Grass Track Techniques.
We are expecting a record heat wave here in the Northwest - fire restrictions went up in all state forests today. So, heading up to the "coast range" here is out for me unless I want to ride around on the logging roads.
A friend has about 6 acres of grass - I have been teaching his 10 year old son to ride in this space along with another 12 year old boy. It is rolling terrain and relatively flat. I promised them I would bring out some stakes and some ribbon and set up a grass track for them and now that the woods are shut down I am thinking I will get some practice out there myself.
Anyone here consider them a "grass track expert". Any advice to go fast - yeah, I know to go smooth, but what line is preferred if a line hasn't really developed yet. Motocross in the mid 70s - I tended to stick to the inside - brake very late and hard, enter the turn wide and square up just around the apex of the corner and then go full throttle as soon as possible. What works for you?
thanks,
jeff
