Tips on hard braking practice?

BRC Rider's Guide p.37 says you can brake in a lean, but be smooth and straighten the bike as it slows. That's for an emergency stop- this shouldn't even be that. At some point you can roll off (one form of braking) and as the bike slows, straighten it up a little. Make sure your bike is straight when you stop.

It was my impression from the OP that they were going to a BRC 2 course and had concerns about hard braking and obstacle avoidance. Since they had put these two together would you not say that the advice in the BRC Rider's Guide (bottom of p.38 and top of p.39) would be more appropriate?

Not being familiar with that course is the following video an acurate coverage of the exercises undertaken?

Let's look:

I think you're reading too much into it.

Got me- I'm in the original rebel state, so I don't teach MSF stuff.
