A Good Bit of Knee Draggin' Instructions

Knee Dragging is the ultimate expression of bike control and handling. If you can properly touch your knee to the pavement in a safe and proper manner you will be a better rider and have more fun.

As talked about in the video, it is all about body position. First and foremost, you must get your toes on the foot peg. You may have experienced scraping your foot on the pavement when riding "aggresively" and this is actually a good start. Now you can get your toe on the peg and have that much more space to lean!

The next basic step to body positioning is learning what to do with your body. They explain it in the video, which I must ad is a great addition to this discussion. You can see people who have never had their knee down, get their knee down! Anyway, getting back on track... you must learn to twist your body instead of bluntly leaning off the bike. Keep your head straight and pivot on the foot pegs, twisting your body foward while hanging your shoulders off the bike. You must hang your upper half of your body off of the bike! Trust your bike and your tires.

I'm tired of typing, watch the video, have fun... see ya'll next time.

Look for the next history of bikes hoopla, some body putty fun time, tour of the damn's if I ever get around to it, and whatever else I can conjure up.

Oh, yea by the way I learned how to embed youtube vids-- whoo hoo!
