Just be sure to to look out for us proper non knee down riders passing you on the outside.

Thats actually a pretty usefull video there

Not what i was expecting : "Hang off like a monkey and lay the bike down as far as it will go - knee down is the epitemy of biking and is essential to look cool"...

He actually talked about how you dont need to be doing it all the time, and how even racers are merely touching every now and again, and that it is just a factor of riding and cornering correctly

Also the twisting thing is what im doing i think, so that has helped me a bit too

Usefull video . The last part is also very important where he speaks of other corners besides roundabouts. How just leaning your shoulders off the bike will make all the difference without even having to slide your bum off the seat.

aye MCN has been useful for once! i think i do the twisting thing, although i've never actually tried to get my knee down due to having textiles, just got leathers but they need to loosen up before i try and i wanna try now! damn it!

helpful vid!

[Misc]

How many diffrent styles are there then? Because i always thought the bike had to be leant over near the ground, obviously not.

Good video, will have to try.

I'm pretty sure I do the twisting thing as well, I always feel the bike can't be leant over any more than it is. Will have to put the shoulder leaning into practice

I'm sure G and others also have posted once or twice these exact tips. Although it was handy to see in pictures
