Thanks, geargrrl--I'll get that idea out of my head and start visualizing it with pedals flat. I am probably NOT turning my hips properly, or, well, at all because I don't even ride the damn switchback yet!Contessandt, just a note about "pedal down" when cornering. It's more appropriate for high speed, non-technical corners (think berms) than it is for any type of turn on a technical trail. Now, if you are turning your hips properly, the outside pedal may drop some, which ok , but pedal down isn't something to strive for when learning.
Anyway, any advice on trails to ride in the Spokane area? I have a feeling nothing's going to feel too hard (unless super technical, of course) since I've been riding at 6000-8000 feet!
