1. Slow Down: Before reaching the obstacle, reduce speed to gain more control and stability. Aim for just enough momentum to clear the obstacle.
2. Steady Throttle: Maintain steady throttle as you approach the obstacle. Avoid abrupt changes in throttle that might unbalance the bike.
3. Focus Ahead: Keep your eyes fixed ahead, looking past the obstacle at the smooth ground.
Crossing:
1. Release the Clutch: Let off the clutch and allow the bike's momentum to carry it forward. Modulate the clutch smoothly to avoid jerking the bike.
2. Body Position: Stand up on the pegs, shift your weight back slightly, and keep your elbows up. This helps you absorb any impact from the terrain.
3. Accelerate Gently: As the front wheel clears the obstacle, gradually open the throttle to provide controlled power and keep the bike moving forward.
4. Remain Focused: Maintain your focus ahead and continue your steady throttle application until you've cleared the obstacle and returned to level ground.
Post-Obstacle:
1. Level Out: Once you're safely past the obstacle, level out your body position, sit back down, and re-grip the handlebars.
2. Smooth Out Throttle: Adjust your throttle as necessary to match your desired speed and continue riding.
Remember, throttle control and smooth, gradual movements are key when crossing obstacles to ensure a safe and efficient maneuver.
