Best spot to practice knee down?

[erix]

Can anyone suggest me a place in Auckland is great for practice riding skills, the knee down in particular?
Very keen on getting some proper scractches on the knee pad laterly


Thanks in advance.

Sorry if anyone talked about this before, Searched hours in the forum got no answer.

Right outside the hospital should do it...

Hampton Downs or Pukekohe.

Otherwise if you really must find a decent sized roundabout in an industrial estate after midnight but still don't be surprised if the cops come asking what you are doing.

OOO this will be good.

In front of your boyfriend?

OOO this will be good.

Indeed.

.... practice riding skills, the knee down in particular......

Using the word "skills" in the same sentence as "knee down" is an oxymoron. The skill is in smooth, tight cornering without getting the knee down.

Panmure roundabout, middle of a weekend day.

Thats how I used to roll

Auckland domain.

Any public road should do, my favourites are usually coarse chip seal, knee down around tar bleeds is the shit. Or around scooters, scare those poofters off the road.
Bogan has a point too.

Just ask Grantman...he was focused on "knee down" as well...and look how quickly he learnt!

...this IS gonna be interesting (Where the hell is Katman?)

OP...Seriously, read this thread!! http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...light=grantman

And I mean READ that thread(all of it!), then tell me if the risk is worth it....don't learn the hard way mate...save it for the track!, and just focus on safe and controlled riding on the road...and survival! (its hard enough to keep the other idiots from killing ya without trying to do it yourself!)

Ride safe

This thread looks like it has potential.

No it's not.

Getting your knee down (on the road) is a skill. Like bashing yourself in the face with a cricket bat is a skill, not a clever or useful one, but a skill nonetheless.

......and then walk for not less than 28 days?...

wow, thats a lot replies.
As I expected, some useful and some not. anyway, thanks for your input.
I think I should rephase this to "tell me the best spot to practice your skills through bents"

my current fav is Whitford rd and Kawakawa-Orere rd. But Whitford rd have always some "heavy" traffic, and Kawakawa-Orere rd is quiet wet sometime. and I know the coro-loop is quite fun, but sometime I just need few quickies rather than a long ride.

please let me know if you know somewhere like this famous Mulholland drive
