CROSS TRAINING: BODY POSITION ON YOUR DIRT BIKE Body position accounts for much of trials and enduro technique - with such light bikes where and how you move your body has a huge impact on what the bike does. This happens less with a heavier enduro bike, but it is still a critical part of good riding technique.

If accelerating hard or hitting rough terrain, simply crouch down further, then back up again to conserve energy. Your elbows are always up and out to give you maximum control. Point your toes in so that your ankles grip the bike. This should naturally lead to gripping the bike with your legs when needed. This means you won't have to hang on to the bars so tightly, so your upper body, arms and hands won't tire as quickly. This positioning makes the transition between standing and sitting easy, with maximum control of the bike during the transistion. These enduro training vids cover many dirt riding skills and dirt bike techniques such as body positioning for improved off road riding. Cross training applies trials to enduro techniques. The sitting position... your hand levers should be either horizontal or only angled down slightly. Body positioning and weighting are fundamental skills in trials, and watching top trials riders will help with positioning. This will be harder on your quad muscles. A key part of moves like this is the use of body positioning and weighting - choosing when to exert pressure on the pegs and when to de-weight or lift the bike up. Cross training means you will almost always be standing on the pegs of your dirt bike and learning how to use your body weight and positioning to maximum effect to apply trials skills to your dirt bike technique. While an enduro bike is heavier, these skills still play a major part in getting through extreme enduro terrain with ease.
