Tip/Quote of the Day # 287
It can be really helpful to get someone to regularly video you while you are riding, so you can actually see what you are doing right or wrong. Sometimes it can be even more beneficial than having someone on the ground. As when you can really see the problem yourself, you will be even more determined to fix it.
