Tight

This seems a bit tight.

One can only imagine the bruise the next day.

There was a phot in MCN Sport last year, I think, of (again, I think) Steve
Plater rubbing against the wall there.

Said it was pretty similar to knee sliding and served a similar purpose,
just higher up the body... S

o I'd assume that thre's no bruises (unless you were to slap into the wall
at a steep angle) just like peeps don't end up with bruised knees.

 

That's the classic Macau photo, that is - seen quite a few of various
riders, fast and slow, with their shoulder against the wall like that.
