This week, head for a motorcycle school in the southern suburbs of Paris, with stunt world champion Sarah Lezito, who especially for Riding Zone, has agreed to relearn the basics of her sport. "Hi, today I'm not taking my bike, I'm coming back to my bike school in Monneraye. We will try to trick the monitor. I will pretend to be a true beginner, who doesn't know how to drive. I'm going to drop my bike. I'm going to try to piss off the teacher. And that's it, in the end I'll show him who I really am. " The plan not to arouse suspicions is to make a false report. "We are the fake technical team, we are going to make a false report on André, and on road safety. To be able to film him and have all his reactions regarding Sarah's behavior, and especially the surprise. " André, it is him, the monitor who arrives quietly on his bike. "We're tricking a former monitor, who's been around for a long time, who is very much on the road safety.
" "It's the girl who comes from Montlhéry that I add in your lesson, and who will come with us, like this it will make a group of six. " "Okay ? Take care anyway because, normally she can pass, but we never know…" "So we're going to trick him, with Sarah who will play the role of a student who knows everything, who is very confident, but in the end that is not that good. And we will see how he reacts. " "Sarah, may I call you Sarah ?" "Sure!" "Nice to meet, it will be more effective in an emergency." "Where are you in your training, Sarah?" "I'm at the end of it, I have the exam on Monday." "Ah, okay, you have the exam on Monday." "Yes, I do." "Okay so here you are to confirm, … refine your skills and attitudes. " "Here, despite the approach of the first." "So, listen, if you're OK, we're going to get the bikes up to speed.
And we'll go warm up nicely, carefully. Let's go, in saddle, on horseback! " At this point, André obviously doesn't suspect anything. And we can count on Sarah, Montlhery' girl, to behave like a real beginner. "Let's go !" "Go quietly, give yourself time to take your marks, the arms relaxed, the look, the head, … "Get your feet back Sarah." "Sarah leans a little forward when you come into the bend." "In turns, you have to think more about moving back a bit on your saddle.
When you are a beginner, often the tendency is to be too close to the tank. " "Tilt a little forward! Release your arms! " "I always learned like that." "No, but often the beginner thinks so much about his turn, that he neglects the quality of his braking." "And a little look below the shoulder too." "Sorry." "Look, I'll show you. It's more, accelerate, there I am jumping and when you feel that it leaves, you retain. "She is too much in tension on the handlebars there. Too much like that, not relaxed enough. " "After, sure you learned uh …" "Yes, I learned that way my cousin taught me like this. He said to me, you do exactly that.
He showed me everything and … That's it." "And there, you have to relax a little more … Here, join your comrades, please." "Okay." Sarah takes so much pleasure to regress, she will even afford a small misbehavior. "I will surely fall the next time I stop." "But that's okay, Sarah, you paid, actually, the look." "I was trying to avoid the front brake as well as you told me and …" "But that's a good thing huh." "So there, simulation, Sarah, exam type." "So the radar, ruthless judge, says you were between 35 and 40 km / h. So it was a first try. " "On the emergency braking exercise, I made a first one and he clearly told me that I was not moving, that I was dragging myself. And so it was good because the second pass, I realise a big burn before drawing on him. "Oula." And as soon as the hook takes, there is nothing left to do.
"What is she doing ?" "It was a prank actually, from the beginning." "André, will she be ready for Monday or not?" What we wanted to see was André's head when she started to accelerate, to make burns, rear wheels etc, to control… show that she mastered. " "To stunt, acrobatics and things must have a minimum of grip. We tested this morning with Sarah, there was no grip. So she couldn't do what she is able to do usually. It was complicated. " "We tricked Andre well anyway" "Yep it was good." "She has really progressed in a morning." "I say to myself, but she's a little presumptuous. I talked about it I said but … we tell her things but she thinks she knows everything. So it started to … " Personally I found it very amusing. So congratulations you were very good, very strong! Very good job Sarah! Bavo! "
