The guy that I did the trade with said "approach them with a attitude of a 20 year-old, you know like your never gonna die". He said that he had had rollers when he was in his 20's but now that he's in his 40's he wasnt' so sure he liked them so much. He bought them last year and said he's ridden them twice. I was kinda freaked out by that but after a few minutes it's no so hard. It's amazing how much easier it is when you don't focus on your front wheel. I did notice that I was 'dog tracking' about 5 degrees though, is that normal?
