This clown here is not trying to troll anybody and i dont have 5 nicknames. I joined the site 1 month or less for advices and when i start thread serious question always it turns into jokes. Why the f uck everyone thinks i am a scammer and throlling ppl. I am 17 years old, not expert and thats why i want help so stop arguing with me please.
For those people that tried helping me thanks BUT...:

1.Why to straighten the legs- aren't they as shock absorbers, also if i bend more i lower the centre of gravity?
2. Why to go forward-that way i lose traction. This hill is very slippery(but the camera doesn't show the angle)
3. Stefan Everts' elbows are not up too??
Last- Is there a way/position to almost relieve the tension in the arms and transfer it more to the legs because i got strong legs and i dont care if i tire them out

Mitkoo, in the stolen picture above, are you wearing the Bulgarian cold war era track suit you told us about the last time you posted this same question? Did you try the Velcro trick I told you about last time? How about roping your ankles together, bro?

And what about that bike? I thought you were on a Husky now? Remember, you sold your KTM and got a Husky? Or is that only when you're playing Trollmir?

"Help you can."

Mitkoo, I've gone back and read through the posts you've made. If you're a troll, you're not trying very hard. So, for now, I have to apologize and say I'm sorry for thinking you're a troll.

I can't help you with enduro advice because I ride MX only. These guys here though do know what they are talking about, so listen and give their advice a try.

no problem but the attack position is the same in mx. I am asking if its correct because i get a lot of arm pump. Also the track suit isnt that old :D

In general you should have very little weight on your hands. You'll move your body to accommodate the forces of acceleration and braking.
Under acceleration lean slightly into the bars, under hard acceleration lean heavily into the bars. If done properly, you'll never put much weight on the bars due to the acceleration forces. The bike will "push" you with the pegs instead of pulling you with the bars.
Under braking move your hips back so your feet and knees take the braking forces instead of your hands. The harder you brake, the further back your butt will have to go.

A good way to practice this is by standing up and riding along at a moderate pace. Lean slightly forward just before applying a bit of throttle. Notice there's a balance point that allows you to accelerate yet keeps you from having to grip the bars hard. When you want to brake simply shift your weight back and lightly use the brakes. Once again there's a balance point that allows braking and yet has very little weight on your hands. Practice this until it becomes natural, using different amounts of throttle and braking.

Obviously when under really hard braking, particularly on a downhill, it's not possible to keep all your weight off the bars, but you can minimize it with proper body positioning and gripping the bike with your feet and knees.

Forget about proper body positioning, everything you need to avoid arm pump can be found in Aldon's magic cabinet. I strongly suggest the mindfuck powder for your bro because he will get KTFO by a tree sooner or later if he doesn't start using it.

Is It just this one section of track giving you arm pump or is it all hill climbs or technical hill climbs? Also, how tall are you?
