[10-28 Streets Of Willow Springs]

I just came back from class, man that was hard, but I loved it. And I suck big time, but I was trying really hard, I hope I'll do better on level 2....

 

 

 

 

It looks like you were in the green group? I was in yellow..........

 

Just work at your own pace, take your time and you will improve...not too worry

Ditto to what Kevin and Racer said.

 

Just to add: By "crossing up"( i.e. getting your lower body off the bike to the inside(good) while your torso and head is going back across the bikes center line(bad)) you're effectively negating one of the main benefits of "hanging off" which is to decrease the bike's lean angle.

 

So, you're carrying more lean angle thereby dragging hard parts(pegs in this case).

 

Leaning off/hanging off when done correctly means that your entire body moves off to the inside to get maximum advantage from the technique.

 

It takes practice obviously but when used to full advantage it's very helpful to say the least :lol

 

People talk about "kissing the mirrors, etc." as ways to describe the amount of upper body shift . Whatever works for you as long as you're moving your entire body to the inside as opposed to "lower body hanging off and upper body back over the bike"

 

Hope that helps some

 

I don't know if posting this pic will help at all or if I should post it(if not, mods please remove ).........I actually should have been even a bit lower with my upper body than I was but maybe it will help to illustrate what we're trying to say.
