Experienced riders know how to handle rutted turns and know where to put the body weight on the bike for a smooth ride through a rutted turn. New riders sometimes find that a rutted turn is hard to get through and often blow out the turn or they grab the ground with their handle bar and fall over. There are some ways to practice rutted turns.

A great place for a new rider to start would be to learn how to keep the body weight on the upper side of the bike going through a rutted turn. Positioning the body on the upper side of the bike helps with control and the stability of the bike going through the turn. New riders often find themselves blowing out the turn. Blowing out the turn normally happens from the wheel not being straight going through the turn. Keeping the wheel straight and letting the bike go through the turn on its own is the best way to prevent this from happening. Grabbing the ground can be preventable also by keeping the wheel straight while going through the rutted turn. Sometimes the rider points the wheel towards the ground causing the handle bar to dig into the ground and throw the rider off the bike. Keeping the wheel straight can prevent this from happening because the rider is keeping the handle bar a certain height from the ground so it does not dig into the ground. Another reason a new rider finds a rutted turn to be difficult would be momentum. Having decent momentum going into the rutted turn will help a lot. The momentum will keep the bike upright and keep it moving that way when the rider gets into the rutted turn they can open the throttle and move through the turn quickly. Momentum is a key part in taking a rutted turn.

Rutted turns are tough to learn and can sometimes be tricky. New riders can use some of the tips listed to keep their confidence up when it comes to going through a rutted turn. Momentum is something that every new rider should keep in mind because momentum is a huge part of riding a dirtbike.
