cant say i've got my eblow down....well apart from falling off. Knee downs on the 400's were piss easy pritty much strate line jobs! the 750 once or twice hoppfully be abit easyer once i've sort out the suspention

the answer...for me...nowhere near as low as that.
there's a good thread on the pb mag forums about elbow down
http://www.pbmagforum.com/forum34/3283.html
how about butt down?

cool thread on PB forum, i got that poster of Guss Scott with his elbow down, and I also have that mag of Ronnie Smith on the ZX7
butt down i guess is the next step, but i doubt i could do it on a road bike

I doubt my Viffer would go elbow-down, but the ZXR400 would without much fuss!
Is that Walker going butt-down? Looks like he's seriously fkd that chicane up, that's why!

I've never put my knee down on the road and no idea how close my elbow would've bin to the floor on track.

i got a good question, would getting your elbow down be easier if your taller like RobB and harder if your shorter like me, my point beings the longer your arms then the more your elbow will stick out when your arm is bent holding the bars,

yeah id imagine it would be easier with longer arms, positioning is all important tho, it just doesnt help if your shorter.

so for fancy showing off stuff its better to be tall, if you want to go quick without scratching yourself along the ground and attatualy get behind the screen not just look like your on a minimoto its better to be shorter!
...guess witch one i am

Well I'm 5' 3" so officially 'A Midget'
Got the knee and toe sliders down so far. Think the elbow will come eventually.......they say you gotta fall off sometime!!

toes arent to hard really, i had my pegs down on a track day (on the 750) was quite happy with that
