All very interesting points of view. As I suspected and as all of you are saying, there is no right or wrong way. I prefer the way I'm trying to do it even though its so hard and frustrating when it's not like perfect cross/cross off. I like many have said just like to park and ride so that the powe...

totally agree, having fun is what its all about of course or why would you do it? Suppose I'm thinking more in a competitive kind of way.

Wear a back brace etc etc etc. When will it end? Don't be a dick, stay at home. There's no fun in safety... fact! And by the way you all at...
