You can't do this (attached) with Crazy Bars unless you have hinged brake levers. The relaxed hand position is palms at about 45 degrees with thumbs around the bar ends and heel of the hand on the handle bar. On sketchy descents you have a standard straight bar with two finger braking. Shifting and braking are accessible in either position. I'm not currently using this, but it worked for several years. Using Northroad variations now since my wrists like the 45 degree angle.
I realize this photo may disturb some folks, but the thread is called weird handlebar idea.
