[QUOTE="Smitty, post: 34420, member: 16698"] Heres my 2% of a buck. I think it's important to sit far forward in this situation for a couple of reasons. I'm looking at this from the point of making the turn fast rather than avoiding a crash. One you can never have to much weight on the front end if the ground is suitable. This avoids losing the front end and lowsiding. Two and most importantly to me is that sitting forward unloads the shock. When a highside occurs it typically involves a traction spike and resultant shock compression and excessive rebound sending the bike UP and OVER! If you are on the front and keep the rear wheel in a controlled spin, any traction variations will be less exaggerated on the shock travel and hopefully avoid a disaster. [/QUOTE]
