I wonder if they'll do that at the next MotoCop competition...

Maybe I'll have my freshly minted MSF students try this. ;-) would make
a neat in-class video short though...

The one that looks like the Yin-Yang symbol reminds me of the "Flaming spiral of death" optional exercise from the old MRC-RSS.

(OK, not what its real name, just what everyone called it.)

Really? I do not see it; it’s just “marching band” stuff. Most of the time they are riding in a straight line, albeit slowly, the only above average skill is the ability to make a slow tight turn and any cop or MSF instructor can do that (I would hope*.) The _choreography_ was spectacular but any of us can/should be able to do what they were doing in a matter of days.


(*MSF instructors were not universally able to do a slow tight turn until it became a requirement for the new BRC. Watching old instructors learning to do it during re-training was quite amusing.)
