    @ sajiv- Btw you got some nice cornering pics there. Looking at your lean angle, it seems you were carrying good speed through the corners.

    I too have the book. Its an excellent one. I loved the ways "target fixation" is explanied and it helps a lot.

    But more skill is required to scrap the footpegs rather the knees.. and more is required to do in the above pic!

    See things,Click your own snaps,or get them clicked,take some one along,and try to shift the body wieght along with the hip movement when you take a curve,leaning with your knee out,,gives you confidence to lean at good speed and take the curve
    in a continuous flow!!
    i agree with LP on this, photos helps a lot..!! even before my click, i didnt knew where do i stand.. but after those shots, now i know where do i go till & how much more i need to bend & which parts to improve on..

    the photo is killer man.! elbow touched.. awesome..!
