hey kneedraggers

The only thing that dragging a knee actually does is give you an idea of your lean angle, as far as "saving it" with your knee, none of us are that good. I prefer to skim my pucks with very little weight on them (that's why I like hard compound pucks). I have tried putting a lot of pressure on my puck and it just feels weird. Now as far as slowing you down, I highly doubt that any of us are to the point where the resistence of a kneepuck dragging is going to slow us down.

i ran my first track day with out leathers or pucks, that sucked, but the first time/ run through the dragon i had touched down on both sides, kinda scary to think i was that close with just txtile pants on, sounds like someone else i know...

I'd love to, even have the leathers to do it. Problem is- even as far from civilization as I am- the roads are too densely populated. Too many driveways per mile.

Yeah, I am going to have full leathers before I am even close.

I don't have the "densely populated" prob you do... i have the "no corners" problem

all of the roads around my hometown are shitty and change surfaces in the middle of corners. and most have gravel. luckily in my college town they are pretty good.
