When you use the throttle and front brake lever at the same time as shown at the 6 to 7 minute mark of the video it's easier to be smooth.
I don't remember them calling it trail braking but that was 30 years ago.
Now, with our dual brake activation and modern electronics, which in 2021 even modulates engine braking, I don't feel nearly as busy or incompetent getting into the corners.

I caught MOAs interview last night, with Dylan Code. Always enjoy listening to smart guys who have spent a lifetime thinking about how to maximize performance on 2 wheels. (No hesitation, uhh's or errr's.)
