Switchback Turns – Drill Zone

The goal of this drill is to simplify other aspects of cornering to better center yourself over the bottom bracket where the crank arms attach.

Perhaps the single most important drill to improve your riding, the slalom drill will keep you challenged and entertained.

The goal of this drill is to allow riders to corner faster and change the exit lines coming out of tight turns by starting the turn earlier with the use of a Pre-Turn.

The goal of this exercise is to create rotation of the body in toward the hill to prepare yourself for off camber terrain sections and to dial in the movement you will want for off camber turns, in an easier setting.

Remember when setting this up that you are looking to create a turn that is too tight for the rear wheel to follow the path of the front wheel.
