Absurdity level maximum reached.
Never going to be able to un-see that now... Will stand out every time I watch a rerun.

One thing I noticed is that he leans his torso forward almost 90 degrees just before the initial leg lift, making a plank-like straight line from head to toe; maybe Frakes was heavily into yoga at the time?
It was probably something used to build character as Riker is supposed to be a dominant personality he doesn't just sit, he conquers a chair.
It was a tick either Frakes came up with himself or something the directors/creators of the show wanted to convey.
Kind of like Picard's tunic-adjust

Blasphemy! That you would fail to use the proper nomenclature (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Picard_Maneuver#Background_information)...

Le sigh
Hmm, I'd noticed that back when I was originally watching Next Gen. I considered it to be part of his I'm-so-cool personality (nowadays I'd call that"swagger"). Still, kinda creepy looking back at it.
It also seems to be a faster way of sitting down. He'd otherwise have to walk around the chair.
Though early in the video the way wesley sat down seemed more odd to me.
I'd like to see Troi sit in a chair like that...
