Got a race sunday and help them break in the track last sunday. Did allright on everything but this one long section thats 6-18 inches wide and just cut into the side of a hill. Major off camber riding. As the day goes on it gets harder to ride too from people slipping off the edge. Anyone know a good way to ride something like this?

what kind of surface is it? is it moss? really soft dir? roots?

off camber: go in with good speed (so you don't have to pedal), stay high, keep your outside foot weighed and no hard braking. Remember to look ahead..

come in high and don't use your brakes if possible

Coming into the section is a very steep very loose strait shot with a small drop. I cant hit the drop and make the corner though. The ground after what i like to call the "and downnnn...." is hardpacked dirt and rocks.

Just set a rock in front of the whole section and jump over everything. This technique helps everything except for rim longevity.

Take a picture next time your there and set up a poll on how one should deal with it.

try not to go against the hill too. if u have the bike lined up with the slope of the hill u should not slide and u will be fine
