I am itching for some good canyon riding and since my bike is still down I am reading trying to get my fix.

I am not the best rider here I am sure of that, I have been ridding on and off for 20 years so I do have some good experience but I am always wanting to be a little better and love coming across these things that I find helpful.

When I go ride the track or the canyon I spend a lot of time thinking myself through the corners before I even get to them, over and over and over. There is a simple formula to follow to get through a corner and I have found that if you do it and everything is working just right there is no better feeling, well maybe, but that is for another thread.

Well I came across this in my searching and thought I would pass it a long, there are some nice pictures too.

That was a pretty articulate how-to, I also like the fact that the author made sure to emphasize safety over the "hey-look-at-me" factor. Thanks for sharing.

I'll have to try his tips and see if I can finally scuff up a puck or two.

 

Thanks for sharing that - like you I love to learn new tips and tricks to polish the skills I already have! I'll give it a good reading through later, actually have some work that I have to finish before the day is done [:@]

How much longer till your bike is up and going? You must miss her!

 

I have just been cheap and will hopefully breakdown and through some cash at her soon. I do miss her.

I went out terrorizing the neighborhoods, on the track bike yesterday untill I got stop by one of the neighbors who is a cop, on duty. What's the big deal; know one watches out for us anyway so who cares if there are no lights. Friendly warning and I went home the long way.

 

The long way? I thought there was only one way home when you're on the bike. Please don't say that there is another way........I just couldn't bear it if there was!

Glad to hear that you at least got out for a bit!! Now get off your wallet and get the R1 going!!!

 

Great write up that guy has some very good info. I cant wait till next year at the dragon. I gotta get my knee down next time!!!!

 

i had enough of my knee down to last me a life time[:@]

 

That was a good read. I am one of those that tend to hang off more. More tire patch left to power out of the exit.
