[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1241989, member: 3828"] Actually, for dirt riding you intentionally want to throw everything that you ever learned about body position for on-road riding out the window, and do pretty much the opposite. You intentionally want to keep your upper body and head more upright than the bike, and push the bike down into the corner while applying power. This promotes a rear slide, which allows you to throttle steer around the bend. [IMG]https://www.dirtrider.com/sites/dirtrider.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/8881402.jpg?itok=xec2R7-D[/IMG] The extended inside leg is not to act as an outrigger like in flat track, or so you can dab if the rear kicks out too far, though that happens sometimes; it's to move some weight to the inside of the turn without leaning your upper body that way.
