[QUOTE="Travace, post: 121380, member: 111"] i was standing a lot. in fact its something that in my head i have been in training mode. more and more i think of my ride as a work out so before when it was nothing else but fun to me i would sit the second i felt that burn. now i push through it and im building those muscles and making the fat cry at the same time. In teh sweet singletrack i think i was actually sitting a lot more and part of it was the tight corners. i haven't always been comfortable with standing and shifting(use to sit to shift)/cornering so i think that when im really trying to push it i will start sitting earlier then i should and im hesitant to stand right back up if it is that im sitting into a corner and i see another corner coming up. i have been getting more and more comfy with standing up in a corner and really leaning into it or what have you depending on teh terrain in the past few months tho. I definitely will take your advice about the getting my weight up over the bars and give it a shot. Maybe thats what i have already been doing lately that makes it feel less sketchy in a corner standing. either way next ride you can bet your bottom dollar i will be thinking about it... :thumb: this old dog will never stop learning new tricks [/QUOTE]
