The technique of the motorcycle is wonderful, and the camera angle is good.

You help put to rest the argument 'you can't do that tight turn stuff on a sportbike'. Must... go... practice...
I learned from Palladino's DVD:rear brake is essential.I don't recall that from the MSF's courses. It was only when I began to do that that I could make parking lot turns at all, unless given huge expanses of real estate. I see you getting up a quick bit of speed between cones, which I reason is to give some outward momentum as you tighten into a turn, to counteract falling forces.

I agree that rear ... ( 8 months ago by ConeMonkey)

I agree that rear brake during a turn should be more emphasized in riders courses. It is easier to control speed by rear brake than by throttle. This is especially true for modern fuel-injection bikes, which tend to have a snatchy throttle response at low revs. Rear brake also helps to stabilize the rear suspension, allowing to give a better traction.
I sometimes suggest a novice rider to raise the idling revs a bit when doing a practice. This simplifies the speed control and reduces the fear.

I try to open the throttle whenever possible during a practice unless the aim of the excercise is a real slow-speed maneuver because I intend to hone the overall riding skills including acceleration, braking, and making turns.
There are some other reasons that I open the throttle in this practice.
First, I need traction to raise the bike. As the handlebar is steered all the way left or right at a cone, you can't use a countersteering to reduce the lean angle.

Second reason is close to what mentioned; to allow a deeper lean angle. The turn radius can be reduced by increasing the lean angle, so this is to make a tighter turn.
Third is to apply brakes at the entrance of the next cone. By this you can compresses the suspension, resulting an increase in the effective caster angle of the front fork. This is also beneficial to make a tighter turn. The compressed suspension also helps maintain a good road grip of the tires.
