That can't be it. Pedrosa's leg is measured in ounces.
Maybe he transfers some of his ego to his leg in turns...

In theory it would make the CoG of the bike lower & to the inside (which is better)
Not to mention it moves the CoG closer to the front wheel. No idea if that's good or bad though.

Definately not repositioning, because Rossi goes a bit beyond adjusting his leg.
Its on the borderline ridiculous side of how far out and how long he dangles that leg. My new theory is that he likes to rewatch the race and listen to the commentary suck on his nads about it.

make the beast with two backsstick McPintsize and Hopper were both hanging legs off two years ago:
Hayden even puts a hand down sometimes
The leg-off thing has to be about weight distribution. And it's a better technique than Lorenzo's new radical version of hanging off.
And anything has to better than Stoner's technique for getting more weight over the front end.

Schwantz does the repositioning thing around 1:57, but it's hardly a dangle.

the doing it into right handers is definitely a new thing.
i think it started as a hybrid former-dirt-person/GP-shift-reposition-for-lefts/who-knows thing and has since become a maybe/maybe not imaginary trick for handling very deep braking.
all the new guys you see doing it now, you'll see them doing it only under heavy braking. i've seen the media (and mladin) make fun of them, but hey... if you
think
it helps you, it does.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to me a foot on the peg transfers weight low and to that side. Taking your foot off the peg puts the weight of your leg back on the seat.

I like this theory and your first one!
Although your first one wasn't nearly as funny as this one.
Quite frankly this has degenerated into a funny as hell thread. Spidey's posted pics absolutely cracked me up!! I'm still leaning towards extra wind drag and COG stuff. Guess I missed the right hander foot off peg stuff. Again, none of this goofy shit is ever going to help me. Still fun to watch though.

WELL...I would say that it puts the weight on the seat except by this point they have also shifted their body so it isn't centered...the center of their body is to the inside of the bike when this transfer is occurring....so the whole center of gravity for braking and turning is changed from what you would be thinking in terms of weight on the seat and therefore the dynamics are of a different fluidity.

A bit off topic, but can someone post up the video clip of this event? It's always good for a little comic relief.
