How low can you go? 6/20/2007

2 more inches and he’ll need an elbow slider. And if anyone is wondering, yes, it is entirely possible to slide your elbow through certain corners.

One testicle on the tarmac! That’s an awesome picture!
Can’t remember, but it was a Japanese rider racing in Superbikes in the nineties, who was the first person I saw that needed elbow sliders. There was a great picture of him with knee and elbow down on the apex - absolutely fricking wild!

Cool!!! Btw… anyone know wot happened to Garry McCoy? Was blow away the first time I saw him powersliding his way around the track several years ago when he was still in the GPs…

cmos : Gerry McCoy was last riding for Ilmor, IIRC. In the early part of this decade, he was tipped to be the coming thing, but sadly, a couple of crashes stopped his championship run, and he never regained his form.

thesnark : Aisk… pity. Really enjoyed his gung-ho attitude…
