Message: [QUOTE="wjp, post: 268564, member: 26170"] Ok, having only been riding for 4 weeks I have a question. This weekend I was trying to get the hang of riding standing up, as the terrain here is VERY rocky and you just can not get anywhere quickly sitting on the bike. My question is I found is relativly difficult to accelerate smoothly. When I gassed it the momentum of my body would be pulled back and I found myself pulling the throttle even more, and getting myself into situations were I could get off the gas as I was accelerating too hard. What do you guys/girls do to combat this. Have I just got my weigt wrong - do I need to lean over the bike much more when standing? Am I holding the throttle wrong? Any ideas much appeciated.
