If you set yourself right in the beginning you will then be able to increase your speed in the second and final pull. This will give you balance and much better distances.
OK, that's good. I'll remember that. Wait to start the spin and start out slow.

I'm trying to think about GUIDING the weight and accelerating it, not pushing it around. I'm also thinking hard about keeping my own weight centered.

I'm only doing one spin. If I can pull that off and stay balanced, I'll be jazzed.
