    Butt back and shoulders down - really bend those elbows! You'll be surprised how much difference it makes. And like the previous post says, really look around to the exit of the corner!

    There has been a recent thread on just this topic, started by the lucky girl whose signficant other bought her a Spesh Safire? Covered a fair bit of ground about this topic, as she felt much more upright on it than her previous bike (Spesh Epic) and worried about going over the bars when descending. I think this is it..
