I didn't see a single time you didn't use the clutch to raise the revs

clutch in
gas
clutch out
then gas again

I would not publicly condone steering with your knee at triple digit speeds, although I am not professing total innocence in this regard... if you're going to film it then camera in your left hand, steer with your right, only shift on a straightaway. I tend to want to have both hands on the wheel at anything above 80 or so.

Not trying to dog on you man, it's your decision, but if you're going to film that ish then lodge the camera in between the passenger seat and the headrest or something so you're not hindered... and rev match

^^ I like that exhaust tone, a LOT!! I have to say it didn't look like you were rev matching, but I'll take your word for it what happened to your shoulder dude?

driving my legend, thats how. I took her out for a spin Monday. The weather coulnt have been better.

Anyways, like a jerk, I was flying around the neiborhood oversteered tried to counter quickly and cought my sholder in he sweet spot where it pops out and back in instantly. Worst pain ever. Usually I bearly move by hand (bc of the pain). It happy a so quickly too. Worst was when it happened to me while i was the track. It still hurts to some extent right now

How's your seating position? I've never heard of anyone being injured from countersteering..

I have a fucked up joint from something from when I was litteler. The angle that it pops at us almost the perfect hand position for counter steering. It sux, it's why I have learned to only use my left hand to steer butnbit always. Sometimes you just needb2 hands
