 the bike is going to move around under you . don't tense up &
 try to stop it..
 
 Wheel weighting... straight line / bumps / rocks / ruts , keep your weight
 back to let the front wheel float over bumps etc... corners move your weight foward.. 9 times out of 10 it's the front wheel that gets you into trouble...
 
 Riding along the side of a hill put your weight on the out side foot peg &
 lean you upper body away from the hill....
 
 Being a road rider you will know that while cornering to keep
 your weight below the bikes centre line... but on the dirt/lose surface
 keep your weight above the bikes centre line...
 
 Another diffrents to road riding is keep your elbows up , don't let them drop
 into a road riding position...
 
 
 and have fun....

          Whats this high elbow thing ? Why is it so crucial ? I always put elbows down ON ROAD. why always up off road ?
