Thank you for posting that, Mr Panda!

I watched it until my battery died which, fortunately, was right at the very end.

A lot of great information that was also fun to watch. I found that, for me at least, a lot of the techniques are intuitive and come naturally to a body at speed. But then there's the other side of the coin and I learned several things that I need to practice and improve at.

Highly recommended (but you'll need plenty of time).  :)

94 minutes to be exact.

Another 'no lie' item is photos or video of you in action. The lens is brutally honest.

I have the CD already.
Cal Superbike school has a branch in England. If you look for their vids they spend a lot more time on body position and body movement on the bike. Very informative.

That's why I have video download addon on my Chrome (and similar on Firefox) so I can save them locally.

Mostly I have some old documentaries, stand-up comedy and music videos. Stuff I'd like to take with me offline or I think will not stay available for long. Another reason is that some videos just do not play well while streaming and they start buffering every now and then.  

edit: it was taken down within one week :/

I managed to watch the whole thing before it was taken down and thought it was great.  Coming from dirt bikes, I thought it was really helpful and I ordered both the books from Amazon after watching it.  Haven't had a chance to read them yet, but looking forward to going through them soon.  For $30 shipped for the pair I figured it was a good deal.

Thanks for posting the video!
