Harsh braking bumps before turns and berms are an inevitable development on all tracks, whether it be motocross, cross-country or even TT events. They can become very aggravating and may kick and buck your quad as well as ruin your rhythm through the turns. No one understands how to tackle braking bumps better than John Natalie Jr., who has recently overtaken the point lead in the ATVA GNC MX Series.
