Descending Skills

Descending capacity, like any other skill, it's best to improving practice. The longer you can spend on the technical descents more confidence and speed to be able to develop. A few local Hot Shots know their practice in motor racing before strategic declines. Although frequent group rides are the best way to develop real bike handling skills with others in descending order does not necessarily help you descend faster alone.

Relax

The most important aspect is rapidly descending relaxation. Too much anxiety can reduce their concentration and miss important aspects of the road surface ahead. Pressing the speed to the point of fear will not help develop skills in descending order. Work on relaxation and smoothness (no sudden movements, braking and spin) and speed will follow.

Think Ahead

A rapid fall will launch long before a corner on the outside and make every braking needs to be done before entering the turn. Then click the apex in the inner edge of the road, finally coming out again on the outside (always leaving some room for error and unforeseen hazards). The key is to gradually get into position smoothly and follow a line through the corner. If you are doing everything fast, charque movements that take as a sign that you need to slow down and spend a little more attention further up the road.

Brake Ahead

Use your brakes only until the beginning of a corner, never use the brakes in a corner. At that point any traction used for braking significantly reduces the available traction for cornering. If you do not have to brake after entering the curve straightening his line before applying the brakes. If the road surface is good use primarily the front brake. If traction is poor to change the rear brake and start to break before. In auto racing circles there are two schools of thought on the art of braking. One calls for gradually releasing the brakes when entering the corner, the other advises hard braking until the beginning of the curve sharply and the release of the brakes just before entering the curve. A cyclists should probably combine these techniques depending on the road surface, rim veracity, brake hard, wear headset and the proximity of other riders.

Leaning

Motorcyclists and cyclists lean their bicycles very different in a corner. When you go fast motorcyclists keep their bicycles as upright as possible to avoid scraping the pins or pipes. Bicyclists, on the other hand lean their bicycles in the corner and keep the body upright. Both motorcyclists and cyclists in extending the knee down to lower the center of gravity. To pedal through corners like a motorcycle make and keep the bike upright while the inner part of the pedal is down.

Turning

One of the hardest things about fall into a group is going. It is not always possible to start the fall ahead of anyone who may be slower decline. If you are behind someone who is easy to take either hang out a safe distance behind or move very carefully. Turning to a fall is always difficult and dangerous. By the same token, if you're in front of someone who obviously wants to spend, not to mention them at the earliest safe time. Never proceed to impede the progress of someone on a journey of training if they are in bicycle or a car. Always make enough room for anyone trying to pass no matter what the speed limit can be. Be courteous and considerate and happy forever.

Go Easy

Remember that racing down is not what bike racing is all about. There is no need to keep up with Jones. "This is what causes many an accident. Compete against yourself in the downturn. The Belgians are notoriously slow descenders due to the constant rain conditions. However, some of the best cyclists of world on trains rainy roads. Do not get caught pushing some wet or unknown descent. Be prepared for a car or a patch of oil or dirt in the middle of your way around every blind corner no matter how many times have you been on a road. Take it easy, relax, exercise their powers of concentration and hammer again when you can turn the pedals.
