[QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 1184261, member: 16469"] It sounds like you've got a good grasp on most of the basics. The one thing I would suggest you change is your inside foot placement. You don't want to use your foot as a pivot point. You don't want it to hit the ground at all. Put your foot forward for balance and to further weight the front end. If you're riding in woods and putting your foot forward makes it hit trees, leave it on the peg and ride feet up. It will be better in the turns once you build up some berms. I would have expected the ATV usage to have already done that, though. As you've already figured out, the common mistake that many beginners make is to try to use the inside rut made by four wheelers when going through turns in the woods. It is much better to ride the outside so that you can lean the bike. With absolutely no berms at all in the turns, ride a little closer to the center and you will end up pusing the dirt out to make an outside berm. [/QUOTE]
