Description

Grand Prix Judge Kristen Closson inspired this topic, from her month working with the riders in the Performance Riders Gold Program. Brett Parbery and Nat Foxon discuss what connection really is, how riders are often confused and chasing the wrong feeling, and homework we can all do to improve our feel.
