Hot ticket that night for tires was to apply a liberal dose of wood rasp and a spray bottle of bleach too.
BTW, MX, I was looking at newer MX shots and you are right: there are alot of guys sitting a bit more upright on the corner edge of their seats. Wonder why the change?

i don't know, you have far more motorcycle experience across the ages of time than i do. i think it is being over analyzed in here, honestly. probably whatever balance point feels good at the moment.
i think the fundamentally important part to try and keep in the back of your mind is to generally weight the outside and the arm position...but even the arm positions can waiver a bit.
in your second pic of the series of three, i think your body is angled even more than one would first think. kind of an optical illusion. i can look at it and see why you say everything is in line. then i can look at it longer and clearly see there is some torsion going on and the angle from your thighs to torso is clearly bent. the shirt is puffed out a little on your left making it look straighter i think. i was trying to imagine the shot with your shirt off.
i think a lean would be more obvious.
oops, now i am over analyzing!
i hope the OP is confused now
did anyone catch the zombie movie? i doubt my blockbuster has it

i think we should join a motocross forum, i'd have to think of a good handle though.
