Still struggling with those switchbacks? Let's break the technique down, and build it back up to get your switchbacks super solid.

Key tips:
1. Look around the corner, to your exit
2. Take a wide line into the corner, as wide as you possibly can
3. Drop your outside pedal
4. Lean your bike into the turn so that you can turn tightly
5. Brake smoothly, no grabbing.
6. Ease the brakes off as soon as your front wheel is exiting the turn. You can let your front brake off early to make sure the front end maintains momentum and you don't stall on exit.
