Message: [QUOTE="KillJoy, post: 805620, member: 49968"] Once again some tips from my riding book... [B]* CENTER YOUR HEAD When in the central location, or standing, position your head directly above the handlebar mounts. * KNEE POSITION When standing in the central location, position you knee joints directly above your ankle joints. Squeeze the seat with your knees. When you move from this position, pivot from your knees where they squeeze the seat. * SITTING WEIGHT TRANSFER When sitting, shift your weight by leaning your upper body rather than sliding on the seat. * GO WITH THE FLOW Relax you upper body in order to flow with the motorcycle. * LOWER YOUR CENTER OF GRAVITY Carry most of your weight on you footpegs to lower your center of gravity. * ELBOWS UP Keep your elbows up and out, away from tour sides, while over gripping the throttle. * SQUARE SHOULDERS Use side-to-side movement for control. Your shoulders should stay level as you move from side to side on the motorcycle. Do not twist your upper body. Keep your shoulders center toward the direction you want to go. * MOVE AROUND In general, lean forward when you accelerate, and back when you brake. * BACK POSITION Straighten your back when leaning forward; crouch your back when moving back. * FOOT POSITION Ride with the balls of your feet on the footpegs. * FOOT POSITION WHILE BRAKING When using the brake or shifter, the arch of your foot should be on the footpeg. * FOOT POSITION WHILE SHIFTING When you are accelerating and your body position is in the forward position, lift your foot of the footpeg in order to shift. * ONE OR TWO FINGERS ON THE CLUTCH Use one or two fingers on the clutch and keep those fingers on the clutch at all times. * HAND DEXTERITY Learn to work the levers and hold onto the grips independently.[/B] [B]© Pro Motocross & Off-Road Motorcycle riding Techniques[/B] (Forgot about this :bang: ) Hope they help :) [/QUOTE]
