I always use to lean into left bends with my leg tucked behind me and I am now trying to train my body to do the opposite, leg stretched forward as I see on all the pics of other riders on Dirt bikes!
I am sure it is correct because all seem to do it but it freaks me with visions of catching my outstretched left boot in a root or rock and busting it up. And I have a bit of a problem because my back injury and height/angle of seating means I cannot lift that leg forward properly anyway.
Why does dirt-riding mean people have to do it this way, after all I leaned into left turns for many years with the leg tucked back!? I am sure there must be a valid reason but buggered if I can see it!
