I’ve watched a million how to manual videos, and have to say this is the best because it pauses to describe what not to do. Most other ones talk about doing an L shape and all that, but if you’re doing it wrong you won’t know what to fix. And I practically ripped the arm out of my shoulder once trying to figure it out, and after seeing this the lightbulb has gone off. I’ve been stretching my legs completely out causing my torso to lean forward.... thank you Kyle!!!

I have been trying to manual for a while now, and I still can't get it. I think I have good form, and I know that I'm not pulling up with my arms. I was wondering if my frame shape has to do with it, since it is low and long, (30 LBS) and 26" wheels. I am also under 100 LBS so was wondering if that has to do with it. Thanks!
