[QUOTE="MX823, post: 230395, member: 25733"] I am 6'4" and I ride and race a 125. Believe it or not I run an applied upper with a protaper YZ low bar, The low I think helps me keep in a forward position, I use stock seat foam and have not moved the pegs. I can not grip seat/tank with knees, but what I have done to compensate is to grip with the calf and ankle. If you point your toes outward slightly it is easier, I also find it easier to shift. I also use the terrain to help make movements easier. There is a bigger transition to go from sitting to standing or vise versa. But upon entering a turn when I brake hard and the weight shifts towards the front , I use that momnetum to sit, Exiting turns there is always some sort of acceleration bump use that help in standing. I tend to stand more than many guys, as mentioned above if you look at travis's style he stands more than anyone out there, Also in the rough stuff we have an advantage it takes alot for a rear fender to hit me than it does for someone who is 5'9".
