Message: [QUOTE="altagirl, post: 567424, member: 40384"] It's a DRZ250. The cornering techniques that are pretty much the same are putting your weight on the outside peg (pedal) and inside bar, getting your weight forward, and looking through the corner. I've never ridden BMX, but in DH one of the things that helped my riding the most last year was getting forward esp. on loose corners. The actual body position might be a bit different, but to me it's more of a feel for getting forward to the point where you're keeping the front tire weighted. So far cornering on the DRZ, I've been feeling pretty stable (once I got past the initial fear of the bike flopping over when I lean it), provided I'm not doing anything incredibly dumb with the the throttle/clutch/gearing. ;) Some of it is experimentation to see what works best and some is just "What the heck am I doing???"
