 Haha ... that sharp turn is tricky.

I dive into the inside kinda sharp, gently lean the bike to the left (into the turn), shift part of my weight forward while at the same time tapping the front brake to unweight the rear and push the rear out so it slides around only it's not really skidding.

All of that is being done in one motion.

As the rear starts to come around I (at the same time) start to shift my weight back and release the front brake.

Again all this is being done in one motion and I'm trying to keep what little forward momentum I have.

The entry speed is important (at least for me). I can't get into it too hot or too slow.

It's basically the same technique you employ when on a single crown on a sharp switch back. The only difference here is that I'm doing it on a dual crown.


I've never done this corner on a single crown ... yet... Be interesting to see if it's easier or not.

 Thanks ... wanted to see how the forks and brakes felt after the work I did on it the night before. You can see where the excess Float oil from the foam rings. Looks like the fork seals blew! Brakes were working awesome too.. the bike is dialed for this weekend!

 Thanks ... I was trying out another camera angle. I think I need to tighten it up just a bit more but for the most part I got the angle I was hoping for
