With regards to your ankle, Concentrate on getting the outside thigh/knee locked into the tank. Pushing down on the outside peg helps. you should find that you carry less weight on you inside ankle/foot and more through the tank.
Sitting further back on the seat and leaning over the tank more also will help with your body position. People have a tendency to sit quite upright. I always use the level I would be at to look through the screen (as much as you can), as a guide. Obviously when you hang off the bike, you'll look to the side of the screen, but it gives and indication of how low to get to the tank.
Lastly (and I think you know this  ) try and keep your neck and spine parallel to the bike as you hang off.
Having trackday pics is cool to work on body positioning - especially because you can compare it to club/national/international racing pics and draw direct comparisons  |
Good advice there Luke.
Photo's are OK mate.
Very minor points. I thought your body looks a little twisted, keeping the bike lower than your upper body, this is very natural as you keep the head high to see more and feel safer. Try to move your weight across rather than twist to hang your butt off. Head is a little up, lean your head in to the corner and your upper body should follow. This will mean your ankle has less twisting and therefore stress. As like says, keep the weight on the outside peg and lock the leg in
