Quick Tip: Head & Eyes UP!

CaptCrashIdaho · 07-28-2012, 01:22 PM

Sometimes it's awfully easy to get hung up and stare a the ground ahead of you or the license plate up front. Keep your head and eyes up--LIVE 12 to 20 seconds in the future.

I noticed you did a head check on the silver car turning with you on the left. That's a good move to visually check and not assume he's going to stay in his lane.

I think this is the best tip for not having those "close calls". If you start reacting to and planning for something well before it happens, it never gets "close" at all!

Probably the most important street survival skill to have.

I will be showing this to my son who is a new rider. Good information for him, and his dad as well.

Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.
