I'm also a stand-up style of rider. I have a short inseam, but my upper body is short as well. (5'6" with a 30 inch inseam) My body can only shift a small amount of weight while seated, but considerably more while standing.
There are lots of factors that go into if I stand or sit. I sit more when I'm on time in an enduro, riding with slower riders and when I'm tired. I'm even more comfortable doing wheelies while standings. |

ive always been a sitdown rider, mow im trying to learn to stand up. when i started riding i was at 250lbs, and only rode single track trails. now im down to 200 or so, and want to ride more aggressively. curently i only stand upwhen im jumping, or hitting whoopties. when i stand up i have to stretch waay out to reach the bars,im 6'5 i need a riser, or some apehangers im going to try some of the excercises anyway, theres always going to be room for improvement, especially for slowly me!

Over here (UK) we're taught to stand whenever not flat out cornering as it's less tiring. I'm not sure I agree but put that down to my poor technique. Standing certainly makes it easier to balance over very rough terrain like rocks but when it's really rough I panic I wont be able to get a foot down fast enough. Again my inexperience.

I been riding dirt just over a year. Last September i completed my first enduro. 9mile lap 6 laps time carded. It was woods open field and soft sand, man it was hard i knew i was suposed to standup but i could only stand for 10 seconds i burnt my self out sitting down i was so not ready,
Since then i have been training harder Weights xtrainer stepper mountainbikin but nothing compares to actually riding the bike. Now i can stand all day up and down as much as needed, The reason fo r training was i know how to ride the bike and what i should be doin but my fitness was slowing me down . Im still not bike fit but with every ride i get fitter, At the end of the day as long as were all having fun everybodys happy |

standing.
I have ridden KTM's for years before i purchased a GG> You don't sit on the orange bikes unless you like monkey butt. They use a covered 2x6 for a seat!!!!!!!!!!! And i sure ain't spending good money on a softer seat,no no no.
