Re: spreader

when u start out, rest your heels onto the front of your cage and clutch them up, lean back onto your tail bone then spread. Once you get the idea down, u can start working on form and smoothness. They're really not too bad and fun.

take the plastic cover off smash the metal tank and use a heatgun to shape the plastic peice to the dent.

your high enough when you need to slip the clutch to avoid looping.
