Cheeky image of me back in my karting days. London Cup 2007. Came 3rd, was on Motors TV

The website name covers my tripod action annoyingly though!

So go on, what's the key to a good bit of tripod action. I've had the fester do it (or so I think, definitely felt like it) but the back end then proceeded to slide away from me...

Not really the Tripod'ing that you're talking about, but still on 3 wheels :rasp:.

Yeah TKM Extreme 115cc. Miss those days! That's the reason I bought the Clio, was a cheaper option than racing that still allowed me to get on track

Tightish bend in the road and approach with a bit of speed and turn in a little late and aggressive and boom. I could do it all day on a round about in my 182cup. You don't really feel it in the air but you feel the wheel landing back down when it's finished.
Also the dryer the better as it just turns into a slide if it's moist.
