Description
Want smoother, more controlled riding? In this episode of Better Riding, we break down one of the most important advanced riding skills: blending your #motorcycle controls.
Joined by expert coach Mark McVeigh (https://www.motorbikecoach.com), we explain how overlapping your throttle, brake, and steering inputs keeps your bike stable, improves grip, and makes your riding smoother and more precise.
⚠️ This is an advanced technique designed for practice in controlled environments - perfect for developing feel and confidence, not pushing limits on public roads.
What you’ll learn:
- What “blending controls” actually means
- How weight transfer affects grip and stability
- Why smooth inputs improve bike control
- How trail braking fits into control blending
- Simple drills to build your skills safely
- How better control can reduce stopping distance
Key takeaway:
Blending isn't about riding aggressively - it's about control, finesse, and understanding your bike at a deeper level so you can react better when it matters most.
