Sit when riding off-road, when, how and why

Standing isn't always the right answer, it's ok to sit when it's ok to sit. But just like standing there is a technique that goes with it.

As a professional trainer/instructor I am often asked why it is wrong to sit when riding offroad. In this video I cover the proper technique for riding a motorcycle offroad as well as when it is ok to sit and when you should stand.
The truth is there is always a place and time for each technique. When traveling we will spend a lot of time sitting. Even in sand and mud there are places and times when it is ok to sit. If you are going to spend days on end riding through deep sand at some point you will need to relax and just accept the ride…
Most important is to not sit because you are scared to stand. Sitting because you are afraid of mud, sand or water is not correct and can be very dangerous
