The rider is positioned kneeling in front of the engine with hands near the front wheel, while the passenger moves about the platform at the rear transferring their weight from left to right according to the corner and forward or back to gain traction for the front or rear.
The passenger also helps the rider when it comes to drifting, and is also usually the first person to notice any engine problems since he is next to the engine while the rider is in front of it.
The two must work together to be a successful team.
Nowadays it is common to call the rider the "Driver" or the "Pilot", while the passenger has several nicknames: the "Acrobat" used in North America which is no longer in use, and the now common term "Monkey" which originated from Australia. Occasionally the words "Co-Driver" or "Co-Pilot" are also used.(taken from wiki)
