Merideth13 is quite the entertainer.
Lots of people get confused about countersteering because they are taught to push right to go right. The exact same effect on the bike can be had by pull left to go right. I think countersteering should be taught as bars left to got right. It doesn't matter if you push, pull, or do both.
I've often wondered why we don't crash every time we go through the transition form low-speed handling (counterweighting) to high-speed handling (countersteering). My guess is we use weight transfer to extend the effective speed range of one technique into the speed range of the other. What are your ideas about this.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.
the main reason beginners are taught "push right, go right" and "push left, go left" is because it's easier to remember - right/right, left/left, same side. they already have enough they're trying to learn.qwerty wrote:Lots of people get confused about countersteering because they are taught to push right to go right.
