Heres a picture of me trying to learn a hairpin berm turn. I approach in a pinned 2nd gear.. then a bit before the elevation starts I begin applying rear brake.. half way up the elevation I pull on the clutch, lock the rear brake, and shift my weight forward while extending the old leg of mine and turn the bars a bit.. the momentum of the rear means I dont have to spin the rear tire for the back end to come around, and when it does I feather out the clutch and pin it!
Are there better/faster ways to take a berm like this? I've heard about pivoting around the front tire by using the front brake but I'm not sure I buy that technique.
