knee down all day, do your legs get tired?

[SkyRider]

do squats like a mofo.

knee sliders are more 'feelers' than 'pushers'.

fanning out your knees use different muscles than squats tho lol

Duck feet leg press. Obviously position your feet outwards like a duck on the leg press and do medium weight, with a bunch of reps. This will help target inside the quads which you use when extending the knee.

Well you seem to be doing it wrong if you're putting weight on your knee.

Not that I'm an expert in body position but I find squatting exercises eliminate all soreness in my legs that I used to get after a track day.

so do y'all feel any strong resistance at all when you put knee down? for me obviously a lot since i push down moderately hard lol.

how often do you replace knee pucks? im now on my fifth set in just 2 seasons, errrrr

Try to see if you can go just as fast without the knee down.Sounds to me like you are a bit obsessed with the friction of your knee on the ground.It's just a gauge of how far over you are.Maybe try getting the bike more upright with a bigger contact patch and more throttle.Just a thought.

The fatigue does not come from actually putting your knee against the pavement, you shouldn't be pushing that hard either. It comes from supporting 100% of your weight on your inside leg through a corner. The only time you really need to push in that hard is if you're mid-lowside and are trying to save it. In 1.5 season I have not only gone through half a set of knee sliders. It's not a support member for me, its a feeler guage. Touch and lift, touch and lift, touch and lift.

Squats would help. So would riding a bicycle.

Agreed. You'll get the same 'feel of soreness' from a hardcore sets of squats after the winter as you would after your first trackday.
