And here I thought it was 1. Wait until the other guy brakes, then count to one-half... 2. Brake like all hell and dive into the corner... 3. Use the power of the bike to make up for what a shite rider I really am!

Great advice! Correct braking technique should be the first thing any new rider learns.
