[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 148220, member: 17212"] [b]A straight-a-way on an angle.[/b] RaginRt. Most downhills are just a straight-a-way on an angle. It's the angle that freaks everybody out. If there is run-out room at the bottom of the hill, then, speed and momentum is your friend, just like Farmer John said. On hills that are particularly nasty and don't have any run-out room, your front brake is your best friend. Practice using the front brake. The front brake gives you about 90+ % of your stopping power. Try not to lock up the rear brake, but, only feather it to keep the bike stable. When using the front brake, use only one or two fingers on the lever. This gives you the rest of your fingers to hold on to the grip. If you start to go down, you can release the lever and still be hanging on to the grip. Just my $.02 [/QUOTE]
