This is the very thing that Ryan Hughes is touting in his new DVD; relying on the legs and core, not the arms per se, to guide and control the bike. His more famous disciples (Villopoto, Deidrich ) and followers of this principle (Bubba Stewart and Carmichael ) are known for their ability to ride faster with less fatigue. They also display an elbows down riding style as the arms become less important due to greater use of the legs.rompnstomp wrote:Butt back whether sitting or standing and let your core keep your head and upper body forward and your weight over the pegs. Try to modulate the amount of weight forward/aft using your core, so your head, shoulders and arms stay in the same position. Correct in that your arms should only be concerned with operating the controls, not "hanging on". You "hang on" by keeping your weight properly distributed through contact with the pegs and with your calves (in your case) gripping the seat.
