Reading earlier bits of this thread got me thinking back to how I used to ride through those tall, earthen berms back in my BMX days... I seem to recall exiting most of those turns under power, usually turning while the front wheel's off the ground (I did say "under power" -- yanking hard on the bars w/ each pedal stroke) by leaning way over to the inside to get the bike to "fall" back down out of the curve and onto the next straightaway.

Making the final exit of those turns seemed to have very little to do with rotating the front wheel, as best as I can remember.

Not sure if I'm describing it clearly, but I can sure feel it. Pedal pedal pedal go go go! Grrrrrrrrrr!
