Re: question for all the downhill racers......
In addition to what everyone else said, grabbing behind your back wheel forces you to put more weight over your front truck and wheels. In addition grabbing further back on your board will pull your back wheels in more putting even more of the pressure over your front wheels. It depends on the person and the turn where you grab. I recommend getting out of the habit of stink bug and then just experimenting with grabbing at different places on the board till you figure out a system that works good for you.
