Took about 4 months of having the occasional lap of a roundabout here n there.
Eventually I got a glorious hot day, the tyres were nice n hot so I didn't get my usual tail wobble moments like on my previous attempts.
Bring on Cadwell on the 23rd!
And the proof to boot:

Great feeling when you manage it for the first time! And great that you got some footage of it! Most people's proof is scratched sliders or a damaged bike!

Cheers man, yeah love my GoPro, so versatile. Hoping Focused Events let me take it on track at Cadwell. May need to hide it in fairing somewhere!

Nice one dude. I've never done any proper roundabout surfing, they're too busy round here and I find it hinders things as im more likely to get pulled out on.
Did my first kd at donington on April, and once you've done it you realise it's not much of a big deal. I'd only stick to trying to deliberately doing them on the track though, saying that I got my first knee down on road today without thinking about it! I wouldn't do it regularly out of habit though

Cheers chaps, yes it was more of a challenge thing rather than something to incorporate into road riding.
I went back to the roundabouts this evening but there was Police all over the place, looked like a battle was about to commence between them and the cast of Big Fat Gypsy weddings. So I took off for a lap of olivers mount instead.
