Man gets knee down in accomplished feeling shocker
 
Is the top story in Conrad Hughes' world today.

The twenty-year old from Canterbury, Kent, took a trip to the Manston Loop today to hone up on his roundabout skills as per last month's bike magazine. In doing so he eventually felt the hard plastic of his right Arlen Ness slider passionately kiss the tarmac. He also improved his trail braking skills by gently applying the front brake at increasing lean angles.

The left knee slider was unavailable for comment.

I had manflu yesterday; today is my proper day off and I'm feeling much better :P I did try to get the left down but there's no real bends where you can keep practicing the same corner around here.
