[QUOTE="Hick, post: 118840, member: 19514"] That’s a good shot, but it is hard to tell from a picture what is going on, and I’m no expert anyway. But it is very difficult to have your weight TOO far forward in a turn. Scooting up on the tank more is almost always better. One thing that really helps weight transfer is raising your inside leg. Again, it is hard to tell from a picture, but you look to be pivoting off your inside foot. That isn’t necessarily bad, and may be required on an incline like that, but using your leg to help weight transfer in a corner really helps. In this case you could stick your left boot out (up high, you don’t want it to hit the ground) as you entered the corner, let your body scoot up the tank as you hit the brakes, rail it and, if you have to, drop your boot down to pivot off your foot. Try it, the amount of weight transfer you can get by swinging your inside boot up around the fender is surprising. And when you brake for the corner, scoot up the tank, it is really hard to be TOO far up there. I taught myself to ski in Santa Fe, and riding is the same. You have to keep your body pointed “down hill,” you can’t turn if you are on your heels. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
