knee,elbow or whatever down,makes no difference,they are gauges to let you know where you are with regard to lean.styles change,and there's 2 extremes there,jonny rea (exactly same style as crafar),old skool upright,and marquez,the progression.look at how rossi has changed his style over the years,bikes change,so for those boys,the way you ride the bike needs to change.
*for us mere mortals however,it's nothing but paddock bragging rights as will make little or no differerence,in fact usually makes you slower trying to force something,be it knee down or elbow,as it should happen naturally
Best we go back so you can have another go.1st time I managed a knee down it scared the shite out of me, picked the bike up and ran off track lol (was a lonnnnng time ago) Now it's more natural I look after my sliders ! I did try an elbow jobbie at Jerez at the left hander, T8? but didn't happen, blame it on old age and self preservation . :confusion:
