    Some nice tips. I read somewhere that on switchbacks you
    should point your inside knee as far out as possible. This
    at least helps from whacking the handlebar on your knee, but
    it does seem to me to make it easier to do switchbacks.
    Maybe its a mental thing. I agree they can be plenty tough,
    and often the penalty for failure is quite high.

    Cool. I think you should put a transparent background on
    the penny.

    On switchbacks, I always try to keep my front wheel taking a
    nice wide line (as wide as possible). Makes it easier to
    keep a smooth roll going.

    Nice job.

    Excellent stuff. I'll try and remember to put a link in the
    FAQ at some point over the weekend

    Couple of constructive comments.

    Under 'How about some general riding tips?' "These care some
    core concepts" should be "these are..."

    Is 'target acquisition' the right phrase? I thought it was
    'target fixation'.

    Perhaps a small description of when the attack position
    should be used.

    what cookie? I'd be happy to, but I don't have a clue what
    you are referring to...you can email me with particulars.

    I appreciate the constructive critcism from everyone.

    I thought the attack-neutral position is the basis for
    everything else?

    thanks for typo correction, noted.

    can rephrase target aquisition/fixation: you fixate, then
    acquire. ;-)
