Slalom and Figure of Eight

Take effective observations before moving off!

Then it's two linked exercises, they're both slow speed balance and control tests.


Slalom and Figure of Eight

There are 5 yellow cones to slalom around and 2 blue ones to ride a figure-of-eight around twice.


Slalom and Figure of Eight

The slalom cones are 4.5 metres apart which means you have to concentrate, then straight into the figure-of-eight, which is even more challenging.

The cones here are 6 metres apart which sounds a lot until you get there and then it isn't.

We used one of our ER 500 DAS bikes to try and make it as realistic as possible and I must say when I (Stewart) did it for the first time I was really trying.

Having said that with practice it won't be hugely difficult.
