1st Thought - same ole stunt show then realized Hones on Woods bike was only using phase 3, 4 & 5, never using what we do to steer out of drive way then on down the road. Oh my. He even demo's unicycle turns and shows how to squeal even that focused grip! He does sharp decreasing radius turns by straight steering, by letting the front dolly wheel and rear aim by its lean angle, Wonderful. Hands off of course!
Hot dog that's the key to living on THE G aka THE Edge and making some progress without too much terror. Let the bike just fall into the turns, even if that means helping it with bit of spin-slip, providing the extra traction gotten by ~10% slip-age-squeal-age. I'm not stunter level but sure want to learn almost that level as already done all the elements in crisis on Commando's. I know its crazy beyond discussion but can ya even imagine an isolastic Commando following this act. I'm afraid I can.

All good but the show for me begins at 22 sec.

No hands would be good to carry a goat under each arm on the way home.
Wonder how long a Commando frame would last ? (engine etc might suffer too with lack of oil)

But remember they are young and heal quickly, and have the best drugs.
 
Thanks for a realistic response. A fully fetter Commando is rather responsive to body English hands off till going over 60 then wheel gyro's makes it too sluggish to use.
If my power plant works out I will have to learn how to handle wheelies while learning to avoid them on sprints. Many moderns are oil starved soon as front lifted much and many have seized going by the web threads on this.
I get almost that lifted or dropped just staying on surface careful as I can in Ozarks so I've made provision for oil feed unless upside down. I've also made provision to hold nose down to prevent wheelies but still want to learn em more or less in time.

Its more the tight turns and drifting burn outs that interest me as it the same skill to handle blow outs and dodge stuff thrown in path. As Commandos don't do stoppies - will have to just slide a locked front a dozen yards to make a show of braking.
