Don't push him for the love of god. If he's not comfortable doing it don't force him to.

The best way to learn is to take a class. If you want to learn how to race and drag a knee, take a superbike class. I'm taking my second superbike class this November. It's about $700 bucks for the class, but you learn on their race bikes with their tires and their leathers.

Highly recommend that.

My reaction too

SLOW -- Slow to a suitable entry speed. Scrub off a decent amount of speed so you can either increase or maintain throttle throughout the curve

LOOK-- Look at your exit point.

PRESS-- Press on the handgrips. Called countersteering. Press right go right. Press left go left.

ROLL-- Roll on the throttle through the curve. This helps stabilizes your suspension. Never ever roll off the throttle or apply brakes in a turn. Bad Karma.

AND GOOD LUCK!

Hell, i didnt know there was anything technical about hanging off a bike and getting ur knee down. Nice vid tho, hanging off just feels natural to me around the fast corners.

look truth is, some people get there knees down, some don't. everyone rides in there own comfort zone. I went riding with a friend the other day that just got his license back after a 3 month suspension & $1200 fine. There he was riding like a man that had been told he had hours to live, destroying yet another pair of tyers (and the knees of his jeans, and generally having a great time. we all laughed when he told us how he was enjoying the ride & was just taking it easy, (cos in his mind he was). like all supprised that he had lost skin off his knee, nimrod was not even aware that he had/could get his knee down. If he consciously tried to do it, he'd probably fall off.
