HOW TO FLAT TRACK TURN & POWER SLIDE Cross Training KTM Duke 390
Thanks to AMZS Vransko for a perfect conditions to test the KTM Duke 390 in Supermotor mode! Watch the RokON vlog #37 to see how the corner rocket is performing - togetter with Marko Ukota we pushed it to the RokON limit!
I performed in Asia, South America, Europe and Middle East on the mayor events like MotoGP, Red Bull Air Race, DTM, Salon de Automovil Chile, Internatonal moto expo, EICMA, etc. On the other side I have been a stunt double for different artist like Robbie Williams and Neisha. My motosport idols are: Ken Block, Travis Pastrana, Chris Pfeiffer.
One of 50+ free enduro training vids! Flat track turns and power slides can be a fast way to corner on smooth terrain. Let us show you how to ride dirt bikes using enduro techniques and dirt bike techniques.
The trials emphasis of cross training avoids losing traction, but sliding your rear wheel is a handy technique on relatively smooth corners. It is also a good idea to get used to the rear sliding out so you can control this in a relaxed way if it happens unexpectedly in slippery conditions. Speed, roosting, jumps and power slides are fun on a dirt bike but often it means we've picked up nasty habits that are slow us down. As Graham Jarvis says "Going fast is the easy bit, it’s going slowly that will help you develop control." The best extreme enduro riders like Jarvis are so smooth you don't realise how difficult the terrain is until you see them flying past the less experienced riders. So cross training applies trials techniques to enduro riding for improved dirt bike skills, although not in this case with flat track turns.
BODY POSITION FOR FLAT TRACK TURNS
Sitting too far back will upset the balance of the bike for flat track turns. If the terrain is very smooth with no obstacles you can slide your boot along the ground for extra stability.
