First time on rollers
I remember my first time riding rollers. I finally got the nerve to get going and clip in both pedals. I was going well for a bit then decided to lift one arm off the handlebars. My front wheel promptly slipped out from underneath and a spoke snapped off the side of the front drum. Now it is no big deal to get on the rollers though I do like to have a chair nearby for my foot to touch. Youtube has a surprising number of videos featuring people riding rollers for the first time. I can’t really laugh at these folks since they are getting into the sport and will probably master the technique soon enough.
My question is, why are these people videotaping themselves?
First time on rollers with the help of a dolly. Reminds me of my first time on rollers. This guy clearly needs to look at his positioning he is all over the place.

And finally, super expert roller riding man. No arms, one leg, sheesh.
