Example, you enter the turn at your non-braking speed, but out of no where car, animal, or debris is in the road causes you to have to get that sucker stopped under control whole redirecting the bike. If you don't learn to do this under normal riding conditions you are most likely going to crash when you actually need to trail brake and redirect the bike at the same time. Trail braking is all about hard entry into a turn while under hard braking. You either can or cannot do this. So flame me if you want, but i will continue to trail brake into almost every turn. |

You miss the point i was trying to get across, some riders never learn to trail brake at all and when they need to lean and brake hard in the middle of a turn unexpectedly they do not have the skill or experience to do so and typically they crash. That is all i was trying to say. I was taught to also use the rear brake out of a turn to correct the bikes attitude if drifting to wide. Dragging a little rear brake while on the throttle will bring the bike down more into the turn of course so will pinning throttle, but that takes skill i still have not developed after 35 years of riding Just my $0.02 worth as we all ride different.

I trail brake at the track and sometimes in the canyon. But in the canyon I usually don't. It's too much work to accelerate the shit on the straights.
