Hey Matt and @
Misti, would you mind explaining the change in position a little more in detail?
I ask you because it doesn't make sense to me (Physics-wise) and I would like to learn more about the position from which you are bringing your upper body forward and down.
In other words: You are cornering while normally hanging-off, with your upper-body in line with the bike and your inner leg out (your upper body is forward and down already, isn't it?).
Suddenly, you discover that it is a hook turn, and then..................?
No steering or counter-steering, the bike just follows the reduced radius?
