Movie Reviews of A Twist of the Wrist II

Movie Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD completely exceeded my expectations. I've read the Twist of the Wrist books, and honestly didn't expect to get much new information from this DVD, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn a LOT from it. The riding techniques are clearly explained and demonstrated really well with on-board footage, video overlays, and right vs wrong examples that really drive home the training points. I got a much better understanding of some of the ideas, after seeing them demonstrated by riders in the video, compared to the drawings and photos in the books.

The story line is pretty light, and seems to be there mostly to keep the video entertaining and tie it together. But, the story does its job - it's easy to watch the DVD all the way through and not get bored or overwhelmed, even though it contains a tremendous amount of training information. It certainly is NOT a boring lecture film - there's some amazing video of tire slides, and there are slow motion, close-up and on-board shots that are very impressive. The actual video quality was a huge surprise, it was all shot in hi-def.

Overall, it was fun to watch and most importantly, it gave me LOTS of new skills I can't wait to try out in my riding. It's definitely the most clear and useful motorcycle training I've ever seen (well, a real race school at the track would probably be better, but this DVD is a lot easier to come by!). I think this video would be a huge help to anyone with a motorcycle, whether new to the sport or already riding in the "Fast" group at the racetrack.

Summary of A Twist of the Wrist II

Here comes the release of the long-awaited training DVD from Keith Code, A Twist of the Wrist II. Filmed in Hi-Def and utilizing visual effects and sophisticated film making techniques, the 109-minute film brings Code's best selling book vividly to life in a clear and dynamic way, covering multiple aspects of the technical points he discovered. The film follows the journey of two new riders, from canyon roads to track, as they encounter their own limitations and uncertainties in their riding and then learn to overcome them with the correct techniques that apply in each scenario. They gain confidence and control, start to have fun and improve.  Once a rider gets the idea there is a technology then and only then can he conquer his fears and uncertainties on cornering and at that point improvement is virtually unlimited. The film delivers precision techniques for barriers to cornering such as rider input, fundamentals on steering, visual skills, braking, body position, throttle control and more. All the techniques are thoroughly explored using multiple camera angles, onboard shots and CG animation in over 1400 shots. It was painstaking, precision work that paid off, this film shows riding technique in ways that have never been done before.
