[QUOTE="PedroMx, post: 86322, member: 21330"] Hi: I would like to add something. One of the main differences between dirt and road is that in the street there are no berms. When you turn weighing the bike from the outside,sitting on the edge of the seat, you are putting most of the traction (if you make a vector diagram you will see it) on the edge of the tire (the edge in contact with the ground) so you use this technique for flat turns. But when there is a berm where all the contact patch of the wheel is printing over the wall of the berm you can weigh the bike by sitting in the middle of the seat, putting all the traction on the center of the tire. Other technique for brake slides on tight corners is this, when you approach the turn with the bike still vertical lock the rear brake and then countersteer (still vertical) the rear wheel will slide to the direction of the countersteer. Try this at slow speed, at first feels akward but you will see that works. Hope I made myself clear. Good luck.:) [/QUOTE]
