Body Position, Old School Vs New School
 

Anybody read this article about body position in Sport Rider: http://www.sportrider.com/ride/146_0...ion/index.html
I read it twice before I figured out that old school is chest over the tank (and I assume) counter steering. New school is leaning way off with the butt and upper body.

I thought old school cornering was pushing on the inner handlebar, or countersteering. If your upper body moved because you were pushing that way, so be it. That's what I used to do. Now I lean my upper body off the bike for (almost) every corner, and lightly push on the bar. Hey, I ride just like Eric Bostrom.

I've read it a few times, always looking for articles to read

Nold School.


I don't hang it all off as much as Bostrom, but I also use more upper body than Hodgson.


Part of being built like a gorilla.

In both styles they're still countersteering :shrug:

I ride more like Ponch and John.

I ride like me. If I have to say I ride like anyone that would be my hubby, but what could you expect he is the one that taught me.
This means very little hanging off the bike.

that's correct!


i myself am new school(hanging off the bike), makes more sense to me and seems to work much better as far as fast corner speed

I'm working on new school.....but still have a long way to go.

Are you hinting that you need help with your body positioning?

Pssst.....Call me!
