Swerve Directions
Practicing this exercise properly will help you swerve to avoid a potential
hazard. Approach the first pair of markers. As you reach the markers you
should be going 10-15 mph. Make sure you've decided on which direction you intend to
go before starting the exercise. As your front tire passes the first pair of
markers, make a swerve (right or left). Go to the outside of the next marker but try
not to cross line "A" or "B". Do not stop; continue at a steady
speed and repeat the exercise.
Coaching Tips
- To swerve right, push right until you have cleared the marker, then push left to resume
straight ahead.
- Push on the handlebar in the same direction you want to go. (Push right to go
right, push left to go left.)
- Do not brake and swerve at the same time.
