After my last day at Bernie's Gilesy mentioned that I was too on/off on the brakes and needed to start trailing into the corners if I wanted to go faster.

Also said that I should learn to apply rear brake to help bring the rear around (kept running wide at the fish hook).

not too keen on using the rear foot operated brake, does anyone run a thumb brake?
I have been reading up on alot of DIY set-ups that stunters use (basically grab a front of a 250 or similar and flip it).

Also in regards to TD legality will it pass scrutineering?

Cheers,
Andrew
