I have noticed something funny while watching riding videos on the rollers. Unsteady camera work, i.e. GoPro on a mountain biker causes me to wander on the rollers! I noticed this a couple of years ago watching someone's wobbly video of climbing a European Col. I thought it funny until yersterday's Sufferfest session which had some mountain biking. There must be others who have noticed !

Me too! I rode right off the rollers while watching the snowboarding at the olympics the other day.

These are two channels that I watch while I ride on the trainer. Opted for a hybrid roller setup because I could see bad things happening on regular rollers, and a regular trainer like a CycleOps felt really weird. Best of both worlds now.

A workout video of riding downhill?

Downhill, uphill, gotta change it up. Yesterday I watched Stage 2 of Dubai 2018. Sometimes I will do intervals with the CTXC guys in Australia. Not every ride has to be a workout. Get on the bike and start pedaling and just enjoy the scenery of some of those videos.

Cool, but I can't coast for very long on the rollers.

I can't coast at all on mine. You pedal. What is so hard about this? There always has to be that one person, that one whiner and complainer.

Yeah, I have had that weird image also. I thought about even wearing my helmet on the rollers haha

I can see something like that happening to me - swerving to avoid something in the screen.... But, I can't be bothered to re-arrange the furniture so I can watch anything while on the rollers. Lazy? Maybe. But I do enjoy actually listening to music while on the rollers - albums that I might otherwise get distracted away from.

Got a laptop? My workout space is grim but on the rollers watching Sufferfest videos places like the Col di Nivolet I don't care.

Yeah, I have a laptop, but no way would I want to be peering at it while on the rollers.... I really dislike looking at monitors/TV screens, which is why I project TV and movies on the living room wall.

I had been riding rollers watching Netflix, TV, etc. for a while before trying Zwift. The first couple times I tried Zwift I had to concentrate on not turning my wheel on some of the tight turns and switchbacks. Sure enough, first time I rode up Box Hill I rode off the rollers. Thankfully, I had a chair within arms reach to catch myself.

Glad to know it's not just me!

Same here. New at rollers and Zwift gets me off track sometimes. It's also laggy on my iMac.
