Guess I don't wear enough makeup.
I'm going to try leading with my upper body though. I think that would help!

I agree.

You should be looking straight over your mirror. I can tell when I'm getting there- all I can see is my chinbar in the mirror. Usually puts the outside of the tank in the crook of my elbow. Since my legs are so damn long, I can't wedge the seat into the back of my knee like shorter guys do.

One of the NESBA CRs told me to grab the inside bar/barend like a pencil to force the elbow into the right position. It's supposed to make moving you shoulders down and into the turn easier. Basically, move you palm out and everything else will follow.

Also, don't forget the "shuffle" heel back and in- squeezed against the heel guard on your rearsets, end of the peg gripped between your toes.
