Message: [QUOTE="Shig, post: 808550, member: 50190"] You want to stand at the takeoff so your legs can absorb any strange movement the bike makes as it leaves the ground. If you are sitting, then you and the bike will react as one. Wherever the bike is going (nose down, sideways, front high, etc.) is the direction your body will go with it. If you are standing, then your body can move independently of the bike. Standing gives you a stable base from which to control the bike in the air as well. Stay bent at the knees and squeeze the bike between your legs and it won't feel like its going to fly out from under you. Stay standing at the landing and use your legs to absorb the impact. [/QUOTE]
