    What sort of G-forces does a rider experience on a track?

    1G.

    You may notice it pulling you into the seat.

    Sometimes acceleration (and decelerating) have their forces presented as a G-rating. Go into the thread disproving Skidmarks claim of stopping from 60kmh in 2m, there are a lot of calculations in their which give you a pretty good idea of the forces acting on a rider on the race track.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    And i thought it was my pucker sucker after i fucked up a corner !!!
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    forwards, backwards, left, and right sided ones, also downwards. Though there are those upwards ones too if you cock it up.

    Ah, but which track?
    If it's banked the G forces can get a LOT higher.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    or jumps, flatlanding a jump generates quite a bit of g-force too

    Ah yes
    I seem to recall that my spine reminded me of this the last time that I did it with my arse still on the seat

    Small numbers i would actually imagine. Probably the most is under brakes/under power. Rather than the G-forces of going around the corner?
