Or taking your enduro technique to the next level? Get into cross training. A good way to form this habit is by weighting the inside footpeg into corners instead of turning the handlebars.

Top riders can blast along single track at ridiculous speeds on single track by using the edges of the single track as little berms when cornering. Impressive to watch but there is very little room for error. As with all aspects of dirt riding on single track, think outside the box when it comes to line selection. You don't have to stay in the middle of the single track especially if there are puddles of water, tree roots or ruts in the middle. Sometimes it pays to do a slalom action across the single track and ride up and down those little walls at the edge. When it gets nasty in single track and you have to sit, remember your traction control tips for getting over obstacles like tree roots. You can rock the bike or do a seat bounce with a controlled drop of the clutch. See our video on traction tips when you are stuck.
