When doing sitdowns does everyone sit close to the tank in the middle of thier seats or all the way back ?????

Im trying to 12 and stitting closer to the tank is more stable but sitting farther back is easier to get it up

Seems like when you sit close to the tank i can never get past the bp

Maybe gearing will make things easier for me i have a stock 954

 

when i was learning i was told to sit as close to the tank as possible.This has worked the best for me.Im rocking them 3-5 mph now.Ive tried sitting back farther on the seat and it just makes you get squirly.Gearing will help on the shoot up part and goin slow you just have to get it up high every time.
