I've heard a lot of people struggling with a few of these corners. A few tips that help you keep traction BIG TIME with flat fast corners... Bike Tuning: Sticky up your tires Reflex: Use your right stick to weight the outside peg (lean away from the corner while steering) Throttle control: Don't be afraid to go half throttle and gently roll it back on. Ruts: They can be your best friend and help you stay hooked up or your worst enemy if you get the backwheel in and the front wheel out, you'll slide.

Jeeze Checkerz. Post in the correct section! ;) - moved to riding tips section I'll also add that if you are sliding alot, try pulling back very slightly for more traction. Its a catch 22 though, because the more you pullback, the less you can turn. I generally come out of flat corners with the stick in the zone between pull back and leaning over.
