Good results once again, for the 8th November Knee Down Course. Four bikers turned out on a damp, cold November day to lose their knee down virginity. Despite a damp track, all four riders touched-down, and rapidly gained confidence, ending the afternoon as if they had been doing it all their life. An enjoyable day for all involved. One rider explained that he had always had trouble with left hand corners, and now he feels confident sliding his knee on left-handers.
Kneedown School is not just about getting your knee down. It improves confidence in riders, teaches them about the handling capabilities of modern bike typres and results in faster, safer, more confident cornering.
