Hi CAN SOME ONE HELP ME WITH MY QUESTION ABOUT MOTOCROSS!!!?

Question

HOW DO THE RIDERS TAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN/CORNER IF THERE IS NO BACK BRAKE ON THAT SIDE OF THE BIKE AND THEY HAVE TO PUT THEIR RIGHT FOOT OUT, THEY SOMETIMES EVEN SLIDE AROUND RIGHT CORNERS.

HOW DO THEY DO IT????????????

Answer 1

Shift down through the turn, lean and do not over compensate with the front brakes.

Answer 2

Hey Jiggy

I have heard the rear wheel described as a big fan to keep your bum cool whilst riding - and the rear brake pedal is the switch you throw when your ar$e starts to sweat !!

Answer 3

this is easy, because I do this all the time. I do most of my braking before I put my leg out, but I am also a heavy front brake user. I also ride a 4 stroke, even though there isnt much engine braking there, its just enough for me.....

I can shoot into a corner late, which means I stand up, and brake until about 1/3 of the way into the turn, then I sit down and apply the throttle as hard as I can to accelerate out of the corner....

Answer 4

I KNOW THE ANSWER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, HOWEVER I REFUSE TO ANSWER YOU AS I CANT SEE MY MONITOR DUE TO BEEN BLINDED BY THE CAPS LOCK KEY BEEN STUCK DOWN.

Answer 5

Some pull in the clutch will going around the turn and then let go and give it gas causing it to whip around the turn

Answer 6

Exactly, you do your braking before you enter the turn. You should never apply rear brakes after entering a turn. When you enter a corner, you want to be looking as far ahead as you can. Pick your line before you enter, and begin to look through the corner. Get your braking done as soon as you can, then stay off the brakes and get the bike pointed in the direction you need to go. Your braking needs to be done before you lean the bike over. Get your body up on the front of the seat, but [at the same time] lean your upper body back. Moving your upper body back evens out the weight and reduces the chances of the front end pushing. Try to stay light on the handlebar, and try not to be tense. If you're tense and the front end pushes out on you, you're more likely to crash. If you're light on the bars, the front end can move around without your fighting the bike—you can let the bike drift a bit. And the more speed you carry, the more the bike is going to want to push and drift. When you reach midcorner, it's super-important to get back on the throttle. You can always use the brakes to get yourself turned, but it's not nearly as fast as a steady throttle getting power to the ground and driving you forward. Once you are on the gas, don't be afraid to feather the clutch, and use the clutch to help with traction control. Don't just drop the clutch and grab a handful of throttle. Throttle and clutch control are key to staying smooth and consistent throughout a corner. When you are exiting a corner, keep looking ahead or at your next obstacle, and get the bike picked up. Try to keep your lean angle to a minimum. As you exit, apply more throttle and keep your momentum driving forward. Slowly shift your butt back on the seat to help get traction to the rear wheel. Make sure all your body movements are done smoothly so you don't upset the bike.
