A&G Leather Knee Sliders
Over the weekend I finally got a chance to break-in my new Asphalt & Gas leather knee pucks. I like these badboys!

A much smoother feel as you glide around the corners - quieter, less "violent" feeling compared to the hard Teknic pucks I'd been using.

It will be interesting to see how long they last compared to the others as well. Anybody know how much longer or shorter their life is by comparison?

Re: A&G Leather Knee Sliders
I tried mine out at Blackhawk last month. Haven't decided yet if I like them more or less than plastic ones.

You have to be able to drag a knee first dumbass.

Does sliding across the carpet, doing my best impression of Sammy Hagar count?

Re: A&G Leather Knee Sliders
Roadracingworld did a comparison article regarding sliders recently.. I checked all the bathrooms, but I can't find it.

If I remember corrrectly, none of them were up to the mightly riding stylings of Chris Ulrich, who took 25% of the thickness off of them in 4 laps at Willow.

I think the A&G scored high for feel, less so for longevity.
