So,, why is it that Calvin is so successful riding the rail? Do other jocks just not try it? I can only imagine that it is scary to ride that close to the rail. I ride endurance horses and there is about a mile stretch of pines that we canter thru on our regular training trails. Its really twisty and you have to keep your legs tight or you will take out a knee. If not your whole damn leg. The horses love this stretch and always want to open up, adding to the excitement. I can't even tell you how much fun this is,,, but also somewhat nerve wracking. Wonder if hugging the rail is similar?
