[QUOTE=Irulan;324036]You might want to play with and practice the basic body position for mountain biking, called either the attack position or the neutral position. Pedals level ( 3/9) standing up - extending but not locked, but not just a little crouch off the saddle either. Eyes forward, no death grip on the handlebars, just one or two fingers on the brakes.

Thanks. I'll try this. I need to learn some technique other than basic "survival" for sure.
