Guys do really stupid things like videotape themselves trying out rollers for the first time. Because I love you all here is the link to my first roller experience:
http://www.vimeo.com/5705797

I am pretty sure Jen will never leave me home alone again.

Now to clear up a few questions you may have:
Q: Why are you only wearing bibs?
A: Because they make me feel sexy.

Q: Why are you wearing a helmet inside?
A: If you already watched the video you know why, if not then how did you know I was wearing a helmet?

Q: Did you just give up after the video ended?
A: Yes I went and cried myself to sleep. jk, I finally figured it out and got a great 30 minutes in. It is a heck of a workout.

LOL!  Dude, that was actually really impressive.  I was LOL'ing the whole time in anticipation of you flying out of view and into the Plasma hanging on the wall  HA! 

You ARE a bit freaky-deeky with the whole bib ensemble you have going on there, but you make it look at lot easier than it is   

GREAT JOB and a lot of fun watching that one!!

Cool! I guess there's no coasting on the rollers. Whenever you stopped pedaling fast you lost your balance. No zonking out like on the trainer. Great skill. Thanks for sharing!

I'm with Fitzy, nervous just watching. I kept expecting you to take out the little table behind you.

Dog was cute, sitting in the window like "When is Momma Bear coming home to stop this madness?"


One more thing: It was hard to explain to my boss why I'm watching a video of a dude in a bib and helmet. it was like gay epileptic porn.

Thanks for sharing....Great video!!

My husband tried his rollers one night while I was at work...He had his workbench on one side and decided to put a ladder on the other side to grab onto.  Well, when he came off the rollers the ladder fell over and chipped the paint on the top tube of my CasatiCry

Needless to say, he sticks to using doorframes for support when he uses the rollers now.

FUN!

I didn't video tape when I got mine last week but I think I did a little better.

You can see how a few semi square pedal strokes threw you off on the one attempt. Keep hopping on there and you will get better.

Note: I go for shirtless with regular shorts. LOL

When is Jen going to try them?

Poor Donut. He had to be wondering what the heck was going on. You were getting the hang of it towards the end. I thought you had great recovery skills. I would have just plopped over onto the couch.

Video Jen!

Now that I am getting better at it... the last time on them... I kept switching my hands around to different positions on the bars. I also almost grabbed a water bottle and took a drink.... didn't go too out of balance but didn't get a good drink in.

All this time and you've never been on rollers? Good first time!

Hint: Set them up in a doorway, much easier.
