Andre Mostert Your video(s) of course just give a rough idea and I only can give you a biased interpretation :-) ... checked your South African clip once again and one with the Sherman ... you seem to ride a bit hunched forward and keep the wheel quite loose between your legs letting it wiggle left and right most of the time and lean it against your dominant leg, shifting weight to steer. Looks relaxed.
Whereas I myself tend to keep the wheel closely between my legs, ride quite upright (like a gentleman :-) ), bend my knees as far as necessary and steer with my whole body ... twisting lower body + shoving feet + leaning in wheel and whole body in one straight line. Only shifting weight from left to right when really slow ... salsa steps ... and only letting wheel wiggle around deliberately when on really harsh uneven surface or at steep inclines on those downhill trails. I suppose looks more stiff :-)
Obviously both styles work well and I try to learn from that idea
Old Trapper Great stuff thank you for that feedback. Yes I do like to ride where my legs dont really touch the sides. I only touch the sides when you need to turn and point the wheel in a different direction. For me it feels more flow-y if that is a word.
