When leaning the bike over fairly deep?
Ive always tried to just prop myself up with the front quarter of my foot (just behind the toes) and use my leg strength to move my weight over from side to side and to hold position when cornering.
The problem I am having is that when I try to get my upper body mass AWAY from the centre of the bike and off the bike into the corner....my ass doesnt come far enough off to keep a decent body position....
When I do bring my ass further off the seat to make for a more comfortable position from upper body to lower body......so much of my (considerable lol) weight gets put onto my one leg on the inside. This makes for jerkier movements in general. But also it makes for cramps and a good deal of muscle stress.
Its not that I have weak leg muscles I do weight train a bit and work a physical job. Not sure what else I could do to better distribute my body weight in order to facilitate smoother transitions from left-right-left-right-etc as well as a more relaxed body position in general when leaning deeper into corners.
Not looking for people to write an essay (though I would appreciate it lol) but even small tips would be handy.
Thanks gents!!
