I watched an Aaron Gwynn video on YouTube the other day, it was a tutorial about cornering- or, rather, the importance of looking through the corner in order to take the correct line.
Now, I’ve watched a lot of these but one thing Mr Gwynn said that I’d not heard before was why you - basically if you look at a spot in the corner you’ll stand the bike up as you reach it. Keep your eyes on the exit and the bike stays leaned over and you rail round the turn.
Made me go out and practice really focussing on the corner exit and it has made a big difference.
I find it really helps when someone includes the “why” with the “what”, and this was a great example of that.
