Thank you for posting that, Mr Panda!

I watched it until my battery died which, fortunately, was right at the very end.

A lot of great information that was also fun to watch. I found that, for me at least, a lot of the techniques are intuitive and come naturally to a body at speed. But then there's the other side of the coin and I learned several things that I need to practice and improve at.

Highly recommended (but you'll need plenty of time).  :)

94 minutes to be exact.

Another 'no lie' item is photos or video of you in action. The lens is brutally honest.

I have the CD already.
Cal Superbike school has a branch in England. If you look for their vids they spend a lot more time on body position and body movement on the bike. Very informative.

Bought it some time ago. (the older video). Still read the book shown in the video every season.  Learning and still learning from it.  It helped me a lot.

Now go out and buy the disc and book and support the makers!!!

That's why I have video download addon on my Chrome (and similar on Firefox) so I can save them locally.

Mostly I have some old documentaries, stand-up comedy and music videos. Stuff I'd like to take with me offline or I think will not stay available for long. Another reason is that some videos just do not play well while streaming and they start buffering every now and then.  

edit: it was taken down within one week :/

I managed to watch the whole thing before it was taken down and thought it was great.  Coming from dirt bikes, I thought it was really helpful and I ordered both the books from Amazon after watching it.  Haven't had a chance to read them yet, but looking forward to going through them soon.  For $30 shipped for the pair I figured it was a good deal.

Thanks for posting the video!
