It is amazing, it's called friction zone, applied rear brake and clutch feathering...and no I can't do that...but I do practice...turn arounds and such...
Those men and women have some skills....hats off!
We have a Ride Like a Pro franchise here in Southern Maryland. I took their course last year. The course layout is based on 24 foot distances in the u turns and circles. it was a hoot for sure. It points out what you don't know. by the end of the day, you are throwing your bike around and running the course pretty much with ease. They offer a Top Rider Challenge where the maneuvers are based on 20 and 18 foot restrictions. I might have to take a look at that one. It might be fun. One thing I can say is that its a fleeting skill....if you don't practice, your confidence and ability to perform those slow maneuvers diminishes. I'd recommend the basic course, or something similar, to anyone that has an opportunity to take it.
One thing you can take from that video is watch where he is looking. The first lesson instructors teach is look a head where you are going, not in front where you are at. That guy does a really good job of showing it. You would be amazed what you can do once you develope that habit. The bike is going where your eyes are looking.
