video? Would appreciate to know. Cheers!
Love that sound going through the gears
was this during thanksgiving break? if so, I think me and my friend saw yall go at the first turn, y'all are fast!
Let me know, what kind of tires are on your bike?
Fantastic, these videos are very inspiring!
Whats your top speed on XR? Thanks
You've got some high handlebars. Do you compete in King Of The Baggers?
What tyres and size do you use on your XR sir? I would like to bring my XR too in track here in the PH
I know Rory, followed and supported him since he was a kid on a bike. Our bike group put some sponsor money his way in the early days.
As to your lad in the vid, we say "every day is a school day", but in his case he seemed to be making progress every lap. What was he on a Ducati?
That's awesome. He was on those American Racing bikes, not even sure what powerplant they were running. 765 Triumph engines? I only ran in the advanced group once, but those guys were flying.
@@CubanRider Yes these are the Moto2 bikes he is racing this year. Hopefully after 2 years he gets a MotoGP place.
He was excellent in the BSB series until a serious accident he got tangled up in.
Have a look on RUclips bit scary. ruclips.net/video/fXZd9gu5sfQ/видео.html

The fact that you use S1000XR really blows my mind. Is it the case here?
@1:19 not gonna lie... That made my sphincter pucker😜
Hes new??? Damn. That boy is fearless
Sounds like someone is looking for sponsorship… nice riding!
I love track days. I take my 21' MT07 and just fool around. It's exhilarating passing Ducatis and R1s on the corners, just to see them fly by me later lol. But still so much. Fool around on the track, so you could enjoy the streets guys.
Some times you just come across born natural riders, they are the ones the teams are on the look out for
Nice video. I was lucky enough to ride at COTA during one of the first track days that Ride Smart did, great track and trackday provider.
Oh cool I was here that day in intermediate
