Complete lack of strips on the street now means one of two (or maybe both) things to me:

1. Your body positioning sucks.

2. You ride harder on the street than is probably safe, which is your choice.
Well said. Anyone who thinks Chicken strips are a measure of how good a rider is, needs to learn how to ride themselves.

If you have no Chicken strips, it basically means you are using every little bit of traction the tire can give you.

Basically on the street that means you have no out. You have no more useable traction coming through a corner, if a panic situation was to occur.
