Top video WW, I thought you just walked with that cool swagger at all times but it must just be the slowmo!

I tried this today during a light roll in between some of the frankston rollers, canadian and two bays etc. And it did give some releaf to my old tired legs.

Thanks Mark. I'm glad people appreciate how much time goes into these short video clips. They're certainly fun to do though!

I know how much work went into that video. Nice job, nice pins – torn to pieces.

Arrrrr, avast ye maties, but I smell the stench of a conspiracy.

I detect the imprint of super slow mo just to show off your excessively bulge-tastic leg cannons.

It’s a wicked conspiracy, I’ll warrant ye.

The IF certainly looks impressive in the flesh. Should get your sponsor(s) to pony up for some banners from officeworks, put them in the background. As per previous comment, there is a market for these videos. I'd also suggest watermarking the top right. Are those red decals on the 1.25s?

Homo-erotic. It's right up there with Simple Sime's Italy vid. There is definitely a market you should target with these.

Kick a ball at the top of the stroke and scrape sh1t off your shoe at the bottom. Kick scrape kick scrape …

Good vid!

I like to think of beginning to push down (really through and down) at about 10 o'clock – or well before the top of the stroke. But really what I feel I'm doing is getting “the heel down to go round”.

Track Sprinters do ankle, it's just less pronounced. At 150+ rpm you need to scrape back or you bounce on the saddle!

Last time I heard that dance track it was on a buck's night a couple weeks ago and ankling meant something totally different else.

Didn't catch the earlier posts about ankling but it describes what I discovered naturally. I focus on bring my knees up higher on the upstroke to make it happen, the opposite down and back stroke happens naturally. Don't know if that's the right way to do it but it feels right. Only trouble is with my fit, I can actually bang my knees into my chest a little if I'm tucked in on the drops.

CT, great tip. But you need a new music director.
