Good. One thing I would say is death grip hands, like hold the handle bar grips as firm as possible(my hands are too weak as I'm older, I need to strengthen them, but I used to need new grips often). Also, inside pedal in the high position when you turn can be helpful in some high lean/tight turn situations. Much of this stuff people do naturally.
