Message: [QUOTE="bud, post: 105091, member: 16160"] Re body position, the advice of Ty Davis in the Gary Semics book usually works for me: "Unless tackling an obstacle that will disrupt your suspension, usually you should be in the seated position, but exactly where depends on a lot of factors. The idea is to maintain traction by sitting over the rear wheel, however this can cause the bike to wheelie. Most of the time, the best body position for climbing steep hills is to be seated with your body weight forward to keep from wheelying. It's basically the attack position... On more gradual hills, sometimes standing is preferred, especially if there are a lot of acceleration bumps." [/QUOTE]
