[QUOTE="Girlrider, post: 367530, member: 19703"] bbbom, First if you are riding slow behind your kid then sit. Standing is to keep your back and butt from getting beat up and making you tired. I certainly ride sitting down when following someone going slow on easy terrain. But to get yourself in shape and used to standing this is a good time to do that. Second as for tight, twisty with roots and rocks I would certainly try to stand only because getting beat up by the roughness of it all is not good. Use your legs as additional suspension. But there are times when you have to sit down to get better traction. I find I stand more than I sit but don't be fooled I do sit as well. Lisa, With your bike you will be feathering. Someone on a 4 stroke might not have to. As I come into a tight turn I like to have the clutch ready so I can pull it in a little and get the rpms up on the motor so that when I come out of the turn I have the power there. Doing this allows me to stay in a higher gear and not have to shift as much. You know at the World round how the riders would "rev" the engine just before a big obstacle. They do that so the power delivery is right there and the motor won't bog down. You kind of do the same thing in a turn but pulling the clutch in slightly and get the revs up (Give is some even throttle), then when you let out the bike is ready to pull strong and not slow. A KEY point here to get fast is you HAVE to LOOK AHEAD several feet so that you a prepared for the next turn. If you look right in front of you you will not get faster. Good luck and keep practicing. Next Question. . . . .???? Nicole [/QUOTE]
