[QUOTE="The Ant, post: 751621, member: 27453"] Heather gave some of us a small clinic at Moonrocks this year and one of the very valuable instructions was how to panic brake without going over your bars. Practice somewhere flat and straight first. Standing up on the bike, start going forward in a straight line (esp. don't let your front tire turn), and simultaneously throw your butt as far back on the bike as your arms will let you - you're trying to jerk them out of their sockets almost - hit the front and rear brake hard. Make sure you stay wayyyyy back on the bike still standing on the pegs until you've stopped. Legs straight, arms straight, butt as far away from the handlebars as it'll go. Go slow at first and then pick up your speed as you feel comfortable. Actually, she had us just hitting the rear brake hard first so we'd get used to having the back tire skid around and not bother us... as long as your front tire is still going straight, you'll be fine. But again, keep your weight back or you might go over the bars. Anyone else who was there remember more to this??? Or just have more helpful hints? -SusanP. BBR230 CRF250X(almost) [/QUOTE]
