So, I need to know if I got a proper riding form down. Can you guys help me??? I honestly think it looks good but am not too sure!

Here are some pics. to help you decide if I need to change anything or not.








Haha, but in a serious note...I ride a moto more like a DH bike and need to break the habit of riding super far back on the moto. Any suggestions?

Also, post up pics. of you riding so I have something to compare it to. I ride tracks, desert and trails so would like to see all types of pics. to help figure things out. Thannkksss!!

P.S....got a couple other pics. from riding too that are more serious. Don't know if you can tell much from them but hoping somebody can. Only been riding for about two years now but not very often.

The second one seems like the best air position to me. Having your knees out adds air resistance and keeps you low, like scrubbing.

Try to ride more centered over the pegs. Other than that your form looks pretty good. I ride differently depending on what I'm riding. Track I try to stay as central on the bike as possible. In the woods I'm all over the place but primarily centered and low. Desert I ride way front heavy except for long sections of whoops or really deep whoops. PM me if you wanna go riding. I'm just down the coast from you and ride all the time.

Don't be nice. His form sucks and you can tell. Get those testicles up on the tank and your elbows pointing at the stars. If you're not riding the tank, you better be on your DH bike!:D

This is proper race etiquette.


SRS response:
Buy / "acquire" Shane Watts' Dirtwise instructional video. It's fairly helpful even though it's mainly for woods/GNCC riding. He talks a lot about body position.
