RIDE SERIES 005 - THE RIDER MINDSET is the main theme of this Rider Series discussion between Jorge and Chappy (Neil Chappell).Whether you’re carving up corners on the track, cruising mountain roads, or weaving through weekday traffic, this episode is about something that matters just as much as throttle control or tyre pressure… and that’s mindset.Because let’s be honest, your motorcycle will only ever go where your mind lets it. From handling fear on a fast lap, to staying sharp in unpredictable traffic, to hitting that perfect flow state where everything just clicks, it all starts in your head.While these boys aren’t psychologists of any kind, they decided they’d still dive in headlong into a discussion about what makes a great rider from the neck up based on their years of experience.There’s no doubt that track focus, road awareness, emotional control, and mental habits separate the safe, smooth, and skilled motorcyclists from the sloppy and reactive riders who never reach their potential.—————PODCAST VIDEOTo view this podcast and snippets on video, visit our YouTube channel podcast playlist here:https://www.youtube.com/@TheBikeStig/podcasts —————OUR SPONSORSThe Bike Stig YouTube Channel: - https://www.youtube.com/thebikestig MiniGP Academy New Zealand - https://www.minigpacademynz.com/ —————PRODUCTS WE USE AND SUPPORTSC Project Exhausts - https://sc-project.com.auKustom Cockpits - https://kustomcockpits.com/ Metzeler Tyres - https://www.metzeler.com/en-au/home Pirelli Tyres - https://www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-au/motorcycle/homepageRicondi Leathers - https://www.raceandroad.com.auRide Dynamics - https://ridedynamics.com.auCSS Australia - https://www.superbikeschool.com.auCSS New Zealand - https://www.californiasuperbikeschool.co.nz/ Ilmberger Carbon - https://ilmberger-carbon.de/Start.aspxJetprime - https://jetprime.com.auS1K Racing - https://s1000kracing.com.auBitubo Race Suspension - https://www.bitubo.com.au/ SA1NT Clothing - https://www.saint.cc RaceDNA - https://racedna.com.au/ —————AUDIOThe music on this podcast is used under license from Artlist - License Number 248442—————TAGS#trackdays #ridecoach #motoedition #podcast #riderseries #trackcoach #pirelli #motorcycletyres
