[QUOTE="2strokesteve89, post: 200680, member: 1670"] Yeah, at first maybe stay away from the front brake, when you start learning a little more brake control you can use it some, you can feel when the front brake is starting to cause the front end to stall so just kinda feather the brake accordingly. Also lowering the pressure in your tires helps, I usually run them around 11 front and 13 rear when I'm in normal riding conditions, in the muddy stuff I'll drop them to around 7 or 8 front and 9 or 10 rear, if you'll be going through varying terrains carry a pump with you so you can air back up when you get in the hard pack stuff, to prevent pinched tubes/flats. Also as far as body position I do keep my weight back but kinda on the back of the pegs and either with my butt on the seat or just off the seat depending on if I'm getting bounced around or not or if I need more traction on the rear tire or not. It's definatley a thing you feel more comfortable over time. [/QUOTE]
