Jon,
when you hang off, do you allow your body weight to shift onto your inside leg? for example, i noticed that you can hang off, or u can -really- hang off on the inside... i only tried the latter the first time this weekend, and although i still wasn't getting my knee down completely, it sure felt like i was almost there on some turns. but, it didn't feel as natural, cuz i normally don't shift my weight off the bike to that degree... and, without any kind of photo reference, i have no clue WTF i'm doing... hahahaha. frustrating beyond. but, i did notice the margin on the right side of my rear tire was closer to the edge more than ever before tho... but, that just makes me think, crap- i need to work on my left hand turns.
maybe i need to get a tripod and just set it up at a turn somewhere and just record myself so i can see what i'm doing... there are a few spots up in Azusa or ACH where it's possible to do this. but, with all the ppl up there, i'd worry about someone taking off with my camera... x_X
