Lets take a look at the example to the right, in this instance (CLICK ON THE ARROWS TO VIEW IMAGES) I started preparing by exiting the previous corner slightly on the inside which avoids following the main line. This will put you on the outside goiong into the next corner so you can brake slightly later without having to lock up the brakes to get around the corner. It will also allow you to carry more corner speed.

The general idea behind this line would be to jump the table top slightly off center on the left side, enter the corner slightly wide, sweeping through and then hugging the inside and accelerating to the outside again. This should give you an “outside-inside-outside” line while maintaining a good speed and being smooth and consistent.

While in the air you want to prepare you self for the braking by putting your finger/s onto the brake lever and getting ready to begin slowing down as soon as you land. click the third arrow to the right and you can see I am landing on the top of the down slope which soaks up quite a bit of speed and helps with the breaking.

Shortly after landing is where majority of the braking technique is coming into play, you are going to want to move your weight slightly towards the rear of the bike, maintain a good balance and utilize as much of your front braking power as possible. In this case you are going to most likely need both front and rear brakes to get you stopped in time, so once again the weight distribution between the front and rear is very important.

Because so much braking is needed in this case you can see that I am already quite far into the actual turn (ARROW 5) and still haven’t put my foot out mainly because I am still using the rear brake to control the bike going into the turn. Normally you want majority of the braking already done before entering the turn, but in this case there is just not enough time. This makes it even more crucial that your braking skills are perfect because it is very easy to blow through the turn.
