I know you have just 7 posts, but try to use the search feature 'cause this has been discussed many times on these forums. That's why you have 80 views with no reply. Just saying.

youtube is a great place to get some visual aid. MXTV has some cornering lessons, not stroke specific, but good general things you should practice. Search MXTVshow and find the rider tips vids.

lesson one:

The key is to carry as much entrance speed out of the turn as possible.

lesson two:

Flow down the trail (or track), aiming high, using your lower body and rear tire (throttle) to position the bike through the turn.
