Yeah that's sounds kind of weird, but makes sense. It sounds to me like you're getting your
hips in the air so you can get a longer pedal stroke. I thing I accomplish the same thing by
throwing my bike side to side like crazy. One thing that'll happen to me is you'll be climbing
with your weight so far forward that your rear wheel will lose traction which sucks.

I just went up to kettle moraine, wi this weekend and that's one of my tricks I use.
Another is to swerve like a drunken seamen (or women). sounds like fun.
