RE: [ST] Brake sliding

["Masiak, Richard" <Richard_Masiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, it looks cool and we all wish we can do it.  But I saw a post, I think in the Code Forum, that mentioned  Rossi told Nicky Haden to forget all the fancy tricks and perfect the basics.  That comes from a Champion.

Also, if you think about it, Europe grooms the rider for MotoGP on 125cc and 250cc.  That's because it's the best platform to perfect basic technique and carry corner speed.  No fancy shmancy riding, just the purest basic form.

It all comes down to the basics no matter what sport it is, after that it's just fluff for show.

  The tricky part is the required transition from brake slide to 
power slide on the exit, very fancy clutch and throttle work indeed.
