HOW TO EXTREME BACKING IT IN
Following this tutorial, you can try to back it in riding every type of bike. However for extreme backing it in you need a Supermoto or exceptional riding abilities.
First, tires must be well warmed and inflated at a right pressure (never too much). Generally, if the bike weights around 150 kg, the right pressure is between 1.8-2.0 bar front and 1.6-1.8 rear.
PAY ATTENTION! If you want to back it in you need a gap of speed between the straight and the bend.
As a consequence you have to brake hard using both the frontal and rear brake system.
You have to press firmly with your hand the frontal brake pump. The key is at the first phase of the manoeuvre. Indeed, the rear is lighter so you can have a better control of the bike and overall you can decrease your speed in order to get bending.
I suggest to start backing it in with the bike slightly inclined towards the corner (5-8 degrees).
About the use of the clutch, it’s better to press lightly the lever. Even if you don’t want to shift gear, it’s important to keep under control the engine braking.
However if you change gear, you have to choose it according to the the bend. (Not to back it in at everything!)
The rear brake must be used as a direct consequence of the engine braking. The more you have engine braking the less you need to press the rear brake. Taking under control the combined action of rear brake and engine braking you can increase (or decrease) the sliding of the rear tire.
When the drifting manœuvre has started, your body has to let the rear tire move out. It means in the opposite direction of the corner. So that you sideway gradually.
I suggest to back it in as soon as possible, about 1-3 meters from the brake starting.
Close to the corner the angle of the bike increase and increase and you have to let go slightly the brake levers.
EXTREME BACKING IT IN
When the rake angle is great, the inner feet gets off from the footboard and moves forward as protection. Indeed it’s possible that you need to slide it on the asphalt to help the manoeuvre when the grip isn’t enough.
Meanwhile if the rake angle isn’t extreme or if the surface gives a good grip-confidence, your feet can stay on its footboard.
PAY ATTENTION! If you want to get to extreme backing it in, you have to press on the inner side of the handlebar. This pressing must endure for all the length of the corner, even when you let go the brakes.
About the body position, you have to sit center with your shoulders centered between the front end and the back. But, overall, during the bend of the bike your shoulders must keep out of the centerline of the bike in order to guarantee a good grip by using your body weight.
THE REAR BRAKE IS ESSENTIAL. It helps you to control the “backing it in” and to slow down. So whatever you fail, you won’t go down.
