PRACTICE EXERCISES
– Start at one end of the straightaway and accelerate to 8 km/h
(5MPH). Partway down the straightaway, release the throttle com-
pletely and brake quickly.
– Keep head and eyes up, keep handlebar straight, and do not re-
lease the brake until fully stopped.
– Repeat, increasing your speed and braking harder. When you feel
that the rotation of the track will be stopped you need to release
the pressure on the break lever. To maintain control, you need to
keep the track in rotation.
