[QUOTE="jarredtaylor, post: 228997, member: 17047"] I am 6'4" tall.. I just bought a new CRF, I have problems gripping the bike with my knees.. because they are even with the tops of the radiator shrouds. Therefore I bought some gripper style frame guards in hopes that i could grip the bike more with my ankles since my knees wont grab... Is this a bad technique for riding?? I mean in all actuality.. am I too big to ride? I have to watch very cautiously my head placement and body position when jumping because the slight bit too far forward or back will throw me way off course... the center of gravity and bulk of my mass is very high compared to other riders. Another problem I have is when absorbing impacts from whoops or other terrain.. am bobbing up and down on my knees. This is fine for smaller people, but the arc of my knees is beyond 45 degrees, and this places undue pressure on my MCL ligament.. what are effective methods for tall riders and racing?? Are there obvious differences in training a short versus tall rider? [/QUOTE]
