Introducing brakes

[Jack Roderick]

Hi.

I've recently bought myself a yz2 dt and been putting the hours in at my local outdoor track in all weathers to get some of that hard to find talent. I'm finally reaching a point where the crashes are becoming much less frequent and I can rack up some relatively consistent lap times without silly accidents happening.

I've still got a LONG way to go before I'm either competitive or fast as I've only done one indoor race and due to work commitments havnt made any other meeting just yet. My question is this, what is the best way to introduce breaking into my driving?? So far I find myself just trying to be smooth and almost coasting into corners which I can imagine is a very slow technique compared to you fast drivers.

Is there a common adjustment the majority use whilst learning ie dual rate, exp, alb or is it a case of just getting a feel for it and spend a while locking the rear end up and looking like a fool as you turn back around for the corner ??

Thanks in advance for any tips.
