after talking about doing it for a few months i decided i was gonna learn to drag knee. now im getting close but not touching cuz i dont have pucks. i dont wanna drop $300 on pants so i asked around. someone told me there are ones that strap to your legs kinda like skateing knee pads. is this true and are there alternatives to expensive pants??

thanks

^ lol until the shatter.

 

if you are dragging knees (or just pushing it that hard) YOU WANT THE LEATHER TOO!!

Try looking on place like ironpony.con n newenough.com. Newenough had Teknic Chicane leather pants on clearance for $139. And there are plenty of others for sub $200. But if you dont want to dish out for the gear, for gods sake dont be pushing.

 

One of my buddies who went on to race ama...when he was younger and just starting out he strapped pop cans to his knees and was dragging with them....

Now thats hilarious but I guess it was all in his progression to the AMA big show!! LOL!

 

New Enough has the Teknic 2pc chicane suit for $275 right now... check my previous posts today.

Can't beat that for price - or if you can - tell me and I'll buy a few!

 

troll, gotta be.

you cant be serious

 

Wow, I wish I had the extramoney right now. Too bad they don't have black/black or black/red

Here is the link to the suit he was talking about <click here>

 

First, dragging a knee is not something you should aspire to. If you're on the track and you're riding fast, it will eventually happen. It should be a bit of a surprise when it first does. If you're having to work at it, it shouldn't be happening. And once it does happen, it's just a handy gauge of lean angle. The dragger just skims the surface (unless you're going down), so you want something low-friction with good wear characteristics.

I agree with the previous poster who said, if you need draggers, you need leather (and armor). And I'll add: You really don't want to be doing this on public roads. It's really, really dumb. Eventually, it'll catch up with you. (Plus, it's a LOT more fun on a track!)
