It only looks good when doing it properly on the track.

There are videos of people on youtube practicing in parking lots - their form is horrible. Draggin' a knee is all about cornering speed, not looking cool on the streets. The track or a little used turn on a decent road in the country. Road conditions are factors to proper form, but then again I'm all about proper form and speed. If you just want to drag a knee while hanging off the side of the bike, a parking lot will do, but look around for patches of loose gravel first.

I just got through TotW II - decent info., but lacked precise details on body postitioning and form - still trying to digest the "Pivot Point" turning and utilizing the outside points.

Have not picked up TotW I after reading some reviews of the two books - should I get it, and does it cover any topics not in II?
