[QUOTE="Rock Monster, post: 54629, member: 5"] It takes time, confidence and as Dan said patience. The best thing you can teach him is to be [B]standing[/B] when ever going down hill with his but hovered about an inch or so above the rear fender and back of seat, elbows out, head up and looking forward, and most of all cover the front brake as well as your rear brake. I used to have major fear of downhill especially considering my bike is 300+ lbs. so the momentum really grabs ya. With the weight toward the back of the bike the front tire will not be digging into the earth so much and has a greater chance to get over small obstacles and turn without washout. You would actually be surprised of how steep an incline you can come to a full stop on if you tried it. [/QUOTE]
