    DS has been working it for 2 months....He gets to to about 11 o'clock maybe even 12, but his center of gravity just is not over the bars enough to stay up. I think it is the wrist shift....he shifts it and sometimes his hand slips off over the bar ....his arms are nice and straight at least:p...
