Message: [QUOTE="dante, post: 810457, member: 52862"] On a road bike you tend to lean into the turn with forearms parallel with the ground, managing your ground clarence by hanging off more instead of increasing the lean angle... On your dirt bike it's completely the the other way around... You have way more ground clearance to work with... You lean the bike down, elbows up leaning on the opposite side of the bikes seat than you would on the street... Straighten out your leg to help with balance and getting more weight on the front tire to keep it from washing out... Also your body weight is way farther forward towards the front wheel than on the street... On the street your keeping most of your body weight on the rear tire staying loose on the bars... Whereas on the dirt your keeping your weight as far on the back wheel as you can... After hitting the apex for your exit you'll want to spill weight back on the rear tire to get the traction you'll need for your exit... [/QUOTE]
