Liam:
Not really arguing, but I have found often that the corner is sharper than the speed I am riding, and artificially leaning the bike while I stay more upright for balance allows the bike to match the angle of the corner. Your example sounds like a way to corner even faster if you trust your bike? I don't think I am there yet.
So what you are generating is a bit of throttle oversteer which gets the rear wheels pushing in the new direction? Is this  similar to Bushwacka sliding his rear wheel to redirect the bike?


Also, John comes from a road bike racing background. I have a feeling that would be different from mountain biking in this respect?
