My pucks on my Frank Thomas suit were naturally in a bad spot no matter what I did. it turned out to be the suit because the Astars and Dainese suits wear nice and flush. I bet it's the suit.

I don't put my head way down because I don't like the feedback I get from my bike that way. I almost don't feel any feedback doing it, so I keep it up more, I feel it puts me in a solid position to make corrections mid turn if the need arises. Putting your head down is a basic lesson. My theory is the basics are there to get a good foundation going. The faster you get, the more you'll make subtle changes to your form so you feel more comfortable. Look at Colin Edwards. That dude's head is way the fuck out there. Looks cool as hell, too.

Chris, are your hips double jointed?
Thats from years of taking it in the pooper...loosened him up a bit.

Yeah I think you're probably right. I'm going to try to move them some more and we'll see what happens.

Yeah I know what you mean... but I think at my skill level though I shouldn't be inventing my own style just quite yet... I know getting my torso and head forward and down a little more will make me better so I want to work on that. It also should make it harder for you to maintain handlebar pressure mid-corner so that's another benefit.
