vio Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Here's some pictures from my trackday at Jennings GP on 6/8/09. It was my first track day and it was a ball! I know that i need to get my inside foot tucked in more, I didn't realize i stuck it out so bad until i saw the pictures. I was scraping it a lot more than i thought I should be and now i know why Looking forward to seeing what advise you guys could give me regarding my body positioning.

Wurn Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Im sure its not a problem. Dude your form looks good to me man, did you get your knee down that day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vio Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Im sure its not a problem. Dude your form looks good to me man, did you get your knee down that day? My knee touched down pretty regularly throughout the day. I began to use it as my gauge as to whether or not i was doing the corner 'correctly'. I knew if i didn't touch my knee in some of the corners that I wasn't doing them as well as i had been consistently. Scared me the first time my knee hit the ground! it didn't feel as smooth as I thought it would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you'll probably yank your knee up like i did and think "what in the world was that!" Then you'll realize it was your knee and its supposed to be like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubbard_28 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 You nailed it on the head with the inside foot. Your boot was probably open toe by the end of the day. Consistency also. You've got to try to keep your body down more. Your BP is otherwise very good. You won't see many riders at a trackday with BP like that.

Lol it wasn't open toe but it definitely could use a new toe slider! Thanks for the feedback though, i really appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobie Fair Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Toe sliders, what a cool thing. With your knee touching down Vio, were you touching the ground gently, or a bit stiff with the inside leg? CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vio Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 It actually was pretty gently each time. It just seemed to skim the pavement throughout the turns. Felt great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early on, I hit hard a few times, leg was a wee stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
