MrJacques Posted February 28, 2017 Share Suspension setup can influence your cornering as well: https://youtu.be/IqB98ACIs4M?t=299 If your rear tire feels like it skips too much around a corner you can slow down your rebound settings to help.

Mongooser Posted April 10, 2017 Share Turn your shoulders and hips into the corner, lean your bike more than your body.pottie helped me with that over the weekend,my splits got 3.5 seconds faster through one section,my head angle was way to slack before so he dropped it and it also made a huge improvement Edited April 10, 2017 by mongooser Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Peach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJacques Posted September 5, 2019 Share I have a question about foot position. I know most videos say that your outside foot should be down (cranks vertical), but there are cases where your cranks need to be horizontal. In such cases should your outside foot be in the front (leading) or at the back? I'm thinking front as this makes pointing your hips in the right direction easier, but at the back might be better for the weight distribution?

I practice right foot forward every now and then. That said, if my pedals need to be flat I am 99,9% of the time going to be only left foot forward. bullet77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to experiment a bit with cornering with pedals level (and diagonal) and see if it works better with the outside foot leading or trailing. It might come down to the kind of turn and terrain.

Will check tomorrow when I ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABrooks Posted September 5, 2019 Share As far as I am aware, on the flat stuff and lower speeds it's outside foot down, keeps weight over the bike and centre of gravity low. in berms with higher speeds, it's pedals level with your dominant foot forward as you are pushing into the berm and not straight down into the ground.
