    Elbows out knees bent
    Heels droped a bit weight slightly rear
    Drag the brakes a bit and roll through
    Stay nice and lose and low let the bike move under you
    Can’t go wrong

    Lots of people overreact to steepness and sit right on the back tyre

    +1, I don’t think folk realise that when they do this their arms are fully outstretched, making it impossible to steer!
    If you imagine a vertical line going up from your BB, as long as you’re behind this and you keep your feet heavy…it’s quite hard to go over the bars.[/quote]

    See that’s the problem. Sitting back. Weight on the front wheel = grip for steering!! So many folk sit back and have no front wheel control.

    Fwiw, it’s just weight forward and confidence, brake before corners. Let wheels roll round. (i’m also quite local to inners)
