I have an issue that I feel is holding me back. I've been riding for 8+ years and race B class usually get top 5 but I feel like I should be winning. The reason I think I'm not is I am absolutely terrified of low siding in a flat or off camber corner. Due to this mental block I never push it in corners, and I'm pretty sure I could go twice as fast as I do but I just cannot get myself to carry the speed and momentum into the corner, or get on the throttle as much as I should on the way out. When I try carrying more speed into the corner I just lock up, and end up blowing the corner. Only to realize I could have easily made the corner. I don't get this issue as I'm not scared of long deep ruts, and I'll jump anything on the track 1st or 2nd lap.
Does anyone have any tips for getting more comfortable with the thought of low siding? Should I do it on purpose a few times so I realize its not that bad? I can't explain how frustrating it is when someone passes me in a corner, because I'm slowing down so much.
Thanks in advance!
