FLAT CORNERS – EXIT SPEED

-

By staying low to allow for movement, and focusing on lining your body up with the exit of the corner, you’ll be able to gauge your grip through the turn.

The trick here is to come in slower and gradually push with your legs as the traction allows. Come in too fast and you’ll have to back off from that push in order to control the grip. This will mean you feel like you’ve stalled and won’t carry as much speed as you could have. Come in a little slower and gradually build that push with your legs, and by the end of the turn you’ll have generated a good deal of speed and effectivel­y ‘pumped’ your way out of the corner.
