[xulasx]

looks like u did it :)

[Lookout4the3rdrail]

Nice ; )  !!!

[destroyerbmx]

its actually easy to keep it down, the first time it will feel weird and you want to get up, just fight that feeling and you can pull a long drag off like that.

[VVeAreOne]

nice job ;)

[123kionj]

wow if that ur first knee down that was pretty well done u had it down the whiole corner and didnt go wide as the corner got sharper.

[alec4yu]

damn. thats a sick corner

nice man.

[madpistol]

Nice one! Great corner too.

[ZZR1400GREY]

Nice try, seems like you made it!

[geati6783]

always remember...the ground needs to hit your knee, not revers... :)

[hirirsi]

[Morenito21]

Very good shit sir =D

[JonezyD]

nice keep practicing.

[eamoto]

just a suggestion so we don't see a second video of the camerawoman becoming paralyzed.. have her get off up off the slide out. If you lowside you're going to take both her legs off dude.. just my .02

[michaelrockstar01]

agreed

[aimhelix]

Nice work, but be careful! Do this on a track, the street can throw you so much shit like you cannot imagine. Keep it on tracks.. and you'll be doing this the whole day and then push it some more.

[fez4]

Nice riding but Gay music

[SlyEmy]

Thank you for the riding, do you have something against gays ? :-D

[Maksimka8]

@SlyEmy Think about it; gays are fagots.

[armyabn]

@SlyEmy Yea..I do. They're queers.

[GreenMoviePlanet]

@SlyEmy

Yeah fags are pedophiles. Plus they are annoying as fuck

[Hotsauce172]

@fez4 i agree

[kuxika2]

way to go sticking to your line on that last attempt, whats the name of the song?

[SlyEmy]

The song : Robbie Williams - Supreme (french version)

[armyabn]

@SlyEmy French are queers.

[mattybarwell]

mr i know everything about bikes

[REDO5R1]

Stick to the track when you do that stuff get the tyres up to temp and then ya laughing because its a bit to dodgy on the street but good work dude do some track days you will love it.

[Scotx2]

lik a pro haha good job :)

[superpern]

Good job man!!!

[Pennyandtonysottile]

Practice Makes Perfect

[mhks68]

practice makes better....not perfect

[damonpopovics]

Congrats!

[ImC00LyourNOT]

hey i own or know shit about street bikes just cars but i have been watching street bikes and i know this is a noob question but what is the purpose for knee dragging? just to take corners quicker? does it fuck up your knee?

[rambro]

Doesn't fuk up ur knee coz you have knee sliders on (plastic pieces on ur knee, velcroed to leathers).

To steer a bike its all about leaning...the further you lean, the more u turn...the knee not only looks cool but adds a 3rd contact point to the road...

[xXxvirusmakerxXx]

how do you drag knee?my cousin just got a new bike and he cant get back up so he wiped out

[SlyEmy]

- you must have enough speed (for this corner my speed is about 90-100 km/h)

- the road must be clean ;-)

- you must move on the side of the bike

- put your knee a little bit away from the bike

- turn :-D

The best place where you can learn that is on the track, after some laps your knee will touch the ground very easily. \o/

[awsomeclips12]

how do you get back up :S

[SlyEmy]

When you stop pushing on the handlebar and on the peg (left to turn left) the bike tends to get up alone, you just have to let it do.

(I'm not at ease with English, I'm French :-D)

[turbineaddict3]

lol.. it took me a while 2 learn how 2 ride and i asked the same questions...some of them were even dumber!

[kingcr4b]

i am working on getting my WERA license so i can go to Jennings GP and go the Barber's. I love to drag my knee oh and your gixxer is sick for a 2001! all the gixxers that old i've seen are all trashed and look like crap.

[jeenyus720]

thats so fuckin sick.. one month today till i get my gixxer :)

[syncmaster2525]

very good

[Meerq0]

AWSOME

[MXnonnay]

is this a gsxr600 or 750?

[SlyEmy]

It was a 600, year 2001, but now it's broken :,-((

[TommyChapman]

Damn thats too bad, its a really nice bike. What happend?

[SlyEmy]

My tears slipped on oil in a corner :-(

Some pics by searching "expedition recuperation moto" in google, website slyemy (first entry)

[sonnyschaos]

not bad now right turn drag

[SlyEmy]

A missed right turn on track, search "Missed turn with my gsxr" on Youtube :-DD

[halo2pc]

yeah baby

[exracer250]

good video

[SlyEmy]

thx :-)

[jaredman2393]

i know nothing about knee touching the ground when you turn on a sprotbike. i see it all the time on television when the professionals do it. I was wondering if your knee actually touches the ground and does it hurt you or is there something protecting your knees besides the racing pants. someone who has done this before or knows about please respond i am very curious thanks.

[largefallingicicles]

THere called sliders. A smooth pad really slick. They have them for elbows too. But You've gotta be a competitive closed circuit racer to need those!

[phutton88]

clovers can be great practice for right side corning as well. i like to mess around with clovers now and again, but i wouldnt really call it practice. i dont race or anything, but i wanna! lol

[TheSternMystic]

Dragging a knee is bad.

Your knee is an indicator, nothing else. It touches just before your muffle/pegs/sidestand. If those aren't touching, neither is your knee.

[SlyEmy]

It was just to try and to feel how it was to touch the road with the knee... but dragging knee can be very usfull. On track it has already saved me when my rear wheel started to slip. I was eable to avoid my bike laying down on the side by pushing on my knee.

[418NV]

Dragging knee is NOT bad. You should probably keep your riding "advice" to yourself as it sounds like you're the one needing the help.

[TheSternMystic]

If you don't have any advice or evidence that contradicts what I said, then eat shit.

[africansinclair]

you can put your knee on the ground with the bike still almost upright, suggest you get outside and ride your bike a bit more

[tuinm103]

well done, me and my uncle's in the netherland ride on racebikes on circuit assen for fun its not something u do 1ste time nice one grats

[emme125]

nice job how long did you trainee for it? i learned it in driving school with a 125ccm streetbike in a traffic circle

[SlyEmy]

Thank you, I trained it on the road :-P, I like roads with "small" corners

[Icantunderstandyou]

Well done!

[tjohn1986]

left side cornering is always easier

[SlyEmy]

Yes but I drag knee on right side cornering too now ;-)

[wakeslasher]

you are a tool

[armandbrach]

nice job!

[josh955iracer]

you did it, congrats

[aznkronic21]

nice form

[driftability]

I usually practice at the airport near my house. There are corners with fields surrounding them so if i fall i wont hit anything. Plus to make it safer i never take the inside lane just in case there is an oncoming car, i wouldn't want a head on.

[milfred01]

nice

[kogut173]

Good riding and nice camera work

[ElzBelz1]

lol

[DirtySanchez419]

That's a cool shot at the end. The boring colours cars, chased by that yellow machine. Nice job.

[gsxr605]

great job mate! keep on riding!!!! ;)

[apolloscam]

Congrats.

[08Street14]

great job and nice bike

[R1Fill]

Nice job, Great Vid

[beastinblack]

can i have yer spleen?

[bazrippa]

Nice vid man! I got my knee down for the first time yesterday and posted the vid today! Im so excited!!!!!!

[apr43]

picture perfect

[phacary]

yo thats the kinda bike i plan on getting in a few year(s) thats gotta be freaky tho..bu nice either way dude..props to u

[d522s2004]

nice!! what kind of tires are you usin?

[SlyEmy]

Hello, for this video I had Bridgestone BT012, now I use BT014. Pression was about 2 bar for the rear and 2,1 bar for the front.

[Ruselberger]

For driving on streets this pressure is ridiculously low and lowering to such pressures is of no good for the stability of your bike. One word of advice: Try at least 0.5bar on the front and the rear. Gives you better precision.

[SlyEmy]

Thanks for your advices. I use those pressures on the track and when I try to drag knee on the road. Fore riding on street I usually use 2,4, with more pressure my front tire has tendency to slip (two crashs avoided already...).

[destarabin]

Great job brother, i've been thinking of doing track, is it hard, i've never ridden a track before.

[SlyEmy]

Thank you brother :-)

No, it's not hard ;-), you can ride at the speed you want and you don't have to care about cars, etc.

[caillinsb]

welldone :)

[Boubala24]

very nice job. is that robbie williams singing in french?

[SlyEmy]

Thank you and yes it is :-)

[79052]
