Default How to hang off the bike

One thing I have noticed with a lot of riders that haven't been to the track and gotten a chance to work with control riders or other experienced twisty riders coming into my area is how bad their body position is when they think they are hanging off the bike. While I am not the king of the best body position and have a lot to work on myself, I thought I would try to give some help to those with little to no help out there. By all means feel free to throw in your own input and correct some of my misinformation.

I have seen a lot is people doing the get half a butt off the seat directly straight off the side of a bike. While this is a good start, it is still not getting enough weight off the bike. What you really need to do is square your shoulders, drop your head to the mirror, and rotate your hips to where your inside leg actually goes foward as you move off the bike and your outside leg is holding you to the bike and your outside armpit is over the tank. It isn't so much coming off directly to the side of the bike as rotating foward with the lines of the tank. Getting your head off center is hard and my main area I have been really working on.
