Looking good, now you just need a set of 89' Clip-Ons or some fork-tube clamp clip-ons so you get you CG a little lower

CG=center of gravity

nice video. nice riding. you look like you could carry more speed if you hung off a bit more, but that may just be the view I had. also, on a small bike every little bit helps-so tuck in your elbows on the straights, lol! consider getting the SM bars instead of the clip ons, unless you are going to upgrade...

Definitely going to upgrade, I'm going to give the GS to my little bro so he can figure out if he wants a SuMo or keep the GS around as he is turning 18 here next month.

That was the 4th session of the day, I definitely was working on tucking more and carrying a lot more speed via hanging off as the rest of the day wore on.  I wish I could have had him follow me in the last session...ah well.

Smooth riding. 

Try to move your butt off the seat. It may feel odd at first but I started learning on the street by hanging off in every turn, no matter if I needed to or not. Even intentionally moved around in the seat a little to upset the bike some to see how it would react. This gave me the confidence to hit the turns faster. Lower bars will help too.
