Default Re: Advanced riding – braking

I'm reeeeeealy bad for braking into corners, I sort of trained myself out of comfort braking and accidentally into trail braking. I don't consider it smart on the road though, really, but it feels really unnatural for me not to do it now when I'm in a fast mood, and I end up entering corners really slowly.

BUT! If you never ever brake in a corner, if you ever find yourself in a position where you have to brake in a corner, it will be the first time you ever do it and so it's far more likely that you'll crash. So I reckon a policy of total avoidance could rob you of skills that could make the difference between crashing and not crashing.
