Re: [RC] diagonals/riding crooked - Jackie Causgrove

If you don't have someone to watch you, then try a couple of these....
 
One stand up in your stirrups and drop your weight in your heels, and then sit back down.  There should be a plumb line from your ears, shoulders, hips and heels, regardless of the discipline you ride in.
 
Another quick cue is that the zipper of your jeans should be in the middle of the saddle (unfortunately, that one requires that you drop you head to look down) but as a quick reference, it's not bad.  Just don't trade one bad habit for another!  :)
