    A picture is worth a thousand words. Looking at the US129 pictures from Barber shows EXACTLY the correct & incorrect cornering techniques.

    Rookies are hardly leaning while STT coaches are dragging their knees in perfect form.

    I had asked my coach (#17) to observe my riding and tell me what I was doing wrong. In photo# 1093 (6/27) he is right on my tail...no wonder he could tell me exactly what to do. By the end of the day I was dragging both knees in semi-good form.

    Coaches....you are worth a million...thanks!

    I actually drag my knees less the faster I get.

    Well done! I only drag both knees when I'm crashing:lmao:

    Glad you made progress and enjoyed the day.

    Once I started dragging my knee it was a mission! now I'm like... Damn it, my knee pucks gotta last! I'm trying to find that perfect balance... but need new knee pucks before Grattan in a couple weeks!
