[QUOTE="exskibum, post: 112229, member: 383"] Now, that's interesting! No doubt that I do something a little like that somewhat subconsciously -- it's like how I weight a carving ski, almost stomping my weight down into it at the point where I'm carving it hardest (deflecting the ski into an arc hardest) deep in a turn, then subtly letting off as my weight in the boot moves almost imperceptibly back to ride more of the tail on the turn's exit. (Driving my downhill knee or angulating my uphill hip in coordination with this weighting is the correllary to the countersteer on a bike.) I don't mean to digress from MCs, but that's why this explanation makes inate sense to me and I feel something similar on a bike in a hard turn. I almost stomp max weight onto that inside footpeg at the point where I'm deepest into the turn, continuing if the radius is decreasing . . . but, I definitely do feel like I'm getting off it after that. Good post -- gives me something to think about. More good stuff -- thanks. [/QUOTE]
