During
the 1980s, King Kenny (3 time world champion Kenny
Roberts)
began training up and coming riders on XR100 mini-bikes to improve and
enhance the riders skills using bikes just like ours (mini-bikes
that have less than 10hp). Riders such as Wayne Rainey (3 time world champion),
Eddie Lawson (4 time world champion), John Kosinski (2 time world champion)
have all utilized this valuable training even while competing at the world
championship level. This not much talked about training has been used
and is still used by current riders such as the Hayden brothers, the Bostrom
brothers, Colin Edwards, Tony Elias and yes, even Valentino Rossi! How
do you think all of these guys learned to slide a bike so well? The drills
and techniques we use translate directly to all types of riding and all
areas of riding: balance, throttle control, body positioning, traction,
weight bias, peg weighting, vision and references, just to name a few points. All of these elements combine to make you a better rider no matter what
type of riding you do. Street riders will find that they have
a greater sense of awareness of their skills and improvement in their
riding. Racers will find that and much much more. The training we do at
Cornerspin is not new but new to most riders. Call it the best kept
secret of the pros.
