Hello, former CSS student here I have been riding track for just a little over two years and although I have improved a lot I am told my body positioning is not quite right.
I feel comfortable with my hangoff style, but if I am doing something wrong that is affecting my performance I would surely like to know. Here is my question. Is body positioning so incredibly important as most people make it out to be? I have heard things like "your spine should be perfectly parallel to the bike" etc. yet I have seen pictures of Doohan and Bayliss with a spine positioned crooked to the axis of the bike. What is the truth to this?
My second question is regarding the pics of myself I have attached below. What do you think I should change? I have been told that I hang off too much, I feel comfortable doing it, so is this necessarily a bad thing?
Thanks very much, any advice is appreciated Planning to sign up for CSS Level 2 soon!
