Better lean

Nice pix, man! I'm no expert but I think hanging off (besides looking cool) makes the likelihood of lowsiding much lower. More of the middle of the tire used as the contact patch, bike more upright, center of gravity more vertical...all should help keep the bike from sliding out from under you, plus it's easier to 'flick' the bike in quick transitions if it's not all the way over to one side.

Again, no expert - you're much more of an expert than me, considering the track time! Gotta get myself some more gear and head down to Mid-Ohio next year.
