Tips for Advanced Dirt or Bike Riders

"My friends call me CK and I’m speaking on behalf of Expert Village. I am a stunt man currently working out in the Hollywood area and I’m going to give you some tips today on motorcycles and motorcycle riding. Alright here’s a few tips for a little advanced riding when you start getting up to speed and you’re coming through a corner. What you want to do is you want to brake before the turn, you want to get on your front brake and rear brake at the same time. Your front brake is going to provide 70 percent of your stopping power. What you want to feel your brakes evenly and the more you ride, the more you’ll be able to feel how that bike reacts when you get on the brakes. In a turn, you want to get on the brakes before the turn, pick a line from the entrance to the turn to the exit where you can make a good arcing turn, you don’t have to go too tight you can fit through the lane and once you get in halfway to the apex of the turn, you want to roll on the throttle and slowly power out of that turn and on to the throttle. That will help right you back up and keep the tire tracking around that turn. Another good aspect is to stay one with the bike, just feel it, don’t try to fight it, just use your body and look with your head, you want to look ahead at all times, a lot of riders have a tendency to get too close in front of them, you need to look ahead and see what’s coming and look where you want to go. If you see an obstacle in the road, don’t look at that obstacle because more than likely you’re going to hit it look where you want to go. If you can look where you want to go, maintain that, your body will follow."
