Pre-braking

Pre-braking

When racing on sandy and soft tracks the braking area into corners will get really whooped out. Instead of trying to brake in the rough area, brake before the bumps and then accelerate over them into the corner.
You can brake more effectively in the smooth part of the entry into the corner and then when other riders are braking in the rough area you can make ground on them by accelerating over the braking bumps. Accelerating also unweights the front wheel making the bumps feel smoother.

Do you have any tips for pre-braking?
