i dont agree with you guys. Even stating the obvious can help some times. I think he should do a proper dvd of this, i found it very easy to listen to him and he is definitely a great rider to learn from. very smooth.

no offence but i dont think this is VOD worthy. sure it teaches us stuff, but a lot of other video's i've seen also do that. this isnt anything special imo. i even get how this video got VOD? the none of the comments say VOD except mine.
