Looks good, the only things I would say would be to drop your inside shoulder more and get off the bike more. If you keep your inside shoulder too high it forces you to twist your lower body when hanging off, which will result in bad form and it limits the effectiveness of hanging off.

A mental trick that really helped me a lot is to imagine yourself running around a cone, as you approach the cone and start to turn you naturally drop your inside shoulder. If you do that on the bike it will make a difference. Try it the next time you ride, even street, you'll feel a big difference. There's also the idiom "try to kiss your mirror" which works too.

Go on YouTube and search "MCN How to drag knee". I'd do it here but youtube is blocked.

Good Job! Keep it up!

In the Total Control book, Lee Parks says: "your outside arm is relaxed and not fighting for control with your inside arm, and you're looking through the turn to the exit point while keeping your head perpendicular to the road. Your inside foot is tucked up and out of the way. Your inside arm is doing all the steering. And your centerline is to the inside of the bike's centerline."

Looks like you nailed all of them.

seems like you could be tucked alot more on the long straight......

Thanks guys.
I know i need to tuck more on the straight, but I didn't have the balls to go all out, never even used 6th, so it really wasn't slowing me down.
I did get all the way behind the windscreen a few laps. It's cool like a complete void of wind.

I learned early to get my feet up and out of the way... i drug toe slider before knee slider

Word.

Your upper body looks stiff...

looking good, standard upper body on the centerline thing that everyone tends to have. That's the hardest to learn not to do.

Looking pretty good out there man.

Just be careful about getting a little crossed up, it promotes handlebar pressure midturn... just drop the shoulder and do the armpit on the gas tank thing.

And consciously think about keeping your hands loose on the bars after turn-in. That's still the thing that takes the largest amount of my "10 dollars of attention"

I'd say the pressure on the bars is my biggest problem. There were a couple times I noticed I actually pulled myself back up onto the bike using my arms... then after the bike quit shaking and settled down, I said self, that was fucking stupid... quit it.
