  Great video and advice. <br>I don&apos;t ride track, but ride multiple types of bikes, terrain and conditions. I ride &apos;crossed up&apos; on pavement quite s bit and ride over the bike in most off-road conditions (and slower conditions on road). Except when hard cornering a cruiser (drag points are a lot lower and tire shoulders usually higher), I hardly ever ride with my upper body hanging all the way off the bike. It just takes too long to shift out of a full hang in unpredictable conditions that are almost everywhere except on tracks where &apos;most&apos; conditions are more constant. For off track riding, being able to pick and adjust a line quickly can make all the difference in keeping the rubber side down and being able to go home after the ride.

  Bravo best body position video I&apos;ve seen yet. I never felt wrong doing that &quot;crossed up &quot; position especially coming from minimoto but friends rip at me for it. And i think its even more valuable on street riding in many ways. Agree 100% with every aspect of this video.

  Body position is one of the most misunderstood and overrated subjects in motorcycling. Everyone treats it as if it is the most important thing and they want to look exactly like motogp guys with elbow down. In reality, it is bottom of the barrel importance compared to so many other things such as vision, proper breaking, smooth inputs, etc. Once the fundamentals are nailed down, then body position can enhance the riding experience and make you faster. Not the other way around. Additionally, once all the other fundamentals are good, you discover that body position is a lot more dynamic and not just some static position you need to get into, this can helps management of traction as well. Excellent video!

  A couple of years ago, one coach, the French rider Cyril Huvier, mentioned that we never keep exactly the same body position throughout a corner. He even talked about the neutral phase, when you completely release the front brake and let the bike fall into the turn. At that moment, he suggested relaxing your inside elbow and almost letting it float and the bike would feel almost like it is going to fall into a turn. On tight, slow corners, it really helps the bike turn better and reduces the turning radius.
