Those trails are very nice. Now, how would you handle them if they were tighter (I'm sure you have tight stuff), wet, muddy, leaves, and the real wrench in the works, studded with softball to basketball sized rocks? No clear line through the turn and maybe no smooth trail for a mile. Too rough and slick to just blast out WFO. You can't lean into it very far, as the first hit will break front traction and take you out, and there is no good place to fall. This is where you are somewhat forced to stay more vertical and kick the tail out to line things up, retain traction with the throttle/clutch and move out smooth. The NETRA guys know what I'm talking about. To be fast I think you just have to try and master a few styles and adapt to the terrain without thinking about it.
