Message: [QUOTE="76GMC1500, post: 1193065, member: 73139"] I like doing slow speed drills to work on balance, coordination, and clutch control. One of my favorites is to ride the bike in circles with the handle bars at full lock while standing. This seems to hit all of the major points. Practice locking up the back tire and sliding the bike around really tight turns, this helps keep your momentum going when you're negotiating trees. Popping the front wheel up predictably at low speed is a helpful skill. You don't need to ride wheelies, just pop it up a foot or so in the air. Normally, this is really easy, but when you have to do it at a specific time before you hit an obstacle, it gets really tricky. [/QUOTE]
