Frank Warner's Guide to riding when you don't know what to do.

This is a guide for those that are new riding the Australian bush.

When you don't know what to do!

Do NOT brake or reduce the throttle.

If anything you should increase the throttle, not a great fist full but a little, so as to lighten the front. This is called "When in doubt, power on".

Most beginners when faced with a situation where they don't know what to do will "back off" reduce power, the front becomes heavy and they loose control... crash. Some even brake, probably the WORST thing you can do on a dirt surface if you want to retain control.

So,

"When in doubt, power on"
