Counterleaning in slow speed maneuvers

[Ocean1]

My reading suggests that is the correct technique for very tight turns. Years ago one of the Brit magazines had a competition as to which of their roadtest riders could do the smallest circle, the winner was the former trials rider standing on the pegs.

I must have significant masochistic leanings, I've been involved in a lot of passtimes that require a fairly high degree of ballance skills, and my ballance is shit. Some of that's damage, but even before that I can't say I was ever a prodogy in surfing, skiing, trials etc.

But yes, tightest possible wheels down turn is on full lock with the bike all but grounding. Nobody does that, though, not since Sammy Millers' day have trials riders limited themselves to keeping the wheels on the ground.

And then, of course all modern bikes make use of the latest antigravity systems.

I hear you. Not for nothing was my kayak known as "the yellow submarine".
