Cornering: Rotation - 1hr Mini-Clinic 

This FREE clinic is provided to you by The Hub Bike Shop for their Santa Cruz Demo day at Ride Kanuga Bike Park

This mini-clinic is a deep dive into using rotation for cornering. We can use rotation to help initiate turns and drive the bike through the turn. Let's work on having US be in control of driving the bike through the turn rather than just riding square to the bike and following it around turns. Rotation can also be an effective force to apply on off-camber traverses to maintain a line. Getting better at rotation is often a "low hanging fruit" of skills to be a better rider. Even advanced level riders often remark that this is one of the most valuable outcomes of private lessons when we cover it. 

Topics Included:

• Quick review of how to remain centered on the bike for cornering to maintain equal pressure and traction on the front and rear wheels. 

• How to apply rotation for small changes in direction, big changes in direction, concentrating on how we can use different body parts to create rotational force. 

• After we cover HOW to rotate in different ways, we can work on WHEN to rotate and HOW MUCH do we need to rotate (and how forcefully) for different situations
