Pratice ........ LOTS OF IT .................
usually good eye point n throttle control -
I think the key is not to be scared. Just lean in when turning keep your eye point. Practise more and you'll get the hang of it.
I can do it so can you!
Good luck! -

2.let ur body adjust to the speed and bike position
3.no fear!!! muz be brave and dare to go with proper speed

look ahead, grip tank tightly with your thighs and lots n lots of practice

Figure 8 - just enjoy the centripedal force and this should be easy. Practise with bicycle if necessary. Basically same idea.
Crank course - throttle control is the key. Must really practise your throttle control a lot. If really cannot, go abit faster. May lose some point, but better than falling off. -
figure 8: eye focus veri important. me once look up from d point then kanna kerb and go flying across. don't lose ur focus.
crank course: more practise.....
most of all practise more n not get too nervous during TP. -

traffic jams, road constructions, maneuvering in and out of situations. 1st or 2nd gear, it doesn't matter. Just practise more and get used to the bike.Originally posted by fahq:this fig 8 and crank course don't make sense, other then u turns, how often do u corner at such slow speed on the streets? have do it it in 2nd gear? what the fuck?
If you want to know how to turn fast at a smaller angle, tilt your bike more to the curve and lean your body away from the bike. -
like playing games like that, no need to worry.
Just look where you want to go. -
Well for the thread starter , not sure u passed or not by this time
Anyway I just try to give these tips:
(1) Break the course as a section of intervals
(2) Look far ahead.Try not to concentrate looking at the path in front of you.
(3) Most important, Focused your eye-point at the "next interval" while you are negotiating the course,rather than the path in front of you.
(4) Try to be brave and don't go too slow inside the course.Just do it confidently.It will impress the instructors who is tired sitting in the sun.
(5) Lastly , good luck -
1. Far-eye point
2. And LEAN baby... Just lean and follow the the bends. It really helps. -
1) Look where you're going attentively.Originally posted by MyNickisZ:Any tips on how to pass these 2 courses smoothly? cdc's one..
2) Bend your arm and wraist comfortably.
3) Use your knees to grip the tank firmly.
4) Keep your body as closely as possible to the tank.
4) Apply only front brake if bike's going too fast.
5) Good throttle control. -
