Watching episode 4 of the Bell Helmets CW2 video series I noticed the high clutch lever position as Webb goes out for a session. I thought it was a mistake and that he was going to smack it to a lower position.
Then watching him ride, the clutch lever was in the high position for the next few scenes.
Watching the later clips of him racing SX, his lever is back to the "normal" position. I wonder if that was a training exercise then. Anybody have any insight?

I remember it being a fad a while back, Matt Moss used to run his levers pointing to the sky and the bars rolled back into his lap in around 2009, Shae Bentley was another one i think that had a similar set up.

Anyhow, when Coop was with Swanny it became something they would of every so often. I still see Swanny do it with all the Star pro and am riders. There’s also a few other trainers I’ve seen do it as well. I’ve also seen them commonly take the rear brake off at the same time. Leaving the riders to focus on roll speed, proper gear position (rather than clutch abuse) and how to maximize the front brake.
