Scaring the sliders
 

This must be the closest I have ever gotten to getting my knee down - my sliders must be getting scared!

TP - Scaring the sliders

Aptly put my Dickie on raceday "As fast as you're going you're still not getting your knee down are you"

Err thanks Dickie, like I needed reminding. A 50.8 lap around the Woodlands, heaps of 51 second laps and still no knee down!

:(

Wat you doing this sunday?:lol::lol::lol:

Get your **** off the seat and you soon will!!!!;)

It is! It's just a bit bigger than yours so there's plenty left over ;)

Edited to add - but you're right Tim, I need to get right off.

keep it like that, TP.... the extra knee-down friction will slow you down! :frog:

Purchase thicker sliders?

tony, i'll swap you my worn out sliders for your extra 4mph round the circuit anyday. it really isnt big or clever.

TP, if you don't get your bum off the seat, your in danger of doing what I did at rocky. My foot touched down first and got pulled offf the peg, followed by my leg, my ar$e, my body.:(

what can we see here
 

1/More corner speed
2/Knee being used as reference point
3/Foot rolled on too the end of the peg not on it
4/Toe is also feeling for the black stuff for more control
5/Right hand shoulder and hip is further forward driving in to the turn.

But he is big and clever?
:lol::lol::lol:

I know what you mean, I was scraping my boot and certain times around the Old Hairpin and Barn. I am getting off the seat just not enough, I need to work on that.

My body position was better in Spain I guess it kind of went out the window under race conditions - not enough of a habit yet.
