counter-steering means lots of things and we have had rediculous debates on here as to what the proper meaning is and whether or not countersteering should just be called steering and blah, blah, blah but before that starts, one trick (which may or may not be considered countersteering) is to not keep your body mass centered over the bike in a turn, but instead use it as a tool to allow you to change the angle your bike leans at.

i.e.: if you need to make a sharp right turn, place most of your body mass on the right side of the bike and turn the handlebars while keeping the bike relatively upright rather than leaning the entire system.
