Notice how at 2:17, Haiden takes the rutted right hander standing the entire way until the exit and then sitting to get power to the rear wheel. The next 2 riders sit at the entrance of the corner. Huge difference in skill. The top guys like Roczen and Tomac all stand deep into the corners as well.

[@scott729]

agree ... he has been taught well

[@tharins4]

yes and Eli Tomac has taken standing all the way through the corner to a new level , Him and his dad training on mountain bikes gave Eli some very useful skills, and Dangerboy did some riding with Eli , im sure he was paying attention !!!!

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Marty Trip[es started it in the 70's But when the tracks tested men and not boys, the berms/ruts would also have whoops in them, so you had to stand. I don't think much of MX anymore, when you can sit on the straights coming out of the corners. Other than the jumps, these are the easiest pro tracks in the history of the sport.
