[QUOTE="ButtonFly, post: 77543, member: 16889"] Are you sure they are brake sliding the corners? I know on my WR it is easier to powerslide. I do most of my braking in a straight line, and then get on the gas to light the rear up, and power around it. As for the brakes. You know what a highside and a lowside are right? (bear in mind this is my personal observation, and not scientific knowledge) In order to slide the bike, there is a "balance point" between doing a highside and a lowside, when going sideways. If the bike is too straight up, you get pitched. If the bike is too leaned over, you skid out. Bear in mind this point changes with surface conditions. To brake slide effectively, you have to be at this point or a little below it (more leaned over). Lefties are easier than righties, since you can be on the rear with a foot off the peg. I would practice standing up, and keeping both feet on the pegs. Roll into the turns, sliding a bit if you like, and then lean it over and gas it out. You will notice that the same thing applies to getting on the gas. If you are above the "point" the bike will want to stand up. Below it, and spin out. Good luck [/QUOTE]
