Direct Steering VS countersteering slow speed
What is actually the proper method for slow speed cornering under 30km/h ? Some ppl tell me that under 30km/h you need to direct steer, and above you should use countersteering. Other people told me I should always countersteer (what I’m doing right now) but I am wondering if maybe that is the issue of why I’m sometimes not taking my turns correctly?

@Gert Massaer when I do figure 8s in the parking lot it's always under 20kmh and it's all direct steering and you definitely need to counter weight and just let the bike dance under you

@Gert Massaer so when you turn the bars to the right and the bike leans to the right your body should be in an upward position kind like this | you / bike Idk if that makes sence but yea lol
Not even a "my bad" 🤦‍♂️
At about 5 secs in the video I could already see the truck moving and by that time had my front brake covered
