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 ?
