Honestly, I would stop worrying/trying to get rid of chicken strips or getting your knee down. It used to dictate the way I rode which was attack every corner, take no prisoners and it ended in a Hot Smokey Armco/Bike/Mr Speirs interaction. Still never got my knee down or rid of my chicken strips and I never used to hang about in corners either.

Some tyres are very very hard to get to the edge of, others are easier. Just enjoy riding but make sure you are at home at the end of the day.

BTW this time of year isn't the time to be attempting knee downs or edge of tyre antics. Not saying its impossible just not the time to learn.
