palm drag?
ive dragged knees, toes, (shoulders elbows back helmet while crashing), and i dragged a palm for the first time on sunday, was going around a left handed sweeper, stuck my hand out to drag my palm and hit my finger on the ground lol that **** kinda hurt. was only going around 75 or so maybe a lil faster. any of you guys do that? any of you here seriously drag an elbow(not the crashing kind)?

Bummer to the guy in the vid.[&:]
I drug my hand last season one one of our great mountain passes. I had on light weight leather street gloves. That **** does hurt the fingers! But it was awesome to get my hand down mid corner.

RE: palm drag?
i have done it a few times on this one good left hander. didn't really hurt, my fingers got hot but i only touched for a second.
first time I tried it i forgot to put my hand back on before exiting, scary feeling when you try to stand the bike up but your weight pulling on the right grip is still counter steering the other way. i didn't go off the track or anything, just messed up my line a bit and puckered up my butt for a sec.

RE: palm drag?
yeh, once i get some $ together i am gonna get some leathers and hit up the track.
are those track photographers pricy? I have seen some pretty rad pics from the track but i don't want to pay 10 bucks a photo, (a guy at the ski resort tried to charge me that, it was a good pic of me, but not that good)
dragging palm would make for a sweet picture.
