Stoppies were cool. It's a skill I've been applying on the road and it's great. I mean hard braking, not lifting the rear wheel! Not as paranoid of locking the front now

Same...I now only use 2 fingers for braking, where as before I used 3 or 4. Sounds silly, but I never knew to use only 2...the brake levers are massive so figured use all of it!

Funny, i've always used 2..and not the 1st and 2nd either but the 2nd and 3rd mainly. Comes form riding bicyles for years i guess and that was the way i found it most natural.

Photos of us on track Niz. Quite a few goods one of you. Not so much of me!

EDIT: Think they were done on the damp session by the looks.
