[QUOTE="SADude, post: 1030061, member: 54793"] Hi I do off road riding here in South Africa and have recently started racing. I did a race this weekend, it had rain a couple days before the race so things were quite slippery out there. A large part of the race between obsticals like river crossings, hills, etc. was ridden in cattle tracks which followed the contours of the farm land, the cattle tracks were quite deep in places and made things difficult, because it was like riding in a hard compact, slippery rut, which caused me to fall on a number of occations. I tried riding out of the rut, but the long grass on the sides of the rut hid rocks which posed an even greater problem, so it was back to the silppery rut. I ended up reducing my speed quite a bit because i got sick and tied of falling. I spoke to some quicker guys about riding in the ruts and they said I should sit back on the bikes and almost let the rut stear you in the direction instead on trying to turn you handle bars and stear though the sweaping corners. Please help, sick and tied of falling in ruts!!!! [/QUOTE]
