Motorcyclists from Poland and the Czech Republic raced against the clock through the so-called figure eight and a skills course marked with cones. They had to complete all the slaloms, rotations and other figures in the shortest possible time and with as few errors as possible.
– This is our second edition – says Paweł Jasiński from 2xTAK. – Last year, we hosted more than 30 competitors from Poland and abroad. Our goal is to promote the improvement of riding skills among motorcyclists. This year, too, we have several dozen entries – adds the competition organiser.
A similar number of participants took part in this year’s competition. Gymkhana training helps improve a motorcyclist’s skills and, consequently, their safety on the road. Gymkhana is a discipline requiring perfect control of the motorcycle. Taking tight corners quickly requires the ability to choose the optimal riding line, precise use of the throttle and brakes, and leaning deeply into corners, often right up to the limits of tyre grip. In Japan and the USA, gymkhana is part of police training so that officers can move around city streets as safely as possible.
