    Anyone else obsessed with getting ya knee down? or is it just for show?

    So after the ride on Sunday with DMNTD:Me and others, he gave me some good tips and ive been obsessed with trying to sus out my lines and get my knee down. SO keen for the next track day so i can learn some more.

    Anyone else like that? what roads in auckland are good to safely practice on? ive been hooning around the waitakeres but the roads are a bit bumpy

    If you want to practice getting your knee down at roundabouts, do it in private on a weekend somewhere traffic-free.

    Just find a big round about. Do it the cheating stupid looking way by sliding your knee forward as far as possible towards the front wheel.

    You are going to need some cool Wiz Sparky sliders so your mates behind know you got it down!
