Well **** lets talk about downhill turns because I'm as confused as balls on what to do with these. Usually with downhill turns I'm engine braking in a low gear and use the front brake to regulate my speed. Accelerating through a downhill turn just seems silly no? So usually I just try to go slower and maintain a constant speed through the turn.

I'd imagine you can't lean as far because all the weight is on the front tire and that would cause something to slip out (front tire, rear tire? IDK)

So what I did when I realized the road was turning faster than I was is I maintained my constant speed and leaned in more and more till I made it through the turn. Scared the **** out of me I don't like downhill turns at all, they just make me uncomfortable so I was going a slower rate than I do through a normal turn which I guess is what saved my butt.
