Just got back from a ride and noticed that I was battling to rail burms and corners with all the tiny pinecones lying on the trail which act like ball bearings to the extent my front washed out a few times.

Any advice??

Ride it like you are riding on a trail littered with ball bearings.

Close your eyes and hope for the best... Actually, thats pretty bad advice: Close your eyes and EXPECT the worst!

Stop and sweep up the corners first.

that sounds like awesome fun!

round up some mates, and a slo-mo video camera, and make a pine-cone-corner-drifting-movie. post a link on here and soak up the praise...
