I really thought I might get one yesterday despite the crazy wind...but I'm still trying for that first time. I'm not stopping until it's mine
I am so excited for me and Mark to start doing this trick, I know it's been a long road for us both...

my son takes judo, and his instructor told me to get Boxer Wraps. stiffens the wrist and fits in my gloves. i went ahead and ordered some bars with twice the sweep(6 both ways) as my sequence(3 both ways). hopefully with both, i'll be good.
in my old age i think i'm getting bad joints, though i take glucosemine and fish oil. gotta move forward.
you 2 on the other hand are kicking major butt with your progression.

hopefully the increased sweep and the wraps will get you back up to spec- awhile back when I rode zero sweep, my wrists also got super sore and held me back, since then I've always had at least 6 degrees backsweep. it seems to help, but also the tricks one does play a big role in that as well-some tricks put more stress on the wrists than others.
well...two weeks into the challenge now, times like today I was able to link the hiker to the crackpacker many times, but the rideout is not there. it's been years since I wanted a trick so bad, so Mark, I really thank you for putting that goal out there. When I reach it, I just know it's going to be euphoric. lol
