Message: [QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 567417, member: 16469"] While still learning the basics I would separate the two. Work on clutch control and power delivery on straights (uphill, preferably) and work on turning techniques while rolling through the turns smoothly in a gear that will get you all the way through the turn without having to shift or slip the clutch. I don't know about DHMB, but when I tried BMX it was *way* different than riding a dirtbike, so some of the skills and techniques might not transfer as well as you think. For example, I had many problems in BMX because I was too far forward on the bike. In MX, most people don't get far enough forward. BTW, what kind of bike? That might have a bearing on some answers you'll get. [/QUOTE]
