Yep chevrons messing with your head for sure, be like trying to ride through this

The corner before it is tighter, but the chevrons are straighter and you can see through the corner so its not a problem. That corner makes my eyes go

Anyway you're asking us for riding advice? If you're struggling, we're all f***ed!

You going to have to block out all the distractions
Look were your going to have the best line.
If you can stop and "Walk the corner ".
Its you road ,so dont take any Su'ds

I'm pretty sure the chevrons aren't there anymore. All I remember is fence and looking at the buildings in the field behind it as I almost locked the front up...

Then decided that it might be better to look down the road and turn in.

Thing is I've f*cked that corner up going the other way a couple of times too.
Just dunnoe whats going on with such a simple corner...

you know what I think I'm gonna have to take the trip down there just to check the place out.

Hmmm... Do you have any mates that take the corner with ease? Maybe you could:

a) Follow them and try to cut the same lines as them

b) Pop on the back of their bike, and 'feel' it (the ride, I mean!)

Either or both of those should help?

This weekend after I dropped everyone off at the end of Aprils Abuse I had a moment of target fixation on it. I knew I was doing it and stopped myself before I went round it. But I EFF this corner up every time I ride it and it doesn't matter which direction. Its not even a difficult corner but.........

Short of doing an 80 mile round trip to spend the day going round one poxy corner how can I get rid this affliction.

Tips and abuse are welcome, cause i can see more abuse than tips coming...

thanks

have you tried 'trail breaking' it? it looks like one of those corners where you have to tip in at the very last minuet then sit up straight away.

as said, if your stuffing it up then were all dooomed.

+1. Having vainly tried to keep Dean in sight before I've realised I have a mental block for almost all the corners and most of the straights.

I'd probably have to get off and push it round.

Ahhhh... in this case then, could 'mental block' be translated as 'respect for his life' ???!
