most of you know what i'm talking about, but if you watch videos or see pics of people doing some hard corners, it looks like they're hanging off the bike and holding on with only one leg.

There's no MSF course here, just a written test, permit issued and then "good luck with not getting killed". so i've had basically no training except for jumping on and trying everything new as slowly and cautiously as I can.

I've done some pretty sharp corners but i don't think i hang off like that. I lean the bike, but try to keep my body centered. dunno if that makes sense. I still feel myself lowering to the ground going around the turn, but i dont think my form looks like the pics i've seen.

any techniques other than, "look where you're going" that would help?
