Knee down time

No Worries · 01-31-2009, 12:42 AM

The only time I put a knee down is to check my tire pressure. My knees hug the tank all the time. I only move my upper body on curves. For me, it's much more efficient. Especially with the millions of curves in Colorado. Ha, two digs in one post.

so does it count if your knee goes down with the bike, if so my knee has been down a few times.

That would be me. I dont feel a need to do it on the street, altho theres a very few roads here I could do it on, I just think its safe or wise.

On the track, well, once I finally did it, my sole goal was to do it as much as often till I destroyed my pucks. After doing this, and rubbing some leather off as well, nto to mention my leg saving my ass from sliding out, Im out of the " I CAN DRAG KNEE" stage and if it happens, it happens, I wont be trying to do it, not that I really did before tho.
