Thumbs up Outside peg

Yes, that is a huge tip that really works well. Theres a big sweeping rutted corner with whoops at my local MX track. Forever I have had to creep along seated, and often getting tossed because of the ruts. I started actualy lifting my inside foot a quarter inch and standing. Now I just cruise around with little or no bobbles.

I have trouble with my shifting while standing.

The ride is pure CHAOS through the sandy whoops where I live. To alter my hand grip at all to grab the clutch lever seems like suiside to me. I handle this by simply not using the clutch. I just shut the therottle with each up shift, and shift through the gears. Im still having foot troubles because I hate to alter my foot position on the peg for my shift. Fortunatly, my GG has a fairly wide third gear, so Im not needing to shift up a lot. The GG handles well enough, that I am working tword going in fourth.

Still, suggestions are always welcomed.
