May sound stupid but - is this true? I always understood "neutral" position as evenly distributed weight on back and front wheel, with "relaxed" legs and arms. I guess the legs will always take the major part of the body weight, but I put some pressure on my arms and try not to be "too far back" or only on my feet.
Maybe I was doing it all wrong?
