Tips on cornering in motocross?

Question

i need some tips on cornering in motocrross

Answer 1

I like to go low to pass,

But if im not passing, i like to go high into the berm, and just pin it. It seems like the faster i go into and out of it the more stable i am.

But that just might be me.  lol

Answer 2

Don't think about it just ride it and it will be a lot easier. Here's a little tip position yourself as foward as possible and stick your leg out pointing foward not down and as soon as you start to go the other way on the turn hit the throttle so your back end will slide around the berm then power out. you'll probably need to be in second or third gear

Answer 3

All corners are different, they all need to be attacked differently, but the most helpful thing is look where you want to go if your in a rut or berm look at where you want to end up and you will get there. Many riders look at the problem and you will end up at the problem, if you want to go way inside then look way inside if you going for a inside line and your looking at the center of the corner your going to end up in the center of the corner. Keep your elbows up, get up on the tank, put weight on the outside foot-peg, and get your inside leg out in front.Try and  power through if possible.  Look at the Racer X covers from July and Aug you can see them on racerx.com  I hope this helps!
