Right or wrong? Should I be trailing the front as well????

Stevem you mentioned trailing the front into T2 last week before the lowside?

Could this be a part of my t1 crash a while back?

My lowside was a mixture of the brake lever being set too aggressive ( I have an 18-20 and it was set to the stiffest ) and the front suspension set to stiff ( still at least 1/3 fork travel left unused) and then on top of that trail braking. Hindsight I was asking to much with all three mixed together. I remember hearing a while ago about sliding a pencil rubber across a desk and then doing the same thing with downward force applied.Also when I apply the brakes I try to load the tyre progressively to try and keep as big a contact patch as possible rather that grab a handful and have it rebound and loose contact patch. Great video mate, nice find.
