How do you tackle braking bumps?
the hardest part of MX season is the braking bumps how do you tackle them? I have been trying pressing the lean back button every bump which works a bit but I was just wondering if there was another, better way?

You need to have a solid suspension setup
Railing ruts and nailing sluts.

just use the rear brake when braking in them.(make shure you have both front and rear brakes on separate controls). also soften up everything in your suspension. make everything for forks and shock 20 but leave rebound at 50. im no pro, but this worked for me

I stay in a higher gear, 3-5 when coming into a corner on 450 keeps the back end a lot more stable.
