look where you want to go, don't focus just past your front fender. It can be a difficult thing to practice at first and to get use to, in fact you'll probably go down a few times especially in the ruts. Keep on the gas too. It takes practice but it'll make all corners easier and faster
I can attest to that from my experience at DW. Coming out of the wooded section on the big track during the B race I found myself in the roost of 3 bikes in front of me. By the time I could see I found myself looking into the face of a tree. By the time I corrected my coarse to stay on the track I found I wasn't lined up for the big rut that was there. I attempted to cross-rut it but at the last second wasn't sure if I should've. Results; went down because I tried to change my mind. I had plenty of momentum to go over the ruts but I had to slow to line up with them and as I did I stumbled and the riders behind me didn't. Had to buy a new back fender after that. :confused:Originally posted by wardy
don't be afraid to just change you line through the corner and go right over the top of them all. Do this with diligence and determination, trying to do this move with any second guessing and you will find the ground.

TRY forgetting the rut is there at all, don't go in it, square up and just ride across it.
And I think I've got a picture of you doing just that at Burleson in that little section that everyone about has to stop to make the turn.Originally posted by mx547
i often do that. i hate ruts. i'm the oddball that turns with a different radius than everyone else. the ruts rarely suit the way i like to turn. i've found that it's easier for me to just ride over them.
That applies to most every obstacle on an MX track! Good thread with good info! :thumb:Originally posted by Jeff Gilbert
