Trail braking on the track or on a drill team is NOT the same as trail braking on public roads. Bret Tkacs presents during the Shiny Side Up talk series in New Zealand. This is video from the Auckland talk (2020).

This is the 2nd of three videos completing the talk. This portion of the talk discusses the advantages of trail braking on the street while riding a motorcycle (motorbike). Different than trail braking on a racetrack and not the "drag the rear brake" or grab the brakes in the corner definitions that so many riders believe are trail braking.
