Scott Burnworth used head-tilt to increase cornering speed

Sunday, April 29, 2012


Here's a stop-the-high-speed-action image of Scott Burnworth making quick work of the St. Pete National MX course in Florida.

Note the most excellent head tilt.  I was so into the sport that I didn't truly need a bar-banger of a race; I would simply enjoy the nuance of each rider as they negotiated the terrain.

I read recently that our head weights about 18 pounds. My theory here is that The Burner is using his entire body as a momentum missile, leading with head mass to propel the RM Suzuki into the turn.

Are any of you buying on to this? Well, at least I tried.
