The point about all the sitting they did in the video brought up a conversation with a friend of mine I ride observed trials with now.  He had a factory moto cross ride with Can Am many years ago when Jeff Smith was still with them. He used to do some trail riding with Smith along with some mx practice.  He said not only was Smith incredibly fast and effortless going through the woods, but he rarely put a foot down !
