So a few weeks ago I was out riding in Jawbone Canyon near Mojave. This place is known for having lots of hill climbs and narly trail riding. So anyways, the first ride we went on we ended up on top of what seemed like a freakin mountain and the way down consisted of very steep rutty hills that usually had turns right after them. Normally I would just coast down in 1st but this was not possible because you would pick up too much speed and get ruined by the ruts.
So I was wondering if anyone had some advice on braking and handling techniques for hills like these. It seemed like whenever I used my rear brake I would lose control because my bike would get out of alignment and one of my wheels would get stuck in a rut so I resorted to using almost all front brake and using the engine to brake. This however proved to be very hard because my two-stroke likes to stall if its in low rpms. But if I pulled in my clutch to help it not stall then I would pick up too much speed. I eventually made it down but I fell a good amount of times and ended up having to walk the bike part of the way. Anyone have some advice for me??
