Balls on the gascap, elbows up, foot by the front axle - As much weight as you can on the outside footpeg

You look like your just sitting on the bike. Elbows up, Head up, inside foot out. put weight on the outside footpeg.

Looks pretty good to me! Nice roost by the way.....

[dpops211]

Keep your head up.

Thanks for the tips/advise guys. Next time I ride I'll get some more pictures and then I'll compare them to see the difference. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Looks pretty good other than the fact that you're looking at the ground instead of far ahead at where you wanna go.

[ruddergomes]

also looks like you need to slightly bend that knee (regarding the first pic),

and one finger over the clutch and brake

Agreed. Head needs to be up. If you have to get out of your line for some reason (Rock, rider down, etc) you'll want as much time as you can get to do so. Corners are tricky.

Do you ever turn right? Take some pictures of yourself turning right and then we'll talk about form.

That's sandy. You should be leaning back in that stuff.

Also, don't lean in with the bike on turns. Do some searches on this, but long story short, you want to lean the bike over and sit up straight. More wieght over the center of the bike = more traction to your knobbies.

And everything else anyone else said.

The corners are where you make your move! Get them down!

Never drop your leg to side like in the second photo unless you're flat tracking(catching a rock with your toe hurts, not to mention having your leg ripped backwards), third photo looks the best, elbows up, balls to the tank, getting good weight on the front tire for traction. But the area where you are riding looks really sandy/loamy so weight on the front wheel isn't necessarily a good thing.

Just my .02

I understand what you're saying, but to clarify it more, move your ass to the outside of your seat when cornering (have the edge of your seat up the crack of your a$$) and weight that outside peg, helps to keep your knobbies planted in the dirt (if you ride california or any other hard pack territory, this is essential).

+1 for keeping your weight back in the sand, too much weight on the front tire and you'll just wash out your front end.

Looks like you are just sitting on the bike. You have to get into the bike, be one with the bike dude.
