Made it to first base

Cindy was out at an event last night so I had an open evening to do whatever came to mind.  Of course the first thing that popped into my head was to get my fourth day of serious practice of reverse EUC riding in.  The session started out kind of rocky with me struggling to get to the distance mark I set on Tuesday night for quite awhile.  I then made a subtle adjustment, supporting the wheel more with my calves to help stability as well as leaning back more to keep my speed up.  By the time I was done I had obliterated my previous best of 37 feet, rolling 90 feet without stepping off.  To be honest, on that 90 foot roll I intentionally stopped myself because I was approaching the garage so I might have been able to go further.

I was very encouraged by my progress.  I think I am at the point where I should be heading to the school parking lot to increase my reverse practice real estate.  I still have a TON of work to do but considering a week ago I couldn’t roll 5 feet without falling off, things are looking up.

This weekend has no formal schedule although we might take in a Tarpons game tonight.
