Whoa hold the presses here... you guys rotate your hips so they are at an angle to the bike other than 90 degrees?
I keep my hips square/perpendicular to the bike and my spine parallel with the bike. Hanging off with your hips at an angle promotes a crossed-up body position and encourages bar pressure.

The only person who should be rotating their hips and being crossed up is Mick Doohan because he was fast even though his body position was wack.

You aren't really effecting your spine, you are more or less rolling the hips around the tank. This also will get you away from that silly 90 degree from the bike knee look and more of a 45 degree angle where your knee should be. It's hard to explain in words and a lot easier to show in person. You should be all the way back in the seat and when you do this it actually kinda rolls your upper body right where it needs to be for the turn.
