Re: [ST] for Marc -



I have definitely seen this in pro racing.  The bike starts to tuck in a turn, and they save it with their knee on the ground.  Freddy Spencer (2 or 3 time World Champ) has pointed this out during some AMA races.  Once they even put it in slow motion.  At full lean, the traction starts to give, the racer with his knee already on the ground I assume exerts to hold up the bike, traction is regained, and the racer continues on (with assumed dirty underwear - but maybe not for the pro's).

You're gonna have to explain a bit more. You mean if one skids
the front wheel (tucking in?), a force with your knee (force
against what?) can regain traction? Sounds like a "track legend"
to me, but perhaps you can give some more details?
