HANG ON LOOSE

ONE OF THE HARDEST SKILLS TO TEACH IS HOW TO HOLD THE BARS.  Some new riders are gripping like they're on a roller coaster that might launch off the rails at any moment.  Others, lazy and loose.  One will prematurely tucker ya out...

... the other?... can end very badly.

I once heard it explained as like riding a galloping horse, the reigns are flying and flapping yet they are also tight and firm in one's grasp.

That's a good visual.

 If you're on the road it's not quite as obvious until a direct hit with a pothole or something like it.  The more dirt gets the equation the more imperative it is to practice good bar gripping.

You know what else helps?
