Message: [QUOTE="SteveinSpringHill, post: 1159915, member: 70737"] Here's another training lesson I've observed. In order to get the kids to take that inside deep rut instead of the easy way running the rim on the outside. The instructor has the kid charge the corner usually one that has a single jump just before the corner. Most of the time the rider will jump into the corner taking himself to the outside line. But to setup for the inside line the instructor has the riders cross over the jump on the inside "still charging" then at the peak of the jump pull the front brake and do a somewhat stoppie on the downside of the jump. He has them do this several times getting the feel of the hard front braking. Then has them follow through doing the stoppie into the beginning of the rut then coming off the front brake some and rolling on the throttle. Once coming off the peak of the jump they sit while doing the stoppie and squeeze with the knees then eventually the left or right leg comes out on entry while still squeezing or then "pushing" the bike over into the rut. Watch a Supercross race and see when a rider dives to the inside line, a lot of times the rear wheel comes off the ground. Additionally learn your 3 basic riding positions Attack, then Braking, then Turning. Setup some tires about 30 yards apart and then do 20 laps one direction and then 20 the opposite. Once you become a machine at this then go ahead and proceed to the track. If you don't follow the same procedure on the track (have someone watch you) or film it for later argument. Then you need to work this repetitive practice until you do because that is the foundation to sound riding. If your skidding that rear wheel 50' on the rear brake when you can cut that distance in half with both brakes. Guess what you can do with that 25' you just gained........be on the gas!! [/QUOTE]
