Seems like very basic stuff, but the video seemed too good to not link up for others to see.

Its 15 minutes long, but does a pretty good job of offering some basic information for a track day outing.

People with track day experience are more then welcome throw in.

I think it's pretty damn hilarious that "backing it in" is #3.... When you consider the rest of the content I'd say that's the last thing their apparent target audience should be working on.

But with that said, I'd say they did about as good of a job as they could with only 15 minutes to cover 10 topics.... but it hardly scratches the surface & misses a lot of the basics.

That is a pretty good vid but I would agree it should be aimed at advanced group riders. I wont show novice riders how to trail brake or certainly not how to back it in...

A lot of riders are probably trail-braking and not even know it. I know I was doing it before I knew there was a term for it. I owuld just tell people to go maybe 5-10% on the brake while entering the turn to continue slowing down and stabilizing the bike a bit more.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't in any particular order. Number 1 was obviously first because you should get to know the track first. If it was in order, don't you think the starting chapter woulda been 2nd?
