Yep, I've seen that poor advice in the past max...but watch an actual world class rider ( the Fabian Cancelara video I posted will do) or any downhiller, or any MXer or racing motorcyclist and you'll see that they do lean with the axis of the bike especially if they wish to maintain their speed, their smoothness and their handling.

Poke around the internet you'll find plenty of hackneyed advice (just as in skiing, how many crappy instruction links have you refuted from so called experts?).  But watch the videos of top athletes and you'll see what I'm talking about.
