Im having issues with moving my head into the position. Maybe its the gut im carrying around, but generally speaking, when i get my head into what im now calling "the casey stoner position" i can achieve the "cool" look, as ive seen in the video my friend took of me this afternoon, unfortunately, its making the whole bike unsettled. Moving my weight to the front, to a point that when i touched knee down this afternoon, my knee dug in a bit and the back deweighted and "skipped" When i relax a bit, and leave my head in my usual position, i feel great, no weight on the bars, the bike is stable. Using the CSP im feeling anything but stable. Is it just because its a new technique, or are there other forces at play. The back dosnt even feel remotely planted. Head position is a funny thing, because it seems like alot of people do it differently. Doohan pushed the bike under him, stoner and pedrosa have there heads so far off they could probably read the guy next to them's speedo. And rossi seems alot more chilled with the moving of the head. Not so "extreme". Is it a height thing? I know rossi is taller than the average gp star. Is there anyway in australia to get a private coaching session done with this?

Yeah man, i think thats the issue, ive been working on it in my garage with the stands, i think by "straightening" my outside arm, and dropping my inside shoulder and turning my outside shoulder towards the turn, should sort the issue. The problem is bar pressure, when i do this, i put a bit of weight on the handle bars, with my current method, i could probably let go of the handle bars mid corner lol What levels of css address this. Im pumping out 1:48 around eastern creek in traffic, so i dont feel like a slug, Im really keen on the body positioning technique more than anything. I think i need a friend...and a video camera...and a large carpark to sort the issue lol

Hey guys, Been working on my body position for a while now, and seem to have hit the brick wall between what "feels" right and what "is" right. I always position my head to the side im turning upon entry to the corner, and it feels like i keep it to the side for the entire time. But then i get photos like this... But see, from different angles...i look like this! Which i dont think is bad technique at all really? or is it? Are there any hints as to what im doing wrong, it dosnt feel like im pushing the bike under me, or like my head is sitting in the middle of the bike. Ive been thinking it might be the angle the photo is taken on, as alot of guys in the faster groups look exactly the same, except for one, who looks like a spider monkey with his head near his inside hand. Ive attempted to do that, but it moves the weight to my hands, and adds steering imput. I then thought it might be my height, being 6'. But im clutching at straws guys. Any help would be muchly appreciated. Also apoligies to jpm photo's, i couldnt use the high quality ones, due to the 2mb upload thing!
