I consider myself a novice rider and a while ago Ironman said I should rather stand up. I tried it and it fealt like I am going to see my backside and fall my own head into my r'se. I was definitelystanding with my back bent. So I went and got some raisers last week and tried the standing thing this weekend in mud, wet gravel rd and even some very loose rocks. It made a helluva difference and I can now appreciate the value there of. I do however feel as though I  am standing more forward if I straigten my back. Should my weight not be centered over my pegs? Was wondering if I should get high bend handlebars.
