    New Silvio On The Road

    Bruce, Sounds like a nice build, right up my alley! The key to launching straight is to counter with your off arm. In other words, if you launch with your right leg, you need to counter with your left arm. It's like a dance and it gets to be second nature straight away. The fun has just...

    Back to "normal"...
