im far from an expert so please get confrimation from others for what i say but... i have been learning MX for a couple months now and this is the MAIN things ive been learning.
1. shift your weight (hips) up to your tank. you want to be riding that tank like its a lover.
2. when you put your foot off put it forward towards your front wheel and not out to the side. Sometimes its hard to do so cause you naturally want it out so you can put it down but thats not proper.
3. be smooth on your throttle. Try to keep it a smooth throttle twist through the corner instead of getting on and off of it.
4. lean the bike to the right if its a right turn and left if its a left and i think you are suppsosed to straighten out that arm.
5. you want to try to keep your suspension even when you are braking for the corner. Apply both brakes so one or the other isnt fully loaded.
6. some corners you want to jam the back tire into the berm then gas it. This technique im not really good at but ive had people tell me thats what i need to do and have watched others do it nicely.
7. someone told me that when making a left hand corner keep on your back brake just a little even while you are gassing it as it helps keep more traction to the back wheel... another one i am not really good at but was told its a good technique.
if you go to the track start talking to some of then guys that look good out there. they will usually watch you a little and give you advice on what it is you are doing wrong.
or you could post videos every week of yourself at the track here on DBA... like i do.... and DBA'ers will give you solid advice on what to do.
like i said im not really that good and corners are prolly my weakest on the track but ive only been riding dirt bikes since april and the track since sometime around march... when i tell some of the guys at the track that fact their eyes get big and ive been told im doing really good for how long i been riding so something that the people at the track and here at DBA have told me must be working
