Exercise:  Obstacle Swerve

Directions
Practicing this exercise properly will help you swerve to avoid a potential hazard.  Approach the first pair of markers.  As you reach the markers you should be going 10-15 mph.  Make sure you've decided on which direction you intend to go before starting the exercise.  As your front tire passes the first pair of markers, make a swerve (right or left).  Go to the outside of the next marker but try not to cross line "A" or "B".  Do not stop; continue at a steady speed and repeat the exercise.
