This may come as a surprise, but I have NOT...but..

just because you drag a knee, doesnt always mean you are fast, i'm not slow, i ride with a bunch that do drag knee, but i've passed MANY on the inside while they were draggin and i wasn't

i also have not. Our roads and my skills are not quite up to rubbing off that last centemeter of rubber

every time my knee has touched the pavement it has quickly been followed by my elbow, shoulder and head.

I'll get it right one of these days.

Not even close.

Never on the street and don't plan to.

Tmall · 04-04-2009, 04:14 PM

I've never done it.

Same.

Maybe in a parkin lot, but I don't ever plan on dragging on public roads. FAR too many variables, far too much risk involved, even for the most talented & experienced of riders.

If you're on a knee there's virtually no possible way that you can avoid an unexpected hazzard that's in your immediate path while keeping it on two wheels & on the road.

That's a risk I'm personally not willing to take.

But put me on a track with other experienced racers & I'll have my knee on the ground with bikes just inches away on either side of me.

OK I about lost it when I just read this !!

I have not touched a knee and probably won't ever on the street.

I don't ride like grandma but I certainly don't ride like Valentino either.

I'm more of a driver (cager) than a rider to be honest...but do love to ride.

I drug my toe on the blast a fair bit. Pegs were low as fuck and that thing was flickable beyond all belief.
