Hi all.
Stupid question from someone who hasnt dragged a knee... how much weight do you put on your inside knee while cornering? Is it just enough to let your knee drag or is it enough weight that you are actually putting pressure onto the knee?
Just curious, I'd like to know how the knee actually helps through a corner.

The puck is a "feeler," you shouldn't have any weight on it. Assuming you're using a consistent body position, sliding the puck will help you gauge your lean angle. The only time to weight the puck is when you're trying to prevent a low-side.

I can't wait to do that --- Good question.

Just focus on being smooth and relaxed. In time, you will become much faster and ultimately you'll touch-down.

Cool. I'm close now. I just have to remember NOT to drag while I don't have my pucks! :yikes:

I'll only do it once thought right? :)
I got pretty low on one of my recent rides -- I think, I'll start shopping for some pants with pucks after the holidays. :dthumb:
