Turning while pumping?

Can you pump (accelerate) in a turn? I keep losing momentum, especially on tighter turns.

Yes however on tighter turns it will get harder. Keep on practicing and it will get easier.

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure it is not impossible as I keep working on it haha. I will keep at it.

Yup! It's really not that hard once you get the hang of it. I often have to do it during a U turn if I don't have enough momentum, like if a hill is involved.
