I used to get torn apart for my airplane wings, so I am happy to see such an admired rider sporting the same flaw, if you even want to call it that anymore. ;)<br /><br />I had to throw convention to the wind when my teacher started correcting my "traditional" position.

I had to relearn to bring it forward under myself. Maybe if we were winning gold medals others would notice!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-58094559945817488192012-06-12T12:01:14.425-07:002012-06-12T12:01:14.425-07:00Here here!

Can't wait to see how you and Winston come together when you start focusing that direction. Keep us posted!MTWagginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823827748782425907noreply@blogger.com
