Default Kneedrag for fun video

Heres a short vid I just uploaded of having fun in Albuquerque on the Sandia Crest Road --probably the best moto road in our whole state. It was fun to edit together a short 'surfing' video ..the english call it surfing and I always liked that expression.

Sweet roads. Not the best form but a good show-off style video; fun to watch. Please put some leathers on, though!

If you like English expressions, please look up "try hard"...

My my my, even putting the word FUN in the title does not stop the critics.
Its not a big deal but the level of hall-monitor-ism around just goofing off is sad.
I have track day videos too, and those are relatively more serious, but lets not bother with those ..I'm sure there is bound to be something that does not meet your grim standards.

BTW: knee dragging is/was very relaxing for me. I dont try at all. Its effortless.

Goofing off in blue jeans at high speed through street turns and promoting it to the average joe on this forum is not "fun", it is stupid. If you have awesome form and know how to use leathers why bother with this vid? I am not sure what you are trying to promote here...

If you want to mock the vid because it sets a bad example then I understand that.

In fact I understand that a lot better than being mocked as if I was somehow desperate to show I can get my knee down. Thats crazy. For me personally I always loved the way knee dragging felt. I dont like wheelies, but making knee contact with the asphalt was always a big turn on. But is it a bad example to others? Yes, it probably is. But I am not trying to promote anything.. its just a short music vid; its not a call to arms or an alternative lifestyle choice for gods sake. Its not heavy. Its light.

Dragging a knee isn't a goal, it's a side effect.
