Every type of turn needs it's own special line.
It all made more sense with the side course Stan made with his version of "circle of trust". I'll call it "Stan's circle of trust"
I noticed when you go towards the inner circle and you attack the center cone tight you'll run over the outer cones. So the best way to get through it is to brake late and go as wide as you can in the inner circle. I noticed it tightens my radius and coasting the gas lets me exit the inner circle without running anything over. But if I were to rear brake my line becomes too tight and I run over a cone. If I were to add any throttle I would run wide and run over the other cone. It would probably help people develop a sense of confidence in their bike staying up if we were required to do a revolution or two in the inner circle. It's probably the key to learning to keep a right 360 radius with full lock and lean. It's also a great drill to practice counterbalancing. Could also be a good eye drill, but I didn't reach that level to practice that.

Non-motogymkhana thing I learned, as long as you have lean angle to spare you can still trailbrake (of course the amount scales with speed) . I progressively learned how much trailbraking I can get away with on even some 360 turns. Judging by my front tire's condition I could still get away with a little bit.
