    I've never gotten a set of street tires to do that at IMI. Holy shit.


    BTW - I'm a big fan of this picture:

    the fun part is getting all that extra rubber off your tires.
    fun little track

    It was still a pain to get all of it off, my bike was riding real squirly at first, till it started flinging off.

    I had a friend take the shots. Not bad for a noob. She swore my batteries were dead. Turns out she had the lens cap on the whole time. LOL!

    Wish I had a bigger zoom. I had to crop a bunch while editing.

    PshycoMike is right. There was a Kart race that day. I was picking up all the rubber they laid down. It was flinging some huge chunks later on. Had me worried for a while.

    Ah, okay. That makes sense.

    This is the worst my street tires have ever looked after a day at IMI...

    your footing is not bad. you just need to point your knee more. maybe try to tuck you heel into the bike more, should make your knee point outward.

    and damn they laid alot of rubber down.

    That just tells you that I'm not hanging far enough off the bike.

    The first time I had the extra rubber from my tires I thought my pressure was way to low. So i kept filling the tires. then I came around a turn hit the gas and had the back break the cart rubber off the tires and sent the bike into a nice slide. I proceded to pit and shake like a leaf for awhile
