There’s a common misconception that to go faster on track, it’s about working harder and pushing our limits each time we head out there. But what if I told you that there are several ways to gain substantial time on track relatively easily, all without having to push your personal limits or go any closer to the limits of grip than you already are. In this video I’m going to share 5 mistakes many track riders make, that when solved will mean big improvements in your confidence, how fast you’re riding, and ultimately, what the lap timer shows.

Trail braking? Body position? Managing grip? Those are racing techniques! But here’s the truth: the same techniques that we use to manage grip at speed are the same ones that keep us alive at 45mph when a blind corner hides gravel, oil, or a car over the line. ✔️ We trail brake to control speed, geometry, and grip. ✔️ We move our bodies to reduce lean angle (less lean = less risk). ✔️ We use our vision and the controls to place the bike exactly where we need it. Grip limits don’t just show up at the racetrack—they show up on your favorite backroad, in the rain, or when traffic surprises you. The question is: when the edge of grip finds you, will you have the tools to manage it? Learn the same, data-proven best practices the world’s best riders use to thrive and survive—at any pace, on any road, on any bike. 👉 Use code WELCOME35 to save 35% on any individual Champ U course today: www.champschool.com Yamaha Motor USA | Dainese | Arai Helmet Americas | Bridgestone Motorcycle USA
