East Rutherford First Turn

[YZed250]

Check out the lean angle from the 450s railing through the first turn! That is some seriously good traction and skill for them to stack up so close to each other.

Also note how much front brake is being applied, even at that angle.

Dragging the front brake through a turn is an advanced technique. It helps the front wheel bite and also compresses the forks, increasing the steering head angle and helping the bike turn in. If you don't believe me, try it sometime. I can do it on an outside rut and it really helps, but on a flat turn like that, I'll leave it to the pros.
