Re: Knee sliders .. whats the point ?

you want some knee down track time? get to Three Sisters in Wigan. If you cant get a knee on the ground there then you really arent trying, its impossible to avoid.

They stopped my kneecap from being damaged when I highsided for a start.

Just to prove kneedown does not equal fast, the state of my slider after a day propping up the back of the novice group at Silverstone

+1 for that. Testing there Friday and racing Sunday. If you can't get your knee down especially around lunar corner its time to give up!

I don't try on proper run outs to be honest although it happens occasionally. I do head over to Skelmersdale every now and then to surf their multiple roundabouts and traffic islands though, it's fun :D

Kneedown but terrible body position. You're very crossed up.

I don't think so.

I have found getting knee down in about being comfortable when leaning off

I have got photos of me doing knee-down and my chest is pretty close to the tank. I have tried moving my upper body away from the bike, but, it doesn't feel comfortable.

Watch any BSB race and there is more than one way to lean off a bike
