No offense, but videos are better. The pics will give you a breakdown of how the rider is positioned at that moment, but what is that moment??
It's kind of like hearing a sentence out of context.
With a video, you can watch and see the rider's positioning during each segment of the corner and also tell if the positioning is reactive to a certain condition of that segment (i.e. sliding, wheelying, etc.).
This is good stuff, but if you want to really get and idea for what you should be doing, you need to watch some video. Of course, nothing beats the experience....

Funny.....
But I would hope you know what I meant.
Besides, it will be easier to learn how to back it in with that video than it would with pictures....

I know, I wasn't trying to be a wiener and I didn't mean you need to learn to back it in. I meant anybody getting into the whole supermoto thing. As for me I can barley back my car into my driveway let alone rip it up on a supermoto track.

It wasn't meant as a teaching aid Dave... just some fun inspirational photos to get us excited...that stuff is eye candy for me. BroMike texted me he had practiced so I wanted to show him some cool shots of the big boys in action....plus I've been telling "keep those elbows up".
I could back in my wr450 no prob but it was 250 lbs and a 160 rear... The SXV is another story at just under 300 lbs and a 180 rear... no video needed just time on the track...
