I think Dustin is on to something. He is normally a mistake a corner kind of guy totally over riding his bike every chance he gets. He's like 245lbs of solid muscle so why not try an kill your bike. He likes to pick his bike up off the ground alot, or so I thought. Dustin threw on this weight to see what effect it would have on the bike and it was imediately noticable to not only to him but to me. Almost instantly the mistakes he was normally making over and over again we suddenly gone. He started riding much smoother and longer making less than 1/4 of the mistakes he was making before. I haven't gotten a chance to try one yet but I am really curious. I think this added weight would fit my riding style very well. I like to be as smooth as possible on the bikes. My idea of riding the correct way is to #1 Don't crash! #2 Carry your momentum. Obviously this weight had a very positive affect on Dustins riding. I want to try one!
