Hmm, interesting, that post did have the paragraph breaks in. (Two Returns).I'll see if this ones does too.

I'm not sure, but it looks to me like you may be just a bit too heavy on the back foot. Maybe try stacking more on the front foot and see if that helps you twist more easily?

Oops! I hope you had a backup... 😮

There's currently an issue with Lifetime subscribers not seeing the Insiders' links.

Jeremy Dean posted about this in the other forums: See post 50768749

They've been trying to fix it over the weekend, but obviously it's not sorted yet... ☹️

Luke Hardacre did a good podcast on this:

Note: If you're a long term lifetime member, Jeremy Dean is working on a fix that should be in place over the weekend.

I've just found that I can switch off Dark Mode on my phone, however I can't find a setting for it when using Firefox on my Desktop PC.

Watch what they're doing and look at where the wave is drawing up, they might be finding the right spot (Bus Stop) which is what is actually helping them catch the wave and they may be wasting energy with the stress paddling, but they don't know differently 😀

The two most important things I've found are:1) Stacking on the front footYou should be in a comfortable Neutral Stance position where your bones, rather than your muscles are supporting you, so you feel like you could there stand all day without your legs getting tired.You want your hips forward and your elbows up to keep your back straight, your head up and shoulders back.2) The Coffee CupTo start with, keep it in front of you, then practice putting it down on the front of the ball, then lift it up like you're trying to put it on a high shelf. This will get you used to compressing and extending on your front leg.When you want to turn, imagine pouring the coffee out in the direction you want to go, but twist from the bottom up, ie your ankles, knees and hips rotate in sequence, then the shoulders and arms follow.Slow things down and it will get smoother.

Try dropping your hips when you get your front foot in place which should help you keep your head up and shoulders back.
