and the short video tutorial ...

and you do not have to go fast to get the rythm of  breathing in, planting the pole, sinking down and breathing out ... just relax and bend the knees!

of course, while riding "for real" you will not use the poles and you can be much more playful with the hands and arms, but getting back to the basics and "planting the poles" gives you a sense of calibration and you can get rid of a lot of "bad habits"
