Message: [QUOTE="neWRiver, post: 216746, member: 25392"] The difficulty in keeping momentum through a flat or off camber turn on a knobby tire (and especially where you have loose sand/soil over hardpack) is not so much turning the bike, but holding a line through the turn (i.e., traction against the lateral g-force). Getting your body up on the high side and bearing down on it is how you get your bike to "carve" the turn. Also, when the bike starts to g-out on you, you can still control it. If you are hanging the turn with your upper body, your are relying solely on the hookup between the tire and the the terrain and any slight slip of traction will result very quickly in a low side sled ride.
