what was that following you.. a scooter? or a 250cc

[makenzie71]

is it sad when you recagnize tracks in GP videos because you spent 10 years living in Gran Turismo?

[Alphamazing]

You looked "crossed up" as you informed me about being in a lot of those turns. Or am I seeing it wrong? I'm trying to get a visual cue so I can improve my technique.

yeah, I am totally crossed up. This video was taken 9 months ago and was before I really saw some good photos showing my bad form...I've been working on it ever since I saw how bad I looked...

The best one.

What's "crossed-up"?

[scratch]

You looked smooth.

[Egaeus]

What's "crossed-up"?

Essentially, your ass end is leaning off the bike, but your chest is still over the tank. 

[pantablo]

yeah, crossed up is when your upper body isn't in line with the bike. If I had my head closer to where the mirrors would be ("kissing the mirror" is the term used) then my upper body would be parallel with the bike...I've been working on it since this video...

[RVertigo]

Cool vid... I know nothing about form...

But, the music makes me want to stab my face off.

For reference, tophyr, look at pablo's pictures in his sig and compare them to the video.
