Product Description

This Police Advanced (Motorcycling) Riding Techniques DVD Video is original there are no others like it. It explains police motorcycle riding techniques in detail, and has been created by me, Mike Waite an ex-police rider and advanced instructor, with the aim of presenting the major features of the police system to the general public. It is a safe and repetitive system, followed by police riders. There is a comprehensive section on the visual point; sometimes referred to as the vanishing point. When understood and put into practice it will tell the rider the severity of any bend and is the basis of the system. If you know which type of bend you are approaching you will know which position to be in, increasing motorcycle safety. It also teaches you to look into the far distance; which is not a natural thing to do. We do not hold these positions for no reason but for practicalities. It gives the rider an advantage if it didn't the rider should not be there. Principles of position for all bends; if you think about it there are only 2 bends, left and right; it is their severity that catches riders out. Combining the visual point and dead ground with position sets you up nicely for any bend. Never be afraid of going to slow to any bend. The object is to choose the speed that each rider is capable of doing towards any bend. This varies enormously from rider to rider. The video also shows a ride and asks you to consider each position and movement for what you can and cannot see. Here you will see why the police system is repetitive. This will also demonstrate the smooth riding techniques that police riders are taught. Refreshingly this is not a video saying "You should do this, you must not do that," but it presents all the techniques in sequence to inform and demonstrate and asks you to consider all the features. It is not a substitute for a course but it does give an insight into a cracking system. The riding is at a slow pace so you have time to take in the techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT - A DVD That REALLY Shows How It's Done, 20 Mar 2009
By Mrs. D. Harris - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a DVD that you can watch over and over again and still keep picking up usefull stuff. The film sequences and spoken commentary make it all very clear and easy to understand for both the novice and experienced rider. The part about the VISUAL POINT is a brilliant revelation! Also great to study before doing the Mike Waite practical course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Training DVD, 20 May 2009
Police Advanced (Motorcycling) Riding Techniques DVD
This is a really great instructional video - Mike is a gifted instructor whose commentary is perfect for the video footage as it progresses onscreen. The quality of the DVD is of a high standard as are the ride scenes and it gets across nicely, important features of motorcyle handling - techniques that will keep you safe AND grinning!!
I have seen many motorcycle training vidoes in the past and have always wished they were able to present information better often with fuzzy footage or badly placed cameras you come away wanting. Wanting what??... a DVD like this one thats what!! Well Done Mike - now I'm booking myself on the course!!
