It say's it's $25.00? Where is the "free" download? Would love to read too. Not for $25.00 though. LOL

Never mind...the download IS free. I guess it's $25.00 for the book. Off to do some reading.

Thanks so much for the link!!

THANKS for the link.
After a quick look, am I seeing that it is not necessary to do a mustang roll?

Last time that topic was discussed, it went sideways in a hurry. Admittedly, I was partially to blame. I spoke against the giant "M"-roll. I could amost take solace in the findings, or assumtions rather, made by Brian and Chris, had it not been for so many assumptions made by Brian and Chris, guised as scientific fact.

Heavy Sigh. . .

Big roll messes with the plexus sequencing and can lead to solar bruising and soreness.

So could someone explain the difference between a "big roll" and a bevel?

If too much dorsal wall is removed, there is no resistance to move blood from the lamellae plexus back to the solar plexus. This means reduced nourishment to the sole and less hemodynamic cushioning with the next stride.

That is a theory, but I'm not sure I agree with it.

Sorry, that was a bit rushed, hence a bit blunt, even rude.

Maybe a more thorough explanation would be more enlightening.
