They are good conditioning and help smooth out your stroke. My experience has been that the two most useful enhancements to rollers are: [1] A fan, particularly if it's run off of the rollers. [2] Something to occupy the mind. Rollers get pretty boring otherwise. My favorite is to run headphone connections and then listen to an album side at a stretch. Rollering with someone else is good, too. For those who can't imagine sitting in the basement working away and going nowhere, or who aren't as serious, how about cross country skiing as an alternative? It's good to see that this group finally exists. rick floyd uucp: (seismo | allegra)!rochester!rick arpa: rick@rochester
