Re: Knee sliders .. whats the point ?
Quote:
Leaning off vs. any sort of cornering... no difference. If it is then you obviously need some practice. Go find some S bends and practice going through them hanging off one side then t'other. Useful and bloody good fun Thing you should be doing is not making full commitment to corners unless you can see for certain that you're not going to NEED to make any massive flicks in direction unless you can see the upcoming next bend and plan accordingly. No point getting hung up on niggle of technique which is 1% of difference... when actually observation and plan formed as result of that makes up other 99%...

There is a lovely stretch on the SDR in Newport that is left, right, left all very fast and if done right can get knee down on all three. I just think for most who don't get much practise the point should be driven home of "only do when it is safe," you know? |

Re: Knee sliders .. whats the point ?
Aye. Don't make the (rather witless) mistake of putting yourself in a stupid unrecoverable situation just by attempting to achieve enough lean to touch knee to tarmac!

Re: Knee sliders .. whats the point ?
These days on a mild lean I find my belly touches the tarmac before my knee anyway
