Braking

Post by Nick#126 »

Guys I have a question,
If I watch the fast riders ride, and they brake on a sx track, they brake much harder or there speed slows much faster then when I brake.. So, how do you guys do that or what can I change in some settings or to brake faster ? I hope you know what I mean :lol:
Thanks !

try leaning back as you brake it tends to slow the bike faster, and I don't use 500 500, for me i doesn't slow down as fast. and the rest of it come from paractice

here is an example of me riding.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rAbCUyPVLo

Im betting you use auto shifting. If you use manual shifting you can slow down by shifting down.....

I use anti lock brakes on the front and normal on the back. That seems to work pretty good.
