How to break down motocross corners and conquer them with ease: 90 degree corner and double apex 

@@yukonjon5964 If there is no hook or obvious apex, it's going to be where the corner changes direction. You may not be carrying enough roll speed to get you far enough through the corner. You may be braking too hard and killing momentum to get you there. There are also corners that your roll speed may turn into very light throttle input, because the corner is just too long or big. I am working on a video of a multi terrain, long left handed corner. It goes from a hard pack 90 degree corner to a deep 180 rut and a 90ish degree hard pack exit, almost making a 360. I'll have that out in a day or so

@@johnbarnhart7174 yes, the point of most lean, after that point, you start to decrease your lean and exit the corner. In motocross it's typically the point you make the most aggressive direction change and because it's motocross and on dirt, usually the most aggressive hook in the corner.

@@180mxtraining7 Thank you for clarifying !!!

@@99Yeti I find with flat corners, once you lean beyond that 20 percent, just let go of both brakes, trailing with the front may work, but chances are it tucks on you. The bikes is most effective at turning when you're in that roll zone and off the brakes. It's a very similar concept to moto gp (street bike racing) and in a flat corner that is where moto gp is most closely going to relate. Brake, off brakes, turn in and roll, accelerate out.

@@JimG1964 you are probably over braking and going to slow in the roll zone. Try to brake less and think about keeping the wheels rolling. I had a hard time when trying to learn this and I was way over braking, so I had to gas it in the roll zone and my corners were horrible. A good drill is put a cone at the apex, and try to just roll to it, without worrying about the exit. Also, make it a point to get your foot off the rear brake before you turn in and start your roll zone. That foot on the rear brake is what causes 99.9 percent of stalls in the corner

@@180mxtraining7 Thanks! I really like that idea. I will try putting cones out in some actual corners that I practice on and just work on rolling to the cones and not about the exits right away. That way I can develop the pattern of how to roll in. I also never thought about how poor my throttle control is too. It makes sense because those little throttle corrections are messing up my cornering ruts.

@@rickvandyk31 yep, let it roll and turn.

You can rear end steer if the corner allows, but that is really hard to do consistently. A line will start to form up. Hard pack corners, same concept still applys
