Wanna compile a mental list of things to consider while in the canyons:



Corners that tighten
Crests of small hills
Off camber turns
Loose debris on pavement


Bumps aren't really scary now that I've raised it and loosened up the rebound.

Then again, I suppose none of this even matters when a bland turn like this can take you out if you overdrive your tires:

Of course there's also:



People you might kill, like longboarders.
People who might kill you, like this meathead in a GTR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H00bbfc2ywA&feature=player_detailpage

Cliffs ... Cliffs are bad ... that and broken pavement where it meets the dirt- I've seen that chew right thru a sidewall/tire ...

-Groups of motorcycles making lane share passes, sometimes mid corner.

-Wildlife

-LEOs can be pretty distracting, should they catch you by surprise.

-Potholes and other surface damage.

-Driveways
