Better Rider Episode 13: Grip The Bike They Said
How many times have you been told to grip the motorcycle with your knees, ankles or handlebars? We've heard from numerous students that they've been told this, and some of which had heard it from us in the past. However, in the last few years we've realized that gripping the bike actually may not be the best technique for riders to be using 100% of the time. In this episode of the Better Rider Podcast, Jimmy Lewis and Matt Mattoon break down the misconception of needing to grip your bike the whole time you ride!

Customer Reviews
Best improvement you can make is yourself, the rider
Jimmy’s organization pioneered off road adv instruction and he’s taught me everything I know about how to ride off road. Like I used to with golf lessons, I go back again and again and he points out what I forgot 😂. He breaks it down and coaches rider by rider and brings a lifetime of incredible accomplishments. His wife Heather and staff are first class too. If you’re lucky you may catch a few gems about his Dakar, enduro, moto press or Dakar navigation training. He will push you to your best but also has infinite patience (something I could never do). This is about safety and competence. You can look out over that landscape and be confident you can go there after his classes.
Brilliant!
Thank you Jimmy and team! This podcast is very informative and entertaining.
Good stuff!
Jimmy, appreciate you and the folks around you, nice to see you helping these young guys!
