Looks a lot like Blueninja all over again.

Johnny Cochran would be proud reading that. You really need to relax. If you over think riding this much, you're going to make the learning process much more difficult. You will over think and over analyze every input to the bike and over compensate for every movement the bike makes that you were not expecting. Your making way to many assumptions trying to find an answer that may not be able to be found. If your body position is proper, there probably isn't much weight on your outside foot. Mine comes off all the time because I have a short inseam. Your inside knee moving didn't upset a 300 lb bike with 3 big gyroscopes enough to crash you. Putting more weight on the inside peg reduces lean angle and lowers the center of gravity. I weigh 260 lbs, trust me in the fact that you can put a lot of weight and move a lot of weight on the pegs and the bike doesn't care that much.redrdr;217614 wrote: There was a point where the back end let go at the end of the first session. I held neutral throttle, stood the bike up a little, and went into the grass. I knew I had lost traction, and I saved it there.To many times, new riders tell how they are pushing the front and the rear is sliding. Many times, the suspension is just doing it's thing. Because it feels different, it had to be a loss of traction.
Again, you say it wasn't any of those. You can't evaluate yourself, especially as a new rider. Even Tiger Woods has a golf coach. Can his coach out play him? Probably not. But he can help him as he learns his style and watches him play.redrdr;217614 wrote:
The session where I crashed was #4, so the track was dry and warm at that point. I was on lap #3, so I would think the tires would be arm. Here is the next issue. Lack of experience. You don't know how much traction was available. You were THINKING the tires were warm and sticky. More experience might tell you otherwise. Traction is finite. It changes every track day, during each a track day and is affected by 100's of factors. You could be running the lap record in the morning. But if gets cold and rains overnight, you may not be able to get anywhere near that time the next day.

redrdr;217734 wrote: It looks like the bike is stable until a certain point. I'm noticing that my outside foot comes off of the peg and my inside knee comes back almost simultaneously. The back end then brakes loose. Anyone know of a video player where you can watch in slow motion? It is starting to seem like the when my left knee came back, the necessary distance between the bike and track had to increase to accommodate my knee being out more. Obviously the track isn't going to give. This probably push my foot into the peg, and this forced the tire out and caused it loose traction. It really looks like things are fine until the outside foot comes off of the peg.

Toss that video in a folder marked, "do not open until October 2015." Then go and enjoy the next few years of track riding. Go back and read this post and watch that video in 2015. You'll be amazed how much you've learned since then and how little any of that helps you determine what happened this year.
Yep. Stick with this.redrdr;217817 wrote: I've noticed this is a tough sport to target what areas need to be improved. I even know I think I'm doing one thing, but I have no idea of knowing I'm actually doing another.
Ya know, that one is kind of creepy.bodell;217798 wrote: How about Gary Busey?
