Lesson 2:
Looks good ruth, but skids has prob got fixed pegs rather than them that fold up. If fixed pegs lean over all the way to the floor then it'll start to lift the wheels off the deck! So raise them higher up the bike and you get more lean before they touch down.

As for getting your knee down.... a lot of people would ask why you want to. IGNORE THEM - IT'S JUST COOL!!!! It's all about body position, you don't even have to be going very quick. hang off the bike and lean slightly forward along the side of the tank, stick your knee out and it'll touch down. Best to be practicing on a nice long corner like the one at Mallory park for example, then you can play with body position until it works.

Have fun at Snett...
