I have recently been trying to get more into MX and can usually pick up time on jumps getting a good rythm but i can't seem to hit berms as well; I try to hit the back brake some times but i end up killing the engine if i don't do it right.
Some berms at this race track are nice and hard packed dirt while others r loose and sandy at the base...how would you hit these different berms and using what techniques? (when and what to do with breaking, throttling, and positioning on ur bike?)

I ride alot of trails with berms like you described. They are realk tight and steep (about an 80* angle, with a radius of about 7-8"). The hardpacked ones I try to stay in the middle and gas it, usually putting my inside leg out for ballance. For the sandy ones I try to do the same, except be a little looser to let the bike move where it wants (whithin reason). When I first started to ride on the berms it scared me alot, but I learned that if you go fast enough you won't fall over.
