Thats a great way to score a free dirt sample when a ninja log, rock or rutt steals the front end.

Sample principal, less risk. Relax your grip on the bars. They are called the controls because thats what you use them for. If you find yourself holding on, or supporting your body weight through your arms you're doin it wrong.
