When you ride motocross your elbows are meant to be above elevated because it gives you better leverage on the track. It allows your bike to move in an up and down motion and side to side motion comfortably. Watch all the pros and you will notice that they all do it. You also have to overgrip or regrip the throttle so when you are pinned (happens to me all the time haha just kidding) your elbow is not below the bars. It needs to be above the bars. The best thing about learning these techniques is that it helps you feel more comfortable and then when you happen to hit an unexpected bump or something like that it is much easier to avoid wrecking. Here I think I do a pretty good job at it even though I'm not that fast. Make sure to check out some of Gary Semics's videos.
