I started doing this every time I take a ramp now

Then everything we have listed is what you want.

In all honesty, if you want to learn some basics, feel free to come up sometime, and we'll just go drive around. You can learn plenty on public roads without being in danger.

Corner entry, and smooth inputs are something you can always practice, too. Also, "driving with your fingertips".

I may just take you up on that. If I do, I promise to pay you handsomely in snickerdoodles.

Only for the parts where Steve stays on the road. You can attempt to Steve it if you dare, but this is not recommended.

You're probably right. If we were in superior Mustangs we'd trot right back on the road.

Be very weary of a Bobo that wants to teach you to do something "with your finger tips."
