I went on an endurance race on the weekend on the new superbucket :scooter: , and I found I was getting a few leg cramps, quite sore, especialluy from sticking my knee out all the time when getting a knee down.

The new bucket is quite small, with the seat very close to the foot pegs, it's fine on short races but on long ones it is very bad.

Is there any stretches etc that I can do to help? Any hints would be great, cheers:yes:

dunno about stretches
but generally, salt tablets help me
magnesium also helps
ask your local pharmacy

Yeah, previous person said about magnesium. You can get it in a pump bottle from the pharmacy and you spray it under your tounge and the cramp goes away.
I was riding in an enduro and a chap had a bottle and i was well impressed at how fast it worked.
Getting it in a plastic bottle so you can carry it on your bike seems to be the only issue.

From your profile photo it looks like your leathers dont have stretchy fabric behind the knees, if it is leather get fabric sewn into it. i had this problem with my first set of leathers. (also get the inside of your elbows done)

Less posing will sort that out, you dont need to waste your time having a knee down on the bucket at Teretonga
