Ha yeah man, elbows. I have been working hard the past 2 years to get into better position. I have a mixed between "crossed-up" style of the old days when riders would wrap around the tank and prepare for the bike to rear slide and todays practiced technique of keeping your hips shoulders head, inline with one another. I got the bump into advance last year, and prior to that the coach said to me, "you need to get your knee out there" ha, i dont really stretch my pucks out wide, I hug the side of the bike, and when i get knee i know its about as low as im going to get before traction loss. Well this isnt a body positioning forum, ha its so you can look at my cheap gun paintjobs that cost about 100$ in paint.

Hell, those don't look too bad! And no one's going to say your bike looks like all the others eh?

I found that with bright colors, the photographer can not only see me better and focus on me more than a black bike, some guys think im a coach, so i tell them turn one goes left and it actually is right. Just kidding, its a labor of love. I like putts-ing with paint, and even if it isnt as clean as a pro-job, im going down at some point so i know how to fix it.

I have access to a 50 x 50 bay door garage, they have a suction fan to blow all the overspray outside, and i used a compressor and a gun i bought. Not a booth but it works for td stuff.
