Training is key but training safely is where you’ll really shine. In the pro training video above, Zizan equipped himself with some protective gears before getting his motorsports adrenaline on with the Pengejar Impian riders. HOT TIP! If you want to get better on the road, the best way you can do so is by improving your riding skills off-road.

As usual, one of Malaysia’s funniest comedians sure made an impact with the riders with his funny antics but like the saying goes, “Fun + Learning = The Best Educational Experience”. You’ll learn better when things are more interesting and this video ticks all the boxes.

Why off-road? Well, riders will most likely panic when they get into unpredictable riding conditions (sand or water on the road that make things slippery) and when you ride off-road, it’s always unstable and you need to be able to master and control your motorcycle like a boss.

If you want to be the best, you got to train like the best and these are three tips that you’ll need to greatly improve on: BRAKING, ACCELERATING, and CORNERING.

These three riding aspects are pretty basic when you’re at the driving schools to get your license but riders like Zizan who want to take their skills to the next level can do so with these important tips to not just to become a better rider but safer as well. Want to ride like pro? It’s time to pay your fullest attention now, people!

TIP 1 – BRAKING

There are three things you’ll need to consider when you want to brake like a pro: body position, braking strength, and rear tyre.

NUMBER ONE! When braking, make sure that your upper body is upright while using your core muscles (near the stomach) and keep those arms relaxed (not straight and locked!).

NUMBER 2! Don’t brake too hard (especially the front) or you’ll end up locking the front tyre and losing grip. Always brake using both front and rear brakes. VERY IMPORTANT.

NUMBER 3! Brake enough but not hard enough to lift the rear tyre up. If it goes up, you’re braking too hard BUT don’t worry! Just release the front brake ever so slightly and the rear tyre will gently fall back to the ground and giving you more control.

TIP 2 – ACCELERATING

According to these Pengejar Impian riders, hard acceleration can be exciting (if you’re a stunt rider) BUT if you do it too hard and too soon, you might end up slower and with less control. Trust us, you don’t want that, people.

NUMBER 1! If you’re spinning the rear tyre, you’re losing traction as well as time and power delivery. Not good!

NUMBER 2! No wheelies! Getting the front wheel up is not only dangerous if you’re not used to it but if you want to be like a pro, make sure both wheels are on the ground at all times. Even MotoGP riders try not to wheelie to make sure they can accelerate hard without losing power.

TIP 3 – CORNERING

The final and arguably most important tip is getting your cornering done right. In most cases, controlling your bike through corners always have the same elements and some of you might’ve already been doing them without noticing.

NUMBER 1! Get your braking done BEFORE entering the corner. Braking and leaning your bike at the same time is not a good idea until you can master the basics of braking first.

NUMBER 2! Twist that throttle open AFTER the corner. Once you see that you’re about to reach the end of the curve, you can start accelerating safely and efficiently. Do it smoothly!

NUMBER 3! Don’t brake or accelerate too hard. Control and smooth flow are keys in becoming a pro rider. So, don’t stomp on that brake like an elephant and don’t twist that throttle open with lightning speed. Slow and steady, guys and gals.

At the end of the day, even Zizan Razak managed to surprise the Cub Prix riders with how fast he’s able to learn and understand all the pro tips given to him. When you listen to tips from pro riders that are this good, anyone can become a pro rider. Even you!

Remember to always watch the video to get all the tips for FREE and become a better rider, not just on the streets, but also circuits, dirt tracks, and everywhere else. Anyone can be a Pengejar Impian but with these tips, you’ll get there safer and faster. Learn from the best and you’ll become the best!

Wahid's lust for motorcycles was spurred on by his late-Dad's love for his Lambretta on which he courted, married his mother, and took baby Wahid riding on it. He has since worked in the motorcycle and automotive industry for many years, before taking up riding courses and testing many, many motorcycles since becoming a motojournalist. Wahid likes to see things differently. What can you say about a guy who sees a road safety message in AC/DC's "Highway to Hell."
