I agree.  It appears to be on the rear swing arm.  I wouldn't have guessed there would be enough clearance.  


Sunshine, we were discussing GP style shifts on another thread.  I noticed how smooth and precise B-Boz is with his shifts.  Nice footwork.

It has to be the swingarm.  Look how much the rearset appears to be moving up and down in relation to the swingarm. (which appears stationary)

Note how both guys ride way up on the balls of their feet (1:18).  Like most sports, you need to be up on your feet, not back on your heels.

The footpeg flexed quite a bit.  Did anyone elsde notice this?  EEK!

I agree with Chris.  The camera is mounted on the swing arm.  Therefore, the camera is moving with the swing arm making it look like the foot pegs are flexing.  Those foot pegs are not moving.  It's a neat angle.  I want to try this with my GoPro at my next track day.   Thumbsup

I like how you can tell when the pace is being picked up by how quickly they transition around the bike.  There was a video of Ben tearing it up at Jennings GP last year that really lets you appreciate the control and aggression it takes to ride at that level.

Thanks for sharing the video!

My homies! Great vid! Inlove

That swingarm mounted cam threw me for a loop as well. At first I couldn't figure out why the reaset was moving around so much. Crazy

When were they down there to test? I drove past the shop the other day and noticed the truck was gone.
