Default Re: Just How Do You get your knee down

Actually this is kind of back on thread but because it comes down to being relaxed, mostly the bike by itself will auto-recover, what frequently happens is the rider *forces* it to crash, normally by gripping the bars too tightly and holding the slide (until it crashes).

Just see the number of clips where a rider has fallen off and the bike has straightened up and continued (until normally running into the tyre wall).

Relaxing will make more of a difference than anything else to your riding (far more than getting your knee down tbh).

Oh and as for the mountain, you have to get the line sorted before you crest, stick it far right[1] and aim for the club house.
