Try to find some video of European pocketbike racers. On the tiny bikes, the motions are all exaggerated, and it's all easier to see how they move/where they position.

Rossi came out of pockets. A lot of cats did. I used to race that shit. The funny thing is that it's actually easier to ride the bigger stuff, because it reacts so much slower (shorter bike, shorter "lever", it goes over center faster). Shit on high HP pockets is lightning fast. Big bike seems like a fucking motorhome after some track time on the tiny shit.

Your weight has more direct effect on the small shit too, so it really teaches you where to put it.

They're great for teaching throttle control and weight positioning.
