Vale didnt invent the leg dangle

Taylor truly doesn't know why he does it, he's not sure if it's helping. He is just trying hard, so I'd say it's not on purpose.

 

There's an image floating around of Kevin Schwantz coming into the chicane at Donnington with an inside leg dangle. Circa '93, Lucky Strike Suzuki.

 

I think Rainey was merely repositioning his foot on the peg. Lots of guys do it that way.

 

I know why I did it, but it was only on corner exit not entry like he does.

 

Yhe original laeg dangle came from 25o riders pulling thier foot from under the shifter using a race pattern to reposition the foot back to where it was supposed to be.

 

If he is, he's a long way from the pits. I think that's Infineon, after you come up over that rise into the really slow right>left chicane

 

Looks like he just about got bucked off the bike.

 

Yep, comin over that crest.

 

I remember seeing Mamola like this a lot in the early eighties with his outside foot off the peg.

It's like Miguel being 38.
