standing up, or sitting down?

[jgray44]

so i was just wondering, kinda taking a little poll here here, but when you guys ride, are you standing up most the time or sitting down? i have found that i like to stand. i dont konw if this is a good or a bad thing, still kinda hesitant to go up steep hills as i dont know if i should stand and lean forward or sit and lean forward. so lets here your ride styles and riding tips

Varies for me on speed, terrain, and exactly what Im doing.

if its smooth and im not in a hurry i set but i stand the rest of the time and climing steep hills i stand lean a little forward but use speed and momentum mostly

it all depends on the riding situation

I actually tend to sit a lot of the time, and occasionally stand out of reaction. (always stand when climbing) I sit because I'm lazy, and the warrior is like a couch. hahaha

Haha thanks for all the input, I just didn't know if standing all the time was a bad habbit or not.

Nope, not at all. Whatever your comfortable with.

stand on the big bumps, sit most the other times.. it has shocks for a reason let your butt take the abuse not your knees

Yeah standing up will wear ya out faster. Or dose in my book. Just enjoy ya ride man lol

I stand up when im jumping or (tryin) to do wheelies lol. Other than that im pretty much always sitting. You last longer like that = more fun : P

Sit unless it get real rough and jolts me around or if we are at the dunes and hit alot of whoopes in the trial then stand up. To me on the warrior standing has me leaned forward and has my hands in a awkward position

I always am standing up. It is more comfortable to me. I also lean foward alot. And in turns, I twist my hand around and use my fingers for the throttle on the botton side of the handle bars. I ride like a snowmobile.

I usually sit! ...but when i really get into it I find myself doing a sort of half-stand. For me it's easier to shift weight quick but still stay low!
