[QUOTE="adam728, post: 1186764, member: 55463"] There are 1,952,837 different turns out there and more than one "right" way to do each one. It's basically impossible to break it all down over the internet, you should seek advice from people you ride with. Goto a track and hang out with guys faster than you, most people are willing the help someone that is willing the learn. That being said - [list][*]Use the front brake! It's where almost all of your stopping power is! [*]Locking the back brake really depends on the corner/conditions. I find I lock/pivot on tight corners in sandy conditions. But you don't want to lock and slide like a goon on hardpacked in a wide sweeper. [*]Using the clutch and/or shifting again depends on the conditions/bike/etc. On my KDX I'll pull in the clutch while braking only if I am locking the rear. The YZ has an auto clutch, so it doesn't matter. [*]Many people say to do your braking before the corner, then accelerate through the turn. I'm still trying to apply this to my riding (I brake into the corner, then gas from the apex out, usually)[/list] Again, if you want an exact summary, it's corner specific, and you'll need someone there to help you. Maybe try an MX class, most tracks will have them a few times a year. [/QUOTE]
