No handed kneedown, is it possible?
 
So is a no handed knee down possible?

By this I mean getting the bike into a corner, knee down, one hand off the bars, then two hands off the bars for a period before reholding the bars to exit?

I'm not interested in people falling off with kneedown ;) that's too easy!

Just curious......

Wouldn't have a clue if it's possible and have no interest in trying to find out :)

Good luck if you do.

Rob.

I can't do a knee down let alone contemplating a none handed knee down LOL

If you master it make sure you video it ;)

It depends on the bike I think. Most normal road bikes will straighten up by themselves if you take hands off, thanks to steering mass distribution and trail they steer in the direction of lean, so I don't think you could do it for long, if at all.

The stunt guys that do it in tiny circles are on the lock stops. Maybe if you had some super aggressive steering little race bike you could do it.
