Here's an article on attack position. I don't get too far off the back unless I'm in deep sand. You don't want to be pulling on the bars or throttle. Definitely agree with PD you want to be on the gas over obstacles....a general rule is the sharper the edge of the jump or kicker, the more throttle you want. If you hit a sharp bump like a root or dirt kicker fast with a neutral or closed throttle, the rear compresses and will try and ping you over the bars.
Anyways, to start with, just standing up and gripping the bike hard between your legs (oo-er) will keep you out of most trouble!
