Message: [QUOTE="dante, post: 953742, member: 52862"] well on the street it's all about ground clearance management... You hang off a little on the inside, throw a knee out... while keeping the lean angle as vertical as possiable incase you need to decrese your radias... But on the dirt that just does not work at all... Ground clearance is'nt as much a factor... Keeping the elbows up, and shifting your body weight on the outside of the turn, as if your trying to lean the bike over more than you have to... Also shift your body weight forward slightly... stay off the front brake, or use it sparingly... straighting that leg out too helps with balance... I'm not so sure why it works exactly... Maybe the leg out shifts some more weight over the front wheel a little, espessaly when the rear looses a little traction... It almost oppsite of what you do on the street, it's really wierd coming off the street, and learning to go fast at first... let us know about your progress... [/QUOTE]
