    Yeah, lay a bit of wood down across your path and practice standing on the pegs and giving it a squirt to loft the front wheel over it at about 20-30kmh - good practice for jumping ruts as well as flicking the front over tree roots and what have you.
    Also good to see what forward-to-back body position does to help the most when standing, if that makes any sense

    Also, elbows up - imagine you've got your arms out like superman flying
    Cheesy as all f*ck but easy to remember

    Hi Stu, I'm quite keen on one of those grab straps too but of course I don't own a Forza! Interested in what your price is though, have been thinking about getting one of these for ages. Thanks

    Cornering: Road riders tend to lean forward and down when cornering. Dirt biking is very different in that you sit in a much more up right position when cornering. Otherwise some good information here to keep you going for ages.
