Hey MR. PQ you sure started something with all these replys.   I think you hit on a hot topic.

That 300 likes to push the front even with a new tire let alone a well used one.  To make it change directions fast you'll need to steer from the rear.  Move your weight up front and get the rear loose with a tap on the brake and let it pivot around.  Practice in an open field with some targets to pivot around far away from those magnetic trees.  After you get comfortable brake sliding it then start to get back on the gas just as you get pointed in your (not the bikes) direction of choice.  After a while you can transition between brake sliding and roosting out of a turn with reasonable accuracy.  Then you can roost slammer when he lets you hang in the trees without offering to help you out.

Short shifting that bike also helps keep it from going bezerk in the power band when your in the woods.  Then when you get in a nice open area you can open it up and leave those pesky foo-foo bike noises behind.  At least until the next tight section comes around the corner.

I agree the open bikes can be a bear in the woods but they sure are fun especially if the track has some long up hills.  Just gas it and go.  Even better when there is lots of power robing mud to slow those  little foo foo bikes down.:p :p
