When you say using body weight, is that putting your body on the outside of the turn with the bike underneath? That is the way I have doing things since I was 3. Most of my riding doesn't include high speed turns, but when I do have some I'm too concentrated on riding to notice if I counter steer or just lean and keep the bars straight.
