[QUOTE="HajiWasAPunk, post: 1079361, member: 62723"] Yes, it does feel weird at first to accelerate while standing up. And this technique is perhaps more appropriate to Motocross where the track is rough. To combat the problem you're talking about, of coming off the back while accelerating, that's why you have bend at the hips and lean forward, with your elbows bent. If you find the bike pulling so hard that your arms become straight, then chances are you didn't get far enough forward. This body position is imperative for reducing fatigue and arm pump as it allows your back, shoulders and chest to help (it will also help keep the front of the bike weighted so the lifting in the front you mentioned doesn't get out of hand).
