Trail Braking with Yamaha Champ School

Guest: Chip Spalding, business development manager and instructor at the nation’s premier motorcycle riding school: Yamaha Champions Riding School.

Topic: Bret and Chip discuss the importance of teaching and using trail braking in all curves, not just off-road.

Key Takeaway: Regarding crashing in a curve: “Most of the time it’s not really a traction limit; our brain shuts down before we actually run out of traction.  We’re the ones who cause ourselves to crash.”
